TS said that everyone has a changing circle offriends. However, no matter how frequently we renew our phone books, some namesalways remain. These names remind us of the good times we spent together withour friends. Though we may not see them every  day, they will always stayin our hearts.

Tom was often called "Big Head" at schoolbecause of his extraordinarily large head. He was one of my close friends atprimary school. But since graduation, we have been studying in different citiesand haven't seen each other for a long time.

Several days ago, I received an e-mail saying that myformer classmates from primary school were holding a party to get together andchat about past memories. I was so excited because [ would get to see Tom again.What would he look like now? Would we still feel as close to each other as wehad done back then? I was a little frightened about what I would find.

When I arrived at the party, I did manage to recognizeTom. However, he was much taller than he had been before. What's more, his headwas no longer big.

"Hi, Buddy. Do you recognize me?" Tom walkedtowards me.

"Of course. How could I ever forget our ' BigHead' ," I said jokingly, "But where has your big head gone?"

"Haha, maybe it didn't keep up with the steps oftime and stayed in the past," Tom patted his own head and answered with alaugh.

All my misgivings suddenly disappeared. Irealized that time had changed us outwardly, but our friendship hadn't changedat all. I chatted happily with Tom about our shared experiences in primaryschool.

Then I looked around the small room and saw differentfaces, both familiar and unfamiliar, but none of them the faces of strangers.The whole party was filled with a warm atmosphere. Everyone was lost in thesweet memories of childhood. They forgot all their present-day stresses andpressures.

"Hey, what are you thinking about? Come and getsome pizza!" A call from a friend woke me up from my thoughts. I hurriedtowards the table. "Wait! That biggest piece is mine!"
