Something like Fate

Author’s Note: This piece of writing is to prove that I can use quotes and text/quote evidence from a novel.

Personally my best friend means the world to me. We have been through so much together it feels like she is practically my sister. Although we have our ups and downs, we always get through them. In the book Something like Fate, Lani and Erin are best friends. There were best friends all their life. But when Erin leaves with her church friends for the summer will that stay the same?

Lani is shy, has low self esteem, and cares about the environment. But she is also the jealous type. When Lani and Erin were young they were put in a life or death situation. They thought that they would be best friends forever and be able to just be truthful with each other. But once they got to high school everything changed. Lani became very jealous about Erin. Erin was the type of girl in high school that was a guy magnet, smart, and had all the looks that guys looked for. No matter what Erin always had a boyfriend, and when her next one became the guy the Lani liked things changed.

Even though Lani is an intelligent person she is very shy. During lunch Lani doesn’t talk much and doesn’t usually eat because she is afraid of what people are going to say about her. Another example is during class Lani never raises her hand to share anything. The reason why she does this is because she is afraid that her answer is wrong. “Erin, you know me I never raise my hand or share anything because I’m shy and afraid of what people will think.” This quote was used during math class when students were asked to share what they got for their warm up problem.

When Erin left for the summer, she left behind her best friend and her boyfriend. If I were Erin I think I would get a little concerned. Erin didn’t come back before school started again in fall. By that time Lani and Jason had discovered their feelings for each other. One day after school Jason and Lani were making signs for the lunch room. “Hey can you make another perfect circle?” Said Lani “ Of course you are my special girl and you know every time I draw a circle its perfect just like you.” Said Jason. Sense Lani has a low self esteem she likes when guys say cute flirty things to her. I think the reason why Lani likes them saying this to her is because it makes her feel good. I know when people tell me that they think I’m pretty and that they like the clothes I feel pretty good about myself.

Friendships are so precious they provide us with people that let us go to anything with. Before you go and take your friends boy friend think about this. What’s going to last longer, a relationship or a friendship?
