This blog is inspired by speaking to Sasha.
Back when I was fourteen for around three years, my area was full of people I'd hang around with. Some more than others. The three I held in the highest regard, and loved their company, was by far Blain, Sasha, and Jo. The four of us would spend most of our time together. Circumstances change, and you lose contact, but you never forget the days when you had absolutely no care in the World.
Whether it was the case, as I remember it, Blain was the one who had a crush on Jo but would never tell her, Jo was my best friend at the time, and Sasha was the quietest but the sweetest. And I, was probably the boring sensible one. Infact, not much changes.
Every day, consisted of school, home, having Jo walk round to my house. She and I would then make our way to Sasha's house, who lived a few doors down from Jo anyway, so why she never went there first is beyond me, but that's just the way it was.
We'd either sit in Jo's garden, and play ridiculous games, which as playful and child-like as they were, I miss now. Or we'd come to my house, sit in the living room or in my bedroom.
I'm so not going to publicise the drunken McDonalds episode, or name names, because Jo would be totally embarrased if I named her, and told everyone on here that she stormed into mcdonalds, drunk, covered in mud and gravel from where she'd fallen over, and begged Blain for a kiss. I'll keep it to myself.
Randomly, me and Jo would spend some evenings watching Eastenders. How exciting. It's a shame the four of us don't have any pictures together.
I've had hundreds of friends come and go since those days, people I see more of than them three. But I still hold Blain, Sasha and Jo as the closest friends I have ever had, who I could happily trust with my life. You think at the time, that these are the people you'll be friends with your entire life. People move on, get new friends, you slowly lose contact, and you get on with your life. You look back with great fondness and you keep the memories alive every time you look back over your life. Despite all the fun i've had since, with new friends, the places i've been and the things i've learnt from them that have shaped the way I am, I will always look back over my life, and the three years I spent with those three, will be the ones I miss the most. |
