As long as I was being myself

I remember the 3rd grade... I wasn't the most popular person, i had my friends, but oh boy did i have my enemies. I was probably the most out-going girl in the grade, i talked a lot, maybe too much; Lets just say i tried too hard to impress the "popular" group everyone loved. I would assimilate everything i saw the popular group do, to become more like them. The main girl was named Rorie, she was lionized everywhere she went, treated like a queen already at such a young age. Rorie was perfect, all the guys liked her, she was athletic, beautiful, and very Meticulous.

It was near the end of the year, when i began to realize, popularity wasn't the most important thing, it was just to be who you are. So i stuck with my friends, talked as load as i wanted, make the lamest jokes, be as awkward as my heart desired etc... as long as i was being myself. My dissension was that she and i cant be friends but... Then i get an unexpected phone call soon, and its Rorie, i was in shock, we talked a while, and got to know each other, turns out shes really down to earth... and so now shes my best friend, either i visit her, or she visits me once a year.

My eyes tightly close, as tear drops drop fall on his broad, strong shoulder

Today was finally the day I get to see my dad, so I had to make it special for him, everything had to be perfect! I was jumping with joy all month, especially when it was a hour away, and Alexis and I were finishing the giant "welcome" poster for dad, with his favorite color (red). Nothing could be amiss, everything had to be the best, no flaws.
Finally the time came to pick dad up from the airport, I had never been so happy in my life, I was exited, jumping for joy, emotional, and such an affable manner, because I miss my dad, its been too long. It was a interminable wait, standing there, in the freezing cold airport with goosebumps pervading my arms. I surmised dads flight had gotten canceled... again; although I decided to wait some more time, side by side with Marlaina and Alexis (my sisters). Ten more minutes in that airport a grimice crossed my face as... "DAD!!!" Alexis yells, I quickly turn my heard, to see my dad walking towards us with a giant smile from ear to ear. I could smell his bitter sweat, powerful Colon from a mile away. I run as fast as I can, along with Alexis, through my arms out, and jump, reaching for dad, he catches me and grasps on tight, my eyes are tightly closed, as tears fall onto his broad, Strong shoulder. Then I knew... this a a moment I will never forget.
