Louis heard Twitty say hi to him, but he didn't respond. Louis was feeling absolutely miserable.
"That bad, huh?"
"Twitty, it's awful! I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat breakfast this morning!"
"She broke your heart, Louis. Shocking, I thought you would be immune to that one."
"Twitty, it isn't funny! I have never hurt this much before in my life!"
"Lou, calm down. It's okay. You guys are still friends, right?"
"It's not the same."
Right then and there Tawny showed up. Twitty noticed she looked rather unhappy also. Could it be? Hmm, Twitty would have to have a discussion with her later.
"Well, Louis! Look, it's Tawny."
"Hello, Tawny," Louis mumbled.
"Hi, Louis," Tawny muttered in return.
Twitty noticed a note of sadness in both their voices.
Just then, Ren walked by. She was carrying a stack of colorful flyers, and she paused when she saw Louis and Tawny. She shoved a flyer at all three of them, and said, "You have to come! It's the place to be this Friday!"
The three looked at the flyer. "I'm not going. I refuse to embarrass myself," Tawny said.
The flyer was for a dance that Friday. Twitty suddenly had an idea.
"Come on, Tawny, you have to come! Louis is going to be there, right Lou?"
"What? Oh, sure, whatever."
That was not the response Twitty needed. "Louis, you know we're going. We've been planning this for months!"
"Well, I suppose I might go," Tawny said.
Now Twitty was getting somewhere. Just then, the bell rang, and they rushed off to class.

Ren saw Tawny sitting on the steps in the hallway. School had just ended, and now she was determined to talk to her. "TAWNY!" she called.
Tawny looked up. "Oh, hi Ren."
"Listen, I need to talk to you about Louis."
The look on Tawny's face became even sadder, and it also became a bit fearful. "How come?"
"Do you still like him?"
Tawny avoided eye contact.
"You do, and it's killing you that you two broke up. Well guess what? It's killing Louis too! So you know what, get back together! What an idea!"
"I can't Ren."
"Oh, and why not? You like him, he likes you, HELLO! Go out! Geez, how hard is this concept? Go out!"
"Ren, he hurt me! He ruined the play, and he knew how much it meant to me."
"That's the way Louis is. He makes stupid mistakes, but Tawny, if you like him, you two should be together. Don't be afraid. Do you want me to talk to him?"
"I guess. If you want to."
"Tawny, can I ask you a personal question?"
"Um, okay."
"Did Louis kiss you?"
Of all the questions! "Why do you want to know that?"
"Well, I'm curious. I want to hear about my brother's love life."
"Yeah, he did."
"Was it nice? Did you like it?"
"Yes. Now is that all?"
"Yep, Tawny, that's all I needed to know."
Ren walked away, knowing what her next mission was.
