there is a big difference between friends and people you just talk to. Everyone can not be friends. Everyone talks about somebody no girl or boy can say they never talked about a friend. But my friends they got my back we are the type of friends who talk about each other in front of each other. We keep it 100 we don’t lie each other we don’t make each other feel left out. We share clothes we have occasional disagreements with each other and i always win because im always right but we cant stay mad at each other to long. if one of us get in trouble we all get in trouble. we love taking pictures with and of each other we are all just so crazy so we hang out and do nothing but it be fun we go to each houses and spend time with each other we are the type of friends who will try to kill each other but would kill for each other. We have times when we really cant stand each other. We fight over whose wrong and whose right. my bestfriend Mudda is a quiet,crazy,loving,conceited girl. Jael is the skinny,outgoing, adoring girl. Razonah is the loud, outstanding, pretty girl. and me im the all of the above thats why they all love me.
