New Friend Asking for Money

omg you guys she texted again! Kamala shared some exclusive news with me - ME! - about who she’s chosen as her running mate. He sure seems like a good guy. It sounds like she made a great decision.

But towards the end of the text she did something that made me a little uncomfortable. She asked for $25. She didn’t really say precisely what it was for, either.

I know we’re friends now and all, but it just seems a little soon to ask for money. I hope she’s not in a bad way.

She included a recent photo and she looks fine from what I could tell so I’m not sure what this money thing could be about. Maybe car trouble? God I hope not. She said she travels for work a lot so that would be certainly detrimental.

Still, I’m a little put off. I’m going to text her back that I’ll think about it, but I won’t outright commit just yet.

What would you do if a new friend asked you for money?
