10th grade
As I sat there in English class, I stared at the girl next to me. She was my so called "best friend". I stared at her long, silky hair, and wished she was mine. But she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. After class, she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before and handed them to her. She said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanted to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.
11th grade
The phone rang. On the other end, it was her. She was in tears, mumbling on and on about how her love had broke her heart. She asked me to come over because she didn't want to be alone, so I did. As I sat next to her on the sofa, I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine. After 2 hours, one Drew Barrymore movie, and three bags of chips, she decided to go to sleep. She looked at me, said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.
Senior year
The day before prom she walked to my locker. My date is sick" she said; he's not going to go well, I didn't have a date, and in 7th grade, we made a promise that if neither of us had dates, we would go together just as "best friends". So we did. Prom night, after everything was over, I was standing at her front door step. I stared at her as she smiled at me and stared at me with her crystal eyes. I want her to be mine, but she isn't think of me like that, and I know it. Then she said "I had the best time, thanks!" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.
Graduation Day
A day passed, then a week, then a month. Before I could blink, it was graduation day. I watched as her perfect body floated like an angel up on stage to get her diploma. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. Before everyone went home, she came to me in her smock and hat, and cried as I hugged her. Then she lifted her head from my shoulder and said, "you're my best friend, thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.A Few Years Later Now I sit in the pews of the church. That girl is getting married now. I watched her say "I do" and drive off to her new life, married to another man. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn't see me like that, and I knew it. But before she drove away, she came to me and said "you came!". She said "thanks" and kissed me on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.
Funeral
Years passed, I looked down at the coffin of a girl who used to be my "best friend". At the service, they read a diary entry she had wrote in her high school years. This is what it read: I stare at him wishing he was mine, but he doesn't notice me like that, and I know it. I want to tell him, I want him to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love him but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why. I wish he would tell me he loved me! `I wish I did too...` I thought to my self, and I cried.

Describe how a friend changed you life in a story(DESCRIPTIVE essayXD)
A friend is a person who will stretch out their hand to help us when we fall.A friend will not mock or disdain us whenever we fail.Indeed,friends are people nobody can do without.Of course,I have a good,loyal friend too.She was the one who changed me much and instilled me with a sense of responsibility with her righteous and kind of character.
I once isolated myself from rest of the world after terrifying accident which killed my parents in front of my eyes.After the traumatic ordeal,I was forced to be sent to an orphanage as no relatives wanted to take me in because my parents were not rich and had no assets to leave me.Once i thought i could start a new life at this place.But everything was a nightmare once again as there a group of older boys who took an instant dislike to me and planned to make life miserable for me.The other orphans kept away from me to avoid trouble.
Just when i was suffering from a great depression,,Jolin,a caring angel,come to me.She was one of the orphans too.But she was one of the few who did not bully or look down to me.Nor did she alienate me.Everytime,whenever there were games or activities held by the guardian,she would always join me,or partner me so that I could be part of the orphanage.Instead of feeling being isolated and neglected,I was slowly healed by her kindness.
Jolin had always given me much comfort.She would always be at my side when I was sad.I remembered there was a day where all the orphans accused me for breaking a vase.Again,Jolin was the one who proved to the guardian that it was not my fault.Eventually,both of us developed a special bond.Jolin was a very popular girl in the orphanage.She was the apple of the guardians.Other orphans admired her.Because of her friendship with me,I was slowly accepted.
The time passes swiftly as I concentrated fully on my studies.I overcame every huddle academically with ease and finally I obtained a scholarship for tertiary education.I knew that i had to make something of myself through education.
After a few years of sweat,toil and tears overseas.I am niow an engineer.Most people say that friendship is the foundation of love,and love is the friendship that catches fire.Jolin is now my lovely wife who had bare me three lovely children.I have become a successful and tough man who is ready to shoulder the responsibility of looking after my three sons and face the society which is full of challenges and hardship.And all there I have my wife,Jolin,to Thank You.
