(Uh oh-)
No one's POV:
School had ended and as the children were racing to their buses, Splash, Y/N, Lillie, Ashley, and Paulie were walking to each other's lockers to wait for them as they have done for the past (insert school years) years. As the group reach Ashley's locker, a envelope is found inside. Curious about what it says and despite her friend's warnings, she opens it. Inside is a letter, cute stickers, and a bit of glitter at the bottom of the envelope. (Ew I hate glitter.) Thinking that because the outside was so cutesy and childlike, Ashley believed that the letter was just as sweet and wonderful. They always say not to judge a book by its cover.

Ashley's POV:
I open the letter and read it in my head. You never know, it could be a love letter. I still remember how annoyed Y/N was when we bugged them about having a crush on PJ. Either way, as I kept reading, my happy, cheerful face, fell into a saddened, on the verge of tears face. This letter wasn't what I expected. It read:
"Dear Ms Ashley,
I am sorry to inform you but at 1:30 pm today, your mother had gotten into a car crash. The three people in the car did not make it. Your mother already had a weak heart and this crash only worsened it to the point of death. The other two were children named Jason and Emily. The two survived, but barely. We are sorry to disturb you with this but you should know what happened to your family. We are sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
Surface Hospital"
(This... I'm not crying. WHY AM I NOT CRYI—)
Y/N's POV:
I look at Ashley to see her crying. Oh jeez what happened!? Almost out of instinct, I hug Ashley tight. The others notice this and they try to comfort her as well. After a few minutes, we hear the final call for buses. I really hate to say goodbye, especially at this point where Ashley must feel so lonely. We say our goodbyes and head to the buses. Right after me and Splash got in, the doors closed. I grabbed Splash by the hand (feisty-) and went to the seat we were on in the morning. However, someone was already there. Bunny, and... WAIT IS THAT PJ?! My eyes widened for a little bit before I quickly say "H-hey... You're in our s-seat." Goddamnit. This is the worst time to stutter. The two of them look at each other and then around the seat, trying to find something. After a while, they look back at me. Bunny told Splash and I "I don't see your names on here. So it's not really your seat." With that I could feel my anger rise but it was soon lifted away by the tight grip my friend had as they held my hand. I guess they were still scared about what happened a few days ago and so I glared at Bunny and PJ and we took a seat at the one next to where they were.

Bunny's POV:
I know what this person is trying to do. They're trying to take my seat. Maybe even worse... They could be trying to steal my senpai! (That's what I call my relationship partner—) I won't let them though. He's mine. He has to be! We've known each other for a really REALLY long time! Some feelings towards me should be there by now! But.... What if... He doesn't like me back...? What am I gonna do the—

PJ's POV:
(There's a lot of POV changes today-)
I was joking around with Y/N until I think I said something wrong that set the other dude mad. They then proceeded to kick me, causing me to bump into Bunny. I guess she was thinking or something cause she wasn't as mad as she usually is.

Y/N's POV:
I look over at Splash with the same surprised face I had when we saw PJ and Bunny in our seats. "What was that for??" I whisper-yelled. I don't wanna draw attention to us so I kept my voice to a low. They answer in the same tone. "Still pissed off that he took our seats and what he did last time. This was the only time where I had a good reason to kick him." I gently hit them on the shoulder and we wait to get home. Splash heads to a different direction than where they usually head. I call after them. "Yo Neon! Where you goin'?" "I'm heading to a friend's house! He needs me to help him with something. Never said what tho..!" I chuckle a bit before opening my door. Probably a date. Hehe.

The following day...
Y/N's POV:
"Sooo.... What did you guys do yesterday....?" The group and I are at lunch again. We all look at Splash deviously as they were all filled in on what was gonna happen. Splash looks at us surprised. "H-Huh? What are you talking abo—" Their eyes widen, realizing what I did. (Wow Ashley. Got over your mother's death that fast? Wow.) They suddenly turn red and their glasses go from question marks to all exclamation points. (Wait- if they have glasses and you see their eyes widen and— you know what. I give up.) "N-nothing happened..! How can you think like that?!?!" We all giggle but Splash just fumes with anger as their glasses spell out 'not cool!' They look up for a bit and I guess they notice someone special (wink wink nudge nudge) because I swore I could've seen their glasses flash hearts for a second before returning to the 'not cool!' They had earlier. I look around to see if I can find this person but... Splash never told us what they looked like so... I asked the question. "But... Anyways, Splash? What's his name? I seriously wanna know." They blush a little more and the others giggle a bit more. "S-shut up guys...! He's not even that important. He's just a friend. His name's Vintage. (Senpai if you're reading this, I have no regrets and òwó) Asked me if he could help with his homework... That's it..!" Paulie starts scribbling something down in her notebook. She then draws hearts and more words around it. "Vintage x Splash".

Author's note:
What. Does. Ashley's mom's death. Have to do with this story. I mean I guess I just wanted a death in here so... Either way, I'm not sure on what to write about. Somehow, we're focusing more on your friends than yourself. We gonna change that. Anyways, this story ain't gonna have lemons. I'm sorry for those people. I just want to avoid it because it makes me extremely uncomfortable. Also, I'm sorry I haven't posted last week as I planned to. I kinda forgot I had a story on here and uh.... yeah. Anyways, good night light y'all!
