friendship
C.S Lewis got it right: friendship is born when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one!"
The Final Game
Parker groaned and looked at the clock, which read 8:05 AM. From 4:00-10:00 PM on Friday night, he had been making up schoolwork that he missed during his vacation to the Bahamas the week before, and went to bed early due to exhaustion. Now, though, he perked up considerably: it was finally Saturday morning! Suddenly wide-awake, the 5’9” 9th-grader got out of bed with a pep in his step, excited for what was promised to come later in the day, at 3:30 to be exact: a basketball game. His team, the Lakers, was made up of young teenagers that had quickly become his friends – Danny, Caleb, Matt, Xander, Tyler, Dylan, and Shiv – and they loved playing together. This particular Saturday, however, was a bit bittersweet. It was the last game that all eight kids would be on the same team.

The Friends I Used To Have
Green Day. That was the band whose song was playing in the car that night. I don’t remember what song it was. My mind was elsewhere. To be honest, it was in about a million different places. I sat in the back of that car staring out the window into the cold and windy winter night.

A Walk Along the Edge
Ross shuffled towards the edge with leaden feet, knowing he wouldn’t jump, but just as sure he could fall. It was possible. Crisp air cut into his face, burning his skin, penetrating his beanie with its violence. He shivered, took a deep breath, stepped a little closer.

My Definition of Friendship
They say that you can count the number of friends that you have on your hands. Some of us have confided in people that we considered friends and we just knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that we had nothing to worry about because we thought they were our friends, not knowing that these same people were the main ones telling the entire world everything that we had told them.

Stop Expecting and Start Living Your Lives
We all are living our lives, full of expectations. Any action we perform is bound to have a component of expectation in it.
