Maya: (looking surprised) Oh, hi, Alex! Sure, you can sit here.

Alex: Thanks! I noticed you’ve been sitting alone lately. Is everything okay?

Maya: Yeah, I guess. I just haven’t made many friends yet.

Alex: Well, I’d love to be your friend! We can play together during recess and sit together in class. What do you think?

Maya: (smiling) That sounds great, Alex! I’d really appreciate that.
