“Hey, Jenna, do you think we’ ll still be friends when we’re eighty-two?” I asked my friend.

    Losing Jenna would be like losing a very close sister.

 “Of course, we’ll still be friends when we’re eighty-two,” Jenna announced loudly

The next year, in Grade Four, we met Jamie. The three of us soon became close friends. We played together almost every day. I thought even time couldn’t pull us apart, but I was sadly mistaken.

The three of us started fighting a lot. Before Christmas, We had a really big fight, and Jamie and Jenna were against me, both saying I was bossy (专横的). I felt helpless and lonely. I thought Christmas would be horrible!

I was surprised when Jenna came to my house and gave me a terrible Christmas card she had made for me. I was so sure that she was still disappointed with me.

 “Wow,” I said, breaking the silence as we stood on either side of my front door. “Thanks.”

 “Okay…well… I have to go,” she said softly.

 “Okay. See you later then…” and I closed the door.

 “Who was that at the door?” my mom asked.

“It was Jenna, my classmate.” I said.

The card started off with “Merry Christmas”, but then it said, “I am so glad we’re friends. I am sorry about what I said when we were fighting. A fight won’t stop us from being friends. Besides, we said we were going to be friends even when we’re eighty-two.”

I stopped reading and started laughing. I couldn’t believe I had forgotten what she said that day in the backyard. I couldn’t believe I had been so selfish in trying to make my friends feel sorry for me.
