Someone that I will never forget is Clayton. Although Clayton is six years younger than I am‚ he is my best friend. I met Clayton on the school bus when I lived in Alabama. I just moved to a new town‚ so I was the new student in fifth grade. I never liked sitting in the back of the bus because it was occupied by high school students; I sure didn’t belong back there. I sat with a student who was sleeping. When we got to his school‚ I woke him up; he forgot his sweater and I put it away in my book
