You shouldn't make fun of your friends.
Dave and Alfonso are in high school and have been friends for a few years.
Dave wants to fit in with more of the neighborhood kids.
Dave and Alfonso remain close with each other and stick together as they befriend other neighborhood kids.
Dave is nice to Alfonso when they are alone but picks on him when other kids are around.
Some of the kids become close with both Dave and Alfonso, and they become a good group of friends.
The neighborhood kids befriend Alfonsi, but do not see Dave as loyal or trustworthy enough to be friends.
