When I first met Francine she was very nice and bubbly. She made a joke about me breaking her favorite mug that was at Joey's house. I joked back that she shouldn't leave stuff laying around if she doesn't want it to break. She laughed so I'm sure it's cool. But the other day Joey said I should have bought her a new mug.

Alex's Story of first Conflict

Joey got a new job and I wanted to go out and celebrate that night. Francine like blew up on Joey and didn't want him to go to the arcade with me and hangout. I told Francine she could totally come if she wanted to. She stood in the corner and pouted the whole time. Every time I talked she rolled her eyes.

Alex's Story of Second Conflict

IJoey has a really cool riding lawn mower, my parents live close to him and they needed me to help with mowing their grass. I figured I could just ride the mower over to their house and cut the grass. I must have done something wrong because the blades got all messed up by something in the road. Joey was cool about it but Francine kept saying she told me not to ride the mower over. So not cool.

Alex's PErspective of Conflict 3

Joey had a game night at his place. I brought the food, video games, and snacks over. We had about 25 people and we were all having a good time. Francine was there too. At about 9pm Francine started cleaning up the party, so everyone left because they thought they were supposed to go. But the party was for a watch party for our favorite show. By the time the show started pretty much everyone left and I was ticked. I think Francine purposely wanted to ruin the party.

Alex's Perception of Conflict 4

We were all hanging out and Francine was trying to study. I guess she had a big final? I wasn't trying to distract her but I was laughing and joking with Joey. She sighed slammed her chair back, grabbed her stuff and took off.

Francine is the best person in the whole world. I can't believe how supportive and disciplined she is. It's really nice to know someone has my back and looks out for me. She's really good at making the "tough" call.

Joey's Perspective

" Francine doesn't know how to relax. She's super controlling and always makes rude comments towards me. I was at JOEY's house when she told me, " Don't you need to study?" She never wants Joey and I to have a gaming and pizza night anymore. Joey always seems stressed out when she's around."

+

Alex's Perspective

+

" I've known Alex for forever. He used to protect me from bullies in school. He has always been super protective of me. However, Alex can be alot. He always has something going on and he's definitely always on the go. Sometimes I get exhausted being around him.

Joey's Perspective

+

Alex is alright, he's just a lot all the time. He kind of reminds me of a golden retriever. Like he's always hungry, and even if you throw the ball a million times he'll throw a tantrum if you dont a million and one times.

Francine's Perspective

" We have been inseparable since 8th grade. We play video games at Joey's house just like when we were in middle school. Joey is a great guy. He's always there to bail me out of trouble, and we can chill whenever. "

Alex's Perception

+

Alex and Joey

+

Joey is super sweet. He loves to take care of people and it's no shock that he's a nurse. Unfortunately, Joey doesn't know how to teach people to be independent. He's an easy target for moochers.

Francine's Perspective
