"Oh, gosh, will I really join? I have to find a partner! God!! I can't!" Hazel is talking to herself. She don't know what to do.  She's being stressed. "No, no, Hazel calm down! You can't be overthinker again." Hazel have a resperatory illness and if she get stressed it will trigger it. She will feel breatheless. She drink a glass of water and decided to take a walk.

[OUTSIDE HER APARTMENT]

She's just walking while using her phone when she bumped into a pregnant woman. The woman is carryng a bag of groceries and the fruit she bought fell down so Hazel picked 'em up. "Oh, I'm sorry. Are you all right?" Hazel apologized. "Yeah, I'm... Hazel?" The woman recognized Hazel because of the scar she have on her left cheek. "Hi... do I know you?" Hazel confusedly asked. "Don't you remember me? I'm the woman you helped on the other day. The day when me and my husband are walking and someone approached. They tried to kill us but you help us. I wonder how you do that. Your so fast and it's like you got trained from your whole of your life." The woman replied. Hazel remembered it, there are men who tried to kill them but she came. She used her skills to fight and knocked them out. "Oh, I, I actually know Jui-Jitsu and Taekwondo. Yes, I got trained for... 2 years." Hazel said. Yes, Hazel is lying because she actually got trained for almost 12 years. "Um, is your husband is okay?" Hazel asked. "Yes, thank you si much fir saving us." The woman thanked Hazel. "Um, I will go to a cafe to buy, wanna come with me, I'll treat you!" Hazel asked. "Why not?" The woman replied.

They both go to the M & J Cafe. Hazel is always going there to buy patries and coffees. Of course her favorite one, dark coffee. They bought coffees for Hazel, for the pregnant woman and her husband. The woman thanked Hazel again before they go. Now, it's time to go home. When, Hazel go home, she saw a letter on her desk. It's from Nick. But who's Nick? Hazel open the letter and read it.

Dear Hazel,

"It's Nick, I know, you know it. I won't ask you about your health. I just wanted to know... How was your..."

Hazel didn't continue reading and just throw the letter on the trash. She knows that it useless for her to read such bullshit letter from a bitch. She knows where the letter came from and who wrote it. After she throw the letter on the trash she got a call from Jillian. She don't want to answer it thinking of what if Jillian just want to talk about Samuel, but she answered it anyways. "Hello?" Hazel spoke. "Aish, finally, you answered me, Hazel." Jillian said. "Okay, so what do you want to talk about? If it's about Samuel, well, your just wasting your time 'cause I don't want to talk about him, okay?" Hazel said. "Why? What's wrong?" Jullian asked. "I said, I don't want to talk about him. Am I making myself clear?" Hazel s said. "Hey, calm down girl, don't be so sarcastic." Jillian said. "Jillian listen, I smell something fishy, and don't ask me about it. Keep it on your mind, I don't want him." Hazel said and turn off her phone. Jillian is very curious about Hazel. What did she meant? What is she talking about? What's the "something fishy?" Those questions keeping appearing on her mind. "Does Hazel know something?" Jillian asked herdself.

In the middle of the night, Hazel is laying on her bed thinking about the ball. What if she didn't get a partner? What if she got embarrass while she is dancing? What if her classmates bully her because she's a bad dancer. Hazel wasn't in the case of worrying because she will get hurt. It's just she don't want troubles. It can make something she don't want to happen.

When she came inside the classroom she saw many white balloons and her classmates are wearing civilian clothes. She saw Jillian wearing a pink and white floral mini skirts with pink and white plane crop top. Jillian also saw her so she come towards Hazel. "Hey, Hazel you look nice with that dress. I wish I also had one, wait, where did you bought it?" Jillian asked. "B-bought? No. No, I didn't bought it. Its from one of my c- friend, one of my friend." Hazel said. "Okay... um, actually Samuel is waiting for you..." Jillian nervously said. "Where?" Hazel asked. "Oh, your interested, um... on the garden." Jillian spoke. And then Hazel go to the garden while Jillian talk to her boyfriend. When Hazel reached the school garden, she saw Samuel sitting on a bench. She clear her trout and speak. "Hey!" Hazel approached. "Oh, Hazel, nice to see you again-" Before Samuel finish his sentence Hazel spoke. "Who are you? I mean, what do you want from me?" Hazel said. "I-I just want to be your partner. Don't you want? It's just I'm new here just like you..." Samuel said and smile innocently. Hazel rolled her eyes and whispered something to Samuel and left.
