I love the reactions to the Elmo Chapter🖤 All bow down to Remus the Duke of breaking the fourth wall

It's been a week. I've tried talking to Virgil but he just ignores me. Does he really hate soulmates so much as to completely ignore his own? I wish I knew why he doesn't like them, maybe I can fix it. Remy came to our table a few times but he refuses to tell me why the emo nightmare doesn't like soulmates. Whenever I bring it up he just acts like he didn't hear me or try to change the topic. Emile has also been acting weird. He's been a bit more quiet when it's just Thomas, Joan, and I but when Remy or anyone else is around he acts just like his usual cartoon loving theripist friend self. I need to talk to him.

"Roman!" I look up to see Remus standing at the end of my bed. "Finally. Fuck, I've been trying to get your attention for a few minutes now. Stop staring at the ceiling, it's dinner time." I sighed and sat up.

"Remus have you noticed anything weird happening?"

"Are you talking about the whiteboard under my mattress that holds the plans for this book because the author can't remember shit but she'll probably abandon anyway cuz fuck da police?

"What? Nevermind. I'm talking about everyone. Emile's been quieter, Remy's avoiding the questions about why Virgil doesn't like soulmates, Virgil's constantly walking across the hall or courtyard just to ignore me, and I didn't even mention everyone bowing down to Remy wherever he goes." Remus stayed silent for a moment.

"Nope! Come on we're having mac and cheese tonight!" He walked out of the room leaving me sitting on my bed. I sighed again and walked to the dining room.

"Roman, you're never late for dinner, is something upsetting you?" Father asked.

"Well besides what Remus did on Friday, just that everyone's acting a bit weird." I responded without looking up from my plate.

"Weird? How so? Also what did Remus do on Friday?"

"what I did on friday? Just read the extra chapter to find out. And Roman's just talking about Emile talking less, Remy isn't telling him something, his soulmate doesn't like him, and everyone in the damn school is literally bowing down to Remy." Remus explained. I still don't understand why he keeps talking about chapters, readers, or some author. He's so weird.

"Who is Remy?" Father asked, "my first guess would've been him being Roman's soulmate but you talked as if his soulmate is a different person so I am only to assume Remy is another new kid at your school."

"Don't assume anything about Remy" I said referring to when he first introduced himself. "It gets scary" he had a questioning look but soon brushed it off.

"So, this soulmate, they do not like you?"

"No" I sighed.

"It'll be okay kiddo. I'm sure they'll love you when they get to know you" Dad said in his usual happy self.

"I hope so..."

{time skip to skewl}

Remus won't leave me alone. He's been bugging me about something this whole morning. I don't even know what he's talking about anymore. He started this morning when I woke up by talking about something weird that happened on one of his two in the morning strolls. Something about a raccoon eating a squirrel?

"Hey Roman!" I looked to see Joan, Emile, and Thomas waving me over.

"How was your weekend?" Thomas asked.

"It was okay. Not much except for Fridays thing," I answered. Emile looked at me with a questioning face as Remus burst out in a fit of giggles. "Its nothing I can explain" they seemed to question that for a moment before Joan looked as if they remembered something important.

"Guys!" Remus stopped laughing as we all looked at them, "We're getting a new student today."

"Okay? What does this have to do with us?" Remus asked. "Wait is N planning something?" He whispered barely loud enough for me to hear.

"I dunno. Just thought you guys would wanna hear about that bit of information Talyn told me." They shrugged.

Wait.....

"Y'know this could be any of your three's soulmate, right?" I pointed to Thomas, Emile, and my twin. None of them have met there soulmate yet, apart from Joan who had met Talyn in freshman year, and none of them seemed to be talking about it since Virgil came. And in all honesty Emile didn't seem to care after meeting Remy.

"Oh yea!" Thomathy smiled. "I wonder what mine's like. I bet they're amazing." And he went into daydream mode. Great. And now he's humming his song. That reminds me, I've had this song stuck in my head for awhile now and I don't know what to think of it. I've tried looking up the lyrics but Google failed me. I then thought of the chance I might have another soulmate but the research I've done told me that even if a person were to have more than one soulmate they would all still share one single song.

"I doubt it's any of our soulmates. What're the chances you meet your soulmate and one of us meet ours. I don't think I'll ever meet mine and if I did I really doubt they would wanna put up with me. I mean, you barely wanna put up with me."

"Come on, don't think like that. I love ya lil bro" I pulled him in a side hug and laughed.

"You're only older by a few minutes" He laughed.

"Hey Remus," Thomas snapped out of his daydream, "why haven't you ever mentioned your soulmate? For the longest time I've known you two, you never said anything about your soulmate." It's true. Remus has never talked about his soulmate in front of others. When we were younger (about seven or eight) we would just sit in our disney onesies and talk about what we thought our soulmates would be like. But he never said a word when we were around anybody else, not even our dads.

I looked to Remus to see him acting the same as whenever anyone, besides me, would ask about his soulmate.

Nothing. Not a speck of emotion.

"I just told you that they aren't going to like me. And besides, why would I care about my soulmate when the author refuses to write angst for her favorite characters?"

"Again with this author bullshit? We are not having a repeat of Friday, that was too weird." I regret hugging him now.

"Author? Like Gravity Falls?" Emile questioned.

{time skip brought by laziness}

"DEMETRIUS DOLION GET BACK HERE WITH MY JACKET!!" I heard yelling from down the hall.

"NOT ON MY SOULMATES DEAD BODY!" another voice yelled before someone bumped into me.

I looked down to see someone maybe a year younger than me. He was wearing a yellow beanie that matched his black and yellow nirvana shirt and yellow hightops. He was holding a black and purple coa- wait. Is that Virgil's coat?

"I'll take that." Virgil came and grabbed his jacket out of the boys hands and looked up at me. "Thanks for being in the way...Roman."

"I'll take that as a compliment"

"Don't think too far into it, I still don't wanna deal with you."

"Progress is progress" I smiled.

"Progress?"

"You're actually talking to me." He let out a small laugh and slid his coat on. He then held out his hand to the boy that was still on the floor. The boy brushed himself off and looked at me with a quizzical expression. He looked me up and down before whispering something to Virgil. Before he could respond a green blur ran from down the other side of the hall and stopping at us.

"I heard screaming!" my annoyingly hyper twin yelled. Then, out of no where, he screamed in the most demonic way ever. The three of us looked at him as he started laughing maniacally. "I had you all momentarily distracted. Wait who dis? New kid?" He turned toward the boy and started examining him like he did to Virgil before.

"Robert, Robert Squarepants. My friends call me Bob" He responded.

"Stop telling people you're Spongebob" Virgil smacked the back of his head.

"You wanna be grounded?" The boy threatened Virgil. I honestly don't understand what's happening anymore.

"Grounded? You guys cousins or some shit?" Remus asked.

"Yea, cousins" The words sounded a bit forced but I don't know this guy so he could just be overly sarcastic.

"So what's your real name?" I questioned.

"You didn't hear me screaming his name? The green one sure did" Virgil laughed. His laugh....fuck I'm gay.

"Demetrius...." Remus sounded it out and seemed to be deciding whether he liked the new kid or not.

"Aight ima head out. Nice meeting you guys" Demetrius waved and started walking back down the hall with Virgil.

Finally done. Okay! Before some people ask questions, I said I was finally going to put Remus' song in a chapter. Well, halfway through this (when I was s'pose to put his song in) I forgot and decided to introduce Demetrius aka Deciet so the song will be put in the next chapter. Another thing that I may or may not have just thought of! Things will be explained a bit more in the next chapter but basically I need an "adult" character. Details will be posted in the Random Shit book.
Bye for now guys, gals, and non-binary pals.
