Metias In Legend

In the novel, Legend, by Marie Lu, a character from the novel that could be considered a best friend would be Metias. He could be counted as one since he is caring. Best friends care about each other, they aren’t rude, and don’t provide hate towards each other. Throughout June’s life, Metias cared for her no matter what she did.
