I'm very fortunate to have a best friend, and the story of how we became friends people seem to find amusing. Freshman year of high school, we had these lessons taught to us by the seniors about how to properly conduct ourselves at the high school. Each class got its own senior leader, and when mine walked in, I was floored.
After years of seeing only lanky, scrawny, greasy, slimy, squeaky adolescents, I beheld a glorious man. He was tall, had hair on... everything, and the hair on his head was deep brown and wavy. He had these piercing blue eyes and was built like an Adonis. Lean, muscular, sturdy, and the shorts he was wearing accented his legs and... other things, beautifully. It was one of those moments where the light from heaven shines down upon someone and the angels harmonize in the background, you know?
Anyway, after a couple weeks I changed my schedule and walked into my new lunch shift and there he was! Anxious to creep on him (depressing, I know,lol), I grabbed a seat where I could most easily gaze longingly. The kid I sat next to I struck up small talk with and he introduced himself by first and last name. We soon became friends. The next week, our next lesson comes and in walks Mr. Perfect. As he left, our teacher told us we should thank him for taking up his time to do this, and formally introduced him to us for the first time by his first and last name, and.... he and my new friend had the same last name. They were brothers!!!
So, long story short: four years down the line we're best friends. He's my partner in crime, the Butch Cassidy to my Sundance Kid, the Starsky to my Hutch, the Simon to my Garfunkel, the Calvin to my Hobbes and so on and so forth. I told him the story of how we became amigos, which is basically, "I wanted to creep on your hot brother and unknowingly had to befriend you to do it when I had no clue of your relation," when I came out to him last year (wow, time flies...) and he got a big kick out of it, so I was wondering how you all met your best friends.
P.S. Sorry this was so long. lol (and sorry that I made it longer with the P.S.)
