"So he just kissed you?"
"Harper, he just kissed me."
"Sam Alexander, kissed you."
"Yes."
"So what's the problem?"
"DO I LIKE HIM IS THE THING!"
"Ava, you & I both know that you have feelings for him. But no one is going to force you to do anything."
"But ... like, he likes me. How does he like me?"
"Besides the fact you're amazing, you should also ask him. I mean I would do it because I'm your bestfriend, but A. You're being a big girl sweetie."
"But I still need you Harpy."
"I'm always here, but this is your life, your feelings. You have to do what you feel is best. Seeing where it takes you doesn't necessarily mean you two will stop being friends. Being friends is the beauty of it."
"You're right, I just don't think I'm ready for the full on relationship. He'd be my first real boyfriend."
"Ha! Right, because anything in middle school doesn't count at all."
"You damn right!"
"But just talk to him A, with a clear mind & see where his intentions are."
"No one told me growing up was gonna be difficult."
