-???'s Pov-

I looked up from the book I was reading to see a black bear standing at the doorway, panting heavily. He looked like he ran a marathon or something.

He quickly shook it off and walked up to a girl, who looked like a clown.

Hey, don't think of the wrong thing. I'm not being mean or anything, she really does. She has white skin, while her orangish-red hair was in pigtails. She wore a red jacket and some jeans. The reason why I said she looked like a clown is because the nose looks like a red one that those ripoffs wear.

Now that was rude.

I shrugged it off and continued to look at them.

Hey, I know it's rude to stare. But something about them..interested me. Especially that bear...

I saw them talk a bit, I'm guessing thinking about what they were going to order.

The bear looked at the circus clown and had sort of a worried and guilty expression on his face at the same time. I wonder what for.

The girl walked off to the side, while the bear just stood there. She grabbed her coffee and walked off to a booth and sat down, while he just stood there, looking down.

I guess he was in deep thought or something, because he quickly shook his head and looked up, finally noticing that his order was ready.

And I'm also guessing that he was feeling at unease, because he looked around before looking at me.

And I, thinking that I was being a weirdo, decided to smile as to show kindness.

I guess he was a little weirded out because he quickly walked away to his friend. I sighed to myself.

Maybe I should introduce myself...here goes...

-Scrap Baby's Pov-

"So, Lefty, how is it?" I asked, taking a sip of my drink and looking at him.

I noticed that his ears went down a little and he looked to the side.

"It's kinda rough..b-but I'm making it through! I-I guess..." He sighed.

I looked down. "Well...as long as you're trying your best, that's all that matters!"

I guess he hesitated for a moment, because he didn't respond.

"........."

I looked back up, only to notice that he wasn't looking down anymore. Only..he was staring at the guy again from earlier.

I looked at him also, a bit confused of why he was standing there.

"Uh...hi..." I said.

The white and orange fluff haired bear smiled slightly. "Hi there. I'm Molten Freddy."

I nodded, but Lefty still didn't say anything.

"I'm sorry if I seemed a bit like a creep back there...I didn't mean to stare!" Molten said, rubbing the back of his head nervously as he smiled again.

I noticed that he had a scar over his left eye but decided to leave it alone and quickly looked away.

"It's...ok..." Lefty finally responded.

I looked at Lefty, wanting to see if he was telling the truth.

Sometimes he lies about a lot of things. And I hate it. He even lied about cutting once...I figured it out because I walked in on him doing it.

No telling if he could be lying about this.

I continued to study his face, but it was hard to tell if he was lying, because he kept looking around.

He can cover up if he's lying or not, and I hate that. He even knows that. He also looks around when he's nervous, so I wonder what's wrong...

-Lefty's Pov-

"So, Lefty, how is it?" Baby asked as I looked up.

I was assuming she meant school, because that's all we have been talking about lately.

And it was a subject that I usually hated to bring up, but she asked. It would be rude to not answer, now would it?

It just really pains me...

She doesn't know that I'm bullied...even though it's High School...

And it gets even worse everyday..

Which is why I cut.

My ears went down and I looked to the side, not really wanting to answer.

"It's kinda rough..b-but I'm making it through! I-I guess..." I sighed slightly, knowing that that was a big lie.

I know, you're never supposed to lie. But...it's not like it was going to hurt anyone, right?

Besides...I can't tell her about the bullying...she's already going through enough and so am I.

I just don't want to...and if she eventually finds out...oh boy..

She can sometimes tell when I lie, too. Which is a bit freaky...

Although I hide it up.

I usually smile...

Maybe I should start taking...'Happy Pills'...

That'll cover up my lies and depression...yeah...heh...

"Well...as long as you you're trying your best, that's all that matters!" Scrap Baby stated, sort of in a cheerful way.

"........."

I didn't want to answer.

I knew that if I would have, it would've came out wrong. Or it would've been a lie. And I was guessing that she did want an answer. But not this time.

I looked to the side, but my view was blocked from the floor. I was obviously confused.

I slowly started looking up, noticing a body was right there.

As soon as I saw their face, I wanted to groan. It was Mr. Creepy again. Can he just leave us- uh..me alone?!

I kept looking at him and he kept looking back at me, seeming a little nervous. I wanted to say something so bad, but I decided not to.

Besides..I'm not that mean...I would never be..on purpose. But if I had to, believe me, I would be.

And right now, I feel like I would need to be.

"Uh...hi..." I heard Baby say. I'm guessing that she finally noticed him too.

I swear she zones out too much.

"Hi there. I'm Molten Freddy." The guy said, smiling a bit at her.

Molten, eh?

Molten...please leave.

Baby nodded a bit, but I kept quiet. I didn't want to talk to this fool. Not yet, anyways.

"I'm sorry if I seemed a bit like a creep back there...I didn't mean to stare!" Molten said, rubbing the back of his head.

Yeah, play it cool man.

Play it cool.

I finally decided that I would stop giving him the cold shoulder and answered him.

"It's...ok..."

But that was obviously a lie. It wasn't ok.

He was STARING at me. I mean, come on! You would understand if you were me...

I was guessing that Baby wasn't buying it, because I felt her looking at me.

I smiled a bit and my ears twitched.

Ha, not this time.

You won't ever know when I lie again.

Even though everything is.

Even my life...

I looked around from here to there, mostly because I didn't know what to say or do.

And I guess that messed up Baby's concentration of studying, because she gave up. I think.

-Molten Freddy's Pov-

Wow..that went...not expected.

Things got awkward really quickly...and I'm just realizing that they never told me their names yet.

I sighed, looking down a little.

"Oh, right! I'm Scrap Baby, but you can just call me Baby or SB!" The girl exclaimed, smiling.

I nodded and my ears flicked a bit.

I looked at the male, waiting for him to say his name.

I could sense that he wasn't comfortable with this.

Nor...did he trust me.

But I get where he's coming from, so...

I mean, who would just immediately trust someone who was looking at you, and then go up to introduce themselves and say sorry as if nothing happened?

So..no wonder it took him a few minutes to respond.

I can tell that he didn't want to talk at all.

At least...not to me.

He looked to the side, his ears going back up slightly.

"I'm...Lefty..." He finally said.

"Lefty?"

"Mhmm..."

Well Lefty...

I hope you won't hate me for long...

Because things are about to change.
