301--Friendship

All righty, gang. Sit down and shut up. This week we're working on friendship and communication. Notice how this just keeps building upon itself.

Now you might think that family would be more important in communcation, but it really isn't. Friends are chosen. Therefore the communication used with them is more carefully chosen. The things you talk about, the ways you show to one another that each is important to the other [she turns to the board and writes RECIPROCITY] The ways in which there is reciprocal respect and action. It's amazing what we say when and to whom. Have you ever told a complete stranger somethign you would only tell a close friend after a long passage of time? It's the human condition to do that. Let's talk, we'll ease in. Intimacy, trust, and platonic friendships. Whatcha think?

"Exactly," she says, smiling shyly at Logan.

She leans over and whispers, "Glad you made it today. And I didn't even have to bring you here forcibly."

Logan grins and whispers back, "I couldn't stand to be alone in the house with the butler... it's just too painful now."

Allie rolls her eyes and giggles.

"Hey, we need to go shopping for Halloween costumes some time this week," she says.

"Excellent idea." He tries to remember his schedule. "Will tomorrow work? I should be out of classes, assuming I go to them, by 3:30."

She gives him a look that says he better go to his classes, but nods. "Yeah, unless I get a call about a meeting for the peer mediators, it's fine with me."

Dodging 'the look' Logan says "Oh yeah - your interview! I take it you got the job? Congratulations."

"Yeah I did. Thanks."

She notices Lily and says, "Hey, I need to talk to someone. I'll meet you at the house later, okay?"

"Sounds good." He reaches out to squeeze her hand before taking his books and leaving.
