Maria turned around to see her friend, Gwyn. "Hey Gwyn!" She smiled sweetly. "W-Well-" Maria was about to speak when Alex showed up. 'Thank goodness,' She sighed in her mind. She wasn't sure she was ready to say anything, much less be called crazy by her friends. She giggled softly at Alex's playful flirting. Maria never felt attracted to him, more as, she looked at him as a little brother sometimes. "Hi Alex," She smiled at him happily and gave him a hug. "We're just talking, how about you? Shouldn't you be in class?" She laughed quietly but then felt her phone vibrate. 'Hm? Azalea?' She thought glancing at her phone. She read the text and replied: 'Yes! I'm free after my class.' She sent the text and glanced over to Gwyn. 'I hope she's okay,' Maria thought a little concerned. Maria walked with her friends but felt a slight shiver as she remembered her dream. 'He was so convincing, as if what he told me was all true...' She sighed in her mind. 'b-but it's all impossible. I shouldn't let a dream interfere with my say...right?' She sighed again, something she's been doing a lot of.
Damien chuckled at Flynn's remarks and on purpose, blew a puff of smoke in Flynn's face. Damien chuckled and slapped Flynn's back as Flynn started to look troubled. Once Flynn was done with his worrisome words, Damien answered. "Yeah, he watches me, but my minds constantly on where my beloved Azalea is, so I don't notice it much." He smiled at Flynn. "Same here." He said as his attention went back up to the stars. He took another puff from his cigarette before speaking, "Azalea really hated me smoking these things.. But, now I get to smoke a whole bunch while she's gone." He laughed at his own words, even thought they made it sound a little like now that she was gone he was free but, that wasn't the case. "But, right now, I'd never smoke another one in my life if it would bring her back..." He sighed, knowing full well that those deep words are rarely heard from his mouth. He through his cigarette into the water and jumped up on the banister, suddenly being energetic. "We've just got to try harder, that's all!" He said happily, trying to cheer Flynn and himself up.
