Liam went to school the next day, face gaunt and eyes baggy, expecting to have his ears burning. But, there was nothing. People just waved at him or never even saw him. He walked into class, where all his classmates were seated.

"You're late, Liam." Miss Bustier said. "What's the reason?"

"I had a bad time sleeping last night," Liam answered. 'Tried to stop a car theft then saved a cat from a tree. If I ever get a pet, I'm getting a dog.'

"You look like you were thrown into a washer then left there after too many cycles," Chloe said.

"Chloe!" Miss Bustier scowled.

"Thanks, Chloe," Liam responded. "I think that's gonna be the highest compliment I get all day." Liam walked up to his seat and thought about how he could help Sabrina. As he kept thinking, he noticed that Sabrina wasn't moving at all. 'She must be terrified of Alix.' The bell rang and Liam walked down to Sabrina, observed by Marinette. "I'm sorry for what happened."

Sabrina was silent, then slowly whispered. "You didn't do anything."

"I still feel responsible. I made Alix angry enough. Please don't be scared of her."

"That's... a bit difficult."

"Sabrina!" Chloe shouted. "What are you doing talking with that lowlife?"

"Go jack off to a fashion magazine!" Liam retaliated. Chloe walked off. "Sorry for that. I'm not gonna lie: I fail to see how you two became friends."

"It started when I first did Chloe's geography homework."

Liam was intrigued. "One last thing: What would you describe as a 'healthy friendship'?"

"Doing your friend's homework, helping them with their goal, sometimes doing it for them, forgiving them for hurting you even if they never apologized."

Liam hung his head and sighed in despair, but he raised his head with an idea. "Is Chloe your only friend?"

"Yes. Why?"

"I want to be your friend. Your real friend." Sabrina gasped but was unable to give an answer because...

"SABRINA!" Sabrina quickly got up and ran.

"Please think about it!" Liam begged.

At hometime, Liam was feeling better. What he didn't realize was that the feeling was Adrenaline that had been released. It started to wear off and Liam nearly collapsed at the school entrance. He found himself being held up by Sabrina, Alix, and Nathaniel. The three helped him down to sit on the stairs.

"What's wrong with you?" Nathaniel asked.

"I'm exhausted," Liam answered. "Thanks for keeping me steady. All three of you. Not that I deserve it."

"We've been over this, Liam," Alix retaliated. "You made a mistake. Guess you didn't know, no one who was there has actually said anything. Chloe found out what Lila said at the Hallowe'en party and used Sabrina to try and upset us." Alix frowned and looked at Sabrina, observing her bruised eye. "I'm sorry for that. I really am."

"Well, you should be," Sabrina responded. "I only provoked you-"

"Can we all just please just try and move on from this?" Liam asked. "Have you thought about my offer, Sabrina?"

Sabrina was mute. 'If I say yes, Chloe will be mad, but he seems nice enough. He clearly feels guilty for his actions. Do I take that risk? If I lose Chloe and then mess up with Liam, I could be alone for the rest of my school years.' Sabrina's thoughts were interrupted by Chloe's limo driving off. "Chloe, wait!" Sabrina ran, but the limo was gone. At that moment, Félix pulled up.

"Where do you need to go?" Liam asked.

"Le Grand Paris."

Liam walked over to Félix and spoke to him, but Sabrina couldn't hear what he was saying. All she saw was Félix nodding, then Liam spoke.

"Hop in. We'll drop you off on the way home." Sabrina was in glee. She jogged over and got into the car, passenger back left. Liam turned to face Nathaniel and Alix. "See you later!" Alix and Nathaniel waved goodbye as Sabrina and Liam got into the back right seat and went off in the car. Félix drove to Le Grand Paris. On the way, Liam spoke to Sabrina. "You know you and Chloe can still be BFFs."

"What?"

"I asked to be your friend. I'm not saying Chloe shouldn't be your best friend. That's your choice. I'm saying she shouldn't be your ONLY friend."

"You mean you can have more than one friend?"

Liam's eyes widened and his jaw dropped. "Yeah, you can have more than one friend! Who said that you- You know what? Don't answer that."

"You really would like to be my friend?"

"Of course. I'll get to show you what a real friendship is. I heard Marinette already tried and failed."

"She did. Chloe and I were assigned a science project with her. Chloe said she couldn't do it because she needed to have her nails done, so I said Marinette and I would do the research and compile the information and Chloe could present. But Marinette said that wasn't fair."

"It wasn't. And getting nails done is no excuse. If Chloe was at a job and said that, she'd be fired." Félix pulled up at Le Grand Paris. "Well, here we are." Sabrina took her seatbelt off and got out.

"Yes. I'd like us to be friends."

Liam smiled. "Great!" Liam shook Sabrina's hand. "Goodbye, friend. See you tomorrow!" Sabrina closed the door and walked into the hotel. Félix drove home.

"You really think you can show her what real friend is?" Félix asked.

"I can try."

The next day, Liam returned to school. Final day before the weekend off, so he was feeling better. He started walking inside when...

"Liam!" Sabrina shouted. Liam turned around and Sabrina handed him a file.

"What's this?" The boy asked.

"All your homework. I did it all for you AND Chloe. I didn't have time to get my own done, though."

Liam gave a look of disappointment. "Really? That's... How can I return the favor?"

"You don't. That's what friends do, isn't it?"

In science, Ms. Mendeleiev silenced the students when the lesson began.

"Now, I've been looking through all of the homework assigned. Kim, this is the third time you've not submitted your work. On Monday, an hour of detention after school." Kim groaned. "Marinette, your work is a step up from previous submissions. Good job." Marinette smiled. "Sabrina..." Sabrina gulped. "Your work is one of the best you've ever done. I'm actually impressed." Sabrina was confused. "Liam, you're quickly making a big mark. I admit you're really clever. Keep it up." Liam nodded. "Max, same as always. Doing good. Same goes for the rest of you. Exactly what I was expecting from each of you." 'Which is not much. Shame you're gonna fail.'

At lunch break, Liam was in the line when Sabrina walked behind his shoulder.

"Liam, do you know what happened in Science?" Sabrina asked.

"Yeah. I took the homework you did for me and told Ms. Mendeleiev that it was yours. I used my own work for my homework."

Sabrina raised an eyebrow. "Why?"

"Because friends may help each other with homework but they never do each other's homework."

Sabrina gasped. "Is this what friendship is like?"

"It's a part of it."

Sabrina spent the rest of the day in glee that she had more than one friend. She looked forward to seeing who else could be friends with her...
