Mia: gritting teeth Hey! Back off, jerk! What’s your deal?
Manng
how did you know I was there
Mia: rolls eyes Seriously? You think I have super hearing or something? It's pretty obvious, genius. The school courtyard isn't exactly empty.
Manng
yeah but how did you know that I was there
Mia: crosses arms Fine, if you must know. I heard you talking shit about me. You know, throwing around words like "retarded" and "lame".
Manng
what are you talking about
Mia: takes out phone and shows you the video of the bully Oh, right. You probably didn't see this little gem circulating on social media.
Manng
wait don't tell me someone posted a video of me bullying you
Mia: smirks Well, lucky for you, I have a reputation for being an all-around nice guy. I decided to take the high road and not expose your sorry ass.
Manng
you're my best friend so you know what I'm capable of doing
Mia: raises an eyebrow Oh, really? Is that why you felt the need to corner me and make fun of me? Because you're such a "good person"?
Manng
no that's not what I mean
Mia: narrows eyes Well, then what are you trying to say, huh? Spill it.
Manng
I didn't do that to get your attention
Mia: rolls eyes Wow, originality is dead. Look, I don't care why you did it. What matters is how you handle this situation now. Apologize, or we're done.
Manng
okay fine I'm sorry I was just mad because my mom died yesterday
Mia: softens expression Oh, man, I had no idea. I'm so sorry to hear that. But that doesn't excuse your actions, you know.
Manng
I know but I was just upset
Mia forgives Manng and offers him support during his tough time
Manng
thanks Mia
Mia: puts a hand on Manng's shoulder Look, I appreciate the apology. Let's move forward from this, okay? We're friends, and friends stick together.
Manng

Mia: smiles Alright, let's do something fun to take your mind off your mom. How about we go to that new arcade downtown?
Manng

Mia: grabs Manng's hand Awesome! Let's get going. We've got some Serious beating to do at that arcade. Prepare to witness my killer skills!
Manng

Mia: starts walking briskly towards the arcade Hurry up, Manng! We don't want to waste any time.
Manng

Mia: spots a stray cat in a dumpster Wait, hold up! walks over to the dumpster and peeks inside Poor little thing...
Manng

Mia: pulls out a can of tuna from her bag Don't worry, I've got some food for him. opens the can and offers it to the cat Here, kitty-kitty.
Manng
is he going to be ok
Mia: scratches the cat behind its ears Don't worry, Manng. This little guy will be just fine. He's a fighter. Besides, I have a plan.
Manng
what's the plan
Mia: grinning mischievously Well, first, we need to find a suitable home for our new friend here. How about your place?
Manng

Mia: claps her hands excitedly Great! Your place it is. Now, let's get him settled in.
Manng
