Sahabatku
Aku punya banyak teman di sekolahku, tapi Dinda adalah sahabatku sejak SMP.
Kami tidak belajar di kelas yang sama, tetapi kami bertemu di sekolah setiap hari saat istirahat dan
sepulang sekolah.
Saya pertama kali bertemu dengannya di masa orientasi sekolah menengah pertama dan kami
sudah berteman sejak itu.

Dinda tampan. Dia tidak terlalu tinggi, dengan kulit putih dan rambut hitam bergelombang yang
sering dia kuncir kuda. Di sekolah, dia memakai seragam.
Selain itu, dia suka memakai jeans, kaos kasual, dan sepatu kets. T-shirt favoritnya adalah yang
berwarna cerah seperti pink, hijau muda dan oranye.

Dia selalu ceria. Dia juga sangat ramah dan suka berteman dengan siapa saja.
Seperti banyak gadis lain, dia juga banyak bicara. Dia suka berbagi pikiran dan perasaannya kepada
teman-temannya.
Saya pikir itu sebabnya banyak teman menikmati kebersamaannya. Namun, terkadang dia bisa
sedikit kekanak-kanakan.
Misalnya, ketika dia tidak mendapatkan apa yang dia inginkan, dia bertindak seperti anak kecil dan
menginjak kakinya.
Dinda suka menggambar, terutama karakter manga. Dia selalu membawa buku sketsa kemanapun
dia pergi. Dia akan meluangkan waktu untuk menggambar karakter manga dari imajinasinya.
Sketsanya luar biasa bagus.
Aku sangat senang memiliki sahabat seperti Dinda.
