I want to dedicate
this post to Kath!! It's her birthday today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KITTYKAT. You're
finally sixteen!

I honestly didn't
think we'd be friends like this. Seriously. When we were in first year, we
weren't classmates. And I was sort of really reserved because I was a new
student. I knew her as the girl who liked MCR, wore Converse and was good
friends with Matthew. Haha. I knew very little about her. Although later on, I
noticed she and I actually did have quite a lot in common.
We did connect
through our friends. You know how you become friends with your friends' friends
because of them? Haha, yeah. Exactly that. A n d I c o u l d n ' t b e m o r e g r a t e f u l.
Come second year, we
were actually already pretty close. We weren't classmates (again), so she'd
often come by to our classroom and greet me. I still remember when she'd come
down during lunch time and we'd spin around in the assembly area and get all dizzy
and stuff and not give a care in the world about who saw us, including the
security cameras.
Third year was o u r y e a r. First time we were classmates, but daym, it was like we had been
classmates and friends for years and years. We had the best time together. I
know we brought class to our class. Haha! It was absolutely amazing doing all
kinds of crazy stuff, and it was easier and more fun because we were classmates
and we got to see each other everyday. It was also easier in terms of
academics, because we helped each other out all the time. She was always one of
my go-to people when it came to my (endless) questions. And we shared a
whoooooole lot of similar issues that year, may it be our own personal issues,
or issues with other people, or school, or anything, you know. We just related
so much that year and clicked so much that year. Best.
I even remember how
we'd always spend our lunch breaks by the window ledge that overlooked the road
and all the buildings around our school. Third year was our year.
Fourth year, though.
Nothing can ever compare to fourth year. Because yeah, third year was our year,
but fourth year had something really different about it. Because everyone knew
that this was the last year, the year that will drown us in goodbyes and nostalgia.
We spent a whole lot of time together because we knew we wouldn't have much of
it come college. Matthew and I would always go to her house and lounge around
and watch movies and talk and laugh and just sort of waste away--together. A
good sort of wasting away. Haha.

We had a whoooole
bunch of shopping trips together in fourth year. Like, I seriously do not
remember how many times we have gone together to Forever21. She is one of the
only people I can really do this routine with (as well as Karyn).
And we just related
about movies, opinions, thoughts, fashion, celebrities, GUYS hahahaha, parents,
school, college, e v e r y t h i n g. We shared thoughts and cries and
frustrations and happiness and giddiness and rants.
When I look back at
it now, I am amazed at how close we've gotten in four years. Especially having
known nothing about her in the first year. And I never would have thought we'd
be as close as we are now.
She can be my
confidence rock sometimes. Especially when I'm feeling like ultimate crap, she
always encourages me and helps relate to my situation.
I absolutely love
her ugh. I am so grateful to God that I have such an amazing friend like her.
She'll be one of those keeper friends, you know. Like, no matter how long you
don't talk sometimes because of distance and time constraints, you'll still
find a way to be like you've been talking to each other every single day. And I
believe that friendship like that is rare, you know. You don't get a lot of
people like that in your life. And they're keepers. I've learned, it took quite
a number of lessons too, to treat them like priceless gems, because they'll be
those little treasures you'll find in life.
Sixteen Sweet years
to you, Kittykat! :*
