"Hey, Jenna, do you think we'll still be friends when we're eighty-two?" I asked my friend. It was clear
that she was wondering where I had come up with such a question. Losing Jenna would be like losing a
very close sister. We hung out together. We gave each other advice.
"Of course, we'll still be friends when we're eighty-two." Jenna announced loudly.
The next year, in the fourth grade, we met Jamie. The three of us soon became close friends. We
played together almost every day. I thought even time couldn't pull us apart, but I was sadly mistaken.
The three of us started fighting a lot. Before Christmas, we had a really big fight, and Jamie and
Jenna were against me, both saying I was bossy. I felt helpless and lonely. I thought Christmas would
be horrible!
I was surprised when Jenna came to my house and gave me an awesome Christmas card she had
made for me. I was so sure that she was still disappointed with me.
"Wow, " I said, breaking the silence as we stood on either side of my front door. "Thanks."
"Okay…well…I have to go," she said softly.
" Okay. See you later then…"and I closed the door.
"Who was that at the door?" my mum asked.
The card started off with "Merry Christmas", but then it said, "I am so glad we're friends. I am sorry
about what I said when we were fighting. A fight won't stop us from being friends. Besides, we said we
were going to be friends even when we're eight-two."
I stopped reading and started laughing. I couldn't believe I had forgotten what she said that day in
her back yard. I couldn't believe I had been so selfish in trying to get even an
d making my friends feel
sorry for me that I had forgotten about real friendship.
