Loss of a Friend
It was the first day of my high school experience, and I had been in Switzerland with my grandparents for two weeks. Everyone had been to orientation, but I had missed it. I had no idea where any of my classes were. The day went on, but I didn't feel very comfortable. I went to my fourth period class, and there he was with his wonderful smile. This smile could turn any bad day around. As soon as I walked in the door he embraced me and said, " I have missed you so much." "Not as much as I missed you," I replied. I then found my seat and sat down to listen to the teacher. As she was explaining the rules of the class, I started thinking about how Michael and I met. Michael and I met the year before, during our eighth grade year. I had classes no one else was in. All my friends were together, but I was making the best of what situation I was in.

The only person I missed or even thought about was Michael. My friend answered, and after about five minutes she hung up. He started hanging out with all my friends and went to the movies with us every Friday night. It was a tragic experience in my life, but I learned a lot from it. We would talk about everything that was going on in our lives, and what we didn't finish we talk!ed about over the phone.
