Since nursery to grade six I really never had a true friend I would share lunch with, because i was more of a bully. I would make faces and scare the nerds, pick up fights and argue (but not like I was always like that, I used to get bullied by other kids too you know). I had one best friend Mona who really used me and I really was a loner, and also it was because of her y circle of friends was limited.Then something happened and my life changed.Year 2000 it was.
Meredith's best friend Alicia was leaving for Canada. Alicia was all Meredith(who was a nerd back then) had. Meredith was lonely.
She found me, I found her.
*puts one hand forward* "Will you be my best friend?"
"Yeah sure" replied Meredith.
She was hesitant at first. Should I trust her? Can i trust her?
She was a girl out of those teenage books. Knew about scavenger hunt,cool teenage girl groups,back street boys,boyzone. She had all those expensive, branded Barbie and Polly toys one wished their parents got them. How was I to fit in? I had my Barbies but not the randed ones because there was another sibling who would want the remote control cars too, and according to my mother "I got you two the most toys(true) but I realised they were a waste of money because you never took care of them (I agree to some extent but a healthy childhood is a healthy childhood)
Our friendship was in its golden period and we never looked back again. BFFs we were(Im sure we've all felt that way). Long phone calls,being each others quarterback, soul sisters.We both had big egos. At first I'd take her shit, but then I became rebellious. Whatever happened we got back to each other. I always thought why my parents dint have such friends, friends who came before family and friends they could die for.
Little I knew about the grown up world.
