    In the book Million-Dollar Throw by Mike Lupica, a character that could be considered a best friend is Abby McCall, who is an artist. Abby McCall is best friends with the main character Nate Brodie, the star quarterback on his school football team. Abby can be considered a best friend because she always stood by Nate’s side, and helped him through tough times. An example that depicts Abby’s role as a supportive best friend reads, “That throw is the thing that we all gotta believe in, Brady, (Nate’s nickname) what keeps us all going” (Lupica 88).

Abby explained to him that the throw is a symbol of hope. She stood by and supported Nate, and helped alleviate all the pressure he was feeling. One character trait to describe Abby is focused.

When he is on the field, all he thinks about is what he is going to do with the ball. Thus, a…
