Write about the first time you met/interacted with your future best friend for life! The first time is always special, and by best friend, it doesn't just have to be a fellow human, it can be a beloved pet or animal as well!

I lived in Tennessee for most of my life. We weren’t exactly rich, so when my dad got a job offer in Texas we moved as soon as we could. I was only 8 but I still had a pretty good friend group. When I moved there, there was this really sweet girl who always made it a point to talk to me. I thought she was super pretty. About two months later she asked me to be her Valentine using a little hand made card. (Yes I still have it) We started “dating” and it never stopped. 15 years later I asked her to be my wife. Our 10th anniversary is this month.



TL;DR, A girl at my new school had asked me to be her valentine in 3rd grade. Married ten years.

    Ok so I have a few stories, here are the most interesting ones:
    In Year One I had just moved to my second primary school from London and I was talking about how great my old school was, when this girl Jessica came up to me and said that this school is way better than my old school and we got in a fight about it, but then after about two seconds of silence she offered to be friends. She is still one of my besties, and with a stroke of luck, we went to the same secondary schools and we are in the same class.

    Recently, I became a lot closer with one of my friends from primary school when we were placed in the same class and this happened when I saw her BeAuTiFuL highlighters and I kept stealing them, and since then it has become our inside joke (:

    And finally I met two of my best friends when I set them up on a date. I wasn't that close with either of them at this point, and their relationship didn't work out, but I am so glad we are friends now. Also they are both my pretend brothers in different ways. Like one of them we look we are siblings, and everyone thinks we are(we aren't ), and one of them is like my big brother coz we have this inside joke thingggg and you know what imma shut up now

    I met my best friend second year of high school. She and I were putting on makeup in the bathroom the first time we met. We apparently did this many mornings at high school and spoke those mornings 😂. We became best of friends and I literally can tell her anything. We were each other’s maid of honor in each other’s weddings. Now fast forward from 2004 till now we can still talk about anything. I am so thankful for a friend like her. Great friends, they might be far away but are always close to your heart and you always can pick up right where you left off.

    So at my synagogue they do Hebrew school. I met my best friend in “class” in pre-k. At the time, i was about 3 and the year was 2012. Now we get to the funny part. A year later, so then I was almost 5 and had watched every single star wars movie, my parents had decided to show me and my 8 year old sister, “Space Balls”. My parents did not remember how inappropriate it was, and my dad wanted us to watch it while my mom was kinda on edge about it. By the end of it, (and I did not get most of the jokes, unlike now) my mom was giving my dad quite the look. But the following day, I had Hebrew school. There was a family event, and they were asking us questions in front of all the parents on fun things we could do together. And you know what I said? “We could watch movies, like Space Balls!” My parents were so embarrassed, but that is what sealed the deal between me and my best friends’s parents. I may have forgotten it and this is my mom’s side of the story but yep! I have been best friends with that girl since and hopefully it will stay that way.

    I was ahead in math in elementary school, so every math class in second grade I would go to the third grade class and in third grade I went to the fourth grade math class. She was in both of these classes. After third grade, I took a few tests and was able to skip fifth grade. We were in the same fifth grade class and she declined an invitation to a really good school so that we could go to the same middle school. I have a crush on her and have been hinting at it for a while, but I don't think she gets it.

    My mom bumped into the mom of Brady. She apologized, but from that brief contact we tried to get out of their stomachs and to each other. 11 years passed and we are still the best of friends. Sadly we only get to see each other once or twice a year but we got each other’s phone numbers and now we can text and chat.
