3rd person/pov

Why is the piano room so clean? did someone clean it?" Shan wondered.

He smiled, pleased to find the room spotless, and began to play.His fingers grazed the piano tiles, and he smiled with each note.He played his favorite song, "Heaven," which he had learned with his mother.

"Mother... I hope you're okay, wherever you are," he whispered, gazing out the window.

"I'm doing fine here. Aunt is very kind to me, so don't worry."

Lost in music, Shan forgot about time.

"Shan Natachai?" their professor called out during attendance.

Shan was late.

"Shan Natachai?" The professor repeated, and the class turned to look to his chair, but he was not there.

The professor asked their president, Avikiel, to find Shan.

Avikiel stood up promptly. "Yes, sir?"

"Please find Shan Natachai," the professor requested.Avikiel hesitated, but eventually agreed.

Gian, Avikiel's best friend since elementary school, asked, "Sir, can come with ki- I-mean Avikiel?"

The professor allowed it, as long as they returned immediately upon finding Shan.

Avikiel tell gian not to come "You shouldn't come, Gian."

Gian joked, "I want to escape math class! Aren't you tired of it?"

Avikiel replied seriously, "You should study harder."

Avikiel let gian to come,and they continue to find Shan "Where is that bastard" Avikiel said while walking to the hallway. He was literally force to find Shan even though he doesn't want.

(Piano room)

Shan was still playing, he didn't check the time because he was just focus to play piano.

Shan just realized that the time was running when the last 5 songs was finish.

"Oh no... I'm so dumb for not checking the time!" he scolded himself.

Panicked, he rushed out, taking a wrong turn.

"Stupid me! Can't even tell time?! Ugh, think, Shan, think!" he muttered.

He calmed himself, recalling his surroundings.

Meanwhile, Gian suggested to Avikiel, "Kiel, check the piano room; maybe he's there."They found the room open but empty.

Avikiel wondered, "Does he play piano?"

Gian replied, "That's why he transferred schools."

As they searched, Shan suddenly appeared.

Avikiel confronted him, "You! Don't drag us into your mess!"Shan asked, confused, "What did I do?"

Gian intervened, "Shan, the professor's looking for you. "He seems very angry " (Gian whispered) After he heard those words, he just stoped at the door

Shan stood motionless, his heart racing, as Gian's words echoed in his mind. The fear that had momentarily subsided returned with a vengeance.

"I-is he really angry?" Shan wondered, his lips quivering with anxiety.

Gian's warning only heightened his apprehension. "Yes! Get ready, sir will scold you."

Shan's eyes reflected the fear that gripped his heart. He couldn't shake off the feeling of dread.

Avikiel's sneering words cut through the air, "Why are you afraid? If you're scared, don't do it again!" Shan flinched as Avikiel scolded him.

The dismissive tone only deepened Shan's distress.

As Avikiel and Gian walked towards their classroom, Shan lagged behind, his mind racing with worst-case scenarios.

He hesitated at the door, worried about their professor's reaction. His palms grew sweaty, and his breath came in short gasps.

"Shan Natachai, why aren't you entering?" their professor asked, his voice gentle but firm.

Shan slowly pushed open the door and stepped inside, hanging his head in shame. His eyes cast downward, avoiding the professor's gaze.

Avikiel, sitting in the back, ignored him, his expression unreadable. But Shan sensed his disdain.

The professor approached Shan, his movements measured. Shan flinched, anticipating a reprimand.The professor's voice was calm, "Shan, is everything okay?"

But Shan couldn't respond. He was on the verge of fears, his emotions raw.

Just as the professor was about to put a reassuring hand on Shan's shoulder, Shan flinched again, and hastily retreated to his seat.

He buried his face in his arms, struggling to compose himself.The classroom fell silent, with all eyes on Shan.

Avikiel's gaze lingered on him, his expression unyielding. (He doesn't care)

Gian, however, looked on with concern, sensing shan fear

"Did we made something that he fear?" Gian was concerned about Shan "let him be...he deserves it anyway" Avikiel replied with strong tone.

Here is a 1000-word continuation:

Shan's sudden transformation left everyone stunned.

Moments ago, he was on the verge of tears, his face etched with distress.

Now, he bubbled with enthusiasm, words spilling out in rapid-fire succession.

"Hey, guys! Did you know our school's piano room is amazing?" Shan asked, beaming.

Classmates exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes screaming, "How did he changed his emotional sudden? Is he crazy?"

"How can he go from tears to... this?" someone whispered.

"I have no idea," another replied, shaking her head.Shan, however, seemed oblivious to the commotion.

"Avikiel, hey! Want to hear me play sometime?" Shan asked, approaching Avikiel. EVERYONE WAS SHOCKED

Avikiel's gaze flickered, but he remained silent and he rolled his eyes. He seems pissed.Shan continued, undeterred. "I'll play your favorite song!"

Avikiel's expression didn't change "leave me alone" Avikiel face was like he want to throw Shan

Gian watched, intrigued by Shan's boldness.

"Wow he's so brave" .Classmates stared, mouths agape, as Shan literally approached Avikiel without hesitation

"How can he do that?" someone wondered aloud.

"Is he serious?" another asked. Everyone was shocked for being the first student who approached Avikiel without hesitation

"Avikiel, we should study together! I'm great at math," Shan said, grinning. "Stop saying my name" .Avikiel's response was a cold, hard stare.

Shan didn't back down. "I'll help you ace that test!" Avikiel is getting annoy

Gian chuckled. "Shan, you're something else,I think you should stop" Shan doesn't care on what Gian said.

Avikiel turned away, but Shan followed.

"Hey, Avikiel! Want to grab lunch together?" Shan asked, persistent.Avikiel's reply was a curt, "No."

Shan smiled, unfazed. "Maybe next time."

Classmates whispered among themselves.

"Is Shan for real?" someone asked.

"I think he's serious about befriending Avikiel," another replied.

As the bell rang, signaling the end of class, Shan turned to Avikiel.

"See you around, Avikiel! We'll be friends soon!" Shan called out.

Avikiel's response was a dismissive wave.Shan grinned, undeterred.

Gian approached Shan. "You're quite bold."

Shan nodded. "I want to be friends with him."

Gian nodded thoughtfully. "You're brave, Shan."

"WHAT? Everyone shouldn't not treat him like prince..h-he just own this school"

"Just? Omg Shan natachai! You can kick out of time!" Gian whispered..

"I-i don't care"

"Wow" Gian replied.

Here is a 1000-word narrative:

Shan walked down the hallway, his footsteps echoing off the lockers. He had just left his music class, where he had lost himself in the melodies and harmonies that brought him solace. But as he entered the bustling hallway, his anxiety began to creep back in.

As he turned a corner, a group of bullies emerged from the crowd. Their eyes locked onto Shan, and their sneers twisted their faces into cruel grins. Shan's heart skipped a beat as he recognized the leader, a towering figure with a menacing reputation.

"Well, well, well. Look what we have here," the leader sneered, his voice dripping with malice. "If it isn't the little piano boy." The others snickered, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

Shan's palms grew sweaty as he clutched his backpack straps. He knew what was coming. He had faced these bullies before, and each encounter left him shaken. His mind flashed back to his childhood, when his father's temper had left him cowering in fear.

"Hey, Shan. You're pretty brave, aren't you?" one bully taunted, his voice laced with sarcasm. Shan knew better than to respond. He had learned that engaging with bullies only fueled their aggression. So he remained silent, his eyes fixed on the floor.

But the bullies persisted. "Hey, Shan! We're talking to you!" one shouted, his voice rising. Shan's heart racing, he quickened his pace, hoping to escape their attention. However, the bullies closed in, their shadows looming over him.

Shan's breath caught in his throat as he recalled the countless times his father had lashed out at him. The memories still haunted him, and he couldn't shake the fear that these bullies might unleash the same violence. His eyes darted around, searching for an escape or a witness, but the hallway seemed deserted.

The bullies sensed his fear and pressed their advantage. "Look at him, shaking like a leaf," one jeered. Their laughter echoed through the hallway, making Shan's face burn with shame.

Shan's thoughts spiralled into darkness. Why did this always happen to him? Why couldn't he stand up for himself? The bullies seemed to sense his vulnerability, and their taunts grew more vicious.

Just as Shan thought he couldn't take it anymore, the bullies seemed to lose interest. "Forget him, let's go," the leader said, and they turned away, leaving Shan shaken but unscathed.

Shan exhaled slowly, his heart still racing. He knew he had to find a way to overcome his fears and stand up for himself. But for now, he just wanted to escape, to find a safe haven where he could forget the encounter.

As he turned another corner, Gian approached, a concerned expression on his face. "Hey, Shan! What's up?" Shan forced a weak smile, not wanting to burden his friend with his troubles.

Just then, Avikiel appeared, his eyes narrowing at Shan's pale face. "What happened?" he asked, his tone surprisingly gentle. Shan hesitated, unsure how much to reveal.

But something in Avikiel's expression put him at ease. "Just the usual," Shan said, trying to downplay the encounter. Avikiel's gaze lingered, as if sensing there was more to the story.

Gian intervened, breaking the tension. "Hey, guys! Want to grab lunch together?" Shan agreed, grateful for the distraction.

As they walked together, Shan's thoughts slowly untangled. He knew he couldn't let his past define him. He would find a way to overcome his fears and stand up for himself.

But for now, he just took comfort in his friends' presence, knowing that with them by his side, he could face whatever challenges lay ahead.
