The first time I met my best friends in elementary was when I was the new kid. I really didn’t know anybody in that school and I was basically a newcomer.
The first person that talked to me was my friend Erick. He's a decent person because he’s dependable though he sometimes talks smack about people, but who doesn’t do that? His personality is a mix of humor and smarts because he will always make jokes and finish his homework.
The first time I met Erick we had a common interest in anime and games. When Erick first talked to me I was surprised because I was the new kid in school and I thought no one would talk to me. But I thought wrong! I was truly happy when he talked to me. One day I was in class when Erick saw me drawing anime characters. He complimented them saying, “oh what a good drawing.” In that time I was not yet a weeaboo (someone who really likes anime and buys all anime-related things) but I said “I watched, ummm, what’s the name? Oh, it’s called Angel Beats and Pokemon.”
Then we started talking about different animes like Fairy Tail, Dragon Ball Z, and Naruto. The anime we mostly talked about was Fairy Tails because it has beautiful animation, great plots and great characters.
Then some of Erick’s friends joined our conversation; their names were Kevin, Andy, and Julio. They all wanted me to join their group. The group consisted of about 7 people and we all played games like tag, zombie tag, yu-gi-oh! And other games in elementary.
The first time I talked with my friend kevin, he was nice. He was always helpful and caring about our circle of friends, such as asking us if we wanted food. Recently my friend kevin asked me if I wanted to go to the movies with him and of course I said yes I would like to go to the movies.
Before we went, we played some games at the arcade such as air hockey and tekken 7. Air hockey it was a lot of fun because I beat him in tekken 7 but he beat me in air hockey. Then we waited 40 minutes to go inside the room were the movies going to start then. We watched Avengers: Endgame and it was a lot of fun and it was exciting hearing cheering and laughing from audience members throughout the movie.
Another friend of mine that I met in elementary school is my good friend andy. Andy is the kind of guy who makes weird jokes and comments when we talk in our discord (discord is an app that allows you to talk to multiple people in the same room and it also allows you to share videos). “Hey guys have you guys seen goblin slayer” (goblin slayer is an anime with graphic images. Alright back with the story.) I said “why would I watch that kind of thing, tell me Andy ” and Andy says “why not Estelito it’s a great anime ” and I say “no it’s not, it’s to graphic and ecchi. One of my favorite moment with my friends is when we played tag in elementary and zombie tag. it’s one of my happiest moments in my life because i was a part of something and i felt good being a part of something.
Another friend of mine that I met in elementary is my good friend Julio. Julio is a person who loves first person shooter/Fps and fantasy games like Cod Black ops, Paladins, Cod WW11, and finally Apex legends. One other thing about my friend Julio is that he also makes weird jokes and some of them are really bad. One other good memory I had with my friends was when it was halloween because i got to hang out with my friend. i had so much fun getting candy and spending time with him. The thing that stood out for me was when i forgot where we were going to meet, but then 20 minutes later i finally remembered where it was at. everybody was disappointed at first because i forgot where it was at (i suck at remembering things).
The next day at school, the teacher told us to draw a picture an image like the cal poly horse. me and my friends sat together and decided to think of what to draw and my friends chose different ones from me. i chose the Cal Poly mustang image and i was getting to work and made the same image as the logo and the teacher liked it so much because he went to Cal Poly i think he also posted it in his wall.
Then it was lunch then i ran outside and waited for my friends to get outside and i would ethier play basketball or tag/zombie tag with my friends. it was a lot of fun trying to tag someone, and I used to be into basketball. I was actually a decent basketball player and a great passer/ defender at the same time. This was before I new anime and video games.
I recently interviewed one of my friends kevin and i asked his some questions like “how did we become friends and he said:
“we became friends in 6th grade”
then i asked him “how did you become my friend”
he said “ you were the new kid so i tried to be nice and friendly so i started to talk to you and that's how we became good friends.”
Another question i asked him “was what has my friendship meant to you” and he said “ it meant alot because umm really you know the only best friend i really had was umm eddie( erick ) umm you know we stopped taking so basically you overtook him and we started talking more and playing more and we understood each otheR REALLY well and i feel like your my brother you feel me BROTHER FROM ANOTHER MOTHER ” and i said i feel you”
the final question i asked him was “would you be my friend all over again” and he said hell yeah what type of question is that” then i laughed because he said that.
In conclusion having friends in elementary is the best thing that happened to me and if i grow up forgetting about my friends i will always keep a picture of us together in my phone or in my house.
