April 25, 2022
After meeting in kindergarten and growing their friendship over the years of elementary school, freshmen Maddox Walker and Reagan Swartz are ready to take on high school with each other.
“We have been friends since kindergarten but good friends since the end of third grade,” Swartz said. “So we have been friends for about nine years.”
The two find themselves out and about, but Walker prefers their more casual hangouts.
“We like to go to Walmart and shop or just walk around,” Walker said. “But my favorite thing to do with Reagan is when we watch movies and share music with each other.”
Throughout their friendship, Walker and Swartz have made many memories including buying pets together and making social media for them.
“I think our friendship stands out because one time we went out and bought pet lizards together,” Swartz said. “ One time we also made YouTube channels for our new pets, and no one else can say they’ve done that.”
Walker likes many things about Swartz but finds that her intellect and humor are his favorite.
“It’s hard to pick what I love most about Reagan, but I love how smart she is. She is very good at math and biology,” Walker said. “She is also the funniest person I know and has a really good taste in music.”
Even though Walker and Swartz are best friends, they have had some conflicts, but they always make up in the end.
“We had this rule in fourth grade where if you had to leave then you could make everyone play whatever game you wanted for the last five minutes. My neighbor and I didn’t like the game Maddox chose so we stopped talking for a week,” Swartz said. “Then, we told him he could come over and we would do whatever he wanted for the whole day
Walker thinks that his friendship is different from others because of their shared hobbies and how they do them together.
“What stands out most about my friendship with Reagan is that we live to watch movies and listen to music,” Walker said. “We like to watch or listen to them and spend hours talking about it. I don’t think many others do that.”
