Jessica and Ara



I met both of them in 8th grade, the year I moved to Austin. Our similar tastes in music were what brought Jessica and I together. Ara and I had the same Science class.

So from then until now, 6 years in total, I'd like to think we all grew up and grew old together. They were on the newspaper with me, Ara as my Co-Editor-in-Chief and Jessica as an amazing photographer, and this mutual affiliation brought us all a lot of good memories and good laughs. But that was high school.

Now, two years after graduation, I can feel that we're drifting apart. But that happens, right? Even to the best of friends, though I don't think that term really defines my relationship with either of them. They are two of the strongest links I have to my past, of high school, a time I really, really cherish, as cliche as that may sound. I hope we always stay friends and I hope I can always recall the memories that made high school so great, which more often than not, included both of these ladies.
