It was my sophmore year in high school and it was the welcome back assembly. I had told my friends that we would meet outside the gym so we could walk in together and be near each other. So i didn't see them so I walked in and I just walked up the bleachers, I don't know what made me sit down next to this girl, but she I asked if the seat was taken and I told her what my friends had done to me lol etc, then i introduced myself...Monday at school in my geometry class I noticed the same red head, so I called out to her and she came over and sat next to me, we've been inseperable since. We went through junior year, senior year and did senior class cabinet and other activities, then college came and we both pledged the same sorority! I'm soo happy! She'll always be my best friend!

pledging. We'll, actully at the begining of freshman year we were in a half semester class. I remember one day we had to work on a project. He was the leader and i was the one who had to convince him why he should he lead us in something different to achieve better results. The same thing happened during pledging. He always is with his girlfriend now. My other best friends from the fraternity are gonna be living in the house with me.

I met my best friend back in 1974 when we were in 5th grade. She had just moved to the area. I was riding my bike around the corner and stopped at her house since she wanted to know where the store was. The rest is history. For the past 28 years, we've been bestfriends inspite of career moves and family changes. Not to mention that we are both sorority sisters (Delta Sigma Theta).

I met my best friend in kindergarten. Her last name is Savini and mine was Schopf, so we sat next to each other in the circle on the carpet. We both had long hair and wore pigtails all the time. Somehow, we'd constantly get our heads stuck together when one of our pigtails would catch the others ponytail holder.

We've been stuck together as best friends ever since.

That was almost 26 years ago

What an awesome thread!!

I actually have 3 best friends:

BF#1- I met Erin in 5th grade, but couldn't stand her at first. Then, in 6th grade, we both made the cheerleading squad, and roomed together at cheerleading camp-and we've been best friends ever since. She's in New York now, and I see her about once a year, but we email every day-I just luf her.

BF#2-Tiffany and I met on our first day of Freshman Algebra in hs. Our desks were set up in little clusters of 4, and Erin and I were sitting at one cluster. Tiff walked up to us, and asked if she could sit in one of the empty desks, and Erin looks her straight in the face and says no. Then she and I burst out laughing-Tiffany stared at us like we were insane, but sat down anyway. The three of us email everyday. I don't know what I'd do without the 2 of them.

BF#3- My parents were friends with Amy's parents, and my Mom was always trying to get us together, but I wasn't interested. Then, I found out that Amy was trying to get into nursing school at the same time I was. When we both finally were accepted, we would go to all the Orientation stuff together...and sit in class together...and commiserate about school together...and now we're inseperable. If we don't see each other everyday, we're on the phone with each other. She's so funny, sarcastic, smart-and she gets me to class on time!!

My best friend Becky was introduced to me by a horrible ex-roomate. Her and Becky were good friends. Becky and I discovered we were alot alike when I roomed with Chris. When Chris and I went seperate ways, Becky joked that I got her in the custody agreement.

I have two best friends and both of them are because of friendships that have gone bad with others and ended up bringing us together.

Best friend #1 (Jen) was friends with one of my sorority sisters. All three of us were dating guys from the same fraternity (Delta Tau Delta). Eventually we all dumped the guys that we were dating and started dating three new guys...who also happened to be in the same fraternity (Lambda Chi Alpha). The relationship my sorority sister was in did not last so she didn't like to hang out at that fraternity. She graduated from college and became a huge drama queen and thought that she was too good to hang out with us. Jen and I are still with the same guys three years later. We don't talk to the other girl because she recently made an ass out of herself at my little sisters engagment party. She got totally wasted and caused a big scene when Jen showed up.

Best friend #2 (Susan) was best friends with one of my good friends (both were in my sorority). They lived together and I decided I wanted to move out of my parents house. Their lease was up on their apartment so we all moved into a house. That's where things went bad. The other girl we lived with was telling us lies about each other and our boyfriends. She always wanted to be the center of attention. She always got mad at us for having boyfriends so she tried everything in her power to break both of us up. We soon moved to a townhouse and ended up kicking her out. Susan and I have been best buddies ever since. She is also still with the same guy

We have not seen or heard from our ex-roommate/ex-friend in quite some time and we are perfectly happy to keep it that way.

I am older then by best friend by two years. We lived next to each and then I move to a different state but I would come back and visit at my old house that my grandparents were living in. Then I moved back and we have been best buds since then! We both have different personalities which makes going out together a ton of fun! We are both very busy so it is hard to find time to hang out.

I met my best friend Amanda in my 6th grade English class. She sat next to me and I remember thinking what pretty long hair she had. I had always wanted longer hair but for some odd reason i always ended up cutting it short. WE began talking one day in class and ever since then we've been best friends.

We have been through good times and bad times. No matter what she has always been there for me, whether it be in the middle of the day or 3 am in the morning. Never once has she turned her back on me and for that i love her like a sister.

Amanda has always been the type of girl to uh.....do goofy things. I wouldn't call her an airhead b/c she is REALLY SUPER smart. But she has done some things that crack everyone up. For example, at prom she REALLY had to go to the bathroom and i accompanied her. Well, i guess she got to the point where she really really really had to go so she just walked into the nearest bathroom door. Well, that bathroom door happened to be the MEN's room and just as she walked in, her crush of 4 years was walking out. He gave her a funny look and she turned red. Poor girl, but seriously, me and my other friends tried soooo hard not to laugh. Needless to say, that was difficult. She didnt get too embarrassed, she laughed so hard afterwards she couldnt believe she actually did that

My bestfriend and I have been friends for 17 years this september! We met her 1st day at school. I had started Crofton House in grade 1 and she started in grade 2. I don't really remember much of it because we were only 7 but we played together and went to each other's birthday parties. The cool thing about the school we went to was that it was a private school so we went to the same school the whole way through. It was neat entering our teen years together, and boys and dates and dances and getting our licenses. After graduation we both went to UBC. Even though we were involved in different things (she did go through rush with me but didn't join) we remained good friends and are as close as ever. It neat when we talk about the past because we have different memories and remind each other of things that happened whether it be grade 4 or grade 10 or 2nd year university.

I have had the same two best friends for the lonnnngest time. The three of us grew up together and man, we had the best times!!! I met one of them in 1st grade, Jessie, b/c my daddy and her daddy worked together and she lived right down the street from me. The other one, Sara, I met in 2nd grade when her mom and my mom decided to carpool since she lived across the park from me. And then the rest is history! We're still best friends today, regardless of the fact that we all go to school in three different very FAR from each other states, but it's still wonderful!!

I met my high school best friend in the 6th grade. She was part of the "popular" group ever since 4th grade, and that group picked me as the scapegoat of the class and teased me mercilessly from 4th thru the 6th grade (we were a self contained Gifted/Talented class, so we just changed teachers together each year). Well, things were absolutely awful, that group sat together at a table (gifted kids don't get desks, we get tables!!!

), and were really exclusive and mean. I guess the teacher had enough of it, and felt really bad for me. So she created assigned seating one day, and sat me and Cindy right across from each other. It was like instant friendship. . .I still don't know how it happened. I didn't become "popular", and she "fell a couple of notches", but the group power was broken, and things got so much better.

Thank God for the teacher with the insight!!!!!! (Her name is Mrs. Mahan)
