[Though, of course, that introduces a different worry -- the fear that he's only being kept around because he is useful. Not that his friends have ever given him that impression, but it is hard not to worry about that some days. It, after all, is how it always used to be. Not that he really had friends before, but when people would tolerate him for a time, it was always because they needed something from him, whether it was his help on a project or his notes. It had been made painfully clear that he was a lot to deal with and a pain in the ass. And so far the Bad Kids had put up with him, despite his stick-in-the-mud attitude or how he couldn't understand why anyone would want to spend time kissing, but what if that patience ever wore out? What if what he could contribute couldn't eclipse his annoyances?
Not that he was going to tell Boober any of that. Boober, after all, was also a friend who could grow tired of him.
So, instead. A change of topic!]
So, what about your other friends? You mentioned Mokey and Wembley. Do you have more?
