Amanda

Mason: Hey Amanda! What’s going on? What are you…just hanging out?

Amanda: Oh was that too much? Oh I’m sorry. We’re friends. I’m sorry.

Mason: Don’t let me interrupt…

Amanda: So what’s going on?

Mason: I just kinda finished a date.

Amanda: A what?

Mason: Well I met this girl Hilary…

Amanda: A girl?

Mason: She works at the Hot Dog on a Stick. I mean, I tell ya…

Amanda: Are you serious?

Mason: ...I know she looks kinda lame, but uh, you see her out of that uniform. Whoa-oh-ho. Man.

Amanda: Is she a hot dog on a stick?

Mason: I didn’t think of that, but yeah, she is one hot dog. Uh…

Amanda: So what do you like about her? Is she smart? Good with her hands?

Mason: You know, like, she’s got really good hair. She’s blond. Really pretty.

Amanda: I…I have great hair.

Mason: Yeah, you do have great hair. You know…

Amanda: Did you say she was skinny?

Mason: Yeah, I mean, you know. I didn’t really notice…

Amanda: As opposed to…me?

Mason: She’s not fat or anything. I guess she kinda looks a lot like you.

Amanda: But skinny?

Mason: A lot like you.

Amanda: Are you gonna call her?

Mason: Well totally. I mean, I’m kinda…like how long should I wait? What’s the appropriate amount of time? Like two days?

Amanda: I think I heard, like friend to friend…is girls don’t like being called.

Mason: I should wait for her to call me?

Amanda: Yeah.

Mason: You sure?

Amanda: Totally. I wouldn’t steer you wrong. You’re my friend.

Mason: You give it to me straight so that’s totally what…

Amanda: Oh, I’d give it to you…

Discussion

Mason sits down next to Amanda and she tries to cuddle with him a little. Mason is surprised and she backs off saying, “We’re friends.”

He begins telling her about a date he went on with a girl named Hilary who works at a hot dog stand. Amanda jokingly asks if she’s a hot dog, meaning, “Is she attractive?”

Mason says that she is and he begins to describe her. He says he likes her hair, but for some reason Amanda asks if he said she’s skinny. Could Amanda be insecure about her weight? That would be crazy! Look how thin she is.

Then Amanda tells Mason that even though he likes Hilary, he shouldn’t call her. It’s terrible advice. She’s trying to sabotage Mason’s relationship with Hilary. But Mason trusts her and says he won’t call her.

What do you think is going to happen to Amanda and Mason? Do you think he’ll ever notice that she likes him? Have you ever liked someone who didn’t realize it? Watch this soap opera unfold every Tuesday right here on Ebaby!

i think mason wants to tell something to amanda but he could not tell her so he is trying to tell her with this idea that is hilary. so i suggest that amnda call to mason and describe her feelings.

personally i think that amanda must speak you min d and no stop beating around the bush. the main point is that she have miss led his in believing in something that is not true and that can hurt their friendship. i say tell how she feels

The conversation is very good between two people its so interesting and its about day to day sceanario like the words they have used is simple and that is what makes every one to understand.

I think Amanda likes Mason a much and she is afraid to tell him about her love and more ever she is in pain when she hears Mason praising that Hot Dog girl to whom he has met recently.Even Mason too likes Amanda and he is giving a hint to her about his likes and dislikes to Amanda.

Both are in love with each other but the method they are using is different

i think a lot after i watch the video and read all the friends' word. actually i met the same thing as Amanda. i like a boy but i haven't told him . we are just friends now. it' s not easy to say i like you to him , because you are not sure if he will accept you.
