She was seated on the bench while Suzy and Shiloh were sitting on the lawn not far away. Adaline said, “Adrian, I saw you on the television. You were really cool!” Adrian said upon hearing that, “Stop trying to flatter me. How has school been?” Adaline nodded. “Pretty good. Suzy and Shiloh are my best friends now. We spend every day waking up, eating, going to classes, and shopping together. It’s pretty amazing.” “Great. Study hard and don’t loaf around,” said Adrian. “Okay, Adrian.”
