Memoir

I am most certain that the majority of students have or had a friend they have known for years. Someone they can be themselves around without any judgment. Well, I used to have a special friend similar to the described description. My former friend was one of those friends who are difficult to find and lucky to have. He and I had an abundance of similar interest. Unfortunately, all great things must come to an end, and this friendship was at its end.

I took off my earring and Anthony knew what was about to happen, so he ran away from me. I began running toward him, with the earring in my left hand. Once I got close enough to Anthony, I threw the earring at him. The earring I threw hit him in the back. Once I knew the earring landed on my target, my work was finished. Ever since that particular moment eleven years ago, Anthony and I were best friends. Anthony and I remained friends throughout middle and high school. He and I shared many commonalities which prolonged our friendship. One commonality we shared was our interest for food. Anthony and I enjoyed eating at different places around San
