"I mean, it is, I'm really fine, you know?" He probably doesn't know. Junie has a way of assuming that she's told everyone everything that is going on, even if she doesn't recall ever doing that. "It's not like my classmates aren't super friendly and helpful. But I feel like I don't fit in. That's why I'm glad I have you," she adds, with a warm smile. "I don't know what I would do without at least one person close to me. It gets lonely, really. And, I've had pretty dismal failure with trying to date, and Quentin says that I'm scary, although he said I was still cute despite being scary." Things still weren't 100% a-okay with her and Quentin and Miguel and she did feel an odd bit of guilt that she was so close to Zach now instead of them. But he just listened so much better, and was so much more understanding.
"You are really supportive, Zach. It's one of your best qualities. Thanks for being my friend."
