"...Is Laurance."

"What?"

ᏔᎪᎡNᏆNᏩ, ᏔᎪᎡNᏆNᏩ!

Out of the blue, my broken heart and I are being puppeted out of rehearsal. Until, I'm finally  deposited him outside the school. I spun around, glaring at ZANE.

What was that about?

"I know! That's why I got you!" I accidentally yelled verbally, out of frustration. Thank Irene no one was around.

I want Vylad.

YᎾᏌ'ᎡᎬ ᏚᏌᎡᎬ ᎪᏴᎾᏌᎢ ᎢᎻᎪᎢ?

I held firm, narrowing my eyes. ZANE crossed his arms, sighing.

ᏙᎬᎡY ᏔᎬᏞᏞ.

So how can I get him?

YᎾᏌ ᏟᎪN'Ꭲ.

"What?!" Oops. I need to work on yelling at ZANE inside my head.

All of the sudden, I'm...sobbing uncontrollably? What the fuck? ZANE can do that? I wiped at my eyes, noticing Kawaii~Chan stroll around the corner- looking worried. Great. Perfect timing, ZANE...

"Dante! I've been looking for you," Kawaii~Chan jogged over, resting her hand on my shoulder comfortingly.

I spoke through awkward tears, and sobs, "I'm sorry, I don't know...why I'm crying."

"I do."

"You do?"

"And I totally understand. They're saying it was a freak hockey accident," Kawaii~Chan frowned, pulling me into a hug.

Heh?

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh my Irene, you don't know!" KC gasped, holding a hand over her mouth, as a small tear pricked at the corner of her yellow eye. "Eminem's dead!"

"Eminem’s dead!?" What the fuck?!

"I mean, I was never into him because he was like super old and kinda mean to women, but I know you liked him so..," Kawaii~Chan rambled on, and I turned to glare at ZANE.

Did you know this was going to happen?

ᎾF ᏟᎾᏌᎡᏚᎬ NᎾᎢ.

So it's a coincidence you told me to wear this shirt?
