eh?”
It was only now, after the argument between her and Christine was over and done with, that Lilian finally realized her chosen mate was unconscious.
“ Beloved! Oh, Inari! Beloved, are you okay?! Speak to me, Beloved!”
While Lilian began shaking Kevin in the hopes of waking him up―which was very counterproductive―and Christine continued to violently emasculate a certain pervert… again, Lindsay stood off to the side with the others, all of them watching the scene unfold with matching befuddled expressions.
None of Lindsay’s friends knew what to make of the scene before them.
“ This is the second time these two have started fighting each other today. I wonder why they hate each other so much?”
“ I know, right?”
“ Ah! You don’t think they’re love rivals, do you?”
“ You mean that goth girl is also in love with Kevin? Really?”
“ It certainly looks that way, doesn’t it? I mean, why else would she fight over him like that?”
“ I know, right?”
“ Speaking of that girl, doesn’t she look awfully familiar? I think I’ve seen her sitting on the bleachers during P.E.”
“ That’s right! She’s the one who never participates in class. And I have her in my literature class, too. I wonder why I never noticed her before?”
“ I know, right?”
“ You’re doing it again, Jessica.”
“ I know―Oops. Sorry, my bad.”
While the group chatted and observed the chaos unfolding, Lindsay could only wonder how, or maybe when, Kevin’s life had become such an unholy mess.
“ Mercy!” Eric screamed shrilly, his face a mask of agony. “Please! Show me some merccyyyYYYYYYAAAAA!!”
“ You don’t get to beg for mercy, worm! Now hurry up and DIE!”
“ Oh, god! AAEEIIIII!!!”
"Beloved? Beloved?! KEVIN!"
Yes, Lindsay really didn’t envy Kevin. Not at all.

Kevin and Lilian sat in a small café, ignored by the crowd of patrons who’d also congregated there.
It was later in the evening and the sun was beginning to set; light gold hues containing purple streaks marred the sky. Splotches of orange and yellow disrupted its splendor, but also somehow enhanced the sunset’s overall visual appeal.
The large group had split up a while ago; each of them heading back home, all except Kevin and Lilian. Since they didn’t have parents waiting for them, they didn’t have any set time they needed to return.
Of course, Kevin normally liked getting home early. It was Monday, which usually meant they had school the next day. Since the campus was closed until repairs could be affected, however, he figured it would be all right to indulge Lilian’s desire and stay out a bit later than the norm.
Leaning back in his chair, his head tilted toward the ceiling, Kevin tried to ignore the dull ache in his body. His arms were sore from Lilian and Christine playing tug-of-war with them. They literally felt like they had been torn at the seams. He also felt extraordinarily exhausted. Dealing with two girls fighting over him for reasons that he couldn’t understand was tiring.
And just what was up with those two anyway? Why had they been fighting over him? Lilian he could understand, but Christine? Why would she fight over him? She didn’t even like him, as she constantly reminded him every time they saw each other.
Kevin covered his face with his hands and groaned. He really didn’t want to think about this right now.
“ Are you alright, Kevin?”
Lowering his head, Kevin’s eyes landed on Lilian. The twin-tailed beauty was staring at him in obvious concern. It was almost enough to warm his heart. Almost, because he was simply too tired to feel much of anything at that moment.
“ Yeah, I’m fine.” He sighed and lowered his hands back onto the table. “I’m just not feeling too well, I guess.”
Lilian’s worried frown became more prominent.
“ Did you not have fun today?”
“ It wasn’t that I didn’t have any fun,” Kevin replied, “I mean, this morning when
