When I was little, my family used to move frequently. Before I could even get 36 with my schoolmates, my family was on the move again. I became very 37 because of this.

Without 40 I enjoyed being with her and soon we became good friends. As time went by, I gradually became a 41 girl. But this joyful period didn’t last long. We were admitted to different colleges. I felt like I had gone 42 to my always-on-the-move childhood. I felt 43 and helpless and I was afraid that I would 44 her as my best friend. She stayed calm and said to me: “Rain, you can achieve more than I do, so 45 to your dreams and make a big effort! Real friendship doesn’t fade and we will be best friends forever.” Maybe she didn’t realize what a great 46 she was to me at that time.

I 49 her several times intending to tell her to think carefully about her 50 with the boy, but I got no more messages from her. I felt sad that perhaps our friendship would not 51 .

Now I firmly believe that distance and time can’t 55 you from a friend. If you care enough about each other, friendship never fades.
