Shiks
I first saw her when I was 13. She had that stuck up aura surrounding her. We didnt speak to each other much then. She had her own friends, I had mine.
When I was 14, we were in the same class. We grew closer and I was glad she was my friend.
15 was my age of rebellion. We were partners in crime. We stuck together quite a bit but an incident also tore us apart.
I regarded her as my best girl friend when I was 16 and I prayed that it will remain that way. But sadly, it didnt.
After secondary school, we went our separate ways. She was the smart one who got into mass communications, and I was the dumb a*s who flunked maths at O levels. Although I made new friends, I was secretly jealous. I missed her and I envied those bunch of people who got to spend more time with her.
When we entered adulthood and started our own career paths, our schedules kept us even further apart and to a point we lost touch altogether. It was just tough to meet and catch up. We were both busy. We made appointments but more often than not, either of us bailed as there were more immediate issues which required our immediate attention.
But time apart does not make us strangers. We met up a couple of times before my wedding, when I was preggers and our last meet up was last Sunday when she dropped by my mum's cos she was in the vicinity.
Thanks Shik. For those wonderful years of friendship. Despite the misunderstandings that we might have when we were a tad younger (ehem, not that we that old now), you will always be that special girlfriend to me.
Cant wait for the 4th. *hugs*
