Passing the mile marker, notifying me that Norfolk was right around the corner, thrilled me, but for some reason my palms were sweaty and I had butterflies doing loopty-loops in my stomach. I was on my way to visit Julia, one of my best friends at the time. The whole way there, in bumper to bumper traffic, I reflected on all of my memories with her, including playing on a fallen, rotten tree and pretending that it was milk chocolate shop. As little girls, we would dress up in glittery, razzled costumes and sing our hearts out, which continued well into our teen years when she drove me to school my freshman year.

Nate and I got our food quickly and sat down, immediately bonding because he had done show choir for Hanover in high school. I had just found out a week previously that I made Just For Show, Midlothian’s mixed show choir. We discussed the pros and cons of participating in chorus and he was so welcoming and friendly to me. He always made eye contact and laughed at me even when my jokes may not have been that funny. Katelyn was a shy girl, but super kind, even off ering to give me a tour of the campus the next morning. After dinner, everyone headed back to Julia’s dorm room to hang out some more. Eventually, more and more people showed and joined us, making it jammed pack full of people. To make more room, we moved Julia’s rose golden couch onto one of the bunkbeds in the room. Nate hooked up his phone to the Bluetooth speaker and started playing music in whichShow MoreRelatedPersonal Narrative : My Best Friend1210 Words   |  5 PagesSunday, my friends and I were eating a meal of thick stew and crusty bread and drinking a pitcher of hot, spiced, and very watered-down wine. We’d chosen my room because it was the biggest and therefore had the most space for practicing weaponry, our afternoon plan. My friends ate and made small talk.
