Oh hi, in this thread it's already a success! 👍
In that case then, a little story...
I'm currently in year 10 at school, and i've never really been the one for friends. In year 7, it was a new class for me, and I knew nobody. I gradually found people to talk to, but I never really had a friend. Everybody knows me - I think half the schoolchildren in Liverpool have heard of me - but I just was never close with anybody.
There were people I knew would never become my friend, as they were either horrible to me, or were idiots. However, at the end of year 9, a person who i'd never liked, had always been horrible to me, and is probably one of the most popular people in the school, started talking to me. Even just 6 months ago, he would still talk to me sometimes as if he hated me. However, fast forward to now, he's my best friend. I could honestly not live without him. I don't know how, or why, we got close, but we did. We didn't say anything, do anything, change anything... but now we're close.
Overall, it amazes me how much impact a best friend can have on you. We talk every night, and i've never been happier.
I just have no idea why it happened.
