The Girl With The Laugh

It was one of those days where I felt completely random and hyper, a day where I would do most anything that popped into my head. Thankfully that is when The Girl With The Laugh happened to be walking past the bus I was on. I saw her coming and decided I would talk to this stranger, be silly, and make her laugh. Of course just as other times I'm randomly drawn to people, The With The Laugh and I became friends almost instantaneously.

The Girl With The Laugh was as silly as me and so we decided to play a trick on one of my friends. I told her to go run up to him, pretend she knew him, and give him a hug. Of course she did it, I knew this was a fun friend I wanted. Luckily we talked a bit more and discovered a future friendship was totally possible as we were both attending the same college the next year! For the remainder of high school we would occasionally chat, run into each other at special college days, etc.

Then it was time for college, and The Girl With The Laugh was the only friend I had going in. One by one we expanded our friendship group, like my roommate "Pickle" and The Boy With The Shoes. We would just ride around listening to good music, visit thrift stores, or anything else we could come up with. We had "Tie Day Friday"and were often known to be trying to solve the mystery of Henry, the OBU bell tower inhabitant.

Eventually I started meeting other people and branched out to other groups where I wasn't around The Girl With The Laugh as often. We somewhat grew apart, but remained friends. Years later we are still friends and rekindled our long ago bond in a drunken giggle-fest at our friend's wedding.

The Girl With The Laugh is just one of those friends that you have so much in common with that you can't help but be friends. Eventually I hope that we live in the same city again so we can make tons of new memories like watching episodes of "Teen Mom" or pretend we know complete strangers. Plus I can't help but keep a smile on my face when I hear the very distinguishable sound of joy that comes from The Girl With The Laugh.
