"I'd like for you to try being my best friend," explained Kelly.
Zack waited a moment before busting out laughing.
"What? Best friend? Are you kidding me? Who would want to be best friends with you?"
Kelly frowned, though she didn't have quite the angry reaction Zack might have expected from her after such an outburst. It looked almost like she was sad, in a way.
"In exchange," she continued. "I am willing to give you anything your heart desires. Anything at all."
At that, Zack raised an eye. "Anything?"
"Anything. A new car. Your school loans paid off. The newest gaming console. Anything one thing, and just one thing, that you can think of will be yours if you go through with this."
"You're bullshitting me," Zack said, though he didn't hear it in her voice. "How can you afford all that? I thought you were just a motivational speaker."
"Oh, Zack. I am so much more than that, you have no idea. I have my ways. I can't promise it will be instantaneous like a genie's wish. But I will honor our deal if you go through with it."
"And how long do you want me to be your bud? Forever?"
"No. If it was forever then our relationship would basically be bought. This is more a lesson in how I can help you see things from a different perspective. To that end, I'd say we would need a month's time only."
"A month, huh? And what exactly does being your best friend entail?"
"No more staying up all night by yourself playing video games, for one. Outside of class, we'll spend most of your free time together doing whatever we feel like. Go out to eat. Maybe do some shopping. Do things that friends do together. To make sure you're fulfilling your quota though, I will require it that we do at least one activity per day of my choosing for the next thirty days. You have to go along with it without complaint. Afterwards, we'll decide what we can do together be it just hanging out at your dorm or whatever. Maybe you can show me how to play some of your games."
"As if," Zack huffed. "So I have to do whatever you want for thirty days and I get any wish I'd like?"
"That's correct."
"What if I say that I want you to strip naked and give a speech in front of my class about how much of a fat bitch you are?"
"Then if that is your wish," Kelly sighed. "Though something tells me by the end of it, you won't be nearly as keen on that idea."
"You're on."
"There is one more condition I have yet to mention," said Kelly as she reached into her pocketbook. "For the next thirty days you also have to..."
