Everyone says that most highschool friendships don't last. Some question why I am even your friend. The truth is that I'm not sure how I could function without you. You get me more than anyone else does. You're there when I need you, and I know all I have to do is text you.

We met in our freshman year. We had one class together then second semester we had two. We never talked till the end because we both thought the other would be rude and stuck up. Then we warmed up to each other once the last week of school hit. We've been friends since sophomore year. When we decided that our homeroom class was lame and we wanted actual food. We spent everyday together, and those memories are the ones we laugh at the most. From the time we went to bass pro in all camo and boots, to the time we tried to get your sister's car to look like we went mudding to impress the cute rednecks... which didn't work at all.

Yes we have fought. A lot. We made up every time we said we were done because there's no breaking this bond. We have gone weeks without talking, only to realize how stupid we were being and then make up.

The things we have in common are things most people don't understand. From when our dads left, to wanting to leave this state, you know exactly how I'm feeling just from my facial expressions.

You sat by me at my grandpa's funeral. You cried with me. You let my Memaw cry on you, along with my mom and I. You knew my whole family without me having to show you because you've met them all previously.

You introduced me to my boyfriend who I swear is everything I've ever wanted. You swore he was my type and could possibly be the one. I didn't think anything of it. Then the moment I met him, I knew you were right. You knew what I looked for in others, and somehow you found him. He's the only guy to make me feel so loved, and I know that's why you approve of him. Also, because you called it that I would like him.

We've hung out so much we have a memory for almost every song. We've spent the night together so much that we know where the others dishes go. You know that I snore and tend to take up the bed, but we both have to sleep with the fan on. We have our assigned spots on the bed. We both say hey mom whenever one of our moms call. Our moms are even friends on Facebook

Our senior year is wrapping up with only one semester left. As we start to close this chapter of our lives, I know you'll be there for the other chapters. I hope we take our first road trip together soon. I hope we go to the beach together and take too many pictures. As the day to graduation gets closer and closer, I hope you know how much you mean to me. I hope you know how proud I am that you kept your grades up so we can graduate. I can't wait to sit next to you and cheer so loud when you walk the stage, because we did it. We graduated together. We survived what thousands of friendships don't, and I couldn't be more happier to see what else we experience together
