Dear Sarah,

Hey girl. Let me start off by saying you were my best friend. You were probably my only best friend. It's been six years since I've seen you. I can't tell you how much I miss our days together. And also, I guess since we're older now (You've probably forgotten all about me) I've realised that I don't need to have a best friend anymore. But still, it's good to remember, right?

Do you remember my first day at school? I was terrified. I knew how to speak three words in English, I had only been living in Sydney for two weeks, and I knew a grand total of zero people in our class. I remember being ushered in by the teacher, and placed down on the floor with everyone else; it was show and tell day. I sorta sat there, feeling like the biggest awkward turtle you ever met. And you moved next to me, and drew a smiley face on my hand.

The rest of the primary years were amazing. We did everything together, and I couldn't imagine being best friends with anyone else. I could remember that day I found out I had to move. We cried for an hour together, sitting in your room. It was a horrible thought, since Mosman was an hour away from West Ryde! I remember even after I moved, we still visited each other during the holidays. We still shared all our secrets and stories and toys and god knows what. But you moved again when I was 10, and I lost contact with you. Those were some of the saddest times I've ever had. It was then when I started OC, and I was shunned and lonerated by everyone in my class for the next year and a bit. It was back then when I missed you so horribly.

I wish I could see you again. I still picture you as that 10 year old little girl, with your massive pigtails and your cheeky grin, and I miss you still. Heck, I even miss your sister. (Remember we used to do the equivalent of bitching when you were young about her back in those days?)

I don't know if you even remember that awkward clumsy Chinese girl in the middle of an all Caucasian class, but it doesn't matter. I know that you'll be glad to know that now, I don't have a best friend. Because I don't need one anymore. I have Scrandoms. And they're amazing to the point of being nonsensically amazing.

So thank you for all the brilliant times we've had together.

All my love,

Lia~
