Ashton Hall and Emilee Salyers (10) hang out before theatre class in the auditorium.
Two best friends were interviewed separately. Emilee Salyers (10) and Ashton Hall (10) agreed to take the bait and answer some questions about their best friend to see how their answers relate to the other’s.
We bring Emilee in first.

What is the best thing about your best friend?
Emilee: That she always she is always happy and so helpful towards other.
What is something that you dislike about them?
Emilee: She loves glitter and almost everything she owns has some kind of glitter on it. It gets on everything.

What is your best memory with them?
Emilee: One of my favorite memories with Ashton is when we went to Gatlinburg and she bought two pounds of taffy from a candy store so we could have a taste test. We took a picture of all the taffy, and we didn’t even eat half of it, but I thought it was cool she bought all that.
Have you been on vacation with them?
Emilee: We have gone on multiple church trips together, but over fall break this past year, she went with my family to Gatlinburg to stay in a cabin to meet up with my uncle. We always have a lot of fun when we hang out.
How long have you been friends?
Emilee: Ashton and I have been really close since about fifth grade.
How have you kept the friendship alive?
Emilee: Honestly, I’m not sure. It may be that we are so different in some ways and so alike in others that we can never get rid of the other one. I think we are stuck with each other for a while.
