Characters: Bendix Jonathan Llewellyn, mentions of Olivier Armstrong
Timeline: when they were fourteen
You see your best friend crying. What do you do?
a) ask him/her what is wrong and then try to comfort her the best I can.
b) get him/her to forget the problems, take him/her out, etc.
c) leave him/her alone. He/she might need the privacy.
"Make hot cacao, a slice of strawberry cake and good music. Sit down with her in my room, rub her back and tell her that everything will be fine. Make sure that we have cards for the opera for the evening … the usual program."
Your best friend wants this guy/girl. You have a crush on him/her too. What do you do?
a) let him/her go out with the girl/boy. Friends always come first.
b) Talk with him/her. Maybe you could get it worked out.
c) Go out with him/her, then try to get your friend to forget about him/her.
"Olivier may be a little bit strange but I really hope that she doesn't want to go out with herself."
Two friends are fighting. One of them is your best friend. What do you do?
a) Listen to the fight, and try to see who has the best points. Then take this side.
b) Stay out of it, even though your best friend is in it.
c) Tell the person who isn't your best friend to go to hell.
"Liv never gets in random fights, so I would be always on her side because she would have a reason if she would fight with someone."
Your best friend calls you late at night. What do you say?
a) You don't say anything, and just don't answer the phone. They will live.
b) "I wasn't sleeping. What do you want?"
c) "Do you think we could talk about this tomorrow?"
"She would never call … she would just appear in my room and she wouldn't care if I would want to sleep or not … and still … I would help her."
Your best friend goes to a party. She/he wants you to come too. What do you do?
a) Don't go. I could get in a lot of trouble.
b) Go for a little while, but then go home.
c) Go, duh. I mean, my best friend said I could.
"And again … where is answer d) 'No one would be stupid enough to invite Liv but not me'? Everyone knows that we always show up together for crying out loud," he said.
Your best friend starts hanging out with another person. What do you do?
a) Find another best friend. Since he/she ditched me, I'll ditch him/her.
b) Talk to her about it.
c) Start crying. "She is my best friend."
"I would blackmail her into staying friends with me … and since I have so much dirt on her, she would have no other choice … no … honestly … she would she trade me against someone else when I already know how to be her best friend?"
Your best friend invites you to a sleepover. What do you say to her/him?
a) Don't know. I might have plans.
b) Of course I will.
c) I'll call my mom.
"Well, it would be stupid to pass an offer like that. I mean … how many boys of my age are allowed to have sleepover with pretty girls like Olivier?"
Your best friend doesn't have any room at your lunch table. All the seats are taken. What do you do?
a) Say you are sorry and that you will sit with him/her tomorrow.
b) Move to another table, duh.
c) Just ignore him/her and sit where you are.
"Well, I always sit with Liv at lunch, so why should there be no place for her? And even if someone were suicidal enough to steal her place … one glare and the place would be free again."
Why do you have a best friend?
a) So I won't be lonely. I do like him/her a lot though.
b) Well, I love him/her to the end; I think he/she is a good friend to have.
c) Don't know. Why are you asking?
"Because our insane parents let us play together since we were little, innocent babies and we had no chance to get out of this hell without becoming best friends, that's why," he muttered.
Why did you take this test?
a) To see if I am a good best friend.
b) I was bored and this was the only thing to do.
c) Because I like taking friendship tests.
"I just took it because Olivier took it too and she asked me to do it … and I am not suicidal enough to disobey her orders."
