"Hey, Jenna, do you think we'll still be friends when we're eightytwo?" I asked my friend.
While I waited for Jenna to answer, I started wondering what life would be like without her.
Suddenly, my thoughts were interrupted. "Of course, we'll still be friends when we're
eightytwo," Jenna announced loudly.
The next year, in fourth grade, we met Jamie. Since she lived in the same neighborhood as
Jenna and me, the three of us soon clicked into a really tight group of friends. Things couldn't
have been better, and I thought even time couldn't pull us apart, but that is where I was sadly
mistaken.
The three of us started fighting a lot-and not just small fights where your friend won't return
a CD you let her borrow. Before Christmas, we had a really big fight. They both said I was
bossy and couldn't keep my mouth closed. I felt helpless and alone.
I was surprised when Jenna came to my house and gave me a nice Christmas card she had
made for me. I was so sure that she was still disappointed with me, but now I was getting a
really nice card that she even made herself.
"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.
The card started off with "Merry Christmas", but then, farther down the page, 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 eightytwo."
