A
For most young people, getting your first car opens up a new world of freedom and allows you to go wherever you want, whenever you want. Getting a car did all this for me, and it also brought my best friend and me closer. But then it tore (撕裂) us apart.
My best friend lived three minute walk from my home. Since her birthday was in late summer, seven months behind mine, I almost became her driver when I turned 16 in December.
And so I picked her up for school and took her home. We made ice cream trip, went shopping and to the movies—all in my car. I would drive to her house just to sit on her bed, read magazines and have a good laugh. I went to her house so often that she gave me a key to her house.
A week after I got my license, she was with me when I had my first accident. She was there and comforted me and we kept it a secret, since I didnt want people to know. From then on, through thick and thin, it was just me, my car and my best friend.endprint
High school is a time of change, but I couldnt understand for a long time how we became so distant (疏遠) after being so close. My friend waited three months after her birthday to get her dream car: a green 2004 Beetle. Since then the passenger seat of my car became empty. Our car trips became less frequent until I didnt even drive down her street.
Its funny how a car can change a relationship so much. I had wanted her to get a car, but once she did, I regretted it. I wanted her friendship back, even if it couldnt be the same.
