High School Mayhem

"Laurance. I have to tell you something." I act as I lean against the wall.

"What is it?" Kawaii~Chan wondered as Laurance.

"It's not easy to say but... I really like y--" Lyrvanna cuts me off.

"Stop! Stop!" She walks over to us.

"Lyrvanna~Ch-- I mean, Van, what are you doing here?" 'Laurance' asks.

"I followed you. I was in my room when I saw you leave and I wondered where you were going so late at night."

"I got a message from Dove~S--, Dove, saying to meet her here."

"I can see that. I'm just wondering why when she's dating Zane."

"I'm wondering that too!" Dove shouts, the real Dove.

"It's just a story, sadly, you two aren't dating in this one." I sulk but get back into character.

"Oh! Then... I can see that but I couldn't stand by and do nothing." Lyrvanna says getting back into the story.

"Oh?" Kawaii~Chan/Laurance smirks.

"What the-- CUT!"

"What is it Lyrvanna~Chan?" Kawaii~Chan wonders as Kawaii~Chan.

"You did his smirk, how? I-In my mind, I saw him... doing that stupid smirk of his." She smiles to herself before vigorously shaking about her head.

"Anyone order a witch?" Lucinda walks in.

"You did it!" Lyrvanna gasps.

"Yep! I thought this game would be way more fun if you could actually see everything in the scene." Lucinda winks at me. "See, watch!"

~*~*~*~*~*~

We all stood on a beach. Wait, Laurance is here? Why am I so much taller and why is my neck cold? I reach for my hair but I miss. After bringing my hand up, a lot, I find it. Dove's hair on my head.

"Now you really are the scene." Lucinda's voice says. "Continue. Action!"

"I couldn't just stand by waiting as s-she..." Lyrvanna trails off.

"Confessed?" 'Laurance' finished.

"Yeah, I mean, I-- It's not like I really cared it's just I... don't ship it." She stammers really into the scene now. I guess she's actually moved by the fact that 'he's standing right in front of her'.

What would Dove say right now? "It doesn't matter if you ship it." I cross my arms 'annoyed'.

"But I-I can't help myself... I don't know why but it's... weird. I'm--"

"You're?" 'He' urges.

Her eyes widen and her face turns red as she turns away. "If you really like her then date her! Whatever! I don't care, Baka! Gosh! I don't know why I followed you in the first place! Wait... SCENE!"

"Scene?!" Kawaii~Chan and I groan as it all disappears.

~*~*~*~*~*~

"That was intense. I don't know if I want to do that again." She pulls a hand up to her chest. "My heart is pounding." She laughs awkwardly.

"Lyrvanna~Chan..." Kawaii~Chan whispers. That's when I notice she has tears in her eyes.

"Lyrvanna?" I say.

"Yeah? What? I'm listening." She tries to discretely wipe her tears.

"Um, nothing," Kawaii~Chan says.

"Where's your bathroom?" She asks me.

"First door on the left." I murmur softly. She dashes out the room quickly.

Lucinda, Kawaii~Chan, Dove and I look from one another. "I have an idea," Lucinda says.

"Lucinda~Chan, she was crying." Kawaii~Chan points out.

"That's how she would have reacted to heartbreak but we don't know if they're dating or not still, we have to have a confession scene. I'll make a decoy Laurance, enchant it, then have Lyrvanna react to it."

"At least Lyrvanna~Chan won't cry... I-I, um, I guess we could do that." Kawaii~Chan mumbles.

"Alright, they'll most likely ask to be alone so I'll leave my phone, call it with one of yours then we'll be able to hear what they're saying."

After setting up the decoy, which didn't take long, I go get Lyrvanna. "U-Um, you have a visitor."

"Me? This is your house." Lyrvanna says confused through the door.

"I know but he says he really needs to talk to you." She mumbles something before opening the door. She quickly wipes her eyes.

"Who is it?"

"Laurance."

"That's a joke. One of you guys are going to be magically disguised as him, aren't you?" She laughs as we walk to the room.

"None of us are. See." I point out each of us.

"Wait so..." She walks over to him.

"Lyrvanna." He says.

She jumps out of her skin. "Y-Yes?"

"We'll leave you two alone," Lucinda says as we all walk out of the room closing the door behind us.

"Did you set up the phone?" I whisper.

"Yep."

"I really need to talk to you." Laurance's voice says.

"I go home tomorrow couldn't you wait until then?" Lyrvanna asks.

"It's important."

"Then you could have texted me or called me or something!"

"This is something I need to do in person."

"What?"

"I need to tell you... I'm in love with you."

"You. Are. Not."

"What? Yes, I am."

"No, you're not."

"I can't help how I fe--"

"You aren't the real Laurance." Kawaii~Chan, Lucinda, Dove and I exchange glances again.

"What do you mean?"

"The illusion was a little more real than this, maybe because there was a real person behind it. But you... your eyes are dead. It's not like Laurance's. When Kawaii~Chan was pretending to be him, it wasn't the same but it was better than this." Lyrvanna points out.

"My eyes? It's always been like this... blue."

"See, another way I know you're not Laurance. Laurance would have either teased me about being obsessed with eyes or pointed out the fact that I told him I loved his eyes."

"I'm just a little lost right now."

"Why? Because you don't have a true identity?" Her voice gets closer to the phone. "It's not nice to trick people you know? I just don't understand why you keep teasing me with Laurance. Lucinda, come get your decoy before I snap its stupid neck."

Lucinda unmutes the phone on our end. "Okay..." She sighs as we all make our way into the room.
