When Leah, Mia, and Grace woke up, they were already in the infirmary, some students took them there. They were lying on mats in the infirmary which felt stuffy and hot. Leah started to wake up and when she opened her eyes, it turned out that Darcy was there. Evie was the first thing that crossed Leah's mind when she fell into a slump and her tears started flowing again.
Darcy who watched could only ponder, he didn't know what to do. Likewise Althan who stood leaning against the wall. The walls of the infirmary are pale white, and the bottom part of the walls are starting to turn black because of the dirt and scribbles of students who deliberately scribble on the walls. Near Althan leaned a lot of health signboards and posters. Techniques for handling students who have fainted, to how to clean wounds.
There were only them in the infirmary. All the students have gone home, and some of them have joined the teachers to the funeral home. Grace a
Luckily when they arrived, the coffin had not been buried. Leah, Grace, Darcy, and Althan had joined the Beatancy High School students who were mourning. For the umpteenth time, Grace cried when she saw the coffin containing Evie's body being lowered into the grave, Leah and Mia, who hugged her to strengthen her, even cried with her. They no longer cry because they are sorry like when they were in the infirmary, now they cry because of a question that pierces their chest. Why would they do something absolutely fatal for the sake of envy? None of them could answer that question, they could only cry to wash their dirty souls. If that's all enough.Almost all the mourners who came cried when the coffin containing Evie's body began to be lowered into the grave, the clear sky turned dark and a cold wind swept over the mourners. The leaves on some of the big trees began to move in the gust of wind, they whispered in a language that could never be understood but could
When the funeral procession was over, the mourners began to greet Olivia and her mother. They give a series of words to convey how sorry they are for Evie's death. Olivia served them with the best smile she could give and a modest thank you.At first it was relatives who gave their condolences, then neighbours and close family friends. And the last one is all shook hands with Olivia and her mother without missing a beat.They also tried to strengthen the feelings of Olivia and her mother to let Evie go because it was God's way. Olivia wanted to laugh out loud when she heard that old line, which God? That reckless God? God who left her sister untouched until her last moment? God had to give help to her sister at the last moment of her life as she often saw in TV series and cinema, but the God didn't do it anyway. So, just tell God, if I don't need comfort from that.Almost all the teachers and students of Beatancy High Sc
Mia stepped into her house, Leah watched her until she stood on the veranda of the house. Mia smiled her last smile before entering the house, and Leah ordered the driver to leave Mia's house. Leah told the driver to drive faster because she was really tired, and needed a warm shower to relax her tense muscles.Her stomach was also starting to feel hungry, after the nausea whacked her stomach for several hours, finally the tight feeling of hunger came. Not until fifteen minutes later Leah's car arrived at her house, Leah's driver drove the car very carefully when they entered garage.Leah immediately got off as soon as her car was perfectly parked, she walked into the house. Heavy rain fell when Leah opened the front door of her house, she looked up. It finally rained after the black clouds had hung in the sky for a long time, and the air was getting colder and colder.Leah passed the living room and found her mother sit
This morning Leah was late, she getting out of her car and she rushed to class. Last night she could not sleep because of the sound she was sure was heard from outside her bedroom window, the sound was like the sound of someone crying bitterly. The voice sounded so far away, but it was clear enough for one to know that it was crying. There was someone crying in front of her house last night. Although she wasn't so sure, a part of her brain that was in charge of recording what was happening around her said so.There has been a significant change in the school's atmosphere, now Beatancy's students don't talk much anymore. Those who used to shout, run around, and mock anyone who was suitable as a target now just sat in silence.They were just busy eating their food, even students who were known to be troublemakers turned a hundred and eighty degrees into quiet students. As if there was a black fog that enveloped Beat
Monday morning is the busiest day at Beatancy High School. Around half past seven in the morning, a group of student had flocked into the school gate which was painted red with a circle craved on the top.At eight o’clock the gate will be closed and the lesson will start, not for the student council, the entire student council sat at white table. Not only members, all student council administrators and tutors sit in the line of hardworking-faced students.

This seminar is planned to bring in a keynote speaker, famous capital city artist.

At the same time, in their respective homes. Grace, Mia, and Leah were busy tweeting. Grace sat in her living room with the television on. She didn't watch at all, her eyes were glued to her smartphone. Her thumb kept dancing on the buttons of her cell phone, occasionally she chuckled. The situation is not much different from what Leah and Mia did.They lay on their bed with smart phones in their hands, it turns out they are replying to tweets on. It all started with Grace's tweet about thirty minutes ago, a tweet that contains:@Grace: I didn't think I could be as loyal as anyone.A tweet that Mia saw and she added.@Mia: @Grace Yes, I'm really lazy. Why try her must enter the committee?Grace smiled when a notification came into her cellphone, she replied.@Grace: @Mia she is already fat, and Mrs. Know It All. Do you still remember how she pretended to know
Darcy is really good at driving, he can get through the suffocating traffic jam and sprint to a mall. The car stopped at the mall's main door, and a security guard opened the passenger door."Just get off first, I'll park first. I'll catch up later at the cafe, okay?" Darcy bends his body to approach the window open passengers. "Okay, don't wait too long," Mia replied while closing door, and waved his hand.The black windows were closed, and Darcy' car sped down the aisle to the mall parking area. It turned out that finding a place to park the car was not an easy task, Darcy really worked hard for it."It's called Saturday for nothing," he grumbled as he came down from car.He pressed a button on the car keys, a few short sirens coming out of his car accompanied by the blink of his four cents. Darcy walked quickly, and entered the mall through a clear glass door in the middle of the parking lot. He g
That Sunday afternoon Evie was at a mall with her sister and mother, shopping on the weekends was a ritual they never missed. That's when they all take a break from the busy daily life that is often times separate them, and can gather together even if just for shopping.Evie walked behind Olivia and her mother who walked side by side, each of them looking so busy with several shopping bags in their hands. While Evie did not bring anything, she was just busy enjoying her favorite ice cream which she bought at a shop near the mall entrance. The melted ice cream dripped onto her gray cardigan, she rubbed the slightly rough surface to brush off the dripping ice cream.It was so crowded around them, it seemed like almost everyone in the town they lived in was there. In restaurants, in theaters, in coffee shops, in rows of clothing stores, and walking along the paths in malls. Since they entered the mall, her mother had seen about six of her acqua
