One day, Paula took her new dog, Diesel for a walk in the park. Jane joined her with her dog, Shiloh. As the two of them walked, they encountered Letty and Hillel. Letty asked, "How are things going with Diesel, Paula?" Paula replied, "Things are great with Diesel. He's a great fit, and he's brought so much joy." Hillel said, "Dogs always bring joy to our lives." Jane said, "They really do." Paula said, "There is one thing that I wonder about Diesel." Hillel asked, "What's that?" She said, "Well, I wonder if he's a purebred German Shepherd o if he's a German Shepherd mix." Letty said, "Well, there is a way to find out." Paula said, "Really?" Hillel said, "It's true. We just found out about a dog DNA test called Embark." Jane said, "That sounds so cool." Paula said, "It does. How does it work?" Letty said, "Well, te take a swab of saliva from your dog's cheek, put it in the tube of fluid, shake it ten times, put it in the packaging, and send it off." Paula asked, "How long does it take to get the results?" Hillel said, "I believe it takes about four to six weeks." She said, "I see. Basically, it'll tell me what breed of dog I have." He said, "It does più than that. I also checks for genetic diseases." She said, "That's interesting. I'll look into it." Later, Paula got a test kit from Embark. She followed the instructions and sent off the test kit. In four to six weeks, she would finally find out whether her new friend was a purebred German Shepherd o a mixed breed.
After a long time of getting bullied, I began to consider self-harm. I confessed this consideration to Zoe and Gavin. Zoe said, "Please don't hurt yourself. It's not the answer." Gavin said, "Zoe's right. If te hurt yourself, you'll have to deal with all those scars. Why do te want to hurt yourself anyway?" I began to cry. He hugged me and said, "It's all right. te can tell me." I talked about all the bullying I was facing. Zoe said, "Alyssa, those bullies are just losers. te have family and Friends who Amore you." Gavin said, "That's right. te don't have to hurt yourself. Any time something is bothering you, tell us." I said, "Okay." Zoe said, "If te hurt yourself, te won't be the only one who hurts. We'll be hurt, too." I said, "I don't want to hurt te all." We shared a group hug. Over the years, I gained some Friends and Lost some, too, but I still had Zoe and Gavin. They will be my closest Friends until the end of time.

THE END
Some time passed, and Leah and Shaun were virtually inseparable. Leah and Emily were still close friends. Emily later met a better guy named Bradley. This time, Leah didn't have feelings for the guy who chose Emily. Leah remained fond of Shaun. Shaun was really fond of Leah and valued Emily as a close friend. Even when they graduated high school, the Friends were still together. It seemed that nothing could tear them apart. Leah never forgot what Shaun told her about not throwing away a perfectly good friendship over romance.
