Oh yes, that was adorable. Val was trying to sublimate her own heightened interest in Juls as something to pass on to somebody else. Juls is so pretty, Juls is so nice, Juls dances so well, Juls would be such a great girlfriend–*record scratch*–for a dude who is close to me, obviously, so we can hang out together alllll the time. And it’s hard for her, right, because she is extremely rich and pretty and nice, and thus attracts a ton of legit horrible people and thinks they’re her friends and so a part of her is like, well, this must be what real friendship is like. Her first real best friend also happened to be someone she was super attracted to and falling in love with.
Her mind is on the right track but getting to the wrong destination, lol, she is so interested to Juls and in such a romantic way, it must obviously be because she sees the potential for someone else. Well, she got there eventually.
