My Friends
I haven't done a blog post about my friends yet. Since it's practically mandatory, I might as well do it now! I'll list each of my friends and tell you a little bit about them.
1. Britney- Britney is a girl that's a lot different from me... I only became her friend because she just moved here recently! She's 16 years old, has short dark hair and brown eyes, and is kind of fat. She has three siblings, a stepbrother named Cody who's eight, a stepsister named Lexie who's nine, and a stepsister named Kaitlyn who's six. Her parents fight a lot, so I guess that must be hard for her. (I've never had that problem.) Britney loves to play board games. She beats me at Life every time we play! She also likes Spongebob stuff, Scooby-Doo movies, and, for some unfathomable reason, coloring books! She recently moved from Arkansas to St. Louis and wanted me to be her friend, and I agreed.
2.Shaakya- Shaakya is a girl from India that moved to St. Louis just this year. She has long black hair, she's tall for her age, and she has kind of a big nose. Shaakya is in sixth grade, on the silver team. She's 11 years old. We became friends because she was in my summer school class, "The Write Stuff," last year. She likes to write, just like me. That's why when I signed up for the writing club last Monday, me and Shaakya were the only two there besides the teacher, Ms. Holt.
3. Lalana- Lalana is a girl from India. She sits with me and my best friend, Shira Pollio (I'll talk about her soon) at lunch. Lalana is rather quiet sometimes, but she's chatty around her friends. Like Shira, she always brings something interesting for lunch. She also believes in sharing everything.
Jasmine- Jasmine is a really nice girl who's on my team this year. I got to know her because she was one of Cara's friends. She's really considerate; you can tell her almost anything! Sometimes she's a bit too trusting and people step all over her. Jasmine is sort of short, heavyset, and has a pretty smiling face. She's an African- American, so of course her hair is black and it's tied up in sort of a slanted ponytail. Jasmine loves make-up kits and she's somewhat afraid of heights.
Cara- Cara is an African- American girl who's twelve years old. I got to know her because she was one of Aspen's friends. She's short, she's got a perftect happy face, and she's always well dressed. Cara trusts her friends 24/7 and never takes sides in an argument. She has a personality that's eay to get along with. It's not easy to get her to get herself in trouble. Cara has a little sister named Carly who's seven. Another thing you should know about Cara is that Cara loves make-up. Her favorite store at the mall is Libby Lu, an expensive make-up store.
Aspen- Aspen is the sort of girl who's a definite drama queen. She is rather sensitive, and gets easily hurt. She 's also very chatty and always has to get the last word in. I met her during 6th grade Orientation Day. I later found out that she used to live in Nebraska before she came here. She's about medium height, beanpole thin with curly blond hair up in a short ponytail. She wears glasses and her teeth are stained. Aspen has enzyme disorders and she must take pills before she eats anything. She also must take a vest treatment once a day. Aspen loves to shop. She picks out some of the hottest clothes when her, Cara, and, I go to the mall at a store called Limited Too. She also loves music, the same music I do, like Train and Kelly Clarkson. She also likes Hilary Duff, and I'm not so fond of her. Aspen, however, thinks Shira is a total dork!
Shira- Shira is the belle of the ball. She's Jewish and is very proud of it. Like Lalana, she brings cultural lunches that her mom packs for her. Shira loves to read, especially really hard high-school level books. She's tall, and her long reddish-brown hair curls down to her shoulders. She would wear clothes that no one else would wear in a million years. She is very sensitive, and things make her cry very harshly. She ends up very uncomfortable around Aspen. I got to know Shira in first grade when she came to Craig Elementary in first grade. Now we're best friends.
Ciao for Now,
-Jess
