After walking a few minutes from the noticeboard, Angela arrived at a class that she believed to be hers and don't forget before she got to this class, she put her things in her locker. One of the sheilas in the class who knew Angela closely said to her mates, she was Queenie.

     “ Sweet as, Angela's here!! ” Queenie said. Angela entered the class with a bit of caution because she didn't want to accidentally walk into the wrong class.

     “ What's the matter? ” Angela asked.

     “ Nothing, eh Angela, come sit near me, I'm the only one sitting here you know!!! ” Nina, Angela's other friend answered. Then Angela came and sat next to Nina.

     “ Do you come to school as per usual? No one sent you? ” Nina asked, gazing at Angela's stunning face that resembled her father's.

     “ Yeah, as per usual. Who do you reckon I came with? ” Angela queried Nina.

     “ I thought you were sent by a boyfriend ” Nina said jokingly.

     “ You keep thinking I have a boyfriend, I don't have a boyfriend ” Angela denied.

     “ Stink! Can I reckon on it? ” Nina deliberately tested Angela's patience because she wanted to see how much patience Angela had. Angela was seen breathing heavily.

     “ Sweet as!! ” Angela said. “  Who's gonna be our new class teacher this time? ” Angela asked again.

     “ Who else do you reckon, if not Ms. Linda Watson? ” Nina responded to Angela's question. Angela pictured Ms. Linda Watson's face and recalled her slightly flirtatious behaviour whenever she encountered a good-looking man, always keen to charm them.

An old man who is a gardener and cleans the school is seen ringing the bell to signal that it's break time. All the students rushed out of their classes and headed to their desired destinations. Meanwhile, Angela appears to be heading towards the endowment, she is the only one without her friends. There was also a well-dressed young man in a light blue coat. The man's face is also handsome with blue eyes and blond hair.

     “ Ugh, so bloody annoying! On the very first day of school, I was told to go have lunch by myself! What sort of mates are they?! ” Angela grumbled to herself. The man glanced at Angela, curious as to why this girl was muttering to herself. Angela, noticing the man looking at her, met his gaze.

     “ What? ” Angela asked the man.

     “ Oh, nothing. What are you going on about, mate? Who are you pissed off at? ” the man asked Angela.

     “ I'm not angry, I'm just gutted with my mates, ” Angela said as she looked at the bloke then she saw a name tag MR. CHARLIE DEAN on the coat the bloke was wearing. "Are you a new teacher?" Angela asked.

     “ Yeah, I'm a new teacher here, teaching English, ” the man replied casually. Angela simply nodded in response. “ Are you not going to have lunch at the cafeteria? ” the man asked again, noticing Angela getting up and standing.

     “ I'm a bit slack, ” Angela answered while walking away without saying excuse me to the man.

      “ There are also people who behave like this, want to eat and are slack too? Should be she's thin like a skewer! ” The man said looking at Angela who was already a distance.

The current location is aimed at a university whose name is kept secret, actually the author herself does not know the name of the university, or more precisely in the canteen that is always full of the students studying there. A very familiar figure is seen tucking into chocolate-covered doughnuts on his own, without his siblings or other mates around. It's Arjuna Naverio, the third child of Michael and Maria. As Arjuna greedily devoured his doughnut, someone snuck up behind him and startled him, causing him to cough. It was his mischievous brother, Henry. 

     “ What the heck is wrong with you? Luckily I didn't kick the bucket young, you know! ” said Juna, a nickname for Arjuna Naverio. He was disgusted to see Henry grinning like a rotten mussel.

     “ I'm stoked now, Juna!! You know why?! ” Henry said.

     “ You didn't tell me, mate! How am I supposed to know? What's up? ” Juna asked Henry.

     “ Carrie has accepted me, Junaaaaaa!! ” Juna quickly covered his ears as Henry yelled in his ear, causing Juna's ears to ring from Henry's antics.

     “ Strewth, my ears!!! Lucky they're not deaf, ” Juna said while touching his buzzing ear. “ You're a real piece of work! ” Juna said again, glaring at Henry.

     “ Sorry mate, didn't mean it, ” Henry said, still grinning like a possum eating a sweet potato.

     “ What do you mean Carrie accepted you? ” Juna asked Henry.

     “ Carrie has accepted me as her boyfriend, Juna! ” Henry said again while shedding his manly tears. “ I was chuffed. ” Juna, who saw Henry's over-the-top behaviour, felt puzzled as to why Henry was acting like this and who Carrie was.

     “ Carrie? Who's Carrie? ” Juna asked, frowning. Henry, who was happy, of course, his face changed when Juna asked who Carrie was.

     “ You don't remember who Carrie is? Or are you pretending not to remember? ” Henry questioned.

     “ Carrie? Who's Carrie? ” Juna asked, frowning. Henry, who was happy, of course, his face changed when Juna asked who Carrie was.

     “ You don't remember who Carrie is? Or are you pretending not to remember? ” Henry questioned.

     “ This is what I can't stand about you, forgetful! Carrie is the daughter of Mr. Frederick and Catherine Olson. She is the girl I've loved from the get-go! ” Henry explains to his forgetful little brother who Carrie is.

     “ Uh, I don't know who she is, ” Juna answered, as if he didn't care about Henry and even Carrie, he seems to be busy with his own world.

     “ It's alright if you don't know her, I'm just wasting my time talking to you! ” Henry said as he walked away with a sour face like a tamarillo. Juna just stared at Henry, after Henry left it was Jessica who approached Juna.

     “ Juna, what's up with Henry? ” Jessica asked.

     “ I don't know, maybe he just finished eating durian, ” Juna replied.

     “ Uh, durian? Where is durian from? ” Jessica doesn't understand why Juna mentioned durian, but she thinks Juna's mental illness is resurfacing.

     “ I dunno, ” Juna replied with a shrug.

     “ Anyways, what did you learn in class? ” Jessica changed the subject of the conversation.

     “ I don't know, what did I learn earlier? ” Juna asked back. Jessica, on the other hand, was more and more puzzled by Juna's behaviour.

     “ I asked you but you asked me back! Your sickness is really bad! ” Jessica said as she walked away, leaving Juna alone in the cafeteria.

     “ Oi, I don't know her at all, all of a sudden she wants to be angry with me?! ” said Juna alone as he looked at Jessica who was walking away.
