At the Normal School, at 8:30 AM, the sky was dark like it will rain anytime soon.They all have arrive at school. Emcee voice could be heard as soon as they entered the school area that say the opening ceremony will be start at 9:00 am and reassuring visitors that all ceremony, activities and food stall will not be affected by the rain.
Ellie seemed so happy from the moment they entered school, she quickly grabbed Kyle's and Ariys' hands to accompany her as she walked around the school leaving Qylaa and Fri behind. Just about Fri want to wander alone Qylaa call him.
"Hey Fri, let's walk together"
"Nope, I'm prefer to walk alone. You better take this chance to walk with your other friend other than Ariys"
As Fri tries to leave. She stomps his foot and says she doesn't have friends other than Ariys. Fri doesn't believe it and walks away.
"How can I believe someone like her that's so beautiful are not having any friends, it's impossible"
Despite saying that, he still looked back to make sure she had left to walk with her friends. He saw the girl just sit at the chair not far from where they stood before. Not knowing what to do, he hid and observed her from afar.
Qylaa was lost in thought, she felt lonely when Ariys is not with her, his father and mother always leave her alone too with reason their were busy with works making she always come to police station to see them.The others girls not friends with her because there were jelous. Being born into a well-known family in the city, with such a beautiful face and body, and being skilled at taekwondo, she naturally attracts jealousy. Because of this, she has problems with social interactions, but she is still just a normal girl who wants to connect with others.
When she snapped out of her daydream, the rain had started to fall. She thought it was okay for her to cry now, as no one would notice. She looked to the sky and started to cry. Suddenly her head was covered by a hoodie.
"Hey, why are you still here? It's raining now, you should enter the school" Fri told her.
"Let it be, it's not your problem. After all, why did you come back here? Didn't you say you want to wander alone. So, go now, leave me alone. I'm okay, you don't need to care about me if you don't want to"
She could hear Fri sigh. Suddenly, she felt Fri arms lifting her like a baby and quickly brought her in the school. Then, Fri wanted to let her down but was stopped by her because she saw the crowds are looking at them. She quickly hid her face with a hoodie.
"Don't you dare let me down here. Search for somewhere quiet first" Qylaa said firmly mixed with shyly.
Then Fri ran to the empty classroom. Fri told her it's okay now. After make sure it's really quiet, she got down by herself and gave Fri his hoodie back, then she went to sit at one of the seats there. Fri left the classroom.
Qylaa minds become fibrous. She thinks why she needs to be sad, Ariys have new friends now shouldn't she feel happy too but her negative thoughts are whispered to her.
"What about you? You need to prioritize yourself first before your friend. Shouldn't you ruin their friendships. You deserve Ariys more than them.You can't let them have your bestfriend"
When her head is under too much pressure from overthinking she wants to slam her head into the wall to relieve her stress, but her actions are stopped by Fri when he comes back to class with two small towels.
"What are you trying to do, Qylaa?" Fri said while holding her tightly.
"Let me go, Fri" she replied while struggling to free herself.
"No, I can't let you go if you're trying to do something stupid"
"leave me alone, it's my body.I can do whatever I want" she being more aggressive to free herself.
"No I can't let you do as you want. Yes it's true that is your body, but you can't hurt yourself" Fri said while still holding her.
"Why? just let me go or I will bite your hand"
After a few seconds, she bit his hand as Fri didn't let her go. Fri shut his mouth hard, willingly to bear the pain instead of letting her go.
"It's because I'm your friend. I can't stand by and watch my friend hurt herself"
Upon hearing that she became quiet and started to cry as she always want someone to say that to her. Fri gave her one small tower.
"Now stop crying and start drying your body and face, I will help you dry your hair" Fri said while starting to dry her hair.
"Hey, can I hold your hand?" she asked.
"For this time I will let it"
Fri offered her his hands. Qylaa hold his hand tightly and didn't want to let it go. They were like that for a couple of minute until Qylaa tears dried up.
At the school canteen, Ellie and Kyle ate nasi lemak while Ariys was worried, realizing that Qylaa was not with them. Ellie tried to cheer her up.
"It's okay you don't need to worry about Qylaa. I'm sure that Fri has taken good care of her"
"How can you be so sure, I'm become more worried when I remember she was with Fri" Ariys said because she thinks Qylaa will be torture with the 10 part adventure story of him.
"I know Fri well, just believe me.Maybe he look dumb and weird, also act cold towards others but he actually a gentleman person like Kyle. Look for example, you being calm by him yesterday, it's really work that you even cried at that moment until you don't have tears to drop out" Ellie said to convince her.
When she thinks about it, she thought maybe it's true if sis was confident to say it like that. Then, she joins them eats nasi lemak.
At 9:00 AM the opening ceremony started, the gang of three were in the hall and the other two were walking around together to play and eat. The opening is being greeted with enthusiasm as they were show of students show off their talent in dance, sing and fighting. All students show the spirit to celebrate the ceremony.
-------------
At the Crow gang hideout, Soto and Humberto were locked in a room.
"Why Crow lock us up father? It's a pity that I can't join the graduation ceremony today. I'm planning to play with my girlfriend" Soto said while looking at the locked door.
"He said for measuring steps as he doesn't want to guard us if the enemy attack us when we return home, and your ceremony we can just have one for you when this is settle" Humberto replied, he really doesn't care being locked because the room have everything they need to live like tv, internet, phone, food and toilet. For him it's just a normal day off.
Soto just accepted his fate and sit beside his father watching tv. When Humberto look his son making a sad face. He cheer him up and said that Ariys will be for him if things goes as Crow planned because he also request Crow to kidnap that girl for his son. Soto became happy again and said thanks to his father.
At the same time, outside the school area, a group of suspicious men entered the school by jumping the fence.
--------------
Inside the school, Qylaa and Fri was having fun playing shooting game. Meanwhile, the gang of three was still walking around accompany Ellie that's still excited to came to the school. A loud voice suddenly appeared while everyone were having fun. It's emcee voice that call for students to come to the hall to prepare the graduation ceremony. All of the students who were involved went to the hall immediately.
At the hall, Fri and Qylaa finally get to see the other three. Ariys run to hug Qylaa while being worried about her.
"Qylaa, are you okay with him. You didn't be torture by heard 10 part of his adventure story are you" Ariys ask.
"No, I'm okay. Actually we were having fun together" Qylaa replied while smiling at her. Behind them Kyle was trying to hug Fri but was stopped by Ellie.
"So what happened to your coat. Why are you wearing his hoodie?" Ariys still worries about her bestfriend.
"My coat are dirty so Fri offered his hoodie to me" Qylaa said while remember the actual reason, she just being egoist and want to wear Fri's hoodie while he wore her coat and Fri accepted it because he thinks it will make her happy if he did as she want.
Ariys looked at Fri, she found the coat were being worn by him. Ellie came there and said they will leave first to find a seat at the hall. They wave each other before part. Then Ariys and Qylaa went to the graduation gown section.
While the three were walking to find seats, Ellie asks Fri how his walk with Qylaa goes. Fri said it's normal like walking with them. Kyle insulted him.
"Are you sure? or do you have fall in love with her"
"It's not going to happen.You know I'm not interested in a relationship. All of you are just my friend and not going to be more or less" Fri replied while making a cold face.
"Is it true" Kyle tried to spill water at Qylaa coat. He tested Fri, if he was angry then for sure he had fallen in love with her, if not then all the things he said were true.
Fri doesn't care at all as Ellie is the one to stop him from doing nonsense.
After a few minutes, they have found a seat to sit. While waiting for the ceremony to start they played uno card no mercy that Kyle just bought.
At the women's toilet, Ariys is ready with all things she needs to wear. She looks at the mirrors while praising herself.
"Wow, it looked so beautiful on me. I wonder how the others will react" she feels excited to imagine the others react especially Ellie.
The toilet door being knocked by Qylaa. She tell her to get ready now because the graduation ceremony is about to begin. She ask Qylaa how her looks. Qylaa praise her beautiful and cute. Ariys also praise her back. The two princess walk happily to they seat at the hall.
--------------
At 11:47 AM, the graduation ceremony went smoothly, Ariys and Qylaa have get on the stage. It all went smoothly too with the other students. Suddenly, when the last name to receive graduate certificate get on the stage visitors and students were in silent. Although they know who is being called their cannot help themselves when their realize that is not Soto. It's Crow who was on the stage while holding a weapon. His focus was aimed to Ariys and Qylaa. He said one word while smiled and shoot one grenade to the air.
"Surprise"
As the grenade exploded the lights been cut off. The sound of visitors and students panicking begin to teror the hall.
Fri quickly jump to downstair floor. While Kyle and Ellie are going somewhere else. The chaos became more chaotic when suspicious men are throwing smoke bomb inside the hall. All of them can't leave the hall because the door was being locked from the outside. Fri run straight to the stage but no one was there.
At the same time Qylaa were having trouble. She and Ariys were being attacked by some men. Qylaa were fighting hard to beat them all. When Crow came it's over with one punch straight to her stomach. Ariys shouted.
"Qylaa" she ran to her and saw blood coming out from her mouth and she fainted.
Crow knocked out Ariys too and his guys are taking them. Just about he thinks to handle the main quest. Fri came to him first.
"Let them go now if you want to live" Fri shouted at them.
"Thank you for saving my time looking for you" Crow said, instead of taking him seriously.
"So you are the boss for those losers I beat at the warehouse that day" Fri realized he was a bad guy as soon as he said that.
"If you want revenge, just come at me. No need to involve them"
"Revenge, what a childish reason. I don't have time to do that nonsense. I do this because it is my work when I get paid" Crow replied while laughing.
Fri came and grab his big hand and do armbar. Fri break his right hand immediately and quickly go to help Qylaa and Ariys. He had time to save Qylaa from the guys but when he want to beat the guys who take Ariys. He being knee by Crow to the floor.
"You really are something else. You break my bone although I have enhanced it"
As Fri get up, Crow shoot him with grenade launcher making a huge hole in the wall hall and sinking him into a pile of concrete. They want to take Qylaa again, but being blocked by Fri, he said that explosion is not enough to make him die.They run away without Qylaa. Fri then lift Qylaa on his back and went to other students, he asked them to take care of her while he plans to chase Crow. The other people also going out from the hall using that hole.
On the electric room, Kyle and Ellie were able to went there as they were going out the hall through the ceiling. There are four suspicious men at there. Kyle casually walk at them and start strike them using iron rod. They were no match for Kyle, he knocked them out in a seconds. Ellie then quickly switch on the powers back making all the people who stuck at lift and other place that need electric can get out.
At the back of the school, Crow and his gang ran away from Fri. They hit a dead end. Fri looked at them coldly. Crow had time to thought about increasing his payment to Humberto as this would cost a lot more than he expected. He stood right in front Fri.
"I will beat you to a pulp kid" Crow said to Fri.
"Just try it" Fri replied and charged at him.
Before he can grab Crow, a truck came smashed the school fence and hit Fri, throwing him into the store building. Crow laughed at him and tell him to get ready for the next meet up while get ready to leave on the truck with his men and Ariys. On the other hand, Fri can still open his eyes to look at the truck's model and number plate as the truck drove away before he passed out.
