"Yeah right, you're not deaf, just spacing out," James commented.

"What's wrong?" Vincent asked worriedly. "Are you still sick?"

"Huh? You like Kasey!" they all exclaimed as all of them turns to face him, wide-eyed and mouths almost fall over the floor.

"Could you please lower your voices," he hissed at them.
