The school's logo is also shown in the school colors. The school's motto, which says that everyone deserves to achieve success, has been placed at the top of the school banner.
A boy wearing a gray shirt with the school's crest and black pants with white stripes sits in his first-period class. His hair is black, but not as short as he'd like it to be. It's pulled back into two ponytails. He asks Beam.
"I would like you to know that short hair fits you! BUT why aren't you tying your hair and where is the red ribbon? You're going to be a senior this year! YOUR HAIR IS ALSO COLOR BLOND!! Are you made out of corn?" Beam pats her hair to cover it due to secondhand embarrassment.
She doesn't want anyone else to notice her hair or the fact that she isn't really a freshman. She's trying to be more confident in herself but because of what they say, the whole class is looking at her and murmuring about her.
Beam hangs her bag at the back of her classmate's seat and grabs her notebook and books.
While the teacher is discussing she heard her classmate in the 3rd seat murmuring about her and aom- she didn't mind it at all until she got pissed due to their rape joke about anong, she stands and kicks the chair, parts her hair, and punch her classmate's face till his nose bleeds- It got the attention of everyone that's why they're trying to stop her. Beam yelled.
"You're a son of a bitch-" he hysterically laughs and said.
"Isn't it he?" Beam cried hyperventilating.
"It was you! BITCH!! Ploy was my only best friend and she died just to get her brother's justice due to society! Do you know how hard is it to live like me?" they all froze and were even stunned by what beam had just said. The bell rang and they are just waiting for their stunned teacher to say something.
"Umm... class dismissed!" Beam went to the bathroom still crying and weeping her tears using her hands. They were really scared and didn't want to be around her at all.
She goes outside the restroom and sees a few boys talking but doesn't pay them much mind as she walks to the rooftop for some air and sees some of her classmates there.
She went into a public place that she thinks it's very empty while her face was red from embarrassment and anger.
After school Beam went home having a bad day and didn't even have dinner, just to continue her homework while ploy is in her bed again. Ploy mentioned the temperature as the temperatures are very important to ploy when she was alive due to her skin allergies and nasal allergies.
"I wonder what temperature it is right now, the time I'm at the alleyway it was 30 degrees Fahrenheit. And I would probably have a nosebleed after that." Beam checks her phone and it was 27 degrees.
She got to the conclusion that the heat coming from the soda factory might be hot due to machines being used and operated for hours on end. But that's not why she started thinking about this. No, that's just not it.
The reason she thought about this so much was that she was alone. Her parents had gone to sleep and she was also trying to help ploy. Beam said.
" I have an idea!" she grabs a whole sheet of paper and notes what ploy had just said. "I'll take note of everything you knew! And let's start adding for conclusion in the statements!" ploy replied.
"You're a genius!" Beam asked her some questions.
"That day aside from waking up at the alleyway, and you saw the girl, what did you do? What's the date and the time?" ploy replied.
"It was 5 o'clock on August 17 2020 I saw a gun man after school then I played dead after he shot random innocent people and then I woke up in the alleyway and I became an asshole, I did not ask the woman, I saw her phone was broken and I meddle in everything! I became ignorant and chooses my safety over that woman, little did I know it would cause worse." Beam replied.
"That's it? Nothing suspenseful happened?" Replied.
"What do you think when you're in trouble, some kind of a book series or a movie? Kicking some asses of burglars and kidnappers?"
Beam said. 'I'm just asking maybe you could add more." Ploy replied while beam kept writing on the paper.
"That's all I remember I woke up I just found out to aom that anong raped a woman, I researched on the internet what would happen to Anong while he was still in jail and it did happen, the other day he was in jail."
Beam replied. "So here's what it would sound like! It was August 21 at 6 o'clock and it was dismissal time for my classmates. once went home except me my Instinct told me to act dead while the gunman was shooting Innocent People as I'm In the middle of a crisis I acting dead, then I fell asleep and woke up at the when of a thruway then as I trammel Some reality I Saw the girl and I couldn't ask her due to my social anxiety but I did saw a Broken Phone and at the back was a celebrity photo. I couldn't do anything to ask her so I meddle and went home instead, I just found out to aom that my brother raped a woman, and after going home I checked the internet to see what would happen if he was in jail, then the other morning he was arrested."
Ploy replied."That's the thing I only remember! But there are some of my conclusions like I saw Anong with a helmet guy also at the night market talking to him after I buy streetfood, and the paper that was supposed to be on my skirt, I don't know where maybe it was also burned the same on my cremation."
Beam asked. "What paper?"
Ploy said. " I also met the gunman asking so many questions at my front, I was in a hurry that day so I am afraid to cut him off so I made an excuse that I will be buying my school project- then I saw a piece of paper he was holding fell on the ground. One day I was walking in the hallway I was thinking about emptying my pocket and throwing papers and garbage, but I got curious so I open the only paper and found out that anong was in huge debt! And maybe that's the reason why his motor was stolen also."
Beam was stunned by what ploy said. "Oh! God, I did not know that! I taught the woman was just randomly making fun of him like aom's thorns."
