Answer:

(This is just a random paragraph I wrote with no significant meaning)

Idioms are in bold

Step-by-step explanation:

"Hi James, how are you!" I say to my best friend who seems abnormally fidgety today. "Hey Elena, I just... wanted to tell you something." He replied. "What?" I ask, getting impatient with how long he's taking so answer my question. "Well, you know how we're best friends right?" James asks suspiciously. "Yes, I know James. But tell me what's bothering you, stop beating around the bush!" I exclaim. He sighs and answers, "I'm moving away back to my grandma's house." "Do you have a screw loose or something? Your grandma's house it back in Italy! Does that mean you're going to leave school as well?" I exclaim. "Yeah..." James answered. "How are you so laid back!" I yell. "Well, my mother thinks grandma is dying so I really have to go." He says solemnly. My heart sinks and I say it's fine. "C'mon, let's enjoy the last day of school together!" I say as we link arms and walk towards our classroom.

Idioms and their meanings:

1) Stop beating around the bush means to stop fooling around a get to the point.

2) Have a screw loose means that someone seems slightly mad or eccentric.

3) Laid back means to be super relaxed and not seemed too worried.
