PENCIL's POV
It's been a month since me and Leafy got back together. Every time I see Needle, Pin, Coiny and Firey, I just get mad at them. Well Coiny tries to talk to Leafy and is nice to her so Bubble and Ice Cube trusts him. I don't even acknowledge him. In fact, me and my alliance bully Firey , Pin and Needle. We couldn't say why we torment them because Leafy says it'll ruin Firey's reputation but it felt good to hurt them.

BUBBLE's POV
I look at a photo.
It was me, Leafy and Firey when we were all in 4th grade. I remembered us being the 3 most popular students.
Now only Firey is the most popular because he told everyone what happened between him and Leafy. Coiny isn't buying any of it but me and Ice Cube can see why people hate Leafy. She just expects a lot out of everything.

PENCIL's POV

It was Christmas night and Leafy was really sad. I walked over to her bed and began cuddled her, trying to cheer her up.
"What's wrong my baby?" I whisper into her ears. "I wanted to give Firey a present but Needle stopped me." "Fuck Needle." I tell Leafy looking through her stuff. "Pencil, what are you doing?" Leafy asked a bit concerned. I find an Orange box and hand it to Leafy. "Is this the present?" I ask. Leafy nodded, holding onto it tightly. "Well let's go give it to Firey." I said tossing her green jacket to her face. "Right now?" Leafy asked. I nodded. "I could see him along with Coiny and their loser friends hanging out in the snow. Fun fact, Coiny left Firey for Pin and they don't know were dating. I'll get Match and we'll be on our way.

FIREY's POV

Hanging out with all my friends and dumb Coiny is super awesome. We all played in the snow and acted like little kids.

"You made me miss TD's sleepover FOR THIS!?" Needle asked, annoyed.

"Needz, you could just go." Coiny said. "Yeah right, you three always have to act like children. I'm not letting you out of my sight because I'll be blamed for your dumb mistakes." "You're more of a child here than any of us." Pin said. "Whatever." Needle rolled her eyes. "I'm going over to that bench and tell TD that you three are doing dumb stuff, if anything happens right now, I'm going to walk up to you all and slap you all across the face for being idiots."

"Yeesh Needle, you need to calm down." I said. "Whatever." Needle said.

Anyways, I decided to walk to the nearest bathroom, when someone stopped me.

Crap.

Pencil.

With her was Match.

NOBODY'S POV

"Well well well. If it isn't the big loser!" Pencil sneered. "Says you, I'm the most popular kid at our school." Firey said, walking away. "Yeah and we're also popular and yet here you are, being scared of me." Pencil said. "What do you want?" Pin yelled, Coiny and Needle behind her. "Just die." Pencil said. "You were always so harsh now you're being even more harsher, what's your problem?" Pin said. "You are." Pencil said. "Pencil, let's just get it over with." Match said. Leafy walked up to Pencil and gave her some boxes. An orange one, a red one, a yellow one and a silver one.

"Listen. Leafy here worked her ass to give you all these gifts so you better appreciate them." Pencil snarled. Coiny looked at Leafy, who was blushing. "Thanks Leafy, you didn't have to. I didn't bring a gift but I'll give it tomorrow." he said chuckling nervously. Leafy smiled. "It's fine." she said quietly. "Who's Leafy?" Firey asked.

PENCIL's POV

I was about to beat the fucking hell out of Firey but Coiny was already doing it. Pin tried to stop the two while Needle just left.

Me, Leafy and Match were walking home when Leafy realized she forgot to give the gifts.

We went back to see the fight still going so we just found Needle instead.

"What do you three want?" Needle asked, annoyed. "We forgot to give you these gifts." Leafy said quietly Needle sighed and took the gifts, then we heard footsteps and the four of us looked to see Pin walking towards us. "Fight still going?" Needle asked, handing Pin two of the boxes.
"Yeah." Pin said. "If they get arrested, it's on them." Pin looked at us. "What are they doing here?" Pin asked Needle, who shook the boxes. Pin still didn't know I was dating Leafy, so I kissed her. Pin, with rage in her face began to attack me but I pushed back. When Pin fell onto the snow, I saw what was in the background someone familiar going into a thrift shop.

someone with a blue ballcap and roller skates.

PEN's POV

Life was really boring. I'm glad the whole ME COMMITING SUICIDE thing died down and everyone's over it.
It was starting to get real cold so I decided to exchange the clothes that I got from the grey psycho for new ones at a thrift shop.

Seeing how it was Christmas night, I didn't expect that many people to be here but I saw a few people in here.

NOBODY's POV

Pen noticed a cashier reading a newspaper and so Pen walked up to them. "Um excuse me." Pen said. "Yes." The cashier said, without looking but managed to get a good look at Pen.
"Is there any chance I could trade these clothes?" Pen asked holding the black dress.
"Sure thing but you need to wait right here. Even if you're being hunted and getting caught I need you to stay here." Pen was shocked. Not because of what the cashier said, but because they seemed and looked familiar. Even with the newspaper hiding their face, Pen remembered being friends with someone who would say something like that.
Unfortunately, while Pen was thinking his face was covered, and so was his mouth. "Okay Ben, I have two people who want to see you!"

PEN's POV
Wait. Why does this person seem so familiar?
AND HOW DO THEY KNOW MY LEGAL NAME?
When I was able to see again, I saw two of my old friends staring at me.
Liy Switch and Remote Channel.

I remembered Tree introducing me to them. Such nostalgia.
"So, I guess you're ready." Liy said with a smirk.
My face grew with embarrassment and awkwardness. "I remember Tree saying he was moving out with you. Yet you ditched him." "LIY! I CAN EXPLAIN!" I said. "I was scared and sad that I wouldn't see Pencil Topper again. I liked Tree but I remembered all the times me and Pencil Topper had. Then I got blamed for something I didn't do." "And look where you are now." Liy said. Then she took a deep breathe. "Ben..." "It's Pen now actually." I said. "Exactly." Liy said. "Pen, you can't just run away from your problems like a broken mess. The entire school was worried about you!" "She's right you now." I turned around and saw Pillow Fluffy. The cashier who brought me into this room. "Tree also felt sad that you didn't join him. He's moved on Pen, and we're glad you did the same. But Pen was suicide really the answer!?" Remote asked. I was speechless. "Maybe at the time, but Pen there are people who care for you. Like us! We had to get a job here just to find you!"
"What about your parents?" I asked. "Kicked us out for dating." Liy said. "That's it. I don't see anything wrong with dating. Parents date." I said. "I told my homophobic parents I was dating two other girls." Liy said. I was shocked. "Still the same Ben." Pillow said. "Well Trees with Blackhole now. Bottle is staying with us. Pen, why don't you stay over at our house. It's Christmas after all." Liy said. "Um okay." I said. "Can I just get my stuff first." "Liy, go with Pen to his stuff or whatever and make sure he doesn't do anything stupid again. Me and Remote have some catching up to do." Pillow said.

Oh yeah, I forgot Remote was staying with Tree and Black Hole half the time.

Anyways, as we got out, Liy shoved me in the snow. Guess I can't blame her, she gave me a lecture on what i did was fucked up and I was a complete idiot ever since we met.

After a while, she calmed down and told me to get my stuff and trusts me to come back to the Thrift Shop.

I saw no harm and went to get my stuff.
It wasn't that much but on my way, I heard something.

"Hey like stop." I heard a voice and turned around. I saw three girls starring at me. But they weren't Liy, Remote or Pillow. I think I saw them before at the strip club. Except for the one with the green stuff or whatever. In the background I saw two boys slapping each other. I wondered if they were with these three.
"Aren't you like that kid who likes sits at that strippers club all day long?" The girl with a maroon beanie pointed to the strippers club I sat at all the time. I haven't been there in a while after the Double Pencil incident. I just nodded, not saying anything and slowly backing away. But the three girls walked closer to me. "What Is your like name like anyways." The girl with the maroon beanie asked. I was a bit quiet. But then I heard a voice. "PEN!" I turned around and saw Liy walking up to me. "Pen don't tell me you and that green haired blessing were hanging out with these two dweebs." Liy said, grabbing my hand. "Uh..." I said. "Liy, what the fuck do you want?" The girl with an Orange dress said. Sorry this is the only way I see to define which person I'm talking about. And this Orange one grabbed my other hand, dropping all my stuff.
And by stuff, I mean sneakers filled with ink packages. Liy letted go of my hand and gave me the sneakers. I haven't worn these ever since I bought those roller skates.
"Come on Pen." Liy said to me, and I fallowed.
