With a mock salute, Lee took the book and looked it over, trying to catch up with what the teacher said and mulling over what Ed had told her - so apparently Ed and his friends were big time targets of the bullies here? That sucked. Did they really deserve that? "Of course, if you stop being friends with me, I'll have to befriend gangsters so maybe you should keep being my friend." She gave him a playful smile. "Just saying."
"I could be a gangster. For all you know." Well, he could be. Maybe he didn't look it, but still. His father was kind of a gangster. Well. He probably didn't even rank high enough to warrant that description, more like a crook. Too drunk to be a gangster, definitely too stupid. Some subspecies below that. "I don't know why you want to be friends. People don't."
"Maybe people don't cause you keep asking them why they do? I just do, okay? Stop being a baby about it." Lee teased, looking at Ed with amusement despite her words. "I like you. You're smart and I don't have any friends so I want to make some. Ones who have stuff in common with me. I think we do. So we can hang, promise."
She held out her pinkie playfully and wiggled it. "Come on, promise me. Don't ditch me, Eddie."

Now, what she would do? He supposed only time would tell.
