Two days pass after the match. This morning, Haris went to the Mall to prepare everything he needed for the trip around four days from now. Haris wishes Jonathan and Leo could join but they can't join because they have gone outside of town for family business, so Haris goes alone and decides to buy anything he needs. He also wishes to buy a new pair of suits for the prom night. Haris loves blue but when he tries to find a blue suit, he can't find anything except red, pink, black also white.
Haris walked desperately until he didn't see the way he went and he hit someone. He saw the girl fall because of her bump on his chest. Haris spoke and felt so clumsy and said his sorry while giving his hand and helping her to stand.
"I'm sorry! I didn't see where I wanna go, are you okay?" He said while looking at the girl and the girl took his hand and stood.
"No no, it's also my fault. I'm sorry too! I'm fine, did I-"
"Lilibet?"
"Haris? What are you doing here? I mean, of course, you can go anywhere... I mean, Hi!"
"Hi, I'm so sorry for crashing into you. I should be more careful and see where am I going"
"It's also my fault actually, how about I buy you a drink for that? besides I'm so bored wandering this Mall all alone like a stupid ghost searching her grave" Said Lilibet while taking her belongings and looking at Haris who also gathered all his belongings, "You coming?" She said and Haris nodded then followed her.

They decided to go to Starbucks and bought two drinks. They didn't believe that they could meet each other again after the match and now they're meeting alone without anyone looking or staring at them and they seem happy with that. As if the wheel of destiny delivers them to be together for some time. Lilibet looks surprised when she sees Haris choose the same menu as her.
"I didn't know that you like Matcha latte as well!" Said Lilibet while paying for the drinks and Haris just nodded shyly.
"You shouldn't buy me, Lilibet. I mean like, I can buy you cake if you want?" Haris replied and Lilibet just giggled hearing that but deep inside her eyes, she knew that Haris meant it.
"It's okay, it's also part of my sorry" She replied and both of them sat by the window and talked for some time.
They spend the afternoon together in Starbucks and together they talking many things including their plans for the trip and everything related to school and university. Haris realized what his friends said about Lilibet was true. Lilibet is a special and unusual girl who makes him melt every time she's smiling and tells him how amazing he was in the basketball match.
"You know, I always love jock that exercise at school, but some of them are jerks! I hate them, but you're different. I can tell you that" Lilibet said while drinking her matcha latte.
Haris giggled when he saw a whipped cream covering her upper lips and without hesitation, Haris quickly brushed it gently from her, "I'm sorry... there's... um... there" He said while wiping that cream from her and making Lilibet blush.

Along the way, they spend some more time going around the Mall and buying all they need for the trip including helping Lilibet find her things. Haris is happy that can help Lilibet while Lilibet feels the same because she has a friend to talk with while looking and wandering around the huge Mall.
Neither Lilibet nor Haris find comfort in each other's arms and fill their space for every teenager who wishes to have someone who can accept each other. After they got what they wanted they decided to head home and take some rest before tomorrow they still have school to attend.
"Thanks a lot for accompanying me today, Haris," Said Lilibet, and Haris just nodded while his belongings.
"It's okay, I'm happy I can help you"
"Hey, wanna come to my house perhaps?"
"No, I still have a promise with my mom to help her with her shop, I think I'll pass this one" Haris replied and Lilibet nodded.
"Right then, see you tomorrow!"

The following morning, Haris that working at the school garden stopped when Jonathan informed him that Leo fought with a group of bad boys by the corridor. Without wasting any time, Haris quickly goes with Jonathan to save Leo.
The corridor is empty, there are no students he finds that Leo and the Badboy group are inside a class.
"Your problem is with me! Not him, release him!" Demands Haris but they laugh and the lead of them comes and punches Haris by the jaw.
"Stand up you coward! Face me! Fight me!! Fight me you jerk!" Screamed the guy who punched Haris, Haris groaned and fought him back.
The two boys fighting and groaning on the floor. They punch each other and try to hold their pain but no matter how hard they try, they already hurt, and holding the pain seems useless. In the middle of their fight, the class door swings open and reveals Lilibet running in panic and trying to separate them.
"STOP!! STOP BOTH OF YOU!! DON'T DO-" She can't finish her words when the Badboy lead accidentally punches her instead of Haris.
Lilibet fell unconscious and almost hit her head on the floor but Haris quickly held her.
"Li... Lili... Argh! Jo! Help! Lili hold argh! Hold on! Lilibet!" Screamed Haris while forcing himself and fight all the pain to take Lilibet to the nursery room.
On their way, Basil found out what happened and quickly ran towards the nursery to seek for Lilibet. Leo and Jonathan quickly opened the nursery door and let Haris and Lilibet enter and Basil came filled with rage and ready to punch Haris for lesson.
