We were laughing our heads off when
I told something Ashton never knew. Friends are people who are hardcore,
willing to talk, and very helpful. Not everyone will do that with you.
Every friend is hardcore. In my
definition, hardcore means crazy in a good way and likes doing parkour. For example,
parkour can be when you go over the school bus seats, when you go under the
school bus seats, climb the boys school bathroom walls, and (not necessarily)
shooting the boys school bathroom roof with soap. I recall a time where Rodolfo
and I went to the boy’s bathroom and we shot soap on to the roof.
“This so much fun!” said Rodolfo.
“I know right?” Branden responded.
Just then, Rodolfo shot a glob of soap onto his shoes.
“Sorry dude.”
“It
is okay; let’s get back to class before we get in trouble!”
We
laughed the whole way back.
A friend is someone who will talk
whenever he has free time. Ashton will talk to me if I call him over the phone.
Sometimes we get so caught up in our conversation, we talk for over an hour.
Once, we were talking about how Ashton was very good at Minecraft.
“So you beat all of those noobs in
team death match?” asked Branden.
“Yup,” replied Ashton “I totally
did.”
“Remember that noob who did not know
how to use that butter slapper?”
“Ya, he was like, uhh... what’s
this?”
“That guy is a total noob!”
“Exactly! That is what he deserves
to be!”
Ashton
is a great friend to have.
A true friend will teach you many
new things. Not everyone will teach you new things, only a true friend will. I
recall a time when Malem told me something I never knew about Minecraft. He had
told me that emeralds in Minecraft were not as good as diamonds. I use to think
that emeralds were much better than diamonds. It turns out that diamonds were
still better than emeralds and emeralds were completely useless. Emeralds can
only be made into blocks and can be used in trading with villagers.
“So you can’t make weapons out of
emeralds?” asked Branden.
“Well duh,” said Malem, “that is why no one
likes dumb emeralds.”
“So basically, you are trying to
tell me that emeralds are useless?”
“Yup yup yupity yup.”
Malem
was being a great friend and told me the differences between awesome diamonds
and dumb emeralds.
What
do you think a friend is? In my opinion a friend is someone who sticks with you
not only in the greatest but also in the darkest times. As Muhammad Ali had
once said, “Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you
haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned
anything.” He is definitely positively correct.
THE END
“I
love you guys,” said Branden.
“Me
too,” said good-friend Malem.
“Me
too,” said good-friend Ashton.
