"Woahhh, Ai'Gun, you look like crap," was the first thing Gun heard when he entered the classroom.

"Enough, Win. Gun didn't even come to school yesterday. Imagine, it's only been a week since school started, and he's already absent," Phat remarked.

"You too, Phat. You're rubbing salt in the wound. Don't pay attention to them, Gun. By the way, Gun, what really happened to you?" Sound asked, patting Gun on the back.

"Nothing, Sound. I wasn't feeling well yesterday, so I took the day off. I'm sorry for making you worry," Gun said, smiling.

"It's okay, Gun. If you're not feeling well, then rest. It was nothing special yesterday, just that the principal's son has become so famous in school. Even Phat couldn't come up with answers during the recitation activities. He's so damn genius; all his answers are correct and perfect," Por said, waving his hand.

"Shia, Ai'Por. Why are you dragging my name into this? I couldn't answer not because I didn't know, he's just too fast," Phat defended himself.

"Quiet, guys. He's here."

Phat wanted to hit Por on the head when Yo suddenly announced it.

When the guy who was the topic of discussion entered the classroom, the group fell silent and turned their backs to avoid being obvious.

"Psst, Gun, don't look at him. He might think we're talking behind his back," Win reminded Gun.

"Oh... Sorry," Gun said.

As Gun turned back to face his friends, the guy suddenly glanced at him and then went back to looking at his textbook.

...

"Do you see, Gun? He's so smart, right?" Por commented while eating his lunch.

"Ai'Por, you keep praising that Tinn guy. Do you have feelings for him or something?" Phat teased while eating his sausage.

"It's called being a fanboy. What if he becomes my friend? I could become famous too... A genius and handsome friend," Por said, dreamily.

"Stop it, Por. By the way, Gun, I think you need to talk to the president," Sound suggested.

"Huh? Why?" Gun was startled while drinking his water.

"You've already forgotten what the principal said," Phat reminded him.

"Ah... Oh... Ai'Sound, can you do it?" Gun pleaded with Sound.

"You're the band leader. Why are you passing the responsibility to me?" Sound scolded Gun.

"But..."

"Ah... Because of what happened on the rooftop, hah... Why, did something happen at that time?" Por teased Gun.

"Not... Nothing... Fine, I will do it."

...

"This is the counselor's room, right?" Gun muttered to himself, tiptoeing in front of the door because he couldn't see inside.

"Excuse me, what are you doing?"

My dear carrots,

Would you like an introduction to the characters? 😀 If not, I won't provide it, and non-fans can try to guess the other characters. 😆
