I can still remember when I met my best friend．She had just moved into the neighborhood and her grandmother brought her down to　 36　 me．I hid behind my motherland she hid behind her grandmother，　 37 to look at each other．Soon we lost the 38　 and started playing with each other．

In the 7th grade，I first lost touch with her．She was　 39　 family problems and I deserted her to be with the because they knew she had　 40　 　people．None of my new friends liked her as much as I did because they knew she had　 41　 ．However，every summer we 42　 always sit at each other’s house and watch soap operas，and talk about all the boys we liked．

It was last year when I noticed the problem．I guess I was 43 devoted in high school to 44 　she needed someone there for her．Anyway，she made a new best friend and so did I．Then 1 didn’t know why，45　 she started cutting herself!

Yesterday she came to me and said：“I never knew what a best friend was 　50　 you were the only person that would stop me cutting．I　 51　 you so much，and you didn’t even know you were　 52　 me．”
