“Know what else is hard?” Blake asks. We both look at him. “Listening to you two sometimes.”

“What do you mean?” Tally asks.

“Girls are so dumb.” Tally squints at him threateningly, but he continues. “With guys it’s simple. When I hang out with my friends, we just chill. You two are

all with the ‘Oh, I wonder if so-and-so likes me.’ ” Blake makes his voice high when he says it.

“Is that supposed to be me?” Tally asks.

“Yes, you.” Then he points at me. “And Penny. All of your kind.”

“Are you as offended as I am?” she asks me, pretending to be insulted. I nod.

“I’m going to end this thing,” Blake says. “Tally, do you take Penny to be your friend?” She looks at me and says, “I do.”

“Penny, do you take Tally to be your friend?”

“I do, too.” A tiny spark glows inside of me, one that I didn’t even know had gone out.

“I now pronounce you two friends,” Blake says. He kicks the ground to make their glider swing. “Now can we please talk about something more

interesting?”

“What could possibly be more interesting than our friendship ceremony?” Tally asks.

“Anything,” he says. “As long as we don’t have to talk about how we feel about it.” Blake takes another bite of tomato and then throws the stem end over

the fence to the chickens. We laugh as one of them grabs it and runs off, making the others chase it around the yard. If only my City friends could see me

now.
