Friends Forever? by StudySync1  When Andres Vergara and Rafael Marquez were growing up in Colombia, they seemed destined to be best friends for life. They were more like twins than friends; they played baseball together, spent time hiking together, and even walked to school together every day for twelve years. They would often challenge each other to do their best, trying to outperform one another in sports and academics.2  They seemed inseparable until the last day of high school. They even planned to attend a local college together, but plans changed.3  “Hey, Andres, can I talk to you for a minute?” Rafael asked as they prepared to graduate from school. “My aunt and uncle have invited me to attend a college they work at in the United States, and I’ve decided to take them up on the offer.”4  Andres was shocked at the news but understood the opportunity was too great to pass up. He wished Rafael the best, and they kept in touch for a few months. But, as days turned to weeks and weeks turned to months, both friends became so wrapped up in their own lives that they began to forget about a friendship forged by time.5  In nearly the blink of an eye, the ensuing four years of college passed, and both Andres and Rafael were preparing to graduate from college. Andres was busy one day, preparing to move out of his home. All he could think of was his new job at a local television station and the excitement he felt. He would finally fulfill a dream of being a news reporter. Visions of digging up hard news stories and helping others danced in his head. Suddenly, something caught his eye amid a collection of papers on his desk. He found a story he had collaborated on with Rafael. Thoughts of the new job disappeared as his mind drifted toward his friend thousands of miles away and the times they had spent together.6  “I wonder how he’s managing in the States,” Andres said aloud, doleful that so much time had passed and his lifelong friendship had grown dormant.7  At that moment, Andres decided that enough time had passed. He grabbed his cell phone, clinging to hope that Rafael’s number he had sent through an email three years ago had not changed. His fingers moved fast and furiously as he dialed the ancient number and listened as the phone rang once, then twice, then a third time.8  Suddenly, the ringing was interrupted, followed by a familiar voice saying, “Andres, is that you?”9  Andres beamed, the years of friendship flooding back. “I figured it was about time I check in with you to see how things are going in the States. You know, I was thinking of making my way up to see you sometime in the fall. We have so many great memories from growing up and it’s about time we made some new ones.”10  Moments later, they were reliving memories of days gone by and making plans for a future where they would make sure never to let so much time pass without talking.2(a)This question has two parts.
