Jeff Fishkin :
nobody likes him at first i felt sorry for him because nobady wants to sit next to him Mrs Ebbel said it out loud in front of the whole class it was like he wasnt even there its bad enough when a kid says something like that but a teacher it must have hurt his feelings

Carla Davis :
no he just smiled he may have been smiling on the outside but do you think he really was smiling in the inside

Jeff Fishkin :
i dont know i guess not i guess that why i tried to be friends with him i told him i like sitting next to him but then he said give me a dollar or ill spill on you

Carla Davis :
what did you do

Jeff Fishkin :
i gave him a dollar i didnt want him to spill on me but the later he said ill give a dollar to be my friend so i took it it was my dolar so does that mean i have to be his friend evan thought i just broke evan do you think friendship is color often i dont know i mean i know what it is but i cant explain it is it something you can buy and sell can you go to the store and get quart of milk dozen eggs and a friend

Carla Davis :
does that mean i dont have to be friend even i wont tell you what to do all i can do is help you think for yourself
