High School

High school. This is where you start to be more and more independent. It's where you start to look at your future in a more serious way. A lot of people change during those four years of high school. There is a lot of drama. Relationships start. Things happen.
A lot of people are nice. A lot of people are loud. A lot of people are smart. There are many different groups of people but I wouldn't call them cliques. The groups don't bother each other or say anything but you do notice that people do hang out in groups. A lot of the times you'll see the same people hanging out. I try to talk to a lot of different people but I do hang out with a lot of the same people. If I don't have plans it would be the same people; Evelyn, Sahar, Elmina, Haneen, and the guys.
Things have changed a lot since middle school wich is where I met most of them.
Evelyn. I met her in 7th grade. I don't remember exactly how we started talking but we became very close. When it was time to go to high school we were going to separate. She was going to go to Alameda High and I was going to go to Encinal High. I went to Encinal for half the year and we didn't really talk. When I moved and started going to Alameda High, we started talking again. We've stayed close until now.
Sahar. I knew who she was in middle school but I never talked to her. It wasn't until I moved to Alameda High that we started talking and we became very close. She is one of my closest friends. I tell her almost everything. Hahaha.
Elmina. I didn't really start talking to her until I moved to Alameda High too.
Haneen. I met her in middle school. We talked a little but not much. We talked a lot last year, more than this year.
Another one of my closest friends is Alyssa. I met her in 7th grade and I remember the first day I talked to her. It was so weird. I can say that she didn't really want to talk to me when we first met. That changed. We were really close 7th and 8th grade. When I went to Encinal I still talked to her a lot. When I first came to Alameda High I would hang out with her a lot. Then we wouldn't really hangout much but I still considered her one of my best friends. We hangout more this year and I hope it stays that way.
Yvonne. The first time I talked to her I think it was 8th grade. I had to ask her a really dumb question for one of my friends but we didn't really hangout until last year. We were really close. Almost everyday it was just her and me at lunch. We are still close, we just don't talk as much as before.
Natalie. I met her in 7th grade with Alyssa. At the time her and Alyssa weren't that close yet. I would tell her everything. After she was close with Alyssa we all started to hang out together. When I was at Encinal we just said hi once in a while but we didn't talk much. Last year we didn't talk much either. This year though, we talk a lot. I started telling her everything again.
Hong. I met her in 7th grade. We stopped talking when I went to Encinal but a soon as I moved to Alameda High we started talking again. I don't remember exactly how we met but we got along from the beginning.
Writing this I see why I grew apart from some of my closest friends from middle school. We all changed. I'm glad we are still close though. I think if I had stayed at Encinal High I wouldn't be talking to all these girls who I'm so close to. I wouldn't mind making new friends but I really don't want to lose the friends I already have.
