Day 1: Your Best friend

Day 1: Your Best friend 

Kenneth,

In an instant everything about you made me want to punch you. From head to toe you reaked of the free willing California life. When I saw you waiting in the front office, as a freshman, you wore a red button-up flannel with long brown hair that made you even more Asian than you appeared. Girls gathered around the windows of the front office to look at you like this was a zoo and you were the new animal. I could already feel the tension with the males in the hallway, automatically not wanting to talk to you and calling you names that send junior high girls home crying.

Instantly remorse washed over me as I stared at you. Once our eyes met, within that same moment, as did our bromance of a life time. I could hear the music that played int he background, initiating every reason for me to believe that I wasn't gay, but oddly fascinated by you.

That same day, we became friends as I sat next to you at your table of females.The pissed off annoyed look you had the whole time they talked was priceless; Thinking back on it now, I wish I could have shot it. You were a junior at the time, so naturally we didn't have any classes, but I will always be thankful for seeing you at lunch that day and decided to talk to you and sit next to you.

I waited a while before I invited you out to my house. I was scared of what you would think and how it would change our friendship. Me, Arthur, living in the high-rise with a family that is still piecing its self back together while you... you lived with a mother in a tan/orange HOUSE that had a horse and hammock. I could tell you how jealous I was of you, but you and everyone else wouldn't believe me.

So I took you to where I slept and ate regularly, and you shrugged it off like it had no meaning, no defintion or relevance to our relationship. Then we went to the Sweet Brag Tour of '09 and came home to my place sweating. Best spring break I've ever experienced. 

Then you got a new girlfriend nammed Summer. I thought she was cool at first, but then I began to see the change in you. I won't get into details about her, but you and me know what happened and I wished for the longest time that it wouldn't get to you.

Then, before I knew it, mid-way through my sophomore year, before you graduated, I never saw it coming. "My mom is moving to California, so I'm going, too." 

After all these years, in the year of 2012, you came back to Texas and you worked so hard to live near me in the high-rise. I honestly have to say that I truly admire someone like you. It was like you had nothing then gained everything. I'm proud to say that I'm your friend and I'm more than happy to help you find a job, grab some money and some grub.

You have showed me how to have a good time with others and you showed me a world I didn't know of. I guess what I'm trying to say is, thank you. You're an awesome friend that God gave me.

-Your Nig Nig.
