Best friends have a special relationship, to say the very least. New best friends, in particular, are often wide open with each other. Even if you only just met, you just feel the click of your friendship right away. You're so excited that you met your soulmate, you just drop all your walls – and besides, it immediately feels like you've known each other forever, anyway. Your friendship won't lessen as your new friendship gets older, but the things that seemed weird in the beginning will soon be old hat. It won't be strange that you happily share clothes, pluck each other's stray hairs, or speak your own language.
