Primary school best friends reunite online after many years apart

• @somto_Ihezue shared his experience of losing contact with his best friend in primary school on a social media platform.

• Somto was 7 years old when his mother took him to a new school, where he was immediately admitted and began his class.

Heartwarming moment as two primary school closest friends reconnect on Twitter after they separated on a bad note many years ago.

One of the buddies, @somto_Ihezue, came to the platform to describe how he and his best friend had lost touch in primary school.

Somto said that he was 7 years old when his mother drove him to a new school, where he was quickly admitted and began attending classes.

He noticed that his friend, Danny, had snuck into the new school to meet him, and he pretended not to recognize him.

Somto stated that his friend left heartbroken and that they haven’t seen one other since.

Fortunately, his friend came across the tweet and revealed that he had also been looking.

The friend also expressed gratitude for their shared time together as they pondered on what had occurred that day.

Check out their conversation below.

“When I was 7, my mum took me to a new school without prior notice, and I was admitted on the spot. My best friend from my old school snuck into the new school to find me, and I pretended like I didn’t know him. He left heartbroken, and I never saw him again. Daniel, I’m so sorry.

I think about this almost every day.

Not exactly sure why I did this. Can’t tell if it was the non-confrontational me, or the introverted me, or the sad me.

I remember we used to go sliding down a massive erosion site in our neighborhood, and our white uniforms would turn super brown with dirt. It was the most dangerous thing, but we did it anyway

Funny that the erosion site was one of the major reasons my mom removed me from the old school, and it was Daniel who had introduced me to it. She wanted a prim and proper school that didn’t let kids slide down muddy gullies.

In another life, we’d have run away together, and drink fanta everyday, and slide down all the steep erosion gullies we want. And we’d be primless, unkempt, and infinite,” Somto wrote.

His friend who came about the tweet reacted with …

“Somto ihezue!!
My brother had woken me up to check my Facebook DM and it was a pleasant surprise.
This was the best friendship of my entire life. I have been searching for you on Facebook all these years.
I remember this day. What gave me the mind?.
You were just confused my G”
