16:00 the class is over.

" Hey!... hey man! "

" ZzzzZzz---- huh?... oh The class is over?"

" yeah, sure is." The boys in front of Syd told him.

" *yawns* thanks for that man."

" No problem." He said.

Syd Barrett wiped his eyes. but Suddenly he noticed that something is strange.

" Wait a sec. What time is the class over?"

" It's 16:00 "

" What time is it?"

" 16:00.... oh 01 now." the boy said, while looking on his watch.

"so... everyone in the room immediately goes out when the bell rings? Where did everyone go ?"

Syd noticed that there are only a few people in the room including him and a few boys in front of him.

Of course, Jody isn't here either. She already left.

" They go to see the result."

" Oh i see. The test that we just have today?" Syd asked.

" Yeah, that's right."

" You won't go see it?" Syd asked.

" I'm about to. but i think I may go later because... ya'know? too much people."

" Umm, I understand. You have a point. In the end we all going to know it. I'll just take another nap. wake me up when you are leaving doe."

" Okay."

The boy aren't even finished his words suddenly a random girl quickly opens the class's door that it turns in to a slam.

s L A M !

" Woah! What the--..." Syd startled.

He then turned in to the girl.

" S-SYD! "

"uh... yeah?" Syd is confused.

" Come with me! Now! "

" W-why?? who are you???"

" Just follow me to the hall! you have done something that no one in this place could! "

"?"

Syd bends his eye brows.

At the School's hall.

On a score board, A place where they put the test result on.

" Hey!! Get out of the way! "

The girl shouts out to everyone on her way.

She's leading Syd Barrett to the score board.

" What's wrong with you, woman?" He asked.

Finally, they have made their way in the front.

" Shit, Is that Syd Barrett they're talking about??"

" Yes that's right. It's him! "

" Holy fuck, he's my future boyfriend for sure!"

and so many murmur.

It made Syd confused.

" 'fuck you're talking about... what's wrong with all of you?"

Suddenly, Syd saw Jody who is now standing in shocked towards the score board while her eyes keep staring at it.

As syd observed Jody, Her jaws didn't drop, but her eyes are widened.

He can tell that she's in shocked right now.

It made Syd looks to the same point she was looking at.

The pretest result.

1. Jody Johanson ---- ( 91/100 ) , Syd Barrett ---- ( 91/100 )

2. Seraphina Gilmour ---- ( 88/100)

3. Toshi Wetton ---- ( 85/100)

4. John StroKovsky ---- ( 81/100)

and so on...

" See what you have done?! "

The girl asked him.

" Uh.. The first place has 2 person? what's wrong with that? "

Syd said.

" That's right!!! You are the first person who can go this far!!! you even realize how superior you are to come close to Jody's level!!?? "

The girl said.

" Shit... looks like Jody has finally meet her worthy opponent! "

" Her equal! "

" who's this guy?!?!"

People start to talk again.

" ...? " Syd had a feeling that there's an intense glaring towards him, and he was right.

It was Jody.

But she isn't obvious to notice. She looks pretty normal.

" How?..... Syd Barrett??..." She asked politely, but Syd can feel that she's pretty shocked by now.

" I heard you complain about the context of the test? Didn't you?"

" Oh... right. I did. how' you know?" He asked.

" Doesn't matter. I'm just wondering if you had cheated or not. But i think you didn't, because you spend just only 30 minutes on the whole test and you have no grades after all. So doesn't matter if you do it good or bad. It won't effect you. The penalty for cheating is to be fired out of the school, I think you wouldn't risk....but it's possible."

" Well, Don't you just technically say that you are looking at me all the time? if it doesn't matter how you heard me, it also doesn't matter what i complained either , does it? I have a right not to talk about it."

"....." Jody didn't reply.

" And you were right. I know the rules. and Yes, I didn't cheat. Doesn't matter how much scores i got, It won't effect any single bit of me since i'm just stay here for 1 year."

" I doubt about how did you hear me, women. I'm pretty sure that i made my lowest voice possible so that it wouldn't disturb people around me. An average hearing distance of human is around 1-1.5 meters for a voice of 30dB. That's same level of whispering or my complain."

Syd grins.

" May be you're just having a better sense of hearing, I assume."

He then walked away. Leaving everyone behind.

" Syd Barrett...."

18:00 Around London ; England.

Syd Barrett was doing something on his black brandless notebook.

Looking on the monitor, he seriously thinking about an information showing in front of him.

But seems like there are something that's bothering him.

It's Jody Johansan.

Inside of Syd Barrett tells him that this women have something special.

" I believe in my inside me." He thinks.

No need to wait, Syd grabs his brandless smartphone and calls to someone.

"....."

"......"

" Yes, Brother? "

At the end of the call appears a voice of a women who surely younger than Syd.

" Roxy. Can you do me a favor?"

" It is...?"

" Search for the information of a person name Jody Johanson. Not sure if it's a or o in the 'son' but she's a blonde girl with blue eyes. Looks a little threatening ..."

Syd continues,

" Like a female bully in the movie, I suppose. Can you do it?"

" With pleasure brother, please wait a minute."

"....."

" I got it. It's an O in the son...oh..."

" What is it?"

" Brother... I better send you a file."

" Yes, please."

As fast as she operates, the file has already been sent in to Syd's notebook.

" Thank you, Roxy. Luv' ya."

Syd turns to his notebook.

" Let's see..."

He reads.

" Jody Johanson. Graduated the middle school at st. Nicolas Philadephia .... Her father works in court as the Judge. Have 1 siblings.. Rachel Johanson, an older sister. In the middle school....."

Syd eyes widened.

"... As i thought.... my inside me sense is never wrong.."

He looks at the information in interested.

" Jody Johanson. In charge for 20 cases of Altercation, 40 cases of scuffles, physical assualt, ... been intimidated, overawe, terrorized, threatened her classmates, teachers,and People around her for 3 years. Ability... Control the air movement... "

Syd opens his eyes even wider in surprised.

" Wait a minute."

" Yes, Brother. This is where things get more interested. Where did you find her though?"

" Is there a possibility that She is 1 of the 4 elementalist? "

" Probably." his sister added.

" there's also a hospitalize information over here."

" Let me see..." Syd reads the information,

" !!!! "

" Oh... Roxy... I think I have a plan now..."

.

.

.

Mean while at Jody's Apartment.

Usually at this time, Jody would be studying.

But today is different.

Despite a books infront of her, her mind is thinking about other thing.

It's no one but Syd Barrett.

This is the first time Jody felt like she had been slapped in the face.

I underestimated that guy...

She thought.

I need to know more about him.

As she thinks of that, She opened her Ipad and started googling.

She typed, Syd Barrett , in the search engine.

As fast as a blink of an eye, the results are shown.

Her eyes are scrolling up and down.

" Syd Barrett...or in the other name

'Pai-thoon' is the only son of Anong Barrett, Ex-miss universe 1970 and Thomas Barrett jr. , famous Australian business man. They are the owner of the Thailand conglomerate based in Bangkok. It is Thailand's largest private company and one of world's largest conglomerates. It consists of three core businesses that operate in agribusiness and food, retail and distribution, and the telecommunications industries with investments in over 80 countries, employing over 600,000 people....."

Although such an information above, Jody just skipped much of it since it isn't useful for her.

All of that context to Jody it only tells her that...

" he's a kid with rich parents too..."

He has 1...Relatives.... his younger sister, Roxxy Barrett or PaeThai [Click for more]

However, there's no much more of the infotmation than this.

Doesn't matter how much Jody had scrolled down, there's none of the information.

" No other record than this Public-approach information..."

She closed her Ipad in unpleasant feeling.

However, this feeling is one of a few she had right now.

Because right now she is deeply excited. Finally there's some one who can equally rivals her.

On the Next day.

Jody was about to go to school. She was waiting for the subway in the school uniform.

Looking at her watch, it is 6:00 in the morning.

Glaring around her with ipods on her ears listening to music in Spotify, she then noticed some one waiting for the subway 8 meters away from her.

It is Syd Barrett.

" ! "

Jody looks at him again to make sure he is really Syd because between them, are so many of people in many ages walking around.

(... It's him...)

After confirmed that it's Syd.The Subway has arrived.

Jody jumps on this bogie.

Syd also enters the bogie ahead of her.

Due to the time, 6:00 , it's an early morning. So there's not much people on the subway. Jody then slowly made her way to the bogie ahead of her while the subway starts moving.

" What am i doing..? "

She asks herself. Is she trying to approach Syd Barrett?

" Probably..."

That's what she replies herself too.
