It's not about deciding your the best friend. It's about being a good friend and it happens naturally. No one owes you anything but you have to keep being a good friend. A good friend is as good as a best friend.
What a good friend shouldn't do ?
If a good friend or best friend tells you a ridiculous secret, don't under any circumstances, no matter how much time has past, no matter how silly the secret seems, don't tell it to anyone else, ever.
I learned this the hard way...it's usually a test.
Oh ... thats true ๐
Depends on context but get along, be supportive, be thoughtful and do it altruisltically.
