i think you may be right about steve being slightly intimidated by francine. she is quite fun to be around and confident in her actions, she’s not afraid to talk to someone she likes and speak her mind. steve is a bit more reserved, i have both sides, a reserved side and a fun side so i get along with both. most of my closest friends are laid-back, compassionate and fun to be around and they embrace me for being me. ii was quite shy in seventh grade when i met steve in science class b/c i was working on doing well in school, but i also had some confidence as well. i complimented him on his science project and he stayed to help me with a science assignment. i think francine needs to approach steve in a slow, laid-back manner like you said and maybe compliment him a little to get him to open up. also about the song, i did that all on impulse without prior thought. thanks for saying that it is good:) i think some of andrew’s good humor is rubbing off me. andrew is my ap biology partner and we always make each other laugh. he isn’t extremely confident, but he has a very optimistic and laid-back nature that is quite fun. i think i was thinking about him and how fun he can be when i wrote the song;) andrew can turn any serious thing into a funny thing and make you understand something well. i also can do that, but not when i have an inner bully in me. andrew and i make each other laugh and we don’t compete anymore. when we are talking, my inner bully disappears.
