In California, it was Janet. Then we moved to Nebraska for a year, and it was Karen. Then It was Badger Village, WI, for about a year and I didn't really have a best friend. When we moved to Madison, my best friend in grade school was Heidi, but after grade school, even though we went to the same huge jr. high and high school, we never had another class together and moved in different circles. In jr. high, I mostly hung out with Julie and Christine, two very different girls. Then in the summer between my sophomore and junior years I met Sue, and we were besties from then on.
