2nd Grade friendships

The memory I'm thinking of would taste like a sourpatch kid, sour at first but good at the same time. The memory takes place in 2nd grade, 7 years ago. It was a warm summer day and it was my 2nd week in a new town, new state, new house, new everything pretty much. I was at summer camp before 2nd grade started and I ended up being bullied by 2 boys that looked to be going into 1st grade maybe. A girl named Sophia was walking by and saw them and came over to us, she yelled at them and told them to leave me alone and they did. We hugged, me being the cringy 7 year old I was said "we're gonna be best friends forever". Then at orentation for the new students to meet a person in their class and their teacher, low and behold the person to show me around was Sophia, we had our parents meet and we also started hanging out most weekends and we did become Best Friends. Now, 7 years later we and still close and still talk alot we just don't see eachother often.
