CHOICES
When I first met Molly, she instantly became my best friend. We enjoyed the same things, laughed at
the same jokes and even had the same love for sunflowers. It seemed like we had found each other
at the right time. Both of us had been in different groups of friends that didn’t get along or we didn’t
feel comfortable in. We were thrilled to find each other. Our friendship grew very strong. Our
families became friends, and everyone knew that wherever you found Molly, you found me.
Seventh grade started and we weren’t in the same classes. We both made new friends. We spent less
time together, and we rarely talked on the phone.
