Tony Padilla stood at the same park as Chad Beaumont, Chad was confused on why Tony even approached him but like always he had his theory.

According to Justin Foley, Jessica Davies and Alex's conversation, Tony somehow knew about the tapes.

He hoped he was wrong as he was crying tears of pity for the girl and what she had been through, especially during his tape.

"May I sit?" The short student asked while Chad wiped away some leftover tears as he nodded, not finding words or maybe not giving it a try. "I know we don't know each other, that much but I was driving by and noticed you were - crying -" Tony spoke but was quickly interrupted by Chad.

"I wasn't crying. Something got into my eyes, you know the pollen and stuff." Chad spoke looking into the green endless grass after sniffing, feeling a drip fall from his nose.

"Well, thats a - typical line, isn't it?" Tony spoke with a laughing tone dripping in his voice.

Even Chad chuckled for a bit.

"Well, sometimes it actually happens." Chad spoke finally making eye contact with the hazel eyed boy, taking notice of every flaw on the boy's face which were not many.

He quickly looked away in a type of embarrassment.

"It does, but it didn't to you." Tony spoke still looking at the boy who he thought that personally was very mysterious, in a weirdly good way. "I know - what you're listening to."

Tony said, catching Chad's attention who looked again at his hazel eyes, his crystal eyes demanding the short student to continue.

"She was my friend too." Tony said, this time he was the one to look away, his eyes moving to his own hands while playing with his ring that was around his middle finger.

"I'm sorry." Chad spoke, trying to give a sort of consolation to the tanned boy. "She seemed like a very kind person."

"According to the tapes, you knew exactly how kind she was." Tony said, this time his eyes wandered to the same  place as Chad's eyes were fixated on. "Do you want to tell me how or what made you turn off instantly?"

Chad thought about the question the boy had just asked him, the boy with the shiny hair went back to his memory, his very vivid and regretful memory.

Chad walked to school, the sun already peaking out from the clouds, spreading heat all over Chad's body.

He jumped up the steps to the entrance and walked inside, an unusual smile was creeped on Chad's face.

He recognised the voice of his best friend Justin Foley who seemed to be in a heated conversation with Chad's senior friends Bryce Walker.

"Sup." Chad spoke, leaning against the locker next to the two boys, catching them off guard.

"Beaumont, had fun with your new girlfriend? Apparently she goes to innocent looking boys." Bryce spoke with a dreadful smirk on his face.

"No- were really just friends." Chad spoke slightly trembling, afraid for the sake of his reputations.

"Well, you know her reputation around school. Don't you?" Justin asked closing his locker.

"Of course I do but she deserves to have friends, she's a good person." Chad said before starting to walk to class along with the two.

"She's a disease." Justin Foley spoke, causing turbulence in Chad's mind.
