## "IF BY 'BOSSY' YOU MEAN AWESOME!"

##### **Jenny Yao**, to Akilah Salib from *Brave*

Jenny Yao is a member of the newspaper crew. She is best friends with Akilah Salib, another member of the newspaper crew. Their crew also has their camera wizard, Felipe. Her life goal is to either run The New York Times or to start her own media empire. One day, she had a major fight with Akilah. During the fight, Jenny called her a snobby elite journalist, and Akilah quit the newspaper crew, so Felipe left and said he'd not come back for a while. Jensen started to chat with Akilah a few days later, and when she started crying, he said, "Um, maybe, it's just lizard brain stuff?"

Akilah realized Jensen was true, so she apologized to Jenny. Jenny seemed even more guilty of all of the things she'd said.
