Friendship from the start

 It was around the beginning of July, and Oscar's birthday party had come around. Each year we celebrate it at his house, and I find it funny that no matter what age he turns, a grand, colorful bouncy castle always seems to greet me as I turn the corner. He had a bright, white smile that spread ear to ear that I could see a mile away and a new height that is past my average 5'5. Oscar always seemed to find a way to get me to smile without words and understood me in a way no other friend could. his polite manners always outshone mine and I believe our common shyness is what allowed us to become such great friends and led us to the same, enjoyable routine we had. Oscar was about 125 pounds of soccer player that I had met four years ago. His short hair and shy smile always kept him under the radar of our opposing team before a game and kept them on their toes throughout it. I admired his way to slip and slide between players to score, but I knew all his tricks. He couldnt get past me, and I couldn't get past him. That's what made our equal friendship last and prosper.
