There was a young boy named Luke. He wasn’t very popular with the other kids at school because he wasn’t a very social boy and because of the things he liked.

6

Luke never really had any friends; he always sat and ate lunch alone. He did most school activities by himself, never asking for anyone’s help. He also plays by himself during recess because no one invites him.

7

Other boys enjoyed the newer, popular video games and enjoyed sports. However, Luke was more satisfied with older games and, while the other children would go outside and play during the weekend, he would stay inside and read books and comics.

8

Luke was sad because he was lonely and didn’t have anyone who shared his interests and who wanted to play with him.

9

One day Luke met a boy named Mike, who just so happened to like the same things as him, and they got along great.

10

They hung out after school at each other’s houses to play old video games and talk about their favorite comics. They sat and ate lunch together at school.

They even played with each other during recess.

11

Both Luke and Mike met a girl named Zoey who also liked the things they like so, Luke and Mike invited Zoey to hang out with them after school to play video games.

The three of them got along with each other great and they all became the best of friends.
