"Thanks, dad," Techno verbalized as he closed the car door.

Phil had been nice enough to drop off both Tommy and Techno at school. Phil had spent the last few days getting Tom in the system. They hadn't expected it to take as long as it did.

"So this is a school?" Tommy wowed at the building. It was pretty new.

"I—- yeah? Do you not know what a school is?" Techno was questioning Tommy more and more each day they spent together. Tommy couldn't stand it.

"Of course I do! I just have never gone to one for as long as I lived." He added a nervous laugh at the end.

"Let's go!" Tommy pulled Techno along with him towards the building.

Tommy pushed the front door open. Many students walked the halls. Some stood by their lockers, having random conversations. Well, others vape out in the open.

The blond caught a whiff of smoke and coughed out his lungs. "That shit is awful!"

"Welcome to hell," Techno' voice came out flat and boring as he walked away from him.

"Where are you going?" Tommy frowned.

"Survival of the fittest!" Techno laughed before running off in a completely different direction than Tommy.

They eat him up alive. Techno laughed to himself.

Tommy sighed. No use in following him. He had to get to class. Which is a place children go to learn about whatever an adult is teaching. It all sounded so amazing to him. He couldn't wait to try it out.

"It sucks what happened to Wilbur."

Looking towards a group of three boys. A male ripped down a red piece of paper with a cat on it. Actually, the cat was being crushed by an anvil. Tommy wondered if the person who made it hated cats.

"We could always get another singer for Lovejoy..."

Tommy had heard the name Wilbur before. He hadn't had the chance to ask Phil or Techno what happened to him. Maybe this was his chance to find out what really happened.

"Hey!"

The three boys turned to Tommy. He froze, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"I— you guys are talking about Wilbur, right? Do you know what happened to him?"

"Yeah... who are you again?" A guy with a beanie and golden glasses asked Tommy. Which honestly he should've expected.

"Oh. My name is Tommy, I'm Wilbur and Techno's younger brother."

Bullshit.

Tell me pretty lies~

Bullshit.

Looking in face~

Bullshit.

Stop singing!

Lies!

e.

Shut up! It had been a mistake for Tommy to take these stupid voices from Techno. But they almost gave away his identity.

"Really? How come Wilbur never mentioned you?" The one with a guitar hung around his back told.

"I actually haven't met him yet! Phil just adopted me..."

"Oh... look, Timmy, was it? We got to go..." The guys looked at each other, before answering. " We all have band practice right now because I said so!"
