Lynnon-" Just… before you go… could you maybe get my crutches?"
(Ezekiel's eyes widen and he jolts back)
Ezekiel-" Crutches?! How badly did you hurt yourself?"
(Lynnon nervously smiles)
Ezekiel-" What happened?"
Lynnon-" I sprained my ankle while skating yesterday"
Ezekiel-" And you need crutches?"
Lynnon-" It was bad. The doctor said If my ankle moved any more than it did, I would've broken it"
(Lynnon looks down at her foot. The black brace annoyed her. Lynnon makes a disappointed face while looking back at Ezekiel)
Lynnon-" And now I can't skate for 2 months. That's so long!"
(Ezekiel looks down at her ankle)
Ezekiel-" As long as you're ok…"
Lynnon-" Well I'm fine NOW. I just can't put pressure on it for a bit"
Ezekiel-" ...And you ran to me last night?!"
Lynnon-" Well yeah… I had to make sure you were ok…"
(Lynnon looks down at Ezekiel's torso, still wearing the clothing he was in yesterday)
Ezekiel-" So you really care about me that much huh?"
(Lynnon looks back up, all flustered)
Lynnon-" That's- I mean- Weren't you tired?!"
Ezekiel-" Yes. And I still am, but I'm afraid I can't get up if you're sitting on my lap"
Lynnon-" Right! Sorry!"
(Lynnon begins to stand up)
Ezekiel-" Be careful"
(Lynnon holds onto Ezekiel's hand as she stood to make sure she didn't fall. She gets up and continues to stand on one foot. Ezekiel stands himself which allows Lynnon to sit back down)
Ezekiel-" Let me go get your crutches"
(Ezekiel begins to walk a little)
Lynnon-" And my phone please!"
(Ezekiel nods and continues to walk. He heads to her room and straight away he sees the crutches laid messily on the floor at the head of her bed. He walks up to it while having another yawn)
Ezekiel-" Jeez, I really need to go to bed"
(Ezekiel bends down and next to the crutches was Lynnon's phone with a small crack in the corner. Perfect. He grabs her things and walks back to her)
Ezekiel-" Here you go"
(Lynnon takes her things. She places the crutches on the floor, parallel to the couch, and she holds her phone in her lap)
Lynnon-" Thanks"
Ezekiel-" Mhm"
(Ezekiel says as he rubs his face. He walks off and into his room afterward. He falls asleep in less than a few minutes and Lynnon is left alone in the living room. She opens her phone remembers everything. Lynnon just looks at the contact responsible)
[Hikaru]
(But it was Fumiko who was talking. There's no way he just let her do that stuff without knowing. Lynnon and Hikaru thought basically the same thing about Fumiko so there was no way, right? Either way, Lynnon was furious. She didn't want to talk to Fumiko OR Hikaru. Lynnon looks over towards Ezekiel's room, thinking about him)
Lynnon-" I can't tell him about what happened. He'd freak out…"
(Lynnon sighs, overwhelmed and frustrated because of the situation. She goes through the contact settings and presses a singular button, blocking Hikaru's contact. The next day, Ezekiel walks Lynnon to class, holding her belongings as they did. Suddenly someone walks up next to them)
Nori-" Woah girl. What happened to you?"
(Lynnon looks over at Nori)
Lynnon-" I got mauled by a tiger"
Nori-" Wow. Way to go out"
(The two girls laugh at her joke. Nori looks over at Ezekiel who was carrying double his stuff)
Nori-" Do you need any help with that?"
Ezekiel-" I'm good"
Nori-" You sure?"
Ezekiel-" It's ok. It's not that heavy anyway"
Nori-" Ooook then"
(Nori leans back forward and begins to talk with Lynnon, talking a bit quieter than before)
Nori-" Look at you gurl~. Having Ezekiel Imai carry your things for you"
(Though she was talking quietly, Ezekiel could still hear her. He smiles and rolls his eyes at her comment/compliment)
Lynnon-" It's nothing really"
Nori-" Mk. Sure"
(Nori giggles. The three of them reach their art class. They walk in and see Hikaru already sitting at the table. He looks over at them and his eyes widen. Nori and Ezekiel had no different thoughts on Hikaru than any other time but rage rushes through Lynnon. Hikaru quickly gets up as the three of them continue to walk to the table)
Hikaru-" Lynnon! Are you ok!?-"
Lynnon-" I'm fine"
(Lynnon says with an angry expression. She doesn't stop to say it either. She just continues to walk, passing him. He looks at Nori and she just shrugs. Ezekiel continues to follow Lynnon and he places her things down where she says to. He gets close to her ear and they talk to one another through whispers)
Ezekiel-" Did something happen between you and Hikaru? You seem mad"
(Lynnon refuses to tell Ezekiel. She shakes her head)
Lynnon-" I'll see you later"
(Ezekiel steps away from her)
Ezekiel-" Ok…"
(Ezekiel begins to walk away, making eye contact with Hikaru. Something was going on, he could tell by the look in his eyes. Ezekiel leaves and the class starts)
Hikaru-" Lynnon. I need to talk to you"
(Lynnon begins to have a bitter attitude towards Hikaru)
Hikaru-" Please, just let me talk to you. After class"
(The class finishes and as Nori reached for Lynnons things, Hikaru gets to them first. The two girls look at Hikaru)
Hikaru-" I'll help her, Nori. Thank you though"
Nori-" Well um…"
(Nori looks down at Lynnon who wasn't looking at her)
Nori-" Ok… I'll see you later Lynnon"
(Nori leaves the room and waves goodbye, leaving Lynnon and Hikaru to be the last in the room. Lynnon gets up from her seat)
Hikaru-" Lynnon I really need to talk to you"
Lynnon-" What is it?"
Hikaru-" It's about Ezekiel"
(This basically confirmed it! He knew about everything. Lynnon becomes even angrier)
Hikaru-" Fumiko… she did something. Horrible"
Lynnon-" So you knew?!"
(Hikaru becomes surprised)
Lynnon-" You knew this whole time that she would tell me he was DEAD! What the fuck is wrong with you!"
Hikaru-" Hey. I had no idea she would go that far"
Lynnon-" Bullshit! It's Fumiko we're talking about. Who would joke about someone's death, the same goes for you who let her do it! Both of you are sick and twisted mother fuckers!"
Hikaru-" Lynnon, it's not my fault! I never wanted that to happen to you!"
(Lynnon shakes her head)
Lynnon-" I don't want to talk to you"
(Hikaru walks up to her)
Hikaru-" Please Lynnon I-"
(Lynnon slaps his hand away from touching her)
Lynnon-" Don't touch me!"
(Hikaru and her make eye contact, the fire in her eyes burn him. He knew their relationship was over in that instant)
