What’s wrong?

I heard Miguel and Julia talking about me.

Margo crying while Paolo looks concerned

They said I was annoying. And they don’t want to be my friend anymore.

I’m really sorry.

Paolo smiling

You know, they’re just missing out! I always have fun with you.

Paolo talking while Margo wipes her eyes

Seriously! You even make chores fun somehow. You have the best jokes! And the best ideas. And you’re nice to everyone.

Margo smiling while Paolo nudges her with his elbow

OK, OK. You don’t have to say all that.

Hey, I’m just telling the truth.

Thanks, Paolo. You always know what to say. I feel a lot better.
