Letters to my long lost friends:
Camilo:
You were my first guy friend and we met when we were 15 and in the 9th grade! I believe we met in art class. We hung out in there, after school, before school, during lunch, and even on occasion outside of school. I had a lot of fun with you, we used to talk about guys together as you were gay, I always thought that was cool. You helped me through many hard things that I was struggling with in my life at that time. I really appreciated your support. We made a lot of awesome memories at my house, your house, and even Busch Gardens. We ate cotton candy... lots of it! and got our lemonade wet. We even went to the movies and saw I believe Spider-Man 2. Once 10th grade came around, you were changed though. It seemed like you had tons of new friends and just left me behind. You didn't treat me like your BFF anymore, you would only hang out with me for like 10 minutes before running off to be with someone else. I was heartbroken over this. You were really the only friend I had at the time, and I felt abandoned and alone. Even though we were not that close anymore we remained friends through out 10th grade. I eventually dropped out of school and went to be with Zack, we still were friends at that point. We even hung out a few times together, you, Zack, and I. I remember we had a big sleepover one time, it was really fun. One day Zack decided he didn't want to hang out with you any longer and I had to go along with it, so we lost contact. About 2 years later Zack and I broke up and I got back in contact with you, but you turned a cold shoulder to me, you didn't seem to understand why I put Zack before you and wanted nothing to do with me. We lived down the street from each other and you wouldn't even come and see me. Despite all the friend requests I have sent you, you still won't add me on Face Book. I guess I really upset you. I am sorry and I wish we could be friends again.

I met you when I was 16 and in the 10th grade! We met in the oddest of ways, I remember I was walking around at lunch time with another one of my friends, Kellum, and we were saying that we were an incomplete water molecule, that he was the H and I was the O but we needed another O to make H2O! We asked you to come be our O and you said yes! I have no clue what we were thinking lol. After that we were friends though. Kellum quickly stopped hanging out with us and it was just you and I. We were lone wolfs together, both kinda friendless at the time. You were shy like me, I think we had similar anxiety problems. We ate lunch together and talked about stuff, I always told you about the craziness in my life and I you always told me about the simplicity of your life. I always felt like a bad ass compared to you. Your life seemed so calm while mine seemed very well... messed up. I talked about Zack a lot once I met him and you always told me he was bad for me but I never cared to listen. I do thank you for trying, you were right. Eventually I left with Zack and you remained at school. I remember the whole reason I created a Face Book was so I could talk to you! That was a fail, as our conversation was quickly ended, you seemed to have a busy life and no time to talk to me. You also moved away to some far state to go to college, I think for a drama or music major or something like that. It was the college you dreamed of going to in high school, you were always really smart, it didn't surprise me when I found out you achieved your goals. We are still friends on Face Book, but I am not really sure what you are up to these days as you do not post that much. It would be cool to reconnect with you someday.

You were my first neighborhood friend after my family and I moved into their new house. We met when I was 14 and in the 9th grade. We did not have any classes together when we were in 9th grade but in 10th we did. We always got in groups and did projects together. I remember we used to walk around outside and sometimes hang out in your house. One time I had cake at your house on a plate that had a picture of a guy grilling a burger. I thought this was kinda odd since you guys are Hindu and vegetarians. We didn't hang out much at my house. I think this was because we did not share very many interests. I wanted to be really close friends with you but you just kept pushing me away. I kind of got the vibe that you did not like me all that much but were pretending to be my good friend. In 10th grade we started getting rides together. My dad took us to school and your friend took us home. We talked on the way but never got really close as friends. I no longer talk to you. Last time we talked you said you and your family had moved to Lakeland. I hope you are doing well. I wonder if you are married too? I don't think we will ever be close friends because of our clashing interests. I did enjoy the times that we hung out though.
