Aila was a moderately normal girl, she had friends like everyone else and fit in well. Though she didn't really like the attention she sometimes got from men, although her friend Zue was different he treat her just like he would anyone else and she appreciated that fact. After they entered 8th grade they started to really become good friends and hand out a lot both in school and out. One day they were leaving school and were making plans to go grab lunch together, Aila said "Hey Zue, wanna grab some lunch? I'm starving" and then Zue said "Sure thing but please this time dont put all of the bill on me, I pay for me and you pay for you" She nodded in agreement at what he had said. They started walking to a local place to buy some sandwiches and they were just talking about random stuff with the occasional friendly mocking from Zue. "Hey Aila I think I've had my fill so I'm gonna be heading home to study" then she responded "Ugh your always studying you need to loosen up and live a little more" he responded with "I just care about my future, I cant become a marine biologist without studying you know, you should follow my lead and study also your going to need to smarten up a little if you want to live on a decent wage and not live in a shack" she started looking slightly irritated and responded with "Your such a buzzkill sometime you need to live in the moment sometimes not plan for like 20 years down the line" he sighed as he shook his head "Well its just how I am, I'm going home now cya around Aila" he grabbed his bag and started walking out as Aila waved goodbye. She finished her sandwich and then grabbed her stuff and walked out. She was on her way home as she was thinking "Zue really needs to stop studying sometimes... He is already at the top of the class how much more does he need? Will he not be satisfied until he is the smartest in the state? The world? Haha I'm just kidding I know its because he is very passionate about studying and getting the job he wants and I should support him in his dream!" She went home a couple minutes later and decided to take a nap because she was tired.
