"That sounds great, Anjanette," Uncle Bruce replied, when Anjanette told him about Tammy and her parents' pet rescue centre. "We'll go over on Saturday and look at the puppies."
"Thanks, Uncle Bruce." Anjanette smiled broadly at the thought of finding her Collie. Her first pet....
"I'm glad you're talking to the other kids at your school a bit more, too," Bruce went on, as he began to open the キッチン cupboards to fix Anjanette an AFTERSCHOOL(アフタースクール) snack. "I know あなた were nervous around them at first."
Anjanette nodded slowly. "They are different here from how they were at my old school. And Tammy seems like a nice girl. But - Uncle Bruce, at lunch today, she asked me what happened to my parents, and I just started crying. Ferdinand had to explain that I wasn't ready to talk about it." She swallowed hard.
Bruce was thoughtful, pausing in front of the open cupboard with a jar of 落花生, ピーナッツ バター in his hand. "What did Tammy do?"
"She apologized for upsetting me," Anjanette remembered. "She didn't ask any もっと見る questions. And - she didn't make fun of me for crying." That was something. Anjanette wouldn't have dared to cry in front of her old schoolmates.
Uncle Bruce came over to Anjanette and put a steadying hand on her shoulder. "It sounds to me like あなた can trust her. Anjanette, I want あなた to feel 安全, 安全です enough to make new friends."
Anjanette gave a small smile. "Thanks, Uncle Bruce. I'm just... not sure I'm ready to tell anyone else about my parents yet."
"You don't have to," Bruce assured her. "Not before you're ready. Tammy knows you're not ready to talk about it, and I'm sure there are many other things あなた can connect over in the meantime."
Anjanette felt better. "Yes - she loves the Beatles, too. And we all 愛 animals...." Maybe her uncle was right, and she should let Tammy in. And then, once she got her Collie, she could find herself with two new friends.

This is a special request from Antonia, so here I go.
I'm sorry that you've been feeling down recently. Losing a friend is hard, and I know what it's like to go through this. However, I want to let あなた know that I'm here for you. I'll be a shoulder to cry on, and あなた can talk with me anytime あなた like.
あなた are never alone, Antonia. All of your current フレンズ care for あなた deeply. Don't ever change, buddy. It would be heartbreaking if あなた did. I know I would be. Also, your old friend would want あなた to be happy. She's in a better place now, and you'll eventually see her again someday. I just know it.
In closing this, remember the lyrics to one of my all-time お気に入り Beatles songs: "Any time at all, all あなた gotta do is call, and we'll be there."
Peace and love,
~Kelly 🌟🌟🌟

When Greeley's birthday finally arrived, Leila went to Greeley's house. When she knocked on the door, Greeley answered. He said, "Hi, Leila." She said, "Hi, Greeley. Happy eighteenth birthday." She then handed him a card. He said, "Thank you." When he opened the card, the コンサート tickets fell out. He said, "You got me コンサート tickets!" She said, "Yes, and not just any コンサート tickets. I got tickets to see New Religion. They're having an outdoor コンサート this evening." He said, "That's bloody amazing. Thank you, Leila." He hugged her. She said, "You're welcome, Greeley." After dinner, they had some cake. Greeley said, "This is the best birthday I've ever had." Leila said, "It's not over yet." He said, "You're right. We have a New Religion コンサート to go to." She said, "That's right. We better go if we want to get good parking." He said, "Right." The two フレンズ got into Greeley's car and headed to the concert.
