"There is nothing better than a friend, unless it is a friend with chocolate"

  • The year we met for the first time

    We were both in the same pre-school but in different groups. We met when we had a break and we both were playing outside. Back then it was so easy to make friends, so we just started playing together.
  • The school Talent show

    Our school had a Talent show and we decided to enter it even though we were in the first grade. We wanted to participate with a dance, so we practiced it for months. When the day finally came we were so nervous and excited. The performance went well and we had fun even though we didn't win.
  • When we started playing volleyball together

    My mom played volleyball when she was younger and she got me also interested in it. However, I didn't want to start a new hobby all by myself, so I asked my friend to join the team with me. Luckily she was also interested and that's how we started playing volleyball together. Even my mom was there coaching the team for a moment.
  • When we went to an amusement park for the first time without parents

    We had never been in an amusement park without our parents and that summer was the first time our parents let us go there without them. We felt so mature to be going there all alone but deep inside I'm sure we were both at least a bit nervous. However, the day went well and we had so much fun.
  • When we got into separate classes

    We had been in the same class in school since the first grade, but when elementary school ended we went to separate classes. It was a big shock for both of us because we had always been together in school. I'm not going to lie, our friendship wasn't the same after that, but we are still good friends with each other and at least we have time to see each other after school.
