Cheng Xiao shook the thoughts away from her head. "You're a warrior, Cheng Xiao. Don't let no demon enter your mind," she muttered to herself, as she took out a gun and a knife. Many students were shakily peeking from the windows, taking a look at the boss. Cheng Xiao blinked the rain away from her eyelids but did not notice a stray tear was falling off as well. She spun her knife and ran towards the boss with a holler that resounded around the whole school, giving students goosebumps at how the cry was filled with.

Despise, loneliness, and sorrow.

The students watched the bloody, drenched Cheng Xiao fight a bigger, stronger, and more powerful man. She shot him in the leg, causing him to collapse. He attempted to slash her neck, but she dodged, causing the knife to go against her shoulder. She took the hand with the knife and twisted it, and the man shouted at the pain.

"Aisha...? AISHA! AISHA, WHERE ARE YOU?" Hyunsuk shouted, causing Mr Im, who was with them, to curse out loud.

Aisha sprinted down the hallway and hid behind a pillar when she spotted a hitman. She sneaked towards him like a cunning fox and kicked him down the staircase. When he was unconscious, she ran down to the field.

She hid behind a barricade and watched Cheng Xiao fight the boss, watching if she was seriously hurt or not. The man slowly stood up but Cheng Xiao kicked his wound, and he fell back on the floor. But he shot Cheng Xiao's leg, and she fell too.

Aisha remained in her position, staying as still as possible.

"Oh well look, is that your friend?" The boss cackled, and Aisha was shocked. Cheng Xiao looked at the barricade. "NO!"

"Did your father ever teach you to think of the big picture? I saw your dear friend sneak here but I decided to distract you," the man said, cackling even louder. He took his gun.

"BANG!"

Aisha fell into a limp position, and the barricade became stained by her blood. Her uniform blouse was bloody in the middle, and the rain diluted it into a pale red colour. Cheng Xiao let out a miserable cry and tried to move towards her best friend, but the man pushed her down and kicked her knife and gun away. He limped towards the bloody body.

"This is what you're going to suffer if your father isn't coming back, Cheng Xiao." He pointed to Aisha's body while Cheng Xiao's tears started falling down rapidly. "Get your father to-" The boss slumped down onto the floor, and behind him, revealed Aisha, sitting up with her left hand while the other held a knife.

"You aren't using her to make her father come back. She's her own life, bitch," Aisha snarled. Her hands gave way and she lay down on the floor.

"AISHA!" Cheng Xiao shouted and staggered towards her best friend's body.

"It's okay, Cheng Xiao. I love you, and don't make me your burden when you grow up. Grow up well, don't disappoint me..."

Deja vu. The same words her mother told her before she died. She lost two important people in her life. Cheng Xiao started screaming, and took a gun and started shooting the boss multiple times until she felt that it was enough for him to be sent to hell. Isa ran towards Aisha.

"Aisha, we can still take you to the hospital, hang in there."

"It's okay Isa. It's gonna be over soon, the pain will be gone soon. I love you, and remember what I said..." Aisha's eyes became still, and she was no longer breathing. Isa's tears became hot and they started spilling over Aisha's body. She wiped them away with her soaked up sleeves and started shooting all of the hitmen who were escaping.

No one was expecting this. No one was supposed to be dead, but now, all the students and faculty in Jinhwa High School were mourning over a girl's death who could've grown up to be something big.

Aisha is, dead.
