I liked the way you described friendship its like you took something that aready had a set meaning and gave it to others to look at in an entirly new and diffrent light. Also the bit about the contract and then saying what the contract would mean to the person your friends with really caught my attention. Usually people assioate these things with there friends but they never come out and actucally say it. Or so many times these things go unheeded and this contract you have written about is broken even before the other knows about it.
-Good job + keep writing
