Gyda looked at Billy in surprise. Did he really just say that he minded if his friend and girlfriend switched places? The exchange student couldn't think of a reason why, but then realized that he probably didn't want his little 'Mister Krabs' to be shown off to the world. "Sorry, Sidney," she apologized, frowning and avoiding her friend's gaze.

"I haven't been minding the fact that you guys hold each other in ways that made other people question whether Billy has been loyal and you being a good person, but I need some time with him, too." The Australian's eyes widened in surprise, shocked that Sidney would be so straightforward in public.

"And you will get some time with me, but right now, Gyda is fulfilling a promise she made me a couple of days ago. Unless you want the promise to restart at tomorrow's break?" Sidney didn't say anything, only stormed off, angry. Upset that she made the two argue, Gyda closed her eyes, putting her head in her hands, her legs curling up to her chest. 

Billy sighed, pulling his hands free from her stomach, deciding to just rub his hands up and down her arms. "It's okay, Doll. She's just a bit grumpy that she got a C on her last test." He wasn't wrong. Sidney was upset she got a C, but she had finally opened her eyes to how close they really were, and the girlfriend was going to keep tabs on them together at all times.

Even if she wasn't there.

"it doesn't matter, Billy. You are her boyfriend, not mine. You should comfort her instead of having me sit here for your own gain." She didn't give Billy a chance to stop her from moving as Gyda stood up and left, going off to find Sidney.

Tatum glanced to Stu, before following after her, calling her name. As the two females went off to find Sidney, the two boyfriends turned to each other. "We need to kill Sidney. Why can't Halloween come faster?" Billy complained, making sure none of the people passing by heard as he shoved his food into his mouth.

"Do you know what we also need? We need you to stop falling for some chick like Gyda who is just gonna leave at the end of the year, and focus on the task at hand." Billy's face turned from irritated to plain anger.

"What the fuck? Gyda isn't just 'some chick', Stu. She's amazing. I've added to the plan, by the end of the last night, she'll become mine. Officially." Meanwhile, back with Gyda, the white-haired teenager finally found Sidney in the library.

"I'm so sorry, Sidney. I would've moved away from him immediately. I didn't know that you felt that way about it, I swear." The brunette turned to the blue-eyed Australian and scowled. She knew that she couldn't stay mad at the innocent Australian for long and nodded her head.

"I know. I'm sorry," Sidney paused, inhaling through her nose as they walked towards the hallway. "for accusing you of being a bad friend." Gyda shrugged the apology off with a wave of her hand and a small smile.

"It's completely alright." Stu joined them at the lockers and wrapped an arm around Tatum gently. "I understand how you feel. Trust me, if I ever have a boyfriend and he was as close to a girl as Billy is to me, I'd doubt it too. But, believe me, Billy and I will never, ever do anything like that."

Stu's expression turned into one that showed nothing, if any, emotion as he registered this information. "If it helps, I can stop him from being so affectionate towards me." Sidney's head whipped up like it was struck by a lightning bolt and Stu tensed.

That wasn't the right solution. Especially with Billy's anger problems. "You'll sacrifice your friendship with him for our relationship?" Gyda pursed her lips and furrowed her eyebrows. As long as both Billy and Sidney were happy, she was.

"Of course."

Suddenly, a figure came running out of a classroom and down the corridor. Seeing the black figure and white mask made both Sidney and Gyda freeze in their spot. Memories of Casey flooded Gyda's vision, her body began to shake and her legs stopped working.

The student didn't even get time to do anything, warn anyone for what was about to happen, because it all happened so fast, that she barely had enough time to even open her mouth to gain someone's attention.

Without any control of her body, the white-haired exchange student fell to the floor, her head in her hands and a sob racking through her. Instinctively, Stu kneeled down, cradling her gently, rocking her back and forth as Tatum went to go get the principal.

"It's okay, Gyda. I promise." Sidney glared at everyone that looked for too long, shielding her best friend from unwanted stares, and even at one point shouted for privacy. "Gyda, lovely. You can do it, it's just a memory now. It can't hurt you, it was in the past." Stu looked around briefly, slightly confused at how someone would do this.

"But it still hurts," she whispered, eyes red and puffy from the continuous tears falling from her eye sockets. "Let's get you out of here." Lifting her up carefully, Stu rubbed her back like an overprotective brother.

He may have said what he said to Billy about her, but that was simply to protect her from something she wasn't meant to be involved in. And she definitely wasn't originally in the plan for the year.

"We're almost outside, breathe." Gyda did as told, managing to walk down the stairs with wobbly knees and shaking fingertips. "Make it stop," she whimpered out, her usually bright, blue eyes now dull and void. 

"I'll take her home. I'll stay with her too, if it makes your nerves calm down, Sidney." Gyda didn't process who was saying what until a certain, familiar voice appeared. It was concerned, horrified, and full of disbelief. 

"Gyda? Wait, Tatum, I'll go with you to help bring her home. Is she okay? What happened?"
