"Hey guys," Leo approached Noah and Bella.
"So, Leo, who's Faye?" Noah asked, trying very hard to sound casual.
Bella buried her face into her hands.
"W-what?"
"And April?"
"May," Bella 'corrected.'
"Right... May." Noah said.
Bella shook her head.
"What are you talking about?" Leo narrowed his eyes.
"You don't remember?" Noah asked, surprised. Well, it's no wonder, you were probably high."
"I thought that was a dream."
"You thought you were dreaming? About me?" Noah fluttered his eyelashes, and his glasses fell off.
"Not just about you, don't be stuck-up, Noah. He was dreaming about me too."
"But he wasn't dreaming," Noah explained, picking up his glasses.
"Exactly," Bella said confidently.
Noah looked so confused, Leo couldn't help feel sorry for him.
This was one of Bella's strategies. She learned that she could say something completely false in such confidence that it could make people feel like a fool for not seeing it.
Noah turned back to Leo. "So who's May?"
"June," Leo corrected.
"Come on!"
"You mean June."
"Okay... her. Who's June?"
"She was... my friend. From when I was younger."
Bella glanced up at Leo. Whenever Bella looked at him like that, he started suspecting his own stories. But this one wasn't a lie.
"Well, where is she now?"
"She's dead," Leo replied flatly. This, on the other hand, was one of Leo's strategies. Leo learned that when he wanted to avoid talking of a subject, he could just drop a bomb, one that will teach others to be more cautious with this topic.
"...Oh," Noah took a minute to register this. Bella just looked away, making her reaction impossible to read.
