Jax's POV

    "Anyway, you are still tired from our little event yesterday. You should get back to sleep," he says to me.
    "B-but I'm n-not t-tired," I manage to get out. The tears were pouring harder and faster out of my eyes. It stung, but that made me cry even harder.
    "I'll play a song for you," he says. He sits me down and forces me to lay down. I was in my bed. He brought the covers up to my shoulders. "Now, just relax." I close my eyes, so I can try to fall asleep. I feel him sit at the end of my bed. How did we even get in my bedroom? We were in the living room just a minute ago. He starts playing. I have no clue what he is playing. The instrument isn't one that I've heard before. Well, I haven't heard that many instruments before, but it's beautiful. The song is so familiar, but I cannot remember where I heard it before. I was fading back into the realm of sleep. I was almost there before I remembered what the song was. It was Song of Storms from Legend of Zelda. Why would he play that for me? I fall into the void of sleep and everything becomes silent.
        "Hey!" I hear someone scream. I shoot up. It was bright in my room. A tall dark brown haired boy stood in my room. "Finally, we're going to be late for school." Christopher was standing in my bedroom, but why? How did he even get in here?
    "Um, how did you get in here?" I question. He walks over to me and grabs my hand. Quickly, he pulls me out of my bed and rushes me down stairs.
    "That doesn't matter. We have to get to school," he tells me. He pushes me out the front door. He had picks up my bookbag and hands it to me. "Here why don't you get on my back? We'll get to school faster." He bends over and beckons me over. I take the offer and get onto his back. He sprints down the sidewalk. It looks like he is walking still. He hasn't even broken a sweat. We get to the school and he puts me down. "Come on. We better go." His face was red, but why?
    "Hey, are you alright? You're face is red," I ask him worriedly. 
    "I'm fine. It must be from running," he answers.
    We get to class. It was boring. Each class was the same. They were all boring and each teacher spoke about Jeremy. The pain from before sat in my stomach. It was terrible, but I sat through it, since I didn't want them to notice. I was sad about his death. He was my friend, unlike my mother. It is strange feeling sad about someone's death, since the only death I have ever dealt with was my mother's, so me feeling sad makes me feel normal and strange at the same time. The bell rings and it's time for lunch. I sit down at the table, but it was off, since he wasn't there. It was awful.
    "Hey!!!" a higher pitched male greets our somber table. We all look up at the new person. He was shorter than all of us. He had light brown hair. His eyes matched his hair. He was incredibly happy, which was a little annoying. He wore a blue t-shirt, which was matched with blue jeans. He had blue sneakers with white socks underneath. He made it seem like nothing was wrong. 
    "Oh, hey, Toby," Jason greets sadly. The boy named Toby sits down next to me.
    "Who's the girl?" he asks the boys. Josh rolls his eyes at Toby. Jason looks down at his phone.
    "This is Jax River. She is a friend of ours," Christopher tells Toby, "Jax, this Toby Lucklot. Toby, this is Jax River." Toby's eyes light up.
    "Is this the Jax River?" he asks with excitement. Christopher nods. "Wow, it's great to meet you!" He reaches out to shake my hand. I don't shake it. He looks a little sad, but then goes right back to being cheery, again. "Look, I know Jeremy's death is sad, but we have to move on with life. He wouldn't want us to mope around now would he?"
    "No, no he wouldn't," Christopher answers, "but it's still hard without him."
    "Yeah," Jason and Josh both say in unison.  I nod.
    "So? We have to move on! If we don't nothing happy will happen, so we got to stop this useless act!" Toby demands. He leans close to us. "Plus, if we are sad then we can't try to figure out who murdered him."
