Part 4

"Wow!!! What is this place.."

"School..." Plan had the urge to roll his eyes now.

"Wow...then why does your cafeteria look like a shopping mall food court.."

Plan just smiled at the adorable being.

"Wow...look at that statute.." Beam was like a small child on his first visit to an amusement park.

"Plan...what happens there??"

"It's a lab for astrology.."

"Wow.." Beam's eyes sparkle some more. He automatically moved off the route toward the astrology room as his eyes laid on the telescope.

"Can you stop dragging me, left or right....let's walk straight.." Plan sighed. He felt powerless under Beam's grip. Maybe because his already lean body has become more unfit as in the last two months all he did was drink and have a small emotional outburst from time to time.

Beam pouted but nevertheless both the boys walked the school corridor together holding hands.

"Why are we doing this...Can't we do this some other day....Until mom finds a solution for your case."

"Do you think I wanted to step out of there??... I got a call that I need to be here today...and I wanted to see someone..."

As he reached near the locker room his steps fastened in place. Beam held his hand more tightly and was walking 3 steps at a time to match Plan's pace.

As soon as he was near the door he could listen to a loud voice screaming at everyone.

Listening to it. He felt relieved. He ran inside and hugged the man from behind.

Gulf turned his head and looked at Plan. Gulf is a coach of the football team.

"You.....albino monkey...I want to beat the shit out of you...you !!! I called you so many times....What's with the smile on your face....You shameless creature .... Don't you think your skin is way too hard.... Don't just come to me when you cause problems.."

Gulf was so angry that he spoke in distorted sentences, scolding Plan for each and every habit he has.

A boy by the Gulf side poked him.

"Don't stop me, he is so dead..."

Gulf turned to look at Plan's face which looked so ugly from crying and snot dripping down his face.

Even Beam was surprised he hurried up to take out his handkerchief. Plan has been crying without even making a sound. Beam thought this was a talent in himself.

Before he could help him, Gulf stepped up.

"What happened to you?? Who bullied you....Tell me!! I am still not dead.."

Plan nodded his head in disapproval while Gulf was shaking his head.

" You...why would you cry then??... Won't tell me who bullied you??.."

Plan hugged the person quite tightly. Even Beam's hand was moved with Plan momentum.

Gulf just patted his head and looked around to dismiss everyone.

"You feel better now.."

As they sat in the Gulf cabin. Gulf finally pointed to the elephant in the room.

"Till when you guys will keep holding hands..."

Plan just smiled but didn't let go of the hand while Beam just looked around the room in fascination not listening to anything that's been said.
