Lizzie: Hey, I just saw you talking to James. I didn’t know you two were friends!
Hamid: Yeah, we’re pretty close. I’ve known him since I was a kid.
Lizzie: How did you first meet?
Hamid: Actually, we grew up together. He lived next door to us, so he’s kind of a family friend. How do you two know each other?
Lizzie: He’s in my class, but we’re not really close. He’s just a casual acquaintance of mine.
Hamid: You should get to know him better. He’s a great guy. I’m sure you two would really hit it off.
