Third Person
Jonah darted out of the spoon after Matias. He started walking down the sidewalk towards Matias. As the distance closed he was about to call his name but a girl appeared from a bench. Jonah slowed his walk and watched as Matias put his arm around the girls shoulders. Jonah watching, now felt pings of anger and jealousy come and go. He turned around now noticing he left his phone on the table at the spoon and with the feeling of defeat.

"You good Jonah?" Buffy asked.

"Why would I be good when I constantly have to chase after people? I'm completely tired of it!" Jonah said. He hit his fists against the table drawing the attention of the entire diner.

"Whoa Jonah... just calm-"

"Shut up Cyrus you don't understand the half of it." Jonah spat at Cyrus. Causing a awkward silence to fall over everyone. Jonah eventually breaks it.

"For now on... people come to me first." Jonah said in a lie tone before standing up and walking out the spoon once again. The words he said resonated with both Andi and Cyrus. As they both feel equally has bad for him and felt partial responsibility.

Cyrus feel as if he gave Jonah false hope, something Cyrus knows all too well. This understanding makes Cyrus want to work Jonah's confidence back up. The way to do that however, seems unclear.

Tj's pov
*Next day after school*
"God I love party's. Don't you love party's? I think party's are grea-"

"Alright Marty... what did you accidentally intake now? Did you take the "mint" from Kyle?" I say cutting him off.

"No... I'm just super excited for the party." He says. I roll my eyes.

"Dude, it's not that big of a deal. It's just a bunch of friends hanging out. It's not like you getting any."

"Your right it's not that big of a- hey... it's not like your getting anything either." Marty says.

"Right... that's a bridge we have yet to cross, good luck crossing it."

"Shut up Tj..."

I hear my phone ringing from out of my book bag. I take it out and see Cyrus calling.

"Hey Cyrus!" I say.

"Tj, did you make it home yet?" Cyrus says.

"No... why?"

"Alright good. I need you to feed the snake, me and Buffy have to distract Andi while Bex, Bowie and Daniel set up."

"Can it wait?" I ask. "I have no desire to hit today."

"The longer you wait, the more nippier it gets."

"Fine... I'll feed the snake." I say.

"Thanks! Gotta go, I love you." Cyrus says. Knowing Marty is next to me I lower my voice.

"I love you too."

I hang up the phone and see Marty grinning at me.

"What?"

"Nothing..." Marty says.

"What are you think about?"

"Nothing... absolutely nothing...

Matias' pov
I was walking in the park when I passed Gus on one of the benches with a Frisbee in his hands.

"Hey Gus!" I say. He looks up slowly.

"Oh, hey Matias." Gus says in a low tone.

"What's wrong? Ultimate practice can't be that hard..."
