In my last post I left out a very important person: Victoria! Victoria has been my best friend since we were in 2nd grade. I remember she stood behind me in line, and I turned around and pointed out a kid with a buzz cut and said, "That kid doesn't have very much hair." She started laughing and told me that he was her best friend, and then all 3 of us were best friends up until 5th grade when he moved. Me and Victoria spent every weekend together that we could. Most of the time we went to her house because she had 4-wheelers, and I thought those were the most amazing things in the world. I could spend days and days and days with her and we never got tired of each other. We would always sign each others' yearbooks, "See you every single day of summer!" I would spend 3 or 4 days over at her house, take a break for a day or 2, and then I would go back to her house or she would come to mine. Her mom always went grocery shopping the week before I came over cause me and Victoria could eat our way through anything! She always had deer sticks (which became my favorite food ever) and we would eat a pack, and then she would send a pack home with me. Her pawpaw would Burger King and we would get chicken fries and sit in the car yelling "chicken fries!!!" in our ghetto voices. He would take us to Dollar General and we would buy dumb things that we never needed, like silly putty or candy we didn't even like. Sometimes we would go to the Country Club and swim. A few times we went to her neighbor's and swam in our clothes cause we were too lazy to put on swimsuits. The last two summers I spent with her, her parents had a camper and we would sleep out there cause it was like living in our own house. We could eat whatever junk food we wanted, drink soda straight from the 2-liter bottle, and keep the music blaring all night. She was always on my side. It didn't matter who I was fighting with or if I was right or wrong, she always stuck up for me. We played volleyball together for 4 years and we always teased each other about who was better. She turned out to be a better passer, and I was a better hitter.
The summer before we went into high school she found out she was moving to Tennessee. We were both really upset because we had been best friends for so long, and now she was moving 4 hours away. We spent all the time we could together that summer. After she moved, we still talked on the phone and texted all the time. Even though she's in a whole other state, she's still the person I go to with all my problems. She's my best friend and she always will be.
