To My High School Best Friend

BFF? or Frenemies forever?

To My High School Best Friend


Harry Thomas, this one is for you:

Our friendship skyrocketed during our sophomore year of high-school.

We never put a label on our friendship until our sophomore year. We had almost every class together, and we always counted on one another for our very intense study sessions. I think we both knew from this point on, we would always call ourselves, “besties for the restie."

We helped each other through our toughest classes.

Looking back, I'm sure we both don't know how we would've made it through Ms.Fahrman's Pre-AP Chemistry class without each other. I'm also certain that we still can't quite understand how we made A's in pre-calc. Quite frankly, I do have to give you all the props for teaching me how to write my final observation paper for Porter's class. However, on the other hand, you would have to give me all the props for always doing our sociology projects. I could never thank you enough for for our endless study sessions.

You always helped me with my “boy problems."

I can't remember how many times I asked you for relationship advice. You were always there for me when I asked you the stupidest questions about boys. Whether I was having a mental breakdown or when I needed to vent, you were always there for me. I think we've come to the conclusion that all boys have cooties, and I should probably stay away from them.

We traveled to Costa Rica together.


We went to Costa Rica on a language immersion experience. You helped me with killing bugs and keeping my phone charged. Most importantly, you helped me find one of my favorite animals: a sloth. Not only did you help me find it, but you recorded it moving around in a tree when I was too short to see it. It honestly seems pretty simple, but moments like these are what best friends are for.

Laughing until we cried.


During the movie Endgame when I said they should've just pushed the “floaty creepy guy" down as a sacrifice, you said: “That's actually a good idea." Then we started laughing until we were in tears. We always knew how to crack each other up. You always knew how to make me laugh until I cried (especially during our political discussions), and you still do.

Frenemies forever?

Harry Thomas. You have betrayed me. You got into your dream school and I couldn't be prouder of you. However, your dream school is the TOP rival of my school. You are going to Virginia Tech and I am going to Virginia. What are we going to do?

Besties for the restie!

It's okay, I forgive you. I think we can both look past our rivalry and continue being besties for the restie. Thank you so much for all the laughs throughout high-school. Thank you for always helping me in and outside of our classes. I cannot wait to see all of the accomplishments you achieve in your life. I'll miss you so much in the fall, but let's enjoy our summer break while it's here. I love you Harry, and thank you for always being there for me. You are the best human. We will always be besties for the restie.

Oh and one more thing ...

GO HOOS!!!!!!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
