Why Can't We Be Friends

Today I got an e-mail from a girl in South Africa named Zandria. The story of how I met her goes back to 6th grade when I went on a trip to Washington D.C. on a program with an organization called People To People that was created by President Eisenhower (one of my heroes) I was put into a group of kids, their names ( if I remember) and their states (if I remember again) are as follows: Keegan (MA), Grace (NV), Kaitlyn (AZ), Jeremy (TN), Malia (HI *still in touch with her*), Joshua (SC or NC), a boy and girl from MA who were schoolmates of Keegan *I will put in their names if I ever remember them*, Briana (NY), one other girl I think who I have forgotten the name of, Shawn (or possibly Sean) (VT *he was not in my group but while we were out there we were basically inseperable, sadly though I didn't get his e-mail*), and last but not least Zandria (South Africa). I think that really the first time I talked to her was on the bus we traveled on to get around in D.C. if I remember right she was sick and no one was sitting next to her so I went over and sat with her. (As nice as this makes me look I really didn't want to sit next to her, just to be honest) We got to talking and became friends. She soon went to sleep. (and nearly or did sleep on my shoulder O_o) I used to get e-mails from here at least once a week, but lately e-mails have become a rare occurance. At one point months ago she hadn't replied in months, this got me worried about her. However when she did reply I was overjoyed, this taught me not to take things for granted, and especially today when I saw I had an e-mail from her I was glad. This is the last line of the e-mail from her: Well i hope to hear from u soooooon......................................................just rememba, u will always be my fwend!!! I sent my reply after reading her e-mail and I hope she responds soon, I hope that she too will always be my...fwend...
