Frieda wasn't really his best friend at first. Warning... this might be long.

She was the girlfriend of Larry Wade, a senior jock that Virgil tutored. She didn't think much of him at first, until he tried to stop local racist bully Martin "Biz Money B" Scaponi harrassing her. By being a wise guy. Needless to say, he got beat up, bad. Larry intervened, and decided the coming gang meet - the Big Bang - would be an ideal moment for Virgil to "deal" with his problem. And if you've seen the first episode of Static Shock, you know what happened there.

So Virgil, the comic book geek, decides to become a hero. One of his first enemies is a Bang Baby gang leader who's harrassing their local (Muslim) arcade store owner. Static has him on the ropes, until he recognizes this Hotstreak is actually Biz Money B. He crumbles in fear, and gets the shite beaten out of him. Wounded in pride and body, he makes his way to Frieda's home, where she unmasks him and learns his identity. In their next big adventure, their friendship is tested as a local terorrist wants to incite a riot between the blacks (that's Virgil) and the jews (that's Frieda). Louder than a Bomb - Static just doesn't get better than that. Sadly, not reprinted.

Frieda's still Larry's girlfriend, though she likes Static too. He starts dating Daisy Watkins, another nerd. She's occasionally jealous of Frieda and his apparent friendzone status with one of the more popular girls in school. The relationship eventually dissolves (with no hard feelings) and Virgil starts dating Madison (who was never given a last name). Madison is considerably higher in the "food chain", which makes Frieda jealous. So jealous she even flaps out to Daisy that she likes her because she never considered her a threat...

Towards the end of his run, Virgil came back to Daisy; after he was incorporated into the DC Universe, he was shown to be with Madison until she broke up with him after he went missing for a year (because he was captured in the Dark Side Club). In the miniseries Milestone Forever, which ignores DC Universe and instead gives the Milestone characters a fitting retirement story, Static is shown to have retired his superhero career after finishing high school, and became a medical resident like his father. Some 10 years after graduating, he met with Frieda again, and they married. Got two darling kids, Sadie and Larry, who also had super powers.
