That Girl Lissa (myshiningstar14)

Walking alone down the crowded hallway, i wonder about my future. will this new school be any different from the last? would i be constantly tormented and made fun of? would i come home crying again? all these fear-filled thoughts rush through my mind at a million miles an hour. gradually my fear turns into terror as the first day of school approaches. i know no one at this school, i have no one to turn to.
i walk into the auditorium and it seems like everyone turns to stare. at the new girl, slim and fair.
looking at no one, i sit by myself, waiting for instructions of where to go. consumed by an unnatural fear, i jump almost out of my skin at the touch of a hand upon my shoulder. terror-stricken, i glance up to see who was there.
and you're all wondering who this person is, aren't you? well, let me tell you. standing there, with her heart reaching out, was Melissa Darya Wilson. the first person to come up to me at west-Mont Christian academy and make me feel at home.
shy to the end, i reach out to shake her hand and introduce myself. and it all went on from there. :) there was no turning back from THAT friendship. in the two years i knew Lissa, she was always kind and caring and full of laughter. well, except for those few times when i know she felt like biting my head off. :) we told each other EVERYTHING! there's not one thing about me that Lissa doesn't know. I've told her everything from
the story of my adoption to the present problems with me and my
dad. that girl is precious to everyone she meets.
but now, she's moved to Utah, and I've lost a best friend. i don't know if I'll ever recover, but i can certainly try!! God sent me a kindred spirit in Melissa, but He also took her away. but one thing i know for sure, I'll never forget the times we shared, the sleepovers, the conversations on the phone, the laughs, the trials, the comforts, the losses. all the memories are special.
so, Melissa, please don't forget me, i promise i won't forget you.
don't forget the special jokes that only you and i shared, or the times when you helped me keep my head up and not cry. you know what I'm talking about.
this is a tribute to you, to that girl Lissa, who was kind enough to reach out and make the first move toward friendship that day two years ago.
have fun in Utah!! and always go where the Lord leads you.
oh, and make sure you stay out of johnny's apartment at night!! ;)
JK!! i luv you, girl!! and you'll always be my best friend.
