Alex's POV.

'You're my best friend ever' 'You're my best friend ever'. This kept ringing in my head as I walked home that afternoon and even till the next day.
Maya had been my best friend for the past 12 years. The first day I saw her is still fresh in my mind like it happened yesterday.
Her family had just moved into the  neighborhood and my mom told me to be nice to her because we were almost the same age(just two months difference.
