Can you have a messenger account without getting facebook?

So, my mom won’t let me get Facebook. But I know that’s one of the only ways to get messenger…so I’m not really sure what else there is. I need messenger to text the friend I met at school. As some of you may know he is a Samsung user and I’m an iPhone user. So one of the only ways to contact him is messenger, but I can’t do that if I can’t get messenger. So I’d like to know if anyone else knows a way to login into messenger. Replies are deeply appreciated. Thank you so much! (Also can you still contact someone using messenger with Facebook?)
