Get the Cop-speak mug.She is the bestest friend in the whole wide world!! No one had her name on this it was only "Sienna" so I decided to make one for her! I don't know what I would do without her and my other best friend (Peyton). I keep forgetting that we're not friends no more but oh well. They are still my "bestfriends" in my heart whether they like it or not. Sieana is a kind girl and she is very shy. She tends to hide her emotions and use her humor to cover them up. Even though she doesn't know it, she is very beautiful. You will never meet someone like and will regret it if you lose her. She is very funny and weird and does anything for her friends if she thinks it's best...
