Key for reference:

1.We get along well with each other. We usually attend lectures together and go to parties together. We all like listening to music and going shopping. Whenever someone is in trouble, we put our heads together to find a way out. Though sometimes we may disagree with each other, we may quarrel or argue, but we would always get it settled in the end.

2.I have had the same best friend since 7th grade (I'm going to be a sophomore in college this coming year). Anyway we have always been amazingly close. I have grown to depend on her a lot. Throughout the years we have been very very close and told each other EVERYTHING. This past year we went away to college. We went to different colleges but we ended up being in the same state. We saw a lot of each other this year and we were there for each other in tough times.

- Someone who walks an extra mile just to be with you when you need them.
