Ben sighed. Julie broke up with him after the "separation incident" where Ben not only went to her tennis match, but he also saw the 'Sumo Slammers' movie in live-action 3-D, and umm… attempted to fight the Forever Knights with Kevin. He then stuffed his face in a pillow and screamed.
"Come on," Gwen opened the door to his room. "Kevin's taking us to the carnival that just came into town."
"Who cares?" he replied, voice muffled from the pillow his face was on.
"I do," she attempted to pull him off the bed. When she couldn't she gave up. "Kevin! Get Ben out of here!"
"I thought you said he would agree to this," he walked into Ben's room and flipped the green-clad boy onto his back. "Have you been crying?"
Ben wiped his nose on his sleeve and Gwen made a face. "No," he sniffled.
Kevin pulled the younger boy out of the room. Once he was out Ben walked the rest of the way to Kevin's car. As soon as he got in the car he slammed the door.
"Hey!" Kevin snapped. "You know you're not supposed to be slamming my door or-"
"Kevin, calm down," Gwen put her hand on the dark boy's shoulder. "He's goin through a hard time, back off a little."
"Whatever, he's still gonna get over it."
She rolled her eyes and hit his chest lightly, he then grabbed her hand in his own and their fingers intertwined. She gave him a worried look and turned back to Ben who was burying his face in his hands. Kevin squeezed her hand for reassurance and they arrived at the carnival.
