Joshua and Samara were in the habit of working out. Joshua was one of those totally vain guys who was obsessed with having a great abs. The fact that he was a person who easily gained weight also ensured that he stuck to some sort of fitness regime. He was also blessed with naturally good looks and a smile to go with it. Therefore it was no surprise that he hit on and was hit on by girls- and once a probably gay Chinese guy- on a regular basis. Samara too was on the chubby side and had to regularly work out. Their shared passion for the perfect figures was a foundation stone of their friendship too. Their feelings were never romantic though. At least on Samara’s part. Joshua’s feelings toward Samara could not be quite so simply explained. He was afraid to voice these feelings for two reasons. One he was the kind of guy who didn’t want to feel vulnerable or at anyone’s disposal. Second he was sure Samara would not reciprocate the feeling. When Kyle who was also one Samara’s best friends fell for her and asked her out, Samara discouraged any further advances giving the ‘being friends was much easier and less complicated and that Kyle was too valuable a friend to lose to the possibility of a relationship’ as a reason.
