Laughs

My closest friend, Gabrielle Djomo, moved to Katy last year. She would have been a part of my English class had she not moved this year, which makes a little upset because this would have been the first class we shared after five years of never sharing a class together. Gabby and I haven’t gotten a lot of time to see each other even though we text almost every day, but because of COVID-19 we have gotten time to facetime and talk a lot more which is a pro for me in this current situation.

One Sunday night during quarantine, Gabby and I decided to watch After. This movie was based on the Wattpad book, we had both briefly read the book before the movie came out, and it was… bad. Gabby and I tend to watch really bad films just to laugh about the plot or the acting. When we began watching After we would laugh at the least funny parts of the movie because of the way the main guy would get into an unnecessary fight, or at how bad his British accent was. After finishing that movie, we began this movie called Be Somebody, we became frustrated because we spent an hour and twenty-six minutes waiting for a kiss that never happened. It’s hard to explain what makes this so funny. Gabby and I have this instant connection and we share many inside jokes, therefore talking to each other could make us burst out laughing for no apparent reason.

Talking to Gabby during this tough time is extremely helpful because she is someone I can tell anything to. What everyone needs right now is a person that you can count on to make you laugh, and I am extremely grateful to have that person.
