"Hey Izsac!" Phil chirps walking up to Izsac and Caspian.
"Hey," Izsac responds smiling. "Everything all right at home?"
"Yeah everything's good," Phil says faking a smile. "Anna's having a rough week."
"Anna?" Izsac asks.
"Johanna," Phil corrects himself. "Don't call her Anna, she'd stab you."
Caspian thinks he's joking at first, but Phil doesn't laugh and looks dead serious. Caspian's about to say something to Izsac but sees him staring at Phil.
He thinks that Izsac is beginning to like Phil better than him but he knows that isn't true. He's pretty sure they are going to be dating by the end of the semester. Hell, probably before Winter break. He makes a mental note to ask him later.
He's pulled out of his thoughts when Johanna strolls over looking confident as ever.
"Hey guys," she says nodding at them in greeting.
Phil gives her a strange look before leaning down his head and whispering in her ear.
All he catches is Johanna's response which is, 'I can handle this.' Phil just looks at her strangely again before turning back to us.
"Sorry," he says apologetically more at Izsac than me. "Just, um, it's been rough."
Johanna steps next to him and clears his throat.
"Weird question," she begins. "But do you have any enemies Cas?"
There's the old nickname.
"Not really," he replies awkwardly rubbing his neck. "I mean you but I don't know anymore."
She rolls her eyes and sighs.
"This is extremely serious Cas," she says crossing her arms. "This is bigger than you."
"Bigger than me? What do you mean-"
"Never mind," she scoffs as Phil's eyes widen at her. "Just tell me the truth."
"Well there was this one kid in 2nd grade-"
"You seriously have no one that could hate you?"
"Nah he's a good guy," Izsac says casually leaning against the wall. "Like A+ teachers pet kinda good."
Johanna looks genuinely offended.
"What do you do for fun?" She asks confusedly.
"Video games and social media," Caspian answers easily.
She sighs and rubs her eyes.
"You sir, need to learn to live a little."

"Hello Cassie."
"Carlos?"
"Hey."
"Where are you? It's awfully dark in here."
"I'm places."
"Places as in...?"
"None of your business."
Caspian rolls his eyes at his brothers voice.
"Why am I even asking. You're not even real."
"I can assure you I'm real."
"This is a dream. I remember falling asleep."
"Not a dream, a vison."
