     𝕋ℍ𝔼 television once again flipped channels upon my request, a bored sigh escaping me. This bored and lonely feeling was one which I had not felt for a few months. It was a feeling that I had managed to ditch upon meeting Casey Jones.

However, it was as though times had changed back to before I even met him with this despondent feeling crawling its way back into my mind. I could not wrap my head around it—just a few weeks ago Casey, April, and I had been more than fine.

In fact, we had been like a reverse version of the golden trio.

I'm a Harry Potter nerd—don't judge.

But, now, it was even worse than when Casey first met April and was hanging out with her. At least then he still put aside time for me.

It was all going well until one random afternoon when something changed between all of us. Sure, we were still close as ever within the walls of the school, but once we were let out for the day—it was as though the two forgot all about me.

Not only that but suddenly there were secrets between the two that I, under no circumstance, was let in upon. It was not like they had told me either, I was simply able to guess from the glances they would toss one another.

It was unfathomable to me—I had done nothing to deserve that kind of treatment. I missed the days where we hung out all the time after school, where the two would fall asleep at my apartment on school nights. I missed our taco Tuesdays... and Thursdays, Fridays, Mondays, and any other day we wanted Mexican.

Perhaps, I was being overdramatic? No, bitch! We had not hung out outside of school for over a week together now! I know that sounds incredibly pathetic, but when you go from hanging every day to never—you tend to notice the difference.

I had gone from almost every theory possible and only one seems plausible. April and Casey were dating.

I cringed at the thought and mentally groaned, but it was no doubt what I was dealing with here. When they said they could not hang out for various reasons, I knew they were still together most likely off on their own.

It had only been a matter of time anyway, while Casey shamelessly flirted with my mother—it was really April that he had the hots for. April must have grown tired of resisting his... charms and given in.

Still, though, they did not need to hide it from me. Furthermore, even if they were dating that did not mean they could just cut out all our time together. Even if they were making out during the time we all hung out, at least we would be doing just that. Hanging out.

I need to confront them about this!

I sprung from the couch with a quickness, my mind flicking to all the various places around the huge city that they could be. Upon thinking about the different spots, my thoughts wandered back to those four figures I had seen.
