Everyone says they had the best group of friends in high school...but I really did. My group of friends is not something that can properly be explained. The love and bonds between us all are like steel cables, never to be broken. No matter how far apart, or how many of us change, we will never stop loving one another. I think its impossible. This is a memoir to my friends, though, most of the things shall never be written down because its really incriminating.
