Sam just sat there, leaning against Komodo like a child would to a stuffed animal. "I guess there may be another person who doesn't care. I mean, Maxi and Lee are all I have right now. I thought..." she paused for a moment, staring at the grass, "I thought I could try and make friends with the new students... One of them just... doesn't care I guess... Like he has no soul or something..." It felt rather nice to sit there with Komodo. He was like a 4th brother to her, and always seemed to make her feel better. Despite being a bear in captivity like this, he was the only true friend who cared for her. Komodo looked at Sam, then nuzzled her face, licking her cheek to get rid of the tears that had escaped from her eyes. "I'm sorry you had to listen to that, Komodo... I know it's sad... You don't like sad things..." she sighed "I try to play it off with a happy, caring, helpful attitude... I try to get myself involved with other things like Soccer Practice with Maxi or Dance Practice with Lee... They're my only friends who care too, but... Not the way I wish they'd be..."<br/><br/>She slowly wiped the tears from her eyes and stood up from the ground. Komodo stood up on all fours and started to follow her around the open card. The two would go on a walk for a little bit. Heading over towards a gate near the building they had just exited from, Sam started to unlock it and pushed it open, allowing Komodo out so the two could walk the Zoo grounds. They always did this. It was something Sam would often do with Komodo even when he was little. It's how they bonded, like two friends who met for the first time, they would do this. "I think that if a person doesn't like someone, that you can't try to change it. If they hate you, they hate you for a reason... Maybe it's cause I talk a lot or something. I do that..." she said, talking as if she were with an old friend. Komodo walked alongside her, though Komodo was a rather large bear, a Grizzly at that. "I know that I can't change peoples' minds, so I may as well embrace and accept it. If they want to be alone, I'll leave them alone..." she said quietly. "I'm fine with being a loner. Nothing's changed over the past 12 years anyways..."
