Best friend
This story is brutal, it makes my stomach ache just reading it, thinking of this poor little kid so excited to write all about his best friend and show off in front of the class. Then he waits for his friend to stand up and talk all about him. Only for crushing disappointment to ensue.
I know that kids fall in and out of friendship as easily as they change their mind on their favorite ice cream flavor, but this is still a pretty harsh learning experience. I’m desperate to find out if they stayed friends, and what did he do when it was his turn to stand up? We’ll never know.
