- Shannon Young YOUTHLINK WRITER

FRIENDSHIP­S SHOULD never be allowed to stall or become stagnant. Friends should always seek out new challenges and adventures that can strengthen their bond in every way. Xandria Stennett and Oneica McKormack say that putting their friendship to the test is the most exciting challenge of them all. They do exactly that in this week's Face-Off.

The scale 5/5 – Inseparabl­e 3-4/5 – Good Friends 1-2/5 – Friends

Oneica: I would invade every KFC. I am not sure what Xandria would do.

YL: What is one thing your best friend has said to you that you will never forget?
