Situation 2

This is the same situation. Reread it if you need to refresh your memory before answering the question below.

Steve likes a particular group of guys because they always spend time together and seem to laugh a lot. They don't socialize much with other students, preferring to spend most of their free time together. Lately, some of them have been talking casually with Steve, and he has expressed to them his interest in becoming a part of their group. The guys tell Steve he can become part of the group but first he has to go down to the neighborhood supermarket and steal one candy bar for each guy.

What might Steve be feeling?
