RULE #1 You pick up on all her moods
You know your BFF so well you can sniff out a bad day even if she's pretending things are fine and dandy. Maybe it's the look in her eyes or the wishy-washy response to your latest text, but if you're feeling like something's off? You know to check in to make sure things are A-OK.
