Last August one of my best friends, Valeria, moved away. Even though we started out on a bad note we ended being best friends. I'm not quite sure why we did but soon we got passed it. I think out of all my best friends she has been one of the only ones that really knew what I've been through in my life. After me she the one who has moved the most. So she really knows how it is to move after being established in one place for a period of time. Especially when you're older because my other friends know what its like to move but haven't experienced it as much as we have and so much at an older age. I had always seen her as the "motherly" figure in my group of friends. While Fernanda, Sophia and I were goofing around with shaving cream she was the one looking at us with a face that clearly said "you are going to regret this and DON'T TOUCH ME!"
Eventually we got a scolding from her mom and wet from head to toes. She was always the one who would worry about everyone and remind everyone to bring everything. At the end of eighth grade she was the one who I most relied on and who I knew would really listen to me without being biased. I always knew she had gone through what I had gone through so many times that it was a relief actually knowing that someone really knew how it felt moving, leaving friends, your homes and not being in one place throughout your childhood. When she told me she was moving I couldn't believe it. The person with whom I had had so many long talks was moving. It was the first time one of my closest friends was moving before me. I was used to move before any of my close friends moved or at the same time, but never this. It didn't really hit me until the day, or night, she left.
