Akio: I look at Aster, who will die at his own hands. At 18. .  He'll die at 18. .!? Seeing him like this I rub his back, trying to comfort him, as well as trying to get over the shock of knowing my own death.

---

Aster: There was a soothing hand on my back, and I remove my head form my hands and look down at Akio. "You okay?" I ask her in a whisper, knowing she must be freaking out too.

---

Akio: I shrug. "I'll be fine." I tell him, of course though that's a lie, would anyone be okay? I know that he isn't okay, so I don't see a point in asking. But I don't know what to say either.

---

Aster: "Going to the bathroom." I say after I raise my hand. I quickly walk out of the room, not bothering to see if the teacher will let me. I don't want to be there after the game, to see what people will think of me. But i am gong to have to face it some time.

---

Akio: I watch as he walks out and than debate whether or not to follow him. Of course I decide too, as I would rather not be here for examples any longer. I don't say where I'm going I just leave the classroom. I don't care if I get detention or not. I quickly catch up with Aster. "P-people are just mean!" I say, my voice tripping over the first word, trying to hide anything that would make it sound like I was effected by what she said.

---

Aster: I stop and turn around. Akio was there, catching up with me. Placing my hands on her shoulders, I look her straight in the eye. "Everything, is ruined." Is all I say. I let go, turning back, and walking off.

---

Akio: Frozen for a moment after he tells me this, I just stare after him. He's not wrong, no, he's totally not wrong. "Aster!" I yell at him, not caring if the other classes can hear me. I don't move towards him. "Get your asss over here!!"

---

Aster: I turn around and glance at her. its just as bad for her, as it is for me. And she is here trying to comfort me, after I tried to  run away. I sigh and turn around, walking back to her.

---

Akio: I stare right at him the whole time it takes him to come back, my arms are crossed and I'm standing seriously. "I'm not going to let these years totally suck for you! Alright!?!" I say, my voice is still loud and I quiet myself a bit. "I'm gonna make sure that these are good years!"

---

Aster: I look at her skeptically, not sure if she was right or not. "Yeah? How? These people here are shallow as a kitty pool. What I said about that one other kid killing himself from being a zero, is true." Did you respond to curses?
