A friendship that's lasted so long, they're happy just being in each other's company.
As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.
  • One before all the horror starts. While watching Low Shoulder's concert, Jennifer reaches for Needy's hand, squeezes it tight, and smiles. Self-centered Alpha Bitch that she may be, she does seem to genuinely love her best friend.
  • After the fire, a jock is seen sobbing his eyes out in the middle of class after the teacher talks about how many people the school lost. A scrawnier, nerdier boy puts an arm around him, trying to comfort him. It's a surprisingly sincere, non-judgmental moment.
  • It doesn't seem very heart-warming in the moment... you're kind of caught up in the whole 'Jennifer just appeared out of nowhere and is completely covered in blood oh now there's black bile' part, but, if the time is any indication, the first place Jennifer goes after she's attacked and "murdered" is Needy's house, not her own. Similarly, Needy is immediately concerned by this, likely believing Jennifer has an exotic, serious illness.
    • When Jennifer explains what happens to Needy, she more or less says that she nearly ate Needy, but managed to restrain herself because Needy is her best friend, indicating that some remnant of Jennifer persists even after her murder and can resist the monster to some degree, at least for Needy's sake.
  • The day after the fire, Colin tracks Needy down specifically to tell her he's glad she made it out alright.
  • Chip gently suggesting Needy talk to the school psychiatrist. He's not trying to judge her or invalidate her emotions; he's sincerely worried about his girlfriend and wants to make sure she's okay.
  • Chip's dying moments, while heartbreaking, are still quite touching in how he manages to Face Death with Dignity, and tries to comfort Needy. And then this:
    Needy: I love you.
    Chip: I love you, too. (Tearful Smile) And you look totally hot in that dress.
    Needy: You're clearly delirious.
    Chip: No, I'm not.
  • While Needy breaks into Jennifer's house in an angry, vengeful mood and planning to enjoy killing her former friend, actually remembering how close they used to be changes this, and she ends up in tears as she plunges the knife into Jennifer's heart.
