Bae felt a little disoriented. She heard each of Jasmine's cruel words. Bae had been bullied before, and thought she had a thick skin for it, but tonight she found Jasmine's words reverberating around in her mind. 

[b][i]... I'm so annoying... Only the fattest ugliest neckbeard will want me... I've got a problem and I don't know how to solve it...[/i][/b] She was thinking about how pathetic she was, her self esteem ached, wounded by these thoughts.

"For the love of God, will you shut up?!"[/i][/b] Jasmine finished by screamed at Cedar and dropped covering her ears. 

Bae scrambled over to Cedar. [b]"Did you [i]lace[/i] it with something?"[/b] She found herself thinking that the most efficient way to shut Cedar up would be to [i]beat[/i] Cedar up. Bae never thought violence was the answer to anything... Not until tonight... She did not try to beat up Cedar, but did shake her shoulder harder than was necessary. She stammered. [b]"Just b-be quiet for... Just for a bit... I can't think... I can't [i]think [/i]clearly with all this noise..." [/b]

Cedar sniffled, she had begun crying but hushed up. She tilted her head toward the sky, her blue eye seeing something new. She opened her mouth to speak---

--- Bae clasped her hand over Cedar's mouth. 

Cedar simply pointed and made a sound [b]"mmmmmm!"[/b]

Bae looked, and saw the reverse-shooting star. The silver streak had vanished from sight earlier, and apparently had decided to return...
