Byes

     Ok as you may have known we have just lost one of our good long time friends the Berrys.  Here I am to talk about thier departure and we are going to miss them dearly.  It all started out in the third grade, There I was finish my math work for Mr. London, who was the teacher with the big black jeans and gave third graders 8th grade math... As I was saying, I was finishing my work and then in comes this white kid. I was excited to actualy have another white person in my class! HAHA! I know kinda weird, but thats how it was. Right when he walked in I went straight up to him and introduced myself, yea, back then I was kind of a square... But from that moment on we were best friends. I was his first friend and best friend when he first came to this isalnd, an we have been through alot. From third grade one we played around and normal kid stuff, and finished Mr London's horrible math sessions.
    In fourth Grade we had Paige Rahman, who was a vey kind teacher. Chris and I always tried to make these Castles in her class and shoot them apart, ahh those were good times... We aslo had to do these reading checks, He and I would try to compete to see who would read to most and get the higher score, although I have forgotten who won in the end. haha. Chris would always amaze Mrs. Rahman with hi knowledge on cars and WWII. even at such a young age. That year went on without a hitch.
    In fifth grade we had Gene Chigaris, She was probly the most fun teacher I had in grade school. She took us on Hikes every month, Chris and I were usualy partners in hiking down to Forbidden or some other adventerous place, and it was alot of fun, memories I wont forget. Once I tried to show him how strong the wind was out on Forbidden and I threw a stick off a cliff, as it floated up by the force of the wind it came screamin back at us and almost hit us on its way back.Those were good times... good times
    In Sixth grade, we had two teachers. Ms. Pitts and another teacher whos name I cannot recall at the moment, but I remember them both being some what fun. In the sense that alot of my other best friends would laugh for alot of the time. One instant would be when Chris would start laughing then it spread to my other best friend Richard, then Kevin, Jimmy, and Finally Tim Robago. The teacher would go "WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING?!" and Tim would try to explain why he was laughin by trying to explain himself as he was laughing "Im laughing because of Jimmy's laugh and him laughing at Kevin's laugh, and Kevin laughed because of  Richard, and Richard laughed because of Chris who just laughed out of the blue."
Those were hilarious moments. Just Crazy.
    From Seventh through Freshman year was alll fun and games, Having movie parties at my house, going go karting, paintball wars, TRAVELING TO PERU during the summer! Being Roomies. JUST AWESOME! I will never forget those great times we had. I remember being Peru and Chris being the "White boy" he is doesnt know how to fold clothes... so I had to go through ALL HIS CLOTHES and fold every one of them neatly into his suitcase... yuck.. but atleast it was clean...
   Though Sadly in Sophomore year, Chris Berry the white boy moved to Southern, I hear he has a good rep over there so atleast he was good off there, thank god. But even though we were in seperate schools we still had parties and had fun.
   Then comes the dreaded Junior year when he moves to Virginia... I am going to miss him alot.. him and his.. Whiteness HAHA!
  With his last days here we Partied hard for two days and on his last BBQ party day we stayed out till 11 oclock just strollin through saipan and having a blast! Along with Amber, Nathan, Anna Rose, Stacy, and last but not least his awesome brother Bo!.
We after 11:30 we went home and waited till 3 which was when his flight was going to leave, we planned on going down and sayin our very last goodbyes..
as time came around it was three in the morning I was almost dead tired, but I pulled through and we picked up Amber from her house, and drove down to the Airport where we said our Very last goodbyes and just talked and joked around till it was time for them to board.. Mrs. Berry was on the verge of tears as she saw all of there, her words were that "we were such Dedicated friends, and she is going to miss all of us". Gave everyone hugs and then watched them as they walked up through the doors to Secruity. Thats the last I have seen of them, and I hope next Summer to go and visit them in VIRGINIA :)!
Peace
