Do you have a friend for life? I have one. My friend is an outgoing girl. Her name is Cicy. She tells me that “Cicy” means “a little princess” in English. I think she's a real princess. It has been over six years since she became my best friend. And now she is studying in Hangzhou.

She is a little fatter than me. She is much taller than me. Her hair is a little curly and long. I think she is a pretty girl.

I still remember the day when she left. I stood in front of her house and saw her taking her bag to the car. I coughed uneasily. Cicy turned toward me with a sad smile. “I am leaving for Hangzhou in ten minutes,” She said. “I know.” I was afraid to see her eyes so I did not look at her. I was so angry at myself for being weak. I wanted to cry but I knew I must be brave. “I hope you can get better grades during the following term.”After seeing the sad look on my face, she quickly added, “I'll be back soon.” I tried to say something to thank her but I found I couldn't say anything. It's always better to keep quiet if you're about to cry. “Oh, well... bye.” My tears nearly came out. So did hers.

I remember the day on which she cried sadly on my shoulder. I remember the day on which she took off her clothes when I felt cold. I remember the day...
