Jennifer :)

OK, so I didn't find my best friend on StumbleUpon, but I think the story of how we met deserves a post!:

I remember the remember meeting my best friend Jen like it was yesterday. I was the first day of the sixth grade in our second period agriculture class. There are five elementary schools that feed into Hereford Middle, and I came from the smallest one- Fifth District Elementary. Each class I went to that day I saw more and more new faces, which became overwhelming. I had tried talking to people in a few of my classes as an effort to start making friends. Most people were equally as eager to converse, but some people were very shy and didn't say much. I complemented one girl, Jessica, on her shoes, and she thanked me then continued to sit quietly for the rest of class. This discouraged me because I had to sit next to her for a whole year and I didn't want to spend it in silence! When I got to agriculture class, Mr. Doepkins called each of our names in alphabetical order and sat us in our seat. When he got towards my part of the alphabet I paid close attention to who I would be seated with. "Groff, Hilgartner, Hunter, Jackson. You four are seated here.", Mr. Doepkins said as he pointed to our table.  We took our seats and waited for him to finish seating the other students. Once everyone had a seat he went over the syllabus. This part of class always bores me because I can read a syllabus by myself, I don't need someone to read it to me! As I sat there and pretended to be following along, I felt a poke coming from my left. "Hi, I'm Jen. Whats your name?"She was wearing a blue Abercrombie and Fitch shirt which was very fitted on her muscular arms, and a pair of white shorts. She also had her hair pulled back tightly with small braids feeding into it. Judging by her hair and large muscles, I knew she was a gymnast. Once we started talking I knew we we're going to be friends. We talked about everything from where we're from to what we like to do for fun. "I love shopping!"she said. "Me too! We should go shopping together soon!" We did end up going shopping a few weeks later, and every year since then we have gone to the same mall together on that date to celebrate our friendship.
