Monday was here. Andy slowly dragged along his suitcase to the front lobby of the school, where the students were supposed to wait.

He didn't know how to feel about the news he was told last Monday. Honey had a new boyfriend. Tadashi was her first, but now she moved on. To Andy that was almost like him getting a new best friend, because Tadashi wasn't here with them it seems like he hadn't existed.

He had never seen Mark around the college, he didn't even know if he went to the school. Andy had no idea how he looked like either. How could he be sure that this guy was right for Honey? He'd break her heart, or something, Andy was sure of it.

At the front lobby Andy saw Fawn, and the Wendy girl. He turned up his music a little more, and waited for the rest to arrive. He felt a little pang of guilt in his chest. He had been ignoring Fawn all break. He knew it'd be a good time to distance himself, since he didn't want to burden Fawn with all his emotions.

"Hey."

He had been too stuck in his thoughts to notice Fawn had flown beside him.

"Oh, hi Fawn."

"So...have you been ignoring me? Or am I just going crazy?"

Andy sighed. "Yes. But it wasn't personal, it's just...much better for you if I'm not in your life."

Fawn moved over so he was forced to look at her face. "I think I have a decent judgment on what's good for my life. I don't see how your friendship wouldn't be."

"All my problems—"

"Everyone has their problems Andy! Yours might be bigger than others, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stay away from you. I want to help."

Andy stared at his shoes.

"Look at me." Fawn placed her hand on his cheek and made him face her eyes. "I want to help. Will you let me?"

Andy's instant reaction was to pull Fawn's hand away from his cheek, but instead his hand just rested there, on hers.

"Yeah," he said. "You can help."

Jane hugged her best friend tightly. "Bye Esme! I'll miss you a lot, but don't worry I'll be back before you know it!"

Esmeralda laughed. "I know Jane, it's only a week. It's you I'm worried about. Tarzan's going, and I notice you seem to get vocally impaired when around him."

Jane sighed. "I know, so I plan to avoid him the entire trip. But what will you do—"

"Avoid who?"

Jane could just hear the smile in his voice. She turned around and looked into the seafoam green eyes of Tarzan.

"Um, well...you know, uh—"

"Don't worry about it Tarzan." Esmeralda waved at him, then turned Jane around to face her again. "As for what I'll do? I'll think of something."

Esmeralda grinned as Jane stepped away from a confused Tarzan, and then left.

As Esmeralda was walking, she bumped into Elsa, who happened to be holding a lot of books with loose papers. Elsa tumbled to the floor and the papers and books went flying. Elsa desperately grabbed for some of them while Esmeralda got a hold on one.

It was a picture of a guy with striking pale blue eyes, light skin, and whitish hair. He reminded Esmeralda of Elsa.

"Woah, Elsa is this a genderbend of you? It looks amazing! So realistic! You must have put a great amount of effort into this."
