SketchBook's POV:

"Omg.. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT WORKED!" I shout excitedly. Black Hole looks at me. "SketchBook?" He says. I wave at him. He touches his face. "How am I.. alive?" He asks me. "Dahlia revived you." I say. "Oh, and you have a white streak on your hair." I added. "Wait, what?-" "That's the side effect of when you get revived." Dahlia says. Dahlia looks at Black Hole. "Also.. you need to shower." She says. Black Hole stands up. "How long was I dead?" Black Hole asks Dahlia. "Hmm... About... three months, I guess." She says. "Wha-" "C'mon, you need a shower." Dahlia says as she dragged Black Hole out of the basement. I follow behind. We reach the living room.

"Stay here, I'll get your clothes." Dahlia says as she leaves the room. I sit down on the couch. Black Hole looks around the house. "Do you live here?" Black Hole asks me. "Yeah." I reply. "I thought you lived with your parents?" Black Hole says as he looks at me. "Well... Something happened to them." I say. Dahlia comes back. She walks to Black Hole. She gives Black Hole clothes and a towel. "Here's a towel and your clothes." Dahlia says. "SketchBook, can you guide him to the bathroom?" Dahlia asks me. I nod. "Follow me." I say as I stand up.We walk through the halls in the house. "Dahlia's house is big.." Black Hole says as he looks around. "Yep.. She's kinda rich." I say. We continue walking. We reach the bathroom. "Here's the bathroom." I say.

"If you're done showering, just go back to the living room." I tell him. I walk away. I reach the living room. I sit down on the couch. I turn on my phone. I started to watch tiktok videos. A few minutes go by. A notification pops up on my phone. I checked the notification. It's my best friend. She texted me, "I love you :)." I blush slightly. I smile. I reply back with, "I love you too <3" We continue chatting with each other. I kinda hope that someday that she'll like me back because I have a crush on her. I actually confessed my feelings to her when we were in grade 5. We finished talking. I turn off my phone. Black Hole walks in. "Hey SketchBook!.. Why are you blushing?" Black Hole asks me. "It's nothing!" I say. Black Hole sits down next to me. "Black Hole, do you miss Tree?" I ask him. Black Hole nods slowly.
Silence fills the room. I opened my phone and clicked the gallery icon. I started to watch videos of me and my classmates. Black Hole looks at my phone. "What're you watching?" Black Hole asks me. "Just watching videos of my classmates.." I say.

I scroll through the videos until I reach the video where I accidentally kiss my best friend. In the video, my classmates and I are in a line. We were passing our activities to our teacher. My phone was left recording on my chair. I was just talking to my best friend. She was in front of me. We were joking about kissing each other. Someone suddenly pushed me from behind. I accidentally kissed my best friend on the lips. I stand there, frozen. My classmates burst out laughing. Then, the video ends. "Woah, you have a girlfriend?" Black Hole asks me. "What? No.. I'm too young for that..." I say. "Wait... How old are you?" Black Hole questions me. "Twelve years old.." I say. "What. You look like you're fifteen years old." Black Hole says. "I know.. My family members have been saying that to me.." I say. Dahlia walks in. "Guys, do you want spaghetti for dinner?" Dahlia asks me and Black Hole. "Yeah." We both say at the same time. We look at each other. "JINX!" I shout. ".. What does 'jinx' mean?" Black Hole asks. "When you both say the same word at the same time, you shout the word 'jinx'. It makes you.. mute, I guess. You can talk if someone says your name." I explain to him. Dahlia leaves the room.

A few minutes go by, and Dahlia enters the room again. "Dinner's ready!" Dahlia tells us. I stand up. "C'mon, let's go eat." I say. Black Hole stands up. We walk to the kitchen. We walk to the table and sit down. We start eating. "Yummy!" I continue eating. I finished eating. I put my plate in the sink. "I'm going to my room." I say as I walk away. "Hey! You forgot to wash your plate!" Dahlia says. "Oh. I forgot about that." I say. I go back to the sink. I wash my plate. "I'm done washing my plate. I'm going to my room, bye!" I walk away. I enter my room. I lock the door, and I fall onto my bed. I fall asleep.

Black Hole's POV:

I finished eating. I put my plate in the sink. "Black Hole, I'll wash your plate. You can go wait in the living room." Dahlia says as she finishes eating. I nod. I walk to the living room. I sit down on the couch. I wait for Dahlia. A few minutes go by. Dahlia enters the room. "C'mon, I'll show you to your room." She says. I stand up. We start walking. "Dahlia." "Yes?" "When do I go back to Tree?" Dahlia pauses for a moment."I.. I haven't thought of that.." She says. We continue walking. We reach the guest room. "You'll be staying here for awhile.." Dahlia says. "I'll be going now." Dahlia walks away. I open the door. I walk to the bed. I lay down. I fall asleep.
