pop quiz! which YA bff are you?

we hand out bff charms like candy around here (not that they don’t deserve it!), but sometimes the faithful sidekick of the story doesn’t get the attention she or he deserves. but not today! grab yr margarita and a pencil and find out which bff you are.

which YA bff are you?

1. yr bff (the main character) gets dumped. you:
A. confiscate the cell phone and go on a road trip
B. give her some brochures on self actualization and suggest a buffy marathon
C. squirrel! look, squirrel!
D. take her to her favorite place in the woods and sit together quietly, ready with whatever she needs when she wants to talk

2. yr bff’s bombing in school. you say:
A. “dude! it’s about time — you can’t always be perfect. plus, now’s the time to kick back and enjoy the parental support”
B. “what is WRONG with you?!? you’ve never had this much trouble before. all you do is sit and write in that diary when you should be paying attention in class. you’re never going to get anywhere like this.”
C. “poo! poo, bff, poo!”
D. “you’re not doing so hot. look, i know it’s tough, but you’ve got to do just a little bit of your work. here, i’ll help”

3. yr bff asks if it’s ok to date yr ex!!!
A. you don’t care — you only date people worthy of marriage anyway, so you don’t have any exes.
B. you freak out at her in the caf and vow never to speak to her again. you hang up on all her calls and don’t respond to her emails.
C. you’re too busy running in circles around a bush to notice.
D. you’re upset, but you talk to her about it, and although things cool off between you for a while, you’ll be there to pick up the pieces when he breaks HER heart, too

4. yr bff has mono! OMG!
A. you bring over a hardee’s thickburger. after all, that can cure anything.
B. you pick up her homework from school and bring it over with chinese food and yr star wars box set. publicly humiliating her over the boyfriend stealing got all yr resentment out of yr system (you ARE self actualized, after all)
C. you snuggle up to her and put yr head on her lap.
D. you make sure no one bothers her and force her to stay in bed to recover.

MOSTLY As

you’re hassan, the faithful muslim-not-terrorist sidekick to colin from An Abundance of Katherines by john green. you might come across as insensitive and goofy sometimes (OK, all the time), but you’ve got yr bff’s best interests at heart. plus, if you listen between the wisecracks, you’ve got some wicked smart stuff to say about life and love.

MOSTLY Bs

you’re lily moscowitz from meg cabot’s princess diaries series. you’ve been bffs for so long, it’s hard to imagine being bffs with anyone else. you care about yr friend, but you actually really suck at communicating, so small things become big fights quickly. though you always make up, maybe you should take some friendship lessons from tina hakim-baba (and some communication lessons from those shrink journals yr parents read).

MOSTLY Cs

ok, did anyone REALLY get this one? you’re manchee from the chaos walking series by patrick ness, my FAVORITE YA BFF EVER. yes, you’re a dog, but you’re also unquestioningly loyal, loving, brave and (believe it or not) kinda smart (for a dog). you’d do anything for yr bff (or for a snack), as long as you get to poo first (ps that’s a picture of my dog!).

MOSTLY Ds

you’re raffy from jellicoe road by melina marchetta. you’re sweet, smart, take charge and tough, and you always seem to be there to pick up the slack when yr bff has an emotional breakdown. you’ve got boy issues of yr own, but you’ll always be ready to help out yr bff, even if she doesn’t know you’re doing it.
