"Here comes the best student of the month". Jason who saw Seven coming towards them said with a happy face. You really are not ready to let another person have that spot right?. Why would you ask what you already know Jason?. Chun doesn't like to slack off because she is a serious student unlike you who has been on the third position for many years.Mason snorted.
"Says the one at the second position bearer" Jason retorted back. Are you people really going to start fighting this morning, if so I will leave with Stacey and you can continue. Nooooooo. Both the twins shouted while blocking Seven's escape route, she was their last hope of leaving the school but if she changes her mind in the case of talking to their parents they believed that they were doomed. Okay let's do this, Seven will bring up the topic during dinner and we will then aid her. They leaders are having a final meal together this evening in regards to them leaving tomorrow and we are all attending so that would be a perfect chance to get their permission, Stacey who has been silent all this while spoke up.
Chun still needs her treatment so let's follow her to the health center then we can all go to the dinner together.
The four musketeers was now strolling down to the health department with the junior learners greeting them along the way, they were call the four musketeers by their fellow students because they always stick together which made them seem inseparable to the point that an outsider might think they came out from the same womb though siblings do fight sometimes.
Greetings senior sister!, your father asked for your presence at the dining area, he said that you should bring along your friends since they are likely with you at the moment. A set of student who stopped them half way to the clinic said with his head bent down as a sign for respect towards them.
The message has been received, will be there. Her reply was as usual with her emotionless face still as straight as before while changing their destination. For her father to call on her before the dinner time showed that he had something to discuss with them. let's answer their summoning first, my treatment can wait. a little delay won't kill.
Inside a hall designed will traditional art crafts six individuals were sitting and chatting among themselves with their faces full of smiles with the addition of the pleasant weather of the evening made the scenery beautiful that you might even join them in their laughter without knowing the cause. At this moment four youths stepped into the room to find the mood among the former occupants good. Five among the six individuals were the parents of the four musketeers while the sixth person among them was the elder of the school who was sitting at the beginning of the table.
Greetings to the elders, the four said in unison while bowing their heads. Greetings my dear children, you can sit down. Seven sat beside her father and others followed suit by sitting beside their parents, once they settled down, Seven's father spoke up.
As the three of you might have known, Seven and I will be leaving the school tomorrow and we are not sure of our return yet. Everything is set and ready for us to leave but we have a little problem. Chun here, he said pointing to his daughter, as you all call her up has a little problem with communicating with people peacefully without resulting to fight the next few minutes but that was solved after she met you people. My problem is that she would certainly have problems making friends outside the school walls.
Eric why don't you just tell them that you want to take them along with you rather than beating around the bush.The elder who's patience had ran out while listening to Seven's father spoke up.
Okay what I meant to say is that I would like you three to come with us to Country-B, Eric said in one breath.
Yesssssssss!!!!... the three shouted out of joy after he spoke making him confused so his daughter explained. They were still planning on how to convince their parents but you did it for them so they are happy since you did what they were still gathering the courage for. Seven explained to her stranded father with her face showing a sincere smile for the first time in years and not an evil smirk. "Did you just smile?". Jason asked standing up making everyone look towards Seven.
"No, I didn't."
"Yes you just did". Jason retorted. I just saw her smile. It's okay whether she smiled or not we can't prove it because her face is back to the normal state so it makes no difference. Mr Eric said but the case was not the same inside his heart, he was very happy to see her smile after all these while even if it was just for some seconds.
The plan is for us to settle down and arrange things for you then you can come after few days, I still need to check up on my new factory that is under professional management, it's been five years I left it under another person's care.
The plan has been made, consents given, worries solved. Okay let's eat, your speech is always boring, am already starving. Tell them to serve the food. The elder ordered the servants at the door.
The food was severed, the family of three ate to their fill with no other serious discussions apart from their mundane talks of their training. The youths left the hall first after the meal because Seven had to get her final acupuncture treatment and as they promised they went there together.
Later that night, a girl was sitting in a room holding a picture as if it was a treasure to her with her usual emotionless face having a crack. This was the side of her that nobody knew for the last five years, hugging the picture to her heart, the air around her changed with something sinister flashing through her eyes she said. "Mom it's time for payback".
