Lexy's POV

Lexy sat on the blanket in her room. Alone. Solo. Mono. She wasn't doing anything in particular. Just staring, thinking and occasionally eating. That was the life style now. Not necessarily boring, but not exciting either.

Kind of like war. Fear and anxiety most of the time, Fear and adrenaline the rest. Lexy had nothing to do. She didn't want Sean to leave, hell no. But when they vote, they vote. And sometimes that results in unhappy customers. Not that anybody really put their input in. They were just in fear of Carrie and Gumball. Lexy wasn't afraid of Gumball, but Carrie was a friend in a delicate moment. Sean was probably out somewhere, lonely, beaten up… dead. That last thought made Lexy shiver.

Then there was the knock. Carrie peeked her head in the window. She didn't change her depressed look, but Lexy did.

"Ayy, Carrie."

"Hey Lexy. Wow, you got all this space, just to yourself"

"Yeah, not much to do though" Lexy had however flipped through some of the books. They weren't good, but were a great way to pass time.

"It's been hard without Darwin…" Carrie said.

"Yeah…" Lexy had encountered the topic too many times, and hated talking about it. But she understood Carrie's pain. "It's… strange not having him around"

Carrie nodded. "Hey, at least your loss was a good one" Carrie joked. Lexy didn't like that comment. She was not in the mood for joking.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Lexy asked with a sideways frown.

"That kid was a traitor. I bet he was the one who caused Darwin's death in the first place" Carrie had turned bitter. Lexy was sour about his death, but that doesn't mean she should blame it on Sean. Lexy finally lost her self control.

"Leave, Carrie." She said as calmly as possible.

"What?" Carrie seemed puzzled.

"Get out of my room, Carrie!" She raised her voice. Lexy repeated this again with a yell, and Carrie shrank out of the room. Lexy took a book and chucked it across the room. It broke the teacher's mug. Lexy didn't care. "You're so lucky to have a room alone!" "Solo Lexy!" Lexy muttered to herself, in bitter rage. One is the loneliest number... she thought before shedding a tear of that exact proportion.

Sean's POV

Of course. Just when he thought he'd fit in, he gets thrown out. Of course they were working on a different level than Sean, but he didn't complain. He just did as told. Sean made his way through the water. It had mostly evaporated, but a thin layer up to his shoelaces could still be spotted. You'd think the sewage system would have gotten rid of this by now.

Sean had no direction he was going, just mostly wandering. All he did was wander. He was made to follow, but without a guide, he was a lost puppy. Sean wasn't necessarily about rash decisions, and usually just followed the leader. But Lexy… Lexy was different. Confident, romantic, everything Sean was not. Yet she had gotten attracted towards him, and Sean still felt the ping of that mutuality. It had raged inside his stomach ever since he had left the fucking school. Sean guessed he should find some food, considering all of his was wasted away.

It might still be in the debris they built, but first he'd have to find it. Sean scanned his surroundings and took in ranging shapes of hundreds of pieces of debris. This might take a while.

Carrie's POV

Carrie wasn't dealing with the loss of Darwin well. She wouldn't have dealt with the loss of him as a schoolmate, but as her boyfriend, it was one of the most troubling things she had gone through. And shit, she was a ghost, so she would know about troubling things. But Carrie had upset Lexy and turned bitter. Carrie also felt more malicious, devious.
