The Light Sparkling In Her Eyes

I was surprised by her beauty, brightness and grace in the first sight of my best friend. We met in senior high school, and had studied together for there years.
When I was a freshman in high school, it was the first time I've been so far away from home alone. I had to board at the school though I did not want to do so at all. And I thought my grandparents never really understood me while my parents worked in another city. I was lack of security. What's more, I started being tired of studying and coundn't always focus on what the teachers teach in class. Perhaps owing to this, my grades slipped. The weight of everything pressed down until I cound barely breathe.Those days lingered like wet shadows, and even the skies in my memory seemed perpetual pray. By some grace, her light found me in the dark.
In the second year, we became deskmates. As time went by, we gradually became good friends. Then, I found that beautiful appearance was the most inconspicuous of her. She was interested in painting, and could play the ukulele. And she was a really really really excellent dancer. With the steps that appeared random yet pulsed with an underlying rhythm, she liked wildfire dancing in the wind.

She always held a positive attitude towards live, which inspired me to face the life actively. Gradually, I emerged from my gloom and began focusing on studies. When I improved, I’d excitedly share my progress with her. When I retrogressed, I’d pour out my sadness and then share my reflection. But whather the results were good or not, she’d always say, "You’re doing great! You’re so hardworking. That's great!"
Her words were a steady warmth that carried me through high school. Once a time, I had a headache and passed a note that read "Peipei, I have a headache" to her. Then, after a while, a note passed back to me, which was the following picture.

She would like to teach me how to paint. At first, I don't think I can paint well. She just celebrated every attempts I made. Then, I began to enjoy painting and finally was good at it.
Her sincerity and warmth never cease to move me. Ours is a friendship meant to last forever.
