The reason Aisha and I are still extremely close is because we went through the same hardships during our late elementary school years‚ and she was the only person who kept me alive and sane in middle school and high school. We became good friends during the 5th and 6th grade when we were both bullied by the same person claiming to be our friend.

The first time my best friend of four years told me that she would not be returning for our final two years of high school‚ I never dreamt that my life would become dramatically different.
