Hi! I am Aria. When I was in the elementary level at St Mary’s Primary School in Sydney, I had a friend named Sophia Laurence. She was the most intelligent girl in the class

We had a deep friendship and that had continued for many consecutive years before she and her family moved in Queensland leaving New South Wales. Sophia had to leave the school as her father, a policeman, got transferred from North Sydney to Queensland. In fact, it was painful for me when I got split with Sophia. She was my best friend in the class and even sometimes I visited her home while she came to mine on the weekends. Besides, both the families turned familiar and a cordial relation grew among the family members. So, the departure was sad for both the families

The pleasures are mine to answer the question as the answer will take me back in my primary schooling days the past when I was a kid of five or six years. In the first day after admission at St Mary’s Primary School, I was introduced with Sophia. I could remember the day clearly. I was early for the class and entered at the school premise with my parents. I entered into the empty class and took a seat in the first row. I was in the thought that I have to wait for long until the class begins. After few moments, a little girl of my age entered and I invited her to take the seat by me. We got introduced. You won’t believe that she lived a block near from me! After attending the class, Sophia and I went to our house without our parents on that day

We have been friends for seven years until her departure to Queensland. We both started the school from the primary level and Sophia left the school when we were in the seventh grade. We passed the days with great enjoyment and mostly when it was the exam, I used to be at her home to have group study. Besides, when she could not go to school or I missed the classes, we used to get the lessons prepared for each other. Will you believe that we did not have any quarrel for a single day? It was really amazing for us and some of the teachers would call us as a pair of jewel for our intelligence, attention on studies and the cordial attitudes with each other

Sophia and I used to do a lot of things together and watching cartoons was a hobby for us. I cannot remember that we have missed any episodes of Tom and Jerry, and when it was the time for the show, I used to phone her or she made the call to make me aware about that. Besides, we together got admitted for a painting class and most importantly we participated in different sports events in the school. Moreover, skipping was my hobby and Sophia used to be the audience of my skipping after the school or at my home. I also liked to read comic books with her and we bought different comic books in partnership. But when she left Sydney, she presented me all the books she had on her share. It was difficult for me to adjust at the school when she left. But I have maintained a connection with her and also have a close interaction with her. Usually, we meet once in a month and share the major event over the telephone
