My Friend From 2 1/2 Years Ago

Around 2 and a half years ago I met a friend named Monica. She was very nice, but after the school year ended she spent one year in China and now lives in Singapore. For Summer vacation her mom and her decided to come to the U.S.A for around a month. Since I hadn't seen her in so long, the moment I saw her (at a restaurant where we ate together) I hugged her super hard. I had missed her, but now she is leaving in around 5 days. So I saw her at a nice Chinese restaurant, and we ate and then played at a park, it was about a three hour experience. Then around 2 or 3 days later we had a sleepover, since she was living with her mom's friend. It was super fun, we played a bunch of Mario Kart and other video games. On the day of the sleepover which was a Friday, we went to a park and had lots and lots of fun. At the park, we went on the tire swing, and we did other things. Then, we had a swinging competition. My favorite part of that day was racing up the hill and then rolling down the hill and seeing who could finish the obstacle first. After a few more swing races, we went back to her temporary house. The funny thing was that we actually managed to stay up until around 12:30 A.M. I didn't get a lot of sleep but it was worth it. We did a bunch of pillow fights and everything. On Saturday morning, I played a bit more with her, and then I went home. Then one or two weeks later, we played together again at the same park that we went to on the day of the sleepover. On that day, we did more obstacle courses and we were timing each other, and my sister was there too. We also did the fun hill rolling obstacle, and I gave both of them a 6 second head start but I still managed to win or get 2nd place! Yesterday, which was a Wednesday we saw each other again and ate dinner together. The dinner was incredibly good, and her mother was such a good cook. After dinner we played like an hour of video games, and then I sadly had to go home. It was really fun playing with her.
