My Best Friend Friendship is one of the most important things for every person. It's been with us through the years, and today, as an adult, I can feel all the values that friendship has brought to each of us. For me, the most beautiful friendship is the one from school days, because at that time, we were just innocent children, without any distractions or anything affecting our friendship. Whenever someone asks me about my best friend, I always answer without hesitation that it is Long. Long is a very meaningful friend for me in life. For me, Long is not just a friend, but he is also a brother and a teacher in my life. Long is a healthy guy with a solid and well-proportioned body. He is already six feet tall, despite only being in the 10th grade. Long has antique bronze skin and short black hair, making anyone who sees him feel comfortable. His eyes are so black and bright, always bursting with confidence. Long's family is well off, but he is still very simple and friendly to everyone. Every day he goes to school, he wears a white shirt, black pants, and sports shoes. Never carry or brag about expensive branded items. He is also a very social person, and he is always the one who makes friends laugh. Long's biggest passion is soccer. It was thanks to football that Long and I became close friends, simply because we share a common passion for soccer.

Because I was afraid of being invited by my parents when I didn't do my homework, I was scared and didn't say a word. Suddenly, Long said, "I copied his post!" The teacher then asked Long to write a review and invite his parents. During the whole class, Long was silent and didn't say anything. In my mind at this moment, with so many thoughts, I was selfish thinking only of myself. I regret lying to the teacher and causing Long to be affected. At the end of class, I went up to the teacher and told the truth. Then she called us both up and reminded us that in studying we help each other improve, which is a good thing, but letting you take notes makes you slow in studying. Because I accepted the blame, this time she just reminded me and ignored it. She hopes we'll take it as a lesson and never do it again. I then hugged Long and said sorry; Long not only wasn't angry with me but just reminded me not to neglect my homework because of my playfulness. After that, we went home together. Our close friendship was almost ruined because of my selfishness. That was also a lesson for myself. Gradually, we became closer to each other. He always cheers me up when I'm in trouble and always helps me whenever I need help. Even though we are quite far apart, I always hope that our friendship will remain strong. And I am determined to protect this wonderful friendship no matter what difficulties lie ahead. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
