Her & I have gone through a lot of stuff together. I remember the old days where we would be getting in trouble pretty much all the time. But now were both trying to do good now in school. She’s that one person I could talk to & without judging my actions she gives me advice. I’m also there for her when she’s going through hard times, and on trying to cheer her up. Now, about my boyfriend he’s nice and he’s also chill. He’s there to listen to me to what I have to say.
