Is your friend a bestie, a worstie. . . . frenemy?

Imagine you get accepted to the program of your dreams like Halley does. You have to move to another city for the summer, but it’s such a mega honor you can’t say no. What would your BFF do?

Email (and call. . . .and text. . . .and IM. . . .) me every day.
Tell me no program is worth abandoning her for an entire summer!

If you commit a fashion faux pas (impossible, I know—but just try to imagine), your best bud would. . . .

Don a similar outfit, so at least we’d be partners in (fashion) crime together!
Play Halley and Avalon’s Yes, No, Maybe fashion game—with a very honest NO.

You’ve gotten to know a really great girl, but she’s not exactly Miss Popular at school. Because you like her, your bestie would. . . .

Give her a chance. Any friend of mine is a friend of hers!
Decide it’s time for a major friend intervention.

After a big throw-down fight, your like-a-sister-to-you pal would. . . .

Show up at my house with a peace offering—most likely my favorite comfort food or a stack of vintage Vogues.
Outline the terms of dissolution of our relationship in her version of a settlement agreement.

When people talk about you and your best friend, they call you by. . . .

Our shared nickname. Just like Halley and Avalon, we’re together so much people figure they might as well just call us by one name.
Uh, our names. What else?

You’re psyched about a brand-new hobby, one your other half just isn’t into. She. . . .

Cheers me on from the sidelines at every show/performance/game.
Steers clear of the new me. She explains that shopping together is just so much cooler.

When you come to school rocking the perfect outfit, your best bud is. . . .

Thrilled. After exclaiming how cute I look, she calls dibs on borrowing my outfit.
Jealous. She clearly wishes she had put together that fab ensemble!

The cutest boy in school has a crush on you! (Yes, you heard right. Go ahead and scream.) Your best friend forever. . . .

Helps me practice exactly what I’m going to say to him.
Makes sure to hang out with him—when I’m not around.

Get this: your BFF’s parents bought her TWO tickets to the hottest concert in town! She will of course take. . . .

Me, the person who’s been there for her through everything.
The boy she’s into. How better to win him over than at a concert?

Somehow, your amiga got invited to the coolest party of the year—and you didn’t. She. . . .

Goes to the movies with me instead. What fun is a party anyway, if we’re not there together?
Says, “Adios, chica!” No one, not even me, is worth missing a party for.

Your friend is more like. . . .
