I have been at the same school since 1997 where I have met the best people and some I believe will be the best people that I will ever meet. There are two other people, Luke and Eleanor, who have followed in the direction and have travelled through this long beginning with me and will always be remembered. There are times we weren't so close and times that we were, nevertheless they were there with me through the whole thing.

The originals. In my heart, we have those engraved hip flasks that none of us could be bothered to get.

There are many people I have and still love to this day and they too will never leave me as they have made that firm placement and grown on me like some sort of attachment.

My first best friend was Divya Balasubmaranian, and she was the nicest person to me in my earliest years of school. She was my best friend in year 3 and I remember I used to go to her house so much and I loved playing with her hamster, and she was just so honest and nice to me. I also remember she had a love for wrestling and all the wrestling cards and everything, and remembering back now, The Rock was definitely her favourite. We were inseparable until the day she left our school. I was pretty upset but I think I was too young to dwell and think about it too much. I miss being a child when things like that were easier.

From then on I was pretty much a guy. I would hang around all the guys and play football and I just loved it. I have no idea why. It was just something I enjoyed doing, and I wish that if it were to happen now, people wouldn't judge you for just hanging around with guys.

When I moved to college, it was completely different. I lived in a place where i was forced to be a girl in a sense. Not that I didn't like it, but it just wasn't what i was used to. Growing up around girls was so difficult because there are so many things that girls can do wrong to each other without knowing, and as they have so many feelings it's hard to know which person you are crossing. I have learnt not to step on anyones toes and be fair when it comes to arguments. It's the best way to be. Don't get involved in anything that you shouldn't get involved in. It always gets worse.

I digress.

Moving about 7 years ahead is where I am now. There are a couple of people that I just love so much and so do not want to leave them at all.

My foreign friends Aya and Michelle have been the best to me all the time. They just understand me so well and I am just so sure to trust them.

My two foreigners that I can't wait to see again. Hope this gives me an excuse for a holiday.

Mo and Izzie who as a team we form Nessmobelle. These two mean so much to me that I can't even tell you. They have been the most wonderful and understanding people I have met and they have this beautiful quality of making you smile or laugh no matter what situation you are in, and it's just so refreshing. I can be completely mental with these two and they wouldn't care and they would join in.

I wouldn't change these four people for the world and hope to God that I stay in touch with all of them because they are (cliche coming) the best friends that a person can ask for. They definitely helped me survive the IB.

Lastly is Max, I mean i cant talk about leaving if it doesn't involve him. We got off to a great start and the journey was rocky but i wouldn't change what we have. It's just different and I just can't explain what we have. The countless times I have been upset but I can't change it. I simply can't and honestly, I don't want to. Saying goodbye is the worst thing if you don't know when you will say hello again. I just hope all these hellos will be close by and happy, because all these people truly deserve their happiness.

There are a few others that I haven't talked about that are and would still be there for me and are still my friends and wish them the best in the future and hope to see all of them soon.
