He got down from his car and walked towards the cafeteria, he clenched a bottle of water and went to the principal's bureau and everyone looked at him as he walked through the corridor. He smirked as he crossed them.

There was a big crowd standing in front of the notification panel.

Kyle read it with the crowd, he veered around and walked back. Kaolin appeared and gave him a surprise hug from behind and asked, "Gonna take part in this." He said he wasn't a good writer or not much into reading either. She said, "We're the birds of the same feather." They walked further and saw another group of people chuckling next to the second entrance door. They went closer to the group.

Kaoline said, "seriously Valerie, again; stop molesting her".

Valerie answered," what's working you, sweetheart".

Kaoline answered back, "We are the inspiration for others, you can't keep hurting someone again and again". Valerie asked her the same query again and said her to keep her butt out. Both were uptight at each other and then said, " One day you are gonna take a spill and no one is going to be there to pick you up".

Valerie responded with rage "Let's see who's gonna take a spill".

Kaoline rebuked "if you stick another poster offending someone, I am going to show you the guiltiest day of your life".

She tore the page and threw it on her face; she walked away with Kyle after she yelled at her. Kaoline spoke about Valerie to Kyle and walked into the library with anger.

At the principal's office

He came into the office and thrashed his bag on the couch and sat on the chair chewing a gum. Castor didn't bother about his actions on the first day. Then he said, " Welcome to Meadows High Mr.Arden Paige". He raised a quick question " what kind of name is Meadows?  He was perplexed and replied, " well it was named after the founder of this school and her name was Meadow green". He was playing with the paperweight as he spoke.

"Listen (he paused, he waited until he stopped fiddling) you know why you here, don't do anything simple-minded; you are here just because of your dad's request. Keep that in mind. Concentrate on your studies" said principal Castor with concern

"Don't tell me what to do, I know my scheme sir". He was uncivil and asked the same question again.

He glared at him. " I told you already".

"Well I wasn't listening, was I? "

Mr.Castor said, " Apparently not."

He took the gum out of his mouth and stuck it under his chair; he took his bag and walked out of the office. He looked at him affectionately.

Jake ran to the school hall with his black shorts, sports t-shirt, and his backpack. He went in and saw his sister organizing the seats. He moved toward and showed her the statements. He asked, "Are they getting divorced for real?". She took the papers and told, " Hey you what, (she stammered) you should probably get going for the classes; just don't mind."

He had a tragic look on his face as Sara pushed him slowly towards the door. He left the auditorium, Sara felt it perplexed because this happened before; their parents came in with the divorce papers and then did nothing other than understanding each

other better than the past, but now both have signed the papers. Sara felt completely down because she's attempting her best holding the family together.

At the Club Paradise(Eskmo extended version playing)

Sara walked in sprightly to the 3rd floor. She saw her dad sitting with another lady dressed up in a formal white dress blazer, a black heel, a retro cat-eye sunglass, and a black luxury handbag;  her mom was sitting opposite to them. She expressed her tenderness and waved her hand. She went and hugged her mom. Then she asked, "Who's this?"

They looked at each other.

"I'm Catherine Connie" she smirked. Sara was stupefied and then said, " Hi, can I have a moment with my parents" she frowned. Catherine replied "certainly". She took her pochette and vacated. Sara grasped the papers out and showed them, they said that it was the parting papers.

" I know what these papers are, it explains that the sessions are next week; are you going to split up."

"Yes," Mrs.Lucas reacted downhearted

(She was disturbed) Sara asked "Why? (She paused) I know you guys fight and always say that you're going to get divorced and again be promising to each other, I thought it was the same bizarre fight; that's the purpose I never came when you called me".

" Well this time it's real, not the same stupid fight; you wanted to know what you want to. Now, go back to school (she saw displeasure in every word he said).

"Do you remember your signature line dad? Never let go of your fortunate allure; no matter what never let go.

You said this whenever I feel that my lucky charm is nothing but trash (she was sad and outrage). You always mentioned Jake as your fortune because after he came home you got all appreciation and ownership, you said this constantly. He's still your lucky charm; he slipping away, hold on to him".

She got up and walked out, she turned and said, " He likes our family together, stay jointly for him".

She wiped her eye as she walked out, she saw Catherine and stared at her and said, " Stay away from my dad and my family. Don't even attempt separating us, do you get my point lady".

"This is not how you talk to your future mother dear, show some esteem" Catherine replied

"Wanna see my esteem" she spat on the floor right next to her legs and walked off. Catherine was fully provoked. (Music fades)

At school

Pablo and Jake were conversing about the divorce as they were walking to the office.

"Are you sure they are going to be separated forever". Pablo asked

" Yeah they signed it and the trial is next week". Jake said (he opens the door)

They saw Phabe writing an article and then Pablo asked, "hey Phabe how was your day?"

Phabe replied as she filled the papers "great". She said to the office staff "Thanks Melissa, have a great day." Pablo looked at her as she walked out. Jake chuckled and said, " I think you should talk to her."

He turned and replied"You know I have a crush on her since 5th grade and whenever I approach her; I get a panic attack. I can't do this"

Jake laid his hands on his shoulders and said, " At times things happen only when you talk eye to eye".

"I should think about it" Pablo sighed

At Eternity Signs (Sweet revenge playing)

"This suite is marvelous, " Catherine said

" I know you will like it."He removed his watch and kept it on the table; he turned and poured two glasses of Montinore 2017 Red Cape Pinot Noir. He gave a glass of wine to her and said, "Cheers" (clink)

"Did you speak to Sara?" Lucas asked

"Yes, I did. She is such a sweet and breathtaking person. She was so good." Catherine said

"She is a sweet kid" Lucas replied

She turned towards the window and murmured " I am going to teach her a wonderful lesson, how to honor a person of high individuality" she was angry and wanted reprisal.
