The doors slowly slid open and a frustrated Paula walked in. 2d glanced at her, still leaning on some desk. The painkillers were slowly starting to work.

They stayed in silence as Paula dropped her bag on the floor by the desk closest to the door. Paula looked at 2d and they made eye contact.

"So how was your dating day?" She spat as she slowly approached the bluenette.

"Uh..." 2d didn't necessarily want to reply. "I-I guess it was fun." Paula stood right in front of him, glaring.

"So you're gay?" She asked, kinda angrily.

"W-What?" 2d lightly blushed. "N-No, this was nothing. You know it was..." Paula continued glaring. This intimidated 2d and caused him to turn away. Paula's eyes widened as he did so.

"NOTHING?!" 2d looked back at her, confused, but as soon as he did he felt her hand make strong contact with his face. She slapped him. 2d's eyes widened as shock overtook him. He looked back at Paula.

"W-What was that for?!" 2d yelled back, holding his hurt cheek.

"What the fuck is that on your neck?!" Paula exclaimed, enraged.

"A bloody hickey! That's what!" The bluenette was now getting tired of her shit.

"How dare you?!"

"How dare I?!" 2d stood up, towering over her. "Since when is it a crime to get a hickey from someone you're dating?!"

"You're not dating him!!" Paula barked.

"Yesterday I was! And it was your bloody idea!" 2d glared at her.

"But that didn't mean you had to do all those things! Are you just trying to make me feel bad?!"

"You were the one who was so happy to be single for a day!" 2d got pissed.

"But that doesn't mean you had to go and kiss him right in front of me!!"

"Not my fault I wanted to have some fun! We never do anything together anymore!!!" Paula gasped at his statement.

"Fun?! You called that fun?!"

"Fuck yeah!" 2d burst out. "And I don't regret shit!"

"He bit you!" Paula seemed offended.

"So what?! It felt great! And you know what else we did?!" Paula wasn't sure if she wanted to know. "We made out!"

"Y-You!" Paula gasped. "How could you?!"

"And it was way better than anything I did with you before!" Paula was shocked.

"How dare you?!" 2d just glared at her with his arms folded.

"At least he wanted me! Unlike you."

"I did want you! But now you changed!" Paula yelled.

"Excuse me?"

"You're not the Stuart I wanted to date! You're just a different person! Now you're 2d!"

"That's just a name!" 2d protested.

"You were a nice sweet boy who I could spend time with! But now?! All you do is tremble in fear and cower in front of Murdoc! And now you're telling me that you'd rather date him?!"

"Well, he treats me way better!"

"He's your bully!" Paula complained.

"He's a friend! And I don't know why you can't accept that!"

"He just wants to use you!"

"That's not true! You don't know him the way I do!" 2d was getting tired of this.

"Fuck!" Paula burst out. "He's an asshole and a bully, the whole school hates him! And you want to be friends with him?!"

"Yeah!"

"He ruined you!" Paula yelled.

"But now he's trying to fix this! He cares!"

"Yeah! Right!" Paula rolled her eyes.

"Ugh!" 2d didn't know how to respond anymore.

"That bastard took my boyfriend away and I'm not going to forgive him!"

"He didn't take me away! I'm right here!"

"No you're not! You don't care about me anymore!!" Paula exclaimed.

"I do! You're the one that's so distant nowadays!"

"Well it's hard to get close to you when he's always there!" 2d sighed in frustration.

"I just want to fix this..." 2d said sadly.

"Well me too." It was Paula's turn to sigh. "I'm not as heartless as you think." 2d looked at her miserably.

"I know you're not... Let's just, forget about this, ok?"

"No... I can't just forget about this, 2d things need to change." She grabbed his hands. "I don't want you to hang around him anymore."

"Paula you know I can't. He's my friend and I like spending time with him." 2d calmly explained.

"He's just going to keep hurting you, why can't you see that he's bad for you??" There was urgency in her voice.

"He's really nice once you get to know him..." Paula looked at him disapprovingly.

"2d, this isn't going to work..." she stated sadly yet seriously.

"What do you mean?" 2d got worried.

"You really need to make a choice. Me or him."

"But-" The bluenette tried to protest.

"No." Paula simply stated. "You have to pick sooner or later. I'll give you some time." 2d looked at her with his puppy eyes, but it didn't work like it did on Murdoc.

"I don't want to pick..." 2d mumbled.

"Well you have to." Paula let go of his hands and pat his shoulder. "See you tomorrow." 2d watched as she walked out and then sighed. He slumped onto the floor and rested his back on the table leg. He brung his knees up and rested his elbows on them, covering his face with his hands.

Why does she do this to me? He thought. I don't want to pick. I like having Murdoc as a friend, and if I go with her I'll just be alone again. Does she even realise this? Does she really care? What if Murdoc is right? What if we weren't meant to be together? But what if Paula's right? What if he's just using me?

The door to the music room slid open and Murdoc walked in with a sigh. He immediately noticed 2d on the floor.

"Have the painkillers not kicked in yet?" Murdoc walked up to him and knelt in front of him.

"Nah, they did..." 2d sounded melancholic.

"Then what is it?" Murdoc run his hand through 2d's blue hair. 2d sighed.

"I had an argument with Paula again..." he mumbled.

"Aww, was it bad?" Murdoc was starting to get worried. 2d nodded in response. He didn't want to speak because he felt like he'd cry. "Come here.." Murdoc said in a caring manner and then pulled 2d in by the shoulders for a hug. The bluenette hugged back. Suddenly it was clear which one of them cared....

In that moment Murdoc decided that he had to get rid of Paula. For 2d's sake.

So I have a high fever, and I woke up in the middle of the night feeling like shit. The fever was so high that I started to hear voices which were telling me to do something...

So there I was, one am, rocking back and forth on my bed like an idiot and messily "singing" despacito and talking to myself.

That must have been a sight to behold 😂
