Friends aren't always forever but memories are. Kate invited Marilyn to a sleepover in her house and they decided to go sleep in a tent near to a forest when something very unexpected happened, they found a little bird hurt. Marilyn didn't really cared about it, she said the animal was going to die but Kate decided to take care of it and the bird survived. After the amazing sleepover they had, Marilyn and Kate decided to invite other friends to a sleepover. There where six girls, one of the girls didn't went so they chose another one. The night wasn't as they planned because the last girl they chose was acting really annoying. At the end of the night, they noticed it wasn't worth to ruin their night for one girl so they spent a really fun time. A couple weeks later, Marilyn and Flannery started ignoring Kate for no reason. They kept doing that for three weeks until their teacher assigned certain people to write poetry, including Kate and Marilyn. Kate wrote a poem about friends and Marilyn noticed that what she was doing was wrong and started talking with her again.
Kate started thinking that friends weren't worth because of Marilyn. "Who needs friends when you have a milk shake?" Kate thought things like this constantly. Just because of the simple fact that she remembered Marilyn when she was drinking a milk shake shows us that she really missed her. The point of having a nice day and a nice milk shake is sharing it with someone. Often times I think about something I didn't really mean or say things that are not true because of how I feel. Even though we always have feelings, some of them are not good and we need to think better before we do things that we don't mean.
"She had friends who didn't act like friends and sisters who don't act like sisters." Sometimes we think like Kate did, like if our life is a disaster and that it is upside down but it's not really like that. We need to be thankful for having family and friends because some people don't have that privilege. Family is family and no one can changer that, family had seen you grew and they will always be there for you, no matter what. When you feel like Kate, you just need to think that some people don't even have family and it is a privilege to have one.
People sometimes don't appreciate what they have and just regret about the "boring" life they have. We always need to consider the privileges we have before regretting for our life. We always need to appreciate and take care of our friend also, they are the ones who help us when we are sad. Our friends are the only ones who really know what happens in school and they are very special for each of us. We need to take care of them. Once I heard that friends are like plants, if you don't water them with joy and faithfulness, they will die. Always remember that humans are fragile and have a lot of feelings, just like you.
