All Together,
I first met my best friend at school seven years ago. My teacher had told me that there was to be a new girl called Balen and that I should look after her. She told me to go to head teacher's office to collect Belen and bring her back to the classroom.
Walking through the school, I felt very excited. I started ti think about the qualities I wanted my new friend to have. She would be bold, lively, and lots of fun. We were going to have such adventures together!
When I finally arrived at the office, the sullen,awkward girl waiting for me was nothing like I had imagined. She took one timid glance at me, and then quickly looked down at her feet again. She was small and skinny with a pale, freckly face that was made all the paler and thinner by her thick, straight, pale brown hair.
"My name is Marina, not Belen. Belen is my second name", she replied resentfully.
"Huh, great start", I thought to my self as, without another word, I turned and started walking back to the classroom, with Marina following reluctantly behind.
Seven years later, I can say that marina is my best friend!
We have had di many great Times together. It just goes to show that first impressions can be wrong.
