My 'Pen-Pal'

Today I went to the Bullring Shopping centre to meet up with my 'pen-pal', Sophia, who lives like 3 hours away. Here's the back story of how we made friends:

One day, 5 years ago (I was in year 7), I open up my old useless hotmail account and find an email from my uncle. For once, it wasn't one of those spam mails that clogged my inbox. Instead, he'd forwarded an email to me from a girl called Sophia asking him for help on a maths question. Fortunately, I actually like maths, so was nice enough to help out and sent an answer and method. And since then, we started emailing each other and found out we're in the same year and since we had both just joined secondary school, we had plenty to talk about and plenty of problems to share so we became really close. Also, we were able to meet up for the first time 2 years later because Sophia is my cousin's best-friend's older sister. And we've met again the year after and then today.

It was so lovely to see Sophia again and we chatted loads. It's actually quite amazing how we've managed to stay such good friends for 5 years :D 


I envy those Ukrainian cheekbones haha
