Do you believe in the saying “No man is an island”? Well if you ask me, then my answer is yes. Every person here on Earth has friends, but the question is do you have best friend?

We have a new classmate when I was in sixth grade and his name is Lorenzo. He stands 5’2” with an average hair cut. He has black, big eyes and a pointed nose. He got an average body type. You can see the skin complexion of a Filipino in him. He idolizes Britney Spears and he has a good singing voice too. He has a good family back ground. If you want to have a nice buddy, you should choose him. He usually treats us in our cafeteria with some delicious macaroni with sweet juice. Everyone became his friends because of his good attitude, including me. Lorenzo got his good looking best friends named Aaron and Brian who used to be my best friends too. When we reached high school, Lorenzo and I became best friend. We went to this fine, big mall in Ermita. We always ate tasty foods in our canteen and we watched some horror movies in his big, white house. We also shared our deepest, darkest secrets to each other. He gave me a silver necklace with a cross pendant. I thought that our friendship will last but then again I was wrong. When we were in second year, I didn’t expected him to do such a thing. He spreaded false rumors about me that I endured until I graduated. Right now, I’m very thankful for what he have done to me. I am what I am now because of him. He served as an inspiration for me to be a fine, responsible man as I can be.
