Zee had been following Saint for days now. He would rather went to school early, than snooze off his bed. He promised Saint that he won't bother him anymore, so it enough for him to just follow Saint from afar. He got used driving him to school, and now that it's no longer happening, he feels empty. He wouldn't deny that Saint had been so sneaky since the day near the bench, he seldomly saw him eating in canteen with Tommy and Poppy.  Saint's not around whenever Tommy, Poppy, Jimmy, Park and him decided to meet up, it's like a big of his has been taken off. Have you moved on, Saint?, Zee thought to himself.

***********

Saint would arrive very early at school for one reason, he wished not to see Zee and the chance to meet him when he go to school on his usual time, their usual time, Saint smiled which vanished immediately soon as he realized what he's doing.

"Saint", Tommy rushed towards Saint who's busy writing his modules for the moment.

"Why run?", He replied then close his notes.

"Poppy's hunting me, let's eat, Saint. I'm hungry.", Tommy pouted, shaking his shoulder.

"You go ahead, P', I have to finish this. I have to submit this by 2.", He smiled reassuring Tommy for Tommy's eyes already narrowed.

"Skipping lunch again?", Tommy crossed his arms before his chest.

"Yeah,"

"Saint, homeworks can wait. We're worried about you, you're not the bright Saint, we used to know..", Tommy looked straight to Saint's eyes.

"P'," Saint looked away.

"Saint, I know you're hurting, and that's the very reason why I don't push you telling us what really happened between you and Zee, ah no, I don't have the right, to be exact.", Saint snapped and looked at Tommy. He didn't mean to let Tommy feel that way, Saint thought to himself. "...but whatever the reason it, don't let it consume you. Don't let it change you", he added

"I'm sorry, P. I..", Saint couldn't finish his words when Tommy cut him.

"It's okay, if you don't want to eat lunch, then I'll just go get you sandwich. I'll just go get Poppy", Tommy walked away without looking at Saint, he's not mad, he's disappointed.

"Sorry, I didn't mean it to be like that." Saint murmured thinking that he might have let them feel like it. Saint bumped his head on the table multiple times, no one know how painful it is. "Stupid Saint, stupid Saint", he kept saying the same words in between. He didn't care if all eyes on him.

***************

Tommy immediately looked for Poppy, he found him near the front pillar of the canteen, he rushed towards him and hugged him, the hotdog that wasn't even taken a bite was already on the ground out of his shock. My hotdog!! Poppy screamed on his mind.

"What wrong with you?", Poppy now thrown his attention to the one who's hugging him. "And where's Saint?", Tommy broke the hug.

"He won't eat lunch.",

"Again?", Poppy exclaimed.

"Yeah.", Tommy nodded abruptly

"That kid.. so, what happened to you..",

"Poppy, I think I just pressured Saint..", Tommy looked at Poppy worried.

"About?", Poppy replied with his frowned eyebrows.

"Well.." Tommy told Poppy about what happened, Poppy just laughed at him, which made him furious. "Why are you laughing? I'm stressed, here.", He added.
