Best Friend n.
Your closest ally. The person you laugh with, cry with, shop with, and rely on. When you list your friends, your BFF's name is always first.
Before Halley and Avalon became frenemies, they were best friends. In fact, they were so inseparable, everyone called them Halvalon—until a few major disagreements about boys, fashion, and popularity came between them.
We're hoping Halvalon can patch things up—but in the mean time, we set out to find two friends who's BFF bond is completely frenemy-proof.
Based on Kelly's answers to our Top 10 Friendship Q&A, and the cute leggo-my-Eggo picture she submitted, we agree that she and Caitlen are 100% authentic BFFs! Learn more about Kelly and Caitlen below!
