MY BEST FRIEND

I have a lot of friends in my school, but Dinda has been my best friend
since junior high school. We dont study in the same class, but we meet at
school everyday during recess and after school. I first met her at junior
high school orientation and weve been friends ever since.
Dinda is good-looking. Shes not too tall, with fair skin and wavy black
hair that she often puts in a ponytail. At school, she wears the uniform.
Other than that, she likes to wear jeans, casual t-shirts and sneakers. Her
favourite t-shirts are those in bright colours like pink, light green and
orange. She is always cheerful. She is also very friendly and likes to make
friends with anyone. Like many other girls, she is also talkative. She likes
to share her thoughts and feelings to her friends. I think thats why many
friends enjoy her company. However, she can be a bit childish sometimes.
For example, when she doesnt get what she wants, she acts like a child and
stamps her feet.
Dinda loves drawing, especially the manga characters. She always has
a sketchbook with her everywhere she goes. She would spend some time
to draw the manga characters from her imagination. Her sketches are
amazingly great. Im really glad to have a best friend like Dinda.
