TKAM Ch. 6

In elementary school, my best friend was a girl named Sarah. We met in kindergarten, through the after school program that our school district offered. She went to May Moore Elementary School and I went to John Quincy Adams Elementary School, so we only got to spend time together every day after school until five 'o clock. Growing up, no one could ever understand how we were such good friends. She was the epitome of a tomboy, and I despised any form of physical activity. However, it was our differences that allowed our friendship to become so strong. We easily balanced out each other's extremes. We remained close throughout elementary and intermediate school. We never had any classes together; the closest we came to spending time together during the school day was in fifth grade, when her class was next door to mine. The after school program was only offered for students up to fifth grade, so everything changed when we started middle school. Even with nine classes, we didn't have a single thing together. Without the after school program, we began to lose touch. My moving to Florida pretty much finalized the end of our friendship. We still talk over the computer, and I don't regret our drifting away from each other. She was one of the best friends I have ever had to this day.
