Tami Hsiao

Tami gets the shaft.  A lot.
She's probably the nicest person I know.  She's way cool; she's friends with practically everybody.  She hardly ever puts anybody down.  She even didn't believe all of Preston's shyte about Dana!  But some people (read: people named Lizzie Owens) are total dicks to her.  Like, all of the time.  And they (she) has absolutely no good reason to be.
Me and Tami met in 5th grade.  We went to (sort of...long story) junior high together, and were pretty good friends.  There were only like 16 kids, boys and girls included, in our little clique.  And we've more or less stayed friends ever since, as we all went to the same high school.
As you may or may not know by know, all of my "friends" that I've known for so long, save a few, are jackers. They're backstabbers, they're selfish, they treat each other like crap, etc etc.  This has only been in the last couple years, though.  Tami realized what was happening early on, though.
That's why she sort of bailed on us.
Tami has always been sort of a communications center/shoulder to lean on.  She knows a lot of what's going on with a lot of people because she's so down and easy to talk to.  This unfortunately put her in many situations that she probably would have been better off avoiding.  Thus she made enemies.  Most of these enemies were girls, though, and we all know how dishonest and sneaky girls are about any type of relationship.  I guess in about ninth grade, Tami realized that a lot of her so called friends were really not her friends at all, and the new people she had met were a lot better to her than we were.  So she started to get out of the boat.
It was really hard for her.  A lot of girls, with a one who's name rhymes with Lizzie Owens leading the way, gave her some huge guilt trip every time she hung out with "those other people" instead of us.  I thought she was doing the right thing, though, and tried to help her stand up against Lizzie's greed.  I don't know how influential I was. Anyway, now Tami is everybody's friend still, but mostly hangs out with the other crew.


She's the dopest of them all!  Or something like that, anyway.   Right.
