      And this is my best friend.

      We’ve been friends since

      kindergarten.

      Our last names both start with

      the letter F

      (so we’re always next to each

      other alphabetically).

      We have the

      same birthday almost.

      We like the same desserts.

      opposite stuff that still

      goes good together.
