This is yet another eulogy to someone I care about's death...

My 9th grade year was turning shitty...losing a best friend who turned out to be a bitch to an ex boyfriend who wasn't even boyriend material to begin with. I met Crystal in my Focus class and we automatically became friends and my year got better. We practically did EVERYTHING together and we helped each other out so much! We planned parties together, we went out to Shari's trying a different pie each time, we had some classes together, we went sunbathing together, we went to prom together with our two other friends, we even drooled over the guys who were popular. This is still a big shock to me, having a good friend of yours die at 21 is unexpected, I expected for us to die in 50 years, not now. She kept me on my toes, now that she is gone I am lost, I don't know what to do. She understood who I was and despite her being bossy she was a really really really great friend. A kind of friend you can never turn your back on. The last day I saw her was when I went to Seattle to visit everyone and help my dad out with the house...Kevin was in town too so we picked him up, went to Shari's, and then bowling. After we drove Kevin home we went back to my place. It was like old times. Now since she is gone things will never be the same. I am keeping my half of our "Best Friends" keychain on my set of keys and everytime I look at it I will cry. Crystal will always be my best friend, and yes I will keep my promise to her and go to our high school reunion, but I won't have fun without her.
