"HOOHHHH." Allen's mouth was opened as he looked at his phone, exaggerately reacting.
"What?" Mason asked.
"Haruto just asked me if I could help him do his part on his project with Harper." He smiled. "I gasped because now, I know I'm good at art." He scrunched his nose.
Yoshi rolled his eyes. "I thought you gasped because of the fact that Haruto is partners with Harper."
"What?! He is?" Allen widened his eyes. "Oh.. yeah, he is!" He laughed. "I just realized." Hunter looked him with no expression. "You look scary." He looked away.
"It's because of your dumb self." The boys laughed at Hunter's response.
"I wonder what will be the plot of the story Harper's writing." Mason fiddled with his pen.
"Love story is good! It might help Haruto fall for Harper." Jace butted in.
The boys furrowed their eye brows at him. "Since when did you got here?"
"Just now. Hehe."
"But I don't think he will read it. He'll just print out the story and give it to Harper." Owen, another friend pointed out.
"I think that's something YOU would do, Owen." Hunter said.
He just shrugged.

"I'm done eating." Harper caressed her tummy. "Hah.."
Dylan smiled. "Let's go, then." She nodded.
They went to put back their plates first, before walking around the school. "Should we go to the rooftop?" The looked at her.
"I was actually thinking of that." She giggled. "Zie, will you go with us?"
"Ha! Thought you forgot that I'm here." Minzy pouted. "But no, I won't. I have something to discuss with Jason so I gotta go back to the classroom." She smiled.
"Ah, I envy you for having a nice partner." Harper looked down.
"Hehe. I'll go now!" Minzy waved at the both of them. "Have fun with him, ahuh?" She whispered at her best friend before winking.
"Really."
Harp faced Dylan again. "Let's go."
They went to the rooftop together and leaned at a wall. "I feel so free here. I feel like I'm out of the hell called school." She laughed. "Specially now, that I'm kind of stressed out at the moment."
He looked at her. "Hmm?"
"I can't think of any nice plot for our project yet. We have to submit it by next week and I already want it to be done by now."
"Aww, I'll help you." Dylan smiled at her.
She looked up at him and nodded.
"Who are you partnered with, by the way?"
"Unfortunately, Nakayama Haruto."
He looked away. "Oh."
"Why?"
"Nothing." He smiled again.
Harper looked at her wrist watch. "Ah, Dyl.. We should go back now."
The boy nodded and went down with Harper. He took her back to her classroom first.
"Thanks. Go back to your room, you might get late." She went inside the classroom.
Dylan nodded and walked away.
Haruto tilted his head. "Who is that?"
"Oh it's Dykan. Don't you know him? He's always been with Harper." Jace answered.
"No, I've been seeing him but I don't know his name."
Jace laughed. "Why? You're jealous, aren't you?"
Haruto looked back at him and furrowed his eye brows. "Why would I get jealous?"
"Haruto, don't you think Harp's attractive?" Jace raised both of his eye brows twice. "I think she is."
"No, I don't. Get your eyes checked." Haruto fixed himself.
"Hmm, liar." Jace whispered to himself.
Haruto started crumpling a paper and threw it.
It hit Harper's shoulder. She looked around to see which direction  it came from and she could see only Haruto looking at her. She picked it up and threw it back to his face.
"Hey, don't ruin a beautiful face!"
"B-BEAUTIFUL?!" Harper laughed. "EW, NO! AND ALSO, YOU THREW IT FIRST!"
"Hey! What is the yelling about?!"
The students all went back to their seats and fixed themselves. "Mr. Nakayama, Ms. Gray?"
"STAND UP!" The terror teacher hit the table, making a loud noise.
They both stood up. "Sir, I-."
"I don't need your explanations, I heard you both yelling and that's enough for me to make you go out of my class!" Harper looked down and Haruto swallowed. "I'm in a very very bad mood today and you both are making it worse. OUT. OF. THE. ROOM. NOW!"
Haruto walked out of the class with his hands inside his pockets. "Is he real?" The girl whispered to herself.
Feeling the teacher's eyes on her, she slowly followed Haruto out of the classroom.
"Fucking shit." Harper looked at Haruto. "This is your fault."
Haruto's eyes are just looking straight in front of him, expressionless.
"We are supposed to take a quiz in this period. This is bad, I can't miss a test!" She sat down the ground. "Oh, and you're seriously not gonna say anything?"
"It isn't the first time that I got kicked out of the class, right?" He finally looked at her. "I'm good with this. But bad for you."
He stuck his tongue out at her.
She rolled her eyes. "You know what, good thing I can't yell at you or beat you up right now cause I might get heard by the class. How come you still have good grades.."
Haruto just shrugged.
"Why did you even threw that paper?" Harp asked, crossing her arms.
"I was about to ask about the project." Haruto fixed himself. "Any progress?" He asked, bringing out his phone.
"I still haven't think of-."
"Don't talk to me, I don't talk to ugly people." He said, looking at his phone.
"YOU ASKED, WHAT THE F- UGH!"
Haruto just smirked, knowing what's next.
The door opened. "YOU TWO, DETENTION!"
