Who is the friend who knows you best, and how did the two of you get so close?

B Natural answer

The friend who knows me best is probably Daniel. We became close at university because we have a lot in common: we both like movies, quiet places, and long walks after class. He was also the first person who made me feel comfortable talking about real problems, because he listens without judging. He is the one I call when something important happens, and we still talk almost every day, even though we live in different cities now. That habit kept us close.
