A wiki page dedicated to my bffe (happy birthday beach)

first impression- the prologue
I think I saw you for the first time in 6th grade, when you picked up a random sock and went "who put that here?" and chucked it across the school field. I knew from that point that you had very high friend potential, but my poor friend choice aka Shriya convinced me otherwise. My teacher introduced us once too over something I don't remember and I think that was the first time we actually talked to each other, otherwise I would see you around school walking and talking with your friend, and sometimes even around our neighborhood when I was playing outside with the little kids. Either way, I was too antisocial to go up to you and say hi and I wasn't about to go betray my only friend Shriya by being friendly with you when she explicitly told me not to (toxic af now that I look back on it). Thankfully, we had another opportunity at becoming friends in seventh, one which I didn't waste this time.

seventh grade - the exposition
How did we become friends again? I think it was through Anoushka or something; I only remember being hella impressed by your mockingjay whistle. Seventh grade was truly a whole rollercoaster--from rainbow and fur (I'm making a separate section just for these two) to you getting pooped on by a bird to chasing the samosa cart on olympic day and making funeral cards for each other when we couldn't go to the dance. We even went to dance class together and spent hours practicing moves but eventually giving up and bingeing youtube (that's how we discovered penn masala and 'I Know What You Did Last Summer') or doing something else instead. We'd go over to each other's houses to do homework almost everyday, which would normally end in taking long walks around our neighborhood all the way to school. What we even talked about for so long I have no idea, but they were definitely fun. We'd even stop by the arena and throw berries into the pond, or try having photoshoots when the sky looked photogenic (cue our lopsided arm heart). When we both bonded over Doctor Who, I remember having a whole photoshoot with the "TARDIS shadow" that one of the chimneys conveniently cast. All our sleepovers were always eventful, typically starting with a nail painting session hosted by yours truly to watching Top5 Paranormal videos and freaking out while we waited for our nails to dry. One time, your crazy neighbor was yelling out karate chop noises and your mom went out and pretended to record her with a TV remote to make her go inside. It worked. I could honestly go on and on about all we did, but I guess that's what our memories google doc is for. Seventh grade was my favorite school year solely because of how many memories I have from that year and I couldn't wait till eight grade but then you had to go and move >:((( I think we baked you a doctor who cake for that and forgot to add the frosting (speaking of cake, remember the peppermint one that tasted like soap). In any event, I definitely never would've imagined that we'd become soulmates from our first meeting. Even though she ended up being a beach, I'm grateful to Anoushka for introducing us.

Fur and Rainbow
oH MAn where do I even start. How about where it all first started. I think it was at our first sleepover where we confessed who we liked, going to the length of creating codenames for each of them and freaking out to each other when they payed the slightest amount of attention to us. I'd put the yearbook photo here, but a) that would be a dead giveaway of who we are and b) rainbow would be screwed in future job interviews lmaooo. I honestly can't believe we settled for that; I physically cringe thinking that we actually liked them. As disappointing as our tastes in men were, they undoubtedly brought us closer together, so even if I could hop on the TARDIS and go back in time to smack us for liking them, I wouldn't. Besides, we cringe at ourselves now for liking them anyways. Onto some iconic furbow moments:

- that time when we were standing in line for the pirate ship and rainbow's group came up behind us and one of his friends asked what music u were listening to but then the ride freakiNG CLOSED just when it was our turn to go on it :(((

- seeing rainbow in the bumper cars line

- I almost threw a book at rainbow during lunch once (I don't know the context behind this but I think I was trying to embarrass you)

- when we used to plan our routes so that we would walk by fur's and rainbow's houses on our walks

- when we were at the small park and we saw fur casually walking by and freaked out

- throwing hairspray into rainbows yard

- when I sent a hangouts request to rainbow from your account (has he responded yet?)

- not paying attention in our coding class and looking at our school's ig page to see who rainbow was being shipped with

- stealing a rock from in front of rainbow's house as a "souvenir"

- when we asked fur what color his shoes were after a heated debate during lunch when him and his friends were throwing around a cookie

- when you almost asked fur if he knew where I was because I didn't show up for lunch (social studies project)

- when fur scared me with a "spider" in math but they were just eraser crumbs

- coming up with scenarios involving us and them

this was all I could think of because I'm writing this in ap csp and I don't have many braincells left atm.

Crackhead energy
This title basically sums up seventh grade. I have no doubt that our actions were more than questionable to other people, but they made perfect sense to us (at least they did at the time anyways). From spraying a wasp with glade in an attempt to kill it to putting a banana in the oven to ripen it faster, to tattooing your arm (and having your teacher sneak up on us) and your vocab test (___ is the voice of the poem), we did it all. It was what made seventh grade so iconic, and us so close. We became best friends really quickly, but I'm not too surprised because we're practically soulmates, even having our occasional we-share-the-same-brain moments. I was really sad that we didn't have any classes together, but honestly it might've been for the best because us two having a class together put the school at risk of all hell breaking loose.

BTS
Ah yes. The embarkment of our BTS journey. I remember coming over to your house one day and you were like "omg you have to see this" and showed me the 'Fire' music video (me: "they look like girls"). I think we even tried doing the "lalalalala" part after because it was apparently really hard to do. 'Save Me' came out like a week after you showed me 'Fire' and we were both ??? about the way it ended so abruptly. It wasn't much later that we'd already settled on the 95 liners for our biases and most of our presents to each other from here on out were BTS themed (pls throw the army pillow away). BTS brought us even closer as we sent each other wattpad fanfics to read and even attempted to write our own (never letting you live that down btw). Sometimes I wish we could go back to these days where our biggest concern was whether or not we'd be able to go to a BTS concert and the only thing we were stressed about was being there in time for their comeback. We'd fangirl over all of their live performances and horribly sing and dance along (you got way better tho) to their songs, having our own mini concerts. Our BTS phase lasted well into high school, being one of the things that kept us such close friends.

eighth grade and high school - the rising action
So you moved. And left me all alone and sad but I digress. I remember us making promises to text each other literally everyday and then proceed to not say anything for like weeks at a time lmfao. I remember being hella depressed because you moved so far away (cue BTS) and we wouldn't get to see each other as much and hang out and go on our iconic walks and act like crackheads. But, we'd compensate for all of this during our traditional birthday sleepovers.

Your Outdoor Movie birthday
I think this was the birthday where I smashed a rock on one of the gutters near your house and we both sprinted away. This might have also been the day we discovered 'Gibberish.' We went to watch Star Wars at some outdoor movie theater and you were obsessed with a Korean food truck and we hula-hooped. We also couldn't stop laughing at the lady whose pants were a little too far below the equator. I think I gave you the Wings canvases, but I don't remember. I'm pretty sure we got ramen the day after.

My laser tag birthday
I don't remember what our codenames were, but I remember that we kinda sucked. It was fun though, and they even played Darude- 'Sandstorm' at one point and we both recognized it from that one nigahiga music video. After that you came over to my house for a sleepover, which began our tradition of birthday sleepovers. We stayed up making bracelets for each other, using the bracelet making kit u gave me (I still wear the one you gave me btw but I can't find the pink heart one :'((( so f) and posted 'happy birthday' on my Facebook timeline while sitting right next to me. I think we even read a BTS fanfic later.

Your Train to Busan birthday
This was the birthday we learned the 'Go Go' choreography and watched Train to Busan later at night. I gave you a V themed explosion box that year, and a Wings keychain. The highlight of that birthday was crying over the ending of the movie while your mom came down with the phone so that someone could wish you happy birthday. We also spilled cup noodles everywhere from the jumpscares of the movie. Train to Busan was too much of an emotional rollercoaster for me, so I fell asleep in the middle of the next movie, and you looked over and were like "...bruh." We also went to the mall the next day and got matching "day and night" hoodies.

My Bowling birthday
I actually barely remember what happened here other than the fact that we went bowling and failed at it and I got caked epicly. I believe this was also the sleepover where your stomach rumble became a thing, when I was painting your 'I NEED U' and 'Save Me' nails. You also drew a chibi Jimin on my card that year.

Your Diwali birthday
This was the birthday that we danced to a bunch of kpop songs, trying to copy their choreo, and played a Monsta X song at midnight. We also went to the Diwali festival the day after and watched this op fireworks show and jammed to a bunch of Hindi songs right before it was time to go. We even went on that one teacup ride where we were basically the only big kids on that ride. I remember climbing the bleachers for the best view of the fireworks right before they started. The finale was epic too. Our hearing was all fuzzy after we left the disco floor since we were dancing right by the speakers. The DJ was hella good too, despite being so young.

My Boba birthday
This was the group birthday where we all went and got boba tea and danced to kpop songs near the fountain at the square. We walked around the lake and had a photoshoot, and tried to recreate our lopsided arm heart from the arena. Unfortunately, you couldn't stay for a sleepover that year, but we met up like three other times later on so that was basically our sleepover.

Your Black Mirror birthday
For some reason or the other, I couldn't make it to your actual birthday, so we had to postpone our sleepover to later. We ended up discovering Cinderella 2 and The Little Mermaid 2 on Disney+ that day, and stayed up watching Saiki K. and Black Mirror episodes. We also got abs from laughing so hard at the funniest laughs video, especially from that one lady with the laugh that sounded like she had a whole zoo inside her. This was also when we played fireboy and watergirl together, and got stuck on one level because we sucked. We also tried to put a piece of pasta in our soup because it was so hot and see if it would actually cook. We also walked to T4 and played Uno, and got ice cream and walked around, me losing my ID card sometime during that, only realizing much later when we were having dinner together. I totally forgot about that when we went to the mall and played Dance Dance Revolution in the arcade, and danced to Big Bang and Blackpink.

My Quarantine birthday
We couldn't meet up this year because of corona :((( but you wished me at midnight.

Your Quarantine birthday
I'm writing you a wiki page >:)))

This section took way too much brainpower because I'm Dory and forgot when everything happened. I was literally referencing our chat and my gallery for some kind of order, so I hope I got the chronological order right.

Splash
Splash was honestly something else. From our V and Chim caramel frappuccinos to your hot bodybuilding teacher, to even breaking out into 'Go Go' choreography out of nowhere, it was definitely super eventful. We even wore our matching "day and night" hoodies, and snuck into your chemistry class because I didn't like my class. We even took a class on black holes but ended up drawing random stuff in our notebooks, and took weird snapchat videos in our apoptosis class (why the hell did we even sign up for that class) while trying to not laugh. We tried taking photogenic pictures at the end with a pretty sunset, but didn't know how to pose so they just ended up being really meme pics. We completely ditched our original schedule and went into whoever's class we found more interesting, except for that last class which was so boring that I fell asleep in the middle of it. I don't even remember the name of it; I think it was some business class or something. Other than that, and me being terrified of that massive earthworm, it was hella fun.

Cancun
Cancun was probably the best coincidence that ever befell us. I remember that you'd come over right before a Christmas party at a friend's house and we were discussing what we were going to do over break, and discovered that we were both going to Cancun, our vacation days overlapping, so naturally we had to meet up there. We went to the cenotes where I dared you to jump from the highest diving area, and went to Tulum where we took beach pictures and pictures with that statue of some guy sitting on a bench. From going on that hike where we tried not to laugh at the tour guide's accent and climbing and being too scared to go back down a super high rock temple that I forgot the name of, to eating spaghetti at some restaurant outdoors where I looked dead inside and your brother looked possessed, I don't think anything beat Xplore. Our X-chromosome position will forever remain iconic, as well as swimming in that underwater river with the stalactites and stalagmites. Too much happened that day for me to be able to recount, but I vividly remember the ziplines and the car safari tour thing. I think we even canoed in one of the underground rivers, but we couldn't control the boat and kept crashing into the walls.

We made most of our memories over text after you moved, ranging from my typos (mwahahaha -> mahabharata) to ranting about potato and noodle, to sending each other kpop videos and songs, to trolling Vennu Mallesh and Taher Shah. As much as I'd like to keep listing all our iconic memories, our google doc would be pointless if I did so I'm gonna move onto the meaningful sappy heartfelt stuff (it will be cringe so fasten your seatbelt).

best friend for eternity - the foreshadowing (because our story hasn't ended)
This section was literally why I made the wiki, but I got carried away or something and ended up with everything you just read. What I was trying to say with the sections earlier was that you've been by my side for so long and made so many precious memories with with me and I'm really grateful to you for all of that. I didn't have the slightest idea that we'd become such close friends from our first meeting, and I definitely did not expect us to be friends for as long as we've been, but I couldn't be more thankful that we are. From our identical tastes in music, to the brain that we share, and always being there for me as an awesome and supportive friend, you really make my life worth living. We've done so much together and been through so much together and each experience has only brought us closer together. I honestly feel like you understand me better than anyone. We've shared laughs and cries, even sometimes laughing so hard that we cry or crying and then laughing right after. You're truly a better friend than I ever could've asked for or probably even deserve but I cherish our friendship from the bottom of my heart. I try to reciprocate what an amazing friend you are through materialistic gifts because I don't think I can show it throw words or actions, but they honestly couldn't ever measure up to the gift of the friendship that you've given me. Thanks for being a crackhead with me, thanks for being happy with me, thanks for being sad with me, and thanks for being there for me when I needed it. I'll always try my best to be the amazing friend that you deserve, and I'll always have your back no matter what. I can't wait to see what else the future has in store for us and make more awesome memories. Happy birthday bffe <3
