Times Are Changing

I am now a college student and the story I will share is about a friend from 11 years ago. She was my first very best friend; good in speaking English and almost everything. Who would have thought that in that early age, she knows a lot? She always corrects my mistakes and I hate it but we are still friends. Back then, I remember that I have not talked to other kids until I met her alone, like me. The memories were not clear; it was blurred but still it makes me happy when I remember. After a year when we met, she went to a faraway place and study abroad. It makes me sad but after she left, I have many friends who replace her. She came back to arrange her school papers but I do not have the chance to see her nor talk to her. Then, I transfer school. The first day of school in sixth grade, there I met her again, same face. We talk on the first day, give our greetings but that is all. The whole year had passed but our friendship seems a little bit far. It was like she was bullied by the other kids and I never protect her. We graduated in Elementary, same school. High School had passed and no connection. I almost forgot her until I remember her again. I want to know "how is she?" but I am afraid to ask...
