So, to start, I made a friend in track about a year and a half ago. We first met online, when he asked about what you're supposed to do when you join. When we met in real life, it was his first practice. He looked a lot different then I thought he would, but that was fine. Throughout track season, we became really good friends. We ran together sometimes. I'm a distance runner, so I run 1 and 2 miles generally. There was a time when one day, I found out he was suicidal, and that he had bad depression. I worked hard to find ways to cheer him up, and it worked. Although one day, my distant coach yelled at him, and he got really upset. I had to go on a run, so I didn't know then, but when I got back from my run, I looked for him. I eventually found him in the locker room, which was the females at the time due to gender issues. He was crying, clearly upset, and then I found out he was doing something that made me very sad. I took it upon myself to rid him of this horrible object. It was the last day of school for him, and he told me he liked me, but since I wasn't single, he proposed to be best friends. He gave me a ring, and a fake rose. To this day, we are still great friends. I haven't seen him in over a year, and I really wanna see him again. Me and him both like anime, alternative music, and the color (shade) black. He helped me learn about something important about myself, and I'll always be grateful for
it. So thank you for everything you've done for me friend. I hope to see you sometime soon.
