She lived on the fourth floor in a two-room place with her mother,her stepfather,her two brothers and her sister.When we got to the room she shared with her sister,she took out a big case of Barbies—which was my next surprise.I would have thought she’d outgrown(长大而放弃)them.I had never played with them.But we sat on the floor of a walk-in cupboard laughing as we made up crazy stories about the Barbies.That’s when we found out that we both wanted to be writers when we were older.We both had wild imaginations.
We had a great day that afternoon.Our jaws(下巴)ached from smiling so much.She showed me her outfits(外套),which had mostly come from a designer clothing store(时装设计店)down the block.The woman who owned it used her as a model sometimes for her newspaper ads and gave her clothes in exchange.
Paris had the whole neighborhood attracted.The bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines,the movie theater gave her free passes and the pizza place let her have free pieces.Soon I was included in her magic world.We slept over at each other’s houses,spent every free moment together.My dark hair grew out and I learned to love being tall.
Paris,my first real friend since childhood,helped me get through the tough teenage years and taught me an amazing and very surprising thing about making friends:your “worst enemy” can turn out to be your best friend.
