---Ike's pov---

I don't understand why he's crying and it's upsetting me.

"What's the m-"

"Ikkkke!"

I look up and see Karen running towards me.

Firkle looks at the ground.

"Hey Karen?"

"Hey, I came to make sure you were okay last night after you left. No one knew where you were! I know I'm not with you anymore, but I was still really worried! Don't do that!" She says crossing her arms.

I stare at her, and then she nods her head towards Firkle, then mouths 'what's happening?'

I shrug, "I'm sorry about that, I was at a friends," I move my head slightly towards Firkle who's still looking at the ground.

What I told Firkle was true, but I excluded the part where she decides she would help me get with him. I mean, that's not something you normally want to tell someone.

Karen uncrossed her arms, 'What are you doing?' She mouths to me, looking concerned.

I shrug, 'dono.' She rolls her eyes.

"Anyway, I guess I'll leave you guys alone... Sorry for intruding," then she mouthed for me to text her later.

I sighed and watched her walk away.

"Do you want to go home?" Firkle asks looking up.
