Best Friends

          As people grow older they make new friendships, lose old ones, and sometimes are able to keep the friendships they've made along the way. For me, my best friend who I've been best friends with for seven years has always been there for me and I know always will be there. Her name is Gabriella and she has taught me everything. We met during dance classes and ever since have been inseparable. She's always been the sporty, drop-dead-gorgeous, completely flawless girl that everyone has to love because of her undeniably outgoing personality. Then there's always been me, the spunky, goofy, not-so-sporty girl. Together we're a team. We've always been able to finish each other’s sentences and know exactly what we're both thinking. One minute with each other and already we've burst into laughter. It hasn't always been easy to be completely in love with the same best friend your whole life, but sometimes a rocky mountain is the most fun to climb.
          The reason I think that my friendship with Gabby fits into the topic of "Fitting Into Someone Else's Shoes" is because we're so different, but we still love each other. For some people, friendships are about how much you have in common, but for me and Gabby it's different. We don't have everything in common, but at the end of the day I know she will always be my best friend and if anything will be the only one I turn to for help with my lacking soccer skills.
