"Aw, come on! I'm a fun girl." She knew that she would never take the place of a boy bestie, but she was the next best thing to that. No more sad Adi. She had to try and find a way to cheer him up, but what to do?
"Hey, have you ever swam in the lake with the giant squid?" It was something that she had just found out about, and she really wanted to be able to swim with Henry when it warmed up some. AJ hoped that her random question would get his mid off Angel and Benny.
Adi shook his head and his grin widened somewhat.
"I don't argue to be honest.'' Because he was usually polite and cheerful all the time meant he just listened to what the other person had to say and then he just thought it over.
"Again, it's no problem. I'm doing it just because you asked so nicely.''
The third year's real smile came back then. Yes, he knew that.
"I know you are. Okay, fine. You can be my best friend,'' he said. He nudged her on the shoulder and added,
''Thanks for trying to make me feel better.'' AJ was a good friend and it was amazing that they'd become so close in just a few months.
"Nope. I never did but that would be awesome! Maybe we should try that sometime.'' Adi knew AJ was a tomboy and she would totally be up for that.
"Anything else you got in mind that you want to try?''
