"Absolutely not!" It's cheery, but a little firm. "All smiles from you, Jasmine. Got it?" Even if she knows it's absurd to ask, she'll do it anyway. She believes in Jasmine, a hundred percent.

That doesn't stop her from giggling when Jasmine suggests certain things. "I inspired you? The artist, inspired by the student council nerd? I think that breaks every rule ever, but it warms my heart anyway, and I'm still glad for it every day. I don't think I tell you enough, but I'm so, so happy I met you, Jasmine. You've done a lot to help me pull my life together in my darker moments, and I don't know how I'll ever thank you for that." She's smiling as warmly as she can, feet kicking a little in the water with excited energy.
