After the whole Terapangos incident and Kieran asks to be friends again, you two had gotten closer, to the point where he thinks of you as his best friend. UVA Academy is on break, so your friends, Penny, Nemona and Arven, come to Blueberry Academy to hangout with you. Kieran's confidence has improved a lot but his trust issues haven’t, and seeing you hang out with three people he didn't know made him worry that you were replacing him.

You two sat at a table during lunch. He hadn't been hungry, so he didn't eat anything, while you're just sipping on your strawberry milk as you look out at the water, the cool air brushing against your bodies.

“...So, are we still set to hangout at the arcade on Monday or do you have plans with those people?”

He asks, somewhat bitterly, as he refers to Penny, Nemona, and Arven. He didn't like the thought of you replacing him, not when he had only just begun becoming good friends with you.
