  Unforgettable friend

Betty,the friend who I met in the elementary school is my best friend as it used to be , I still cherish the enjoyable and unforgettable time and our friendship to this day. Despite we are separated from each other for the time being, I can revisit the bittersweet memories at any time, that's enough .

As far as I'm concerned, she used to be keen on reading, especially novels------she was crazy in reading so much that she almost forgot to have meals or stayed up all night. There seemed to be a private library her house, which belonged to her.

Few years ago, Betty played various and important roles in my life , such as a teacher , an elder sister , a close friend and so on . She often kept an eye on my daily life , even looked over my shoulder so that I wouldn't do harm to others or myself . When I did something wrong , she got tempered and threatened me:"There will soon be something new in your life." referring to her temper . Her stubbornness leaves a profound impression on me . Once she made up her mind , she was as stubborn as a mule , few people were strong-minded enough to persuade her.

After our graduation , we gradually lose tough with each other . If we were both in the same college , the life would change for the better

  But You Didn't

anonymity

Remember the day I borrowed your brand new car and dented it?

I thought you'd kill me, but you didn't。

And remember the time I dragged you to the beach,

and you said it would rain, and it did?

I thought you'd say, "I told you so。" But you didn't。

Do you remember the time I flirted with all the guys to make you jealous, and you were?

I thought you'd leave, but you didn't。

Do you remember the time I spilled strawberry pie all over your car rug?

I thought you'd hit me, but you didn't。

And remember the time I forgot to tell you the dance was formal and you showed up in jeans?美文

I thought you'd drop me, but you didn't。

Yes, there were lots of things you didn't do。

But you put up with me, and loved me, and protected me。

There were lots of things I wanted to make up to you when you returned from Vietnam。

But you didn't。
