SECRET

FORTH SECRET

Than POV 

 Ever since my first A- I've never been able to sleep in my room. Usually, I only have an hour or two of sleep. But for the first time in my life, last night after taking a shower and laying down on the bed, I fell asleep immediately.

 I looked at the clock in my hand. Wow, I slept for eight hours. I didn't know that my rebellion had come to fruition like this.

 I walked to my bedroom window and opened my bedroom window. 

Ah, it's refreshing to be able to wake up at dawn and not feel tired and dizzy, but then I realized something. The bruises on my wrists are now turning blue. It doesn't hurt but how to cover this?!

 I ran to the bathroom and saw the marks on my body.

 "Hah~ I'm in trouble"

 But I looked at my face in the mirror and for the first time in my life, I didn't care. Yup, to hell with what's about to happen. Let's enjoy today, even if something bad happens I'm sure I can face it optimistically. So I showered, got dressed, and went to school, and everything went smoothly. My mom and dad, who usually have breakfast with me, didn't this time.

 "Madam and sir leave early for Taiwan” - My housekeeper replied when I asked about my parents. 

It seems that God is on my side. So I went to school feeling incredibly happy.

 When I got to school, I saw Wat, Thanit, and Kim standing in front of the bulletin board. Not only them but also dozens of other disciples.

 "Did I see it wrong?"

 "Ehm... Don't know how, Dav kept his promise"

 "This is crazy! Music festival at school!"

 "But the conditions!! Argh... I don't think I can pass"

 "Don't worry. I'll help you!"

 "Ehm... Let's escape together!"

 I listened to the comments in front of me with a faint smile.

 "Ai Than!!” - Wat who finally saw me ran up to me and looked at me sullenly.

 "How can you!?!” - He asked.

 "What?” - I asked, pretending not to understand.

 "That proposal? I didn't see it yesterday and how come there's an announcement like this now!"

 I walked to the noticeboard closer. The people who originally gathered gave way to me. I stare at the Music Festival poster that looks like Dav has posted it on the bulletin board.

 "Ah, this? Dav came last night. I reviewed the document, then corrected it a bit. After talking to the principal, he finally agreed” - I replied casually.

 Wat looked at me like I had just betrayed him.

 "You know about the bet!!” - He shouted annoyed. 

Kim, who was standing not far from him, couldn't help but smile widely.

 "Ah. Ehm... I remember but... I thought it would be fun"

 My words were followed by the nods of the dozens of students who were in front of the bulletin board. Wat stomped his foot in annoyance. But he didn't say anything. Kim walked over to Wat and rested his hand on Wat's shoulder. Wat pouted but said nothing.

 "As you promised” - Kim said as he handed his bag to Wat 

"You know what you have to do, don't you?” - He said.
