It's amazing why people become friends sometimes.

Of course, they have to have something in common.  But that thing could be anything.  Sometimes it's just the fact that they like the same celebrity, or pursue the same interests, or play the same sport.  But sometimes it's simpler.

Sometimes, it's just the fact that you're put in the same class together.

This is the case with me and MH.  It's been more than just once, it always seems like we're in two or three classes together every year, but still.  That's all it takes.

She's definitely a nice girl.  It's amazing how little I know about her, yet we manage to find topics of conversation.  Even if it's just about school.  Even if it's about Shakespeare.  We still talk, we laugh at each other's jokes.  We have a good time.  We don't walk away from each other in a state of disdain.

She's one of those people who I could never picture being unhappy.  You must of met somebody like that in your life.  Who, even when they're angry, they're still laughing and smiling.  She's one of those people.  This world needs more of those people.  They're very easy to like, and I can't see why anyone wouldn't want to be friends with them.

First day of AP Chemistry this year, we sat next to each other.  When it was time for lab partners, each other was the obvious choice.  We work well together.  She's a big part of that.

I won't say that I'm calling her a best friend, or that we're even in the same group of friends.  But that's the beauty of the whole thing.  How many people are there that aren't super-friends, but you can still have a pleasant conversation with?
