Jackson's POV
I never expected that Florence was still there, and to be specific she lied to me. I've also lied to her, both of us have said goodbye for our own reasons but don't know the real schema. I don't know who is lying the most offended, but I can know that I was the one who lied the most pain than her not because she was a girl. My secret is crueler than hers, or is she the saddest one than me? I don't know…
"Why did you lie to me, Jack?", Florence asked me as I sat beside her.
I tried to answer, but where? Should I repeat all this cruelty from the start? No way, right? Or not, I'll just take the center of the story and tell her.
Then, I told 'back' about myself that I haven't told Florence. I don't really want to spit out this secret either. Maybe "will" spread this matter to people I trust, like Holly. It's not that I don't believe in Flo, it's just that I'm afraid her body has a small camera which could be a surveillance tactic used by Maria to spread secrets to the public. I might be blasphemed and frightened about that.
"Oh… Sorry, I didn't know about that. I actually don't really want to force you to talk about it. The thing I ask is why did you lie to me? If you have a problem, I can help you. Besides, I don't have any cameras around my body. What do you think I am? Belongings on display for entertainment?"
Not really.
We are still sitting in the waiting chairs, there are some staring from the patients who pass us by with securing eyes. Some of them whispered that we were a couple, and some said that we were siblings.
"What if we part ways for a while? Next time I'll actually say, see you at school, Jack.", Florence said like that then left me.
Flash!
I instantaneously looked around, there someone who takes a picture of me and Florence.
Who is it?
Damn, I should be attentive to that. I'm in the hospital with a girl, if the snapping sound comes from the paparazzi… My privacy and Florence could be threatened.

After leaving the hospital, I went home and saw the news about Lisa's case on television. That girl is really in trouble, but why should I care? Is it because she's my teammate for an assignment?
"Today, to be precise on January 12, 2020. The trial regarding the case experienced by Lisa Fatmawati will begin.", Said the news anchor.
The prosecutor's room door was opened, and there were 3 people in uniform. Right in the middle of those people, it seemed like Lisa was going to be tormented later.
I saw the process clearly. Lisa's attitude during the trial paid off, she didn't rebel. But sadly, she cried. The judge was confused as to why she was crying. Even though the punishment for her has not been informed, then why is she crying?
"I----- I just want to apologize to the media… The mistake I made wasn't a gimmick or revenge. I just want to save that guy."
"Hah! She's lying!", A female voice shouted from the other side.
The camera panned who spoke like that, it turned out that Dessy appeared with several bodyguards.
"She just wants to advance her status! Let her go to jail! Don't give her any mercy!"
I, who viewed Dessy's anger, was annoyed.
Why does she have to be like that?
We know that Lisa is doing protection, but it turns out it's just a misunderstanding. If you could say it was accidental, of course. Let's see what the judge's decision looks like.
~~~~
"Sorry Miss Lisa, you will still be jailed... Only for 2 months."
Lucky.
"2 months??", Dessy feels disappointed about the judge's decision.
Dessy didn't consent that Lisa was only imprisoned for 2 months. She got angry that because of her behavior that was considered a bully, she was expelled from the courtroom.
Take that as a result, Dessy. You tried to interrupt the trial.
After the trial, the television camera changed to the atmosphere of the reporters who were ready to take photos and also questioned Lisa about her being imprisoned for 2 months.
When Lisa and her guards want to take her to prison, a camera raid attacks them.
Flash!
Cekrek!

"Yes, Miss Lisa. What do you think of this case?"
"Will you be blasphemed by the fans?"
"Any last words before going to prison?"
"L--"
"Lisa !!"
"Lisa, just one word!"
The reporters didn't stop to ask Lisa who felt tormented by it.
One of the policemen even said, "Please don't cover it."
I hope she's okay.

Lisa's POV
I couldn't believe it. I'm going to jail for 2 months. The risk that I accept must be lived, like it or not. I know that my mother is crying seeing me sending to prison, but this is a meaningful reality. Hopefully, from the problems I made, there are lessons to be learned.
I was escorted to a special stop for escorting prisoners. The police guarding me accompanied and accompanied me so that I didn't disappear from their presence.
Don't worry, Officer. I won't run away from you.
A minute later, the prison bus arrived and the door opened automatically. You can see that the driver is a woman in her 45s.
"Huh? This time a little kid that you brought for me?", It seems that the driver's eyes have dimmed.
The driver took her glasses and flashlight, then glanced at my face, "A girl, huh? Wait... Is she being the one who was caught just now?"
The policeman nodded in resignation.
"Quickly, you need to take her to the women's prison.", He pushed me forcefully so that I almost fell.
Insolent police.
When I entered, the bus looked deserted. There are no other drivers besides me and the driver.
"You just sit in front so that later when you get off so you can be faster." The bus driver told me to sit in front, to be precise near the entrance.
"Okay."
And this is how my life in the women's prison has begun.
