Josh saw Annie who looked very down.
"What's wrong," he asked.
"Nothing," she said even though clear something was.
"No really what's wrong," he asked his friend.
She sighed.
"Well Billy and Pete said I couldn't do anything right and nobody cares what I think because I'm a girl," she said, "and the reason I can't make a difference is cause I'm just a stupid girl."
Josh rolled his eyes.
"Billy and Pete are idiots," he said, "not to mention dead wrong"
"They are?"
"You think you don't make a difference? Let me tell you something. You do make a difference. You make a huge difference. Remember how I was feeling down the other day? You were the only one that made me feel better. It doesn't make a difference if you're a girl or not"
"But you can do all these amazing things and I can't"
"Says who," he said, "I may be able to do some things that you don't find easy at this point but that doesn't mean that you can't do it Annie and the fact that I can do it has nothing to do with the fact that I have a penis and testicles. It has to do with the fact that it's something I'm good at. You know what else?"
"No I don't know what else," she said finally smiling, "But I'm sure you're going to tell me"
He laughed.
"Yeah I'm gonna tell you. You are better at some things that I am"
"I am," she asked.
"You are better at some things then I am. Am I a stupid guy?"
"No of course not"
"You sure? I mean I thought that it said-"
"Point noted and taken," Annie said laughing
"Thanks," he said, "Now how about I show you how I do the things I'm good at"
