Emerald and I knew of each other through Sydney as they were neighbors growing up. We started talking one day during high school marching band camp and have not stopped since. Although we haven't lived in the same area since 2019, our friendship continues to flourish every day. I truly don't know what I would do without her!

Again, Alyssa and I knew of each other through Sydney. Once I became friends with Emerald, we started hanging out more and more and I realized how funny Alyssa is. Some of my favorite memories include the 4 of us being staying up too late and laughing our asses off.

Sydney and I met when I first moved to Smithville. She was one of the first kids I met in my homeroom and we instantly became friends. From there, we shared many memories together, such as talking about boys (ew cooties), going on family vacations together, posing for the same picture every year for dances, and tearing up the soccer field side by side.

The quieter one of Josh's sister, Maddy and I seemed to get along right away. We have bonded through similar tastes in fashion, music, and overall aura, and I am so excited to gain a sister.

With Abby's bubbly and lighthearted personality, she always puts a smile on my space. I am grateful to have someone who can make me laugh so easily in my life!
