mistakes were made

I was Five years old when I met simion I was a mess crying on the carpet not wanting my mom to leave me at school then this boy came up and said hi im simion you want to play and from that moment on we were inseparable. When I first met Si I was amazed by his skin. I automatically thought it was beautiful. Simion did not. Simion developed vitiligo when he was 3 Vitiligo it's a condition in which the skin loses its pigment in different parts of the body. We only lived two blocks away from each other so when we were around eight we started riding our bikes to meet each other to our conjoining streets before school. Waiting for our smiling reunion. Our friendship has never faltered if I needed to just go to store or be accompanied by to an awkward school dance he was always there We use to steal our parents phones and talk for hours if we didn't see each other that day. We would make stories and act them out. We would make Our own worlds to live in.When I was eight I began having hearing problems I soon lost all my hearing by 10 all my hearing was gone. Simon was there through it all and he learned sign language with me for two years that's how we communicated until I turned twelve and my mom saved enough money to get me a hearing aid that worked but it still gives me headaches from time to time so i don't wear it all the time. Me and Si still use sign when we don't want anyone to know what we're talking about. When me si where nine years old we decided that we needed our own place and so his dad and my mom had built us a tree house it was small but we made it work. This is where we planned our lives told secrets and just grew as people. This is where Simion told me he was Bi I soon came out as gay this is were we shared our first kiss we were twelve and we wanted to try it out but decided fairly quickly that we could only be friends. But became each other's wing man from then on out. Si was my closest and only friend up until we turned Thirteen. we meet this very nice boy named Israel. He had curly blonde hair, bright blue eyes that I wish were mine and freckles that scattered across his face like constellations in the sky. We were a pretty diverse group of friends Me i was half Japanese half european with black shaggy hair and dull green eyes and deaf. Then there was Simon. He had straight brown hair, green eyes hispanic with vitiligo. Then there was Israel very pale and we found out his family was very religious. Israel soon became our friend he was very accepting of us and he doesn't see anything wrong with it he says it's only his family is religious. That he was more focused on living life to the fullest not what happens after or who made it. We slowly grew away from him when he was forced into church camp his sophomore year he came back different. It's not like he ignored us but he definitely was hesitant to talk to us. He then became more popular and became class president and soon he engulfed himself in his studies. Were still polight in the halls. He Started to hang out with Mr.popular. Si and I hated that guy. He's just so arrogant and nosy and always wants to have someone's name in their mouths. But it seemed to make Israel happy so we left it alone. Beck is what they called him he transferred here in middle school. He had auburn hair dark brown eyes and was quarterback on the football team. He acts like a play boy. He could have any girl he wanted. But he never stays in a relationship for more than a month. He's dated all the cheerleaders at least once he's on again off again always with Penny Lakeworth Me and Si Spent all summer getting ready for our senior year. We declared this our year and we're gonna make the best of it.But sometimes I wonder what I would've done without Simion. Like if those few moments were different if he never came up to me if we never knew we lived two blocks away from each other what would it be like. Would either one of us have friends or would we pass by each other like total strangers, but I think thats whats so weird about life every little thing we do can have a huge impact .Just a few seconds or words spoken can change someone's life and that's what simions done to me he changed my world within a few seconds 8 words made a friendship that lasted until now. Now my few seconds, my few words changed our relationship for ever
