The Girl with the Red Hair

My first day at Holbrook High School was kind of scary and lonely. My older brother was a senior, and obviously he didn’t want to be seen with a little freshman, so I think he avoided me.  When I was walking to first hour, I remember seeing Gabriel in plaid shorts, it looked like he was about to go golf, but he looked scary. Maybe it was because it was my first time going to school with non-Natives. I remember my first time walking into Pre-AP English.  I was so scared. I remembering seeing a girl with red hair walk in. She seemed kind of scary and to make things worse she was like half a foot taller than me. I never talked in that class until a few short weeks passed by I was talking to the girl with the red hair. She was actually very nice and smart. Sophomore year, we took AP-World History together, so we became closer. As each year passes by, Samantha and I become closer. This year we have grown so much closer. I spill my life to her, and she understands. She never judges me, and she listens. She has helped me through my darkest times, and she has been through my happiest times with me. Samantha and I have a strange bond. We understand each other. I think it’s because we come from very similar families. We grew up the same way, and we were taught the same things. She definitely comes from a strong family, and they have taught her well. She respects others and most importantly, she respects herself. She is extremely smart, pretty, and talented. It seems like she doesn’t even try, but I know she tries very hard. Some friendships come and go, and over the past four years I have lost more friends than gained, but I am very thankful Samantha and I are still friends. She has come a very long way with school, herself, and basketball. Every year she gets better. She is going to be playing in the final four for basketball, and I just want her to know I am so very proud of her. She has so much heart and potential. She is a hard worker. But just remember, Sam,  you are going to be playing in front of thousands of crazy Natives, so just promise me you won’t fall! Haha. I know she’ll play good because she always does. Overall, I am very glad I came to school here, and I am very glad the girl with the red hair talked to me. She is my best friend and my biggest motivator. Thanks, Samthurrrr.
