Upon entering my house, I see a horrific sight: Kaylynn is on the couch, eating popcorn and watching old rom-coms. Kaylynn! Usually, Kaylynn is the one to lead all our activities. She's energetic and loud, not lazy and sluggish."What is going on in here?", I ask."I am obviously enjoying some old rom-coms", she points at our DVD collection. We usually use Netflix for entertainment, but sometimes it's good to go back to the classics of the early 2000s."I should have never left", I shake my head. "You're miserable without me", I chuckle. It's true, though."Nah, I wanted you to have fun", she smiles. "I mean I hoped you would be gone for an hour... or maybe 90 minutes", she pauses."Right", I chuckle, "It's been like 3 hours, holy shit", I exclaim. I feel horrible. I left Kaylynn on her own for hours--without even a call. Meanwhile, Tiana couldn't give two fucks--I should call her to make sure she's okay. "I'm literally the worst friend", I run up to her. Hugging my blanket-covered, sl

His eyes never left the road, and I could tell he was getting antsy as I maintained the silence in the car. My face softened a bit, but it morphed into confusion.We pass townhouses, skyscrapers, parks, and pools on our drive. Kids play mindlessly among one another, and adults converse and bond over drinks. This group of teens, guys, was strolling out of Starbucks, taking selfies and yelling "period", when a couple girls catcalled them.

Shawn's POV:The excited look in her eyes says it all. She's not serious about this--she doesn't get the severity of the situation. We can't just up and decide to join--who are we kidding? She, who isn't even a believer, cannot up and decide to travel through time and change the world. That's not gonna happen.

Kara's POV:Once he finishes cleaning up the mess--by himself, I start to draft a text to Jack, but frankly I have no clue what to say. Get the fuck out of my house, weirdo; What about "break up" don't you get?; or maybe the infamous read notification? That never works. I just have to deal with him in person... sadly. Shawn insisted on wiping up the lemonade himself, so that I wouldn't "ruin anything else". Jokes on him, I wouldn't have objected anyway.

Kara's POV:That guy... Mr. Grayson, I guess, is gathering everyone. He has his blue suit and mask on. I honestly think he looks ridiculous, but hey, if he believes it'll get us closer to a counterrevolution, far be it from me to question it."My people!", he booms, "What are we gathered here for?".Andrew raises his hand, "The counterrevolution!", he shouts so that everyone can hear."Yes, Andrew, that is our purpose. We will bring the world back to normalcy", he announces."Chant, I tell you, chant"."RE-VERSE, RE-VERSE", the crowd emphasizes each syllable. Just like that first night. Everything's the same--except it's day and I'm here voluntarily (more voluntarily...).I look over at Shawn and he's chanting will all his might. I never would have pegged him for a team effort kind of person.He's obviously passionate about this cause. Maybe I
