Chongyun quickly brushed his hair out and headed out the door to see Xingqiu waiting for him. The two started walking to school with Xiangling joining in a little later.

"I made a new dish I want you two to try!" Xiangling broke the silence.

"Is it spicy?" Chongyun had his normal, unimpressed look on his face as he pulled a popsicle out and put it in his mouth.

"No. I promise." Xiangling lied bluntly, but Chongyun couldn't see it.

"Hey Chongyun. I heard that there's a spot in the boys bathroom where ghosts are. Maybe this is your chance to see one." Xingqiu was tricking Chongyun into going there for no reason.

"You already told me that trick." Chongyun put his hands behind his head.

"Aw, you're no fun." Xingqiu frowned. They arrived at their school and headed towards the lockers. They all usually have about 30 minutes before class starts.

"What should we do today?" Xingqiu said to them.

"I'm gonna go to the bathroom." Chongyun turned around and headed to the bathroom.

"You gonna take care of the spirit I told you about?" Xingqiu joked.

"Ha ha, very funny." Chongyun shouted back at them before he went into the bathroom.

After a few minutes of awkward silence, Xiangling spoke.

"Wanna go spy on him?" Xiangling whispered in Xingqiu's ear.

"Yeah." Xingqiu whispered back and they sneaked over to the bathroom and quietly opened the door. They were started by the sound of crying and splattering of what they thought was water.

"What's going on in there?" Xiangling whispered.

"I... don't know. I'm going to check it out," Xingqiu said. He walked into the bathroom quietly and looked around the small corner that separated the sinks from the stalls.

Xingqiu was frightened at the sight of seeing Chongyun, blade in hand one hand, phone in the other, and blood dripping from off of his wrist. He was gasping from a loss of breath from crying.

Xingqiu quickly got out of the bathroom, frightened.

"Xingqiu? What happened?" Xiangling hugged Xingqiu. Xingqiu couldn't utter a single word.

Before Xingqiu walked in, Chongyun got a call from his father.

"Yes sir?" Chongyun answered the phone.

"Where are you!?" Chongyun's father shouted.

"S-school, sir."

"And you didn't tell me!? You know that you're supposed to come to me before you leave the house!"

"I-I know... but I would be late if--"

"Shut up! I don't care if you were going to be late or anything! You are supposed to come to me before you leave! You know that, you damn fucking abortion!"

"Wh-wha... I... f-father..." Chongyun stuttered.

"I told you not to call me father! It's 'sir' to you! I already told you that how many times already!? You're going to pay for that you damn brat!" Chongyun's father shouted at him.
