It was honestly a crazy way to start a friendship. We went from playing volleyball and eating Doritos, to fake dating in .2 seconds. But I wouldn't change it for the world. Life was small back when we met. Both of us, in the same graduating class, from the great state of Pennsylvania, and caught up in the everyday drama of a small campus, it's really no wonder how we got so close so fast.
I'll never forget the first night we hung out. It all started as your fake girlfriend for a hot second; ya know, I was just trying to help you out, but that turned into an hour of running around campus holding hands. People thought we were crazy, but we were just having fun. Lexi O'Sexy derived from that night as well as a life long friendship--someone I still go to when I'm sad, missing home, or just want to talk. You have become such a big part of my life in such little time.
When I was on Skype with you the other night, you said that you couldn't believe that I write about so many people that aren't in my life anymore. You said that you couldn't believe that I never wrote to the guy that gave me the pencil sharpener. You're right, though. I surround myself in such negativity sometimes, that I forget you are always right in front of me.
My last day at your school, you gave me some paint to fix up the walls in my dorm room. I fell down the stairs because they were soaked in soapy water. You laughed when I came back with a new shirt and a wet floor sign. You gave me a little box and a baseball. You told me not to forget you, called these things momentos (so cliche). I mean, how could I forget someone as goofy as you? (;
In the little box was a pencil sharpener from where you work--the Strasburg Railroad. To be honest, I'm not really sure what it is; I'm sorry I don't know as much about trains as you do. It sits on my desk everyday though. People always ask me about it, and I love when they do because it gives me a chance to talk about someone that made all the difference in my life.
It's kinda funny because when I take a step back from our friendship, we kind of suck. We barely talk, but when we're together we are a force to be reckoned with. We never know when to quit, but we always pick right back up where we left off after a little while.
I'm not really sure how last year would've went without you around, but I thank God every day that I still get to have you in my life. Here's to my fairy pinky hair and all of the pictures together that we can't post. You're one of a kind, and I will see you very soon. Love you.
