Isaac gasped. He's suddenly back to reality. He moved his eyes around frantically, realizing he's in the student council room then he let out a sigh.
"President? Are you alright?" George asked.
"H-huh?" Isaac mumbled, still looking startled.
"You're spacing out. Are you sure you're alright?" George replied.
"Sorry..... Yes, I'm alright. Don't let it bother you." Isaac replied, finally gaining his composure.
While Beatrice O'Brian is staring at Isaac, looking worried. "W-where are we again?" Isaac asked.
"Ah.... In our school?" Ronald blurted.
"That's not what I meant. I mean, what are we discussing about?" Isaac replied with his right hand on his face to show irritation.
"S-sorry..." Ronald said in embarrassment.
"It's alright. What are we discussing about?" Isaac said in a friendly manner.
"About the upcoming school festival." Ronald replied, looking alive again.
"Oh, thank you. About that, don't forget to pass your reports tomorrow. I still need to re-check them before submitting it to the principal's office." Isaac said as his eyes connect from one person's to another.
"Okay!" Everyone confirmed.
"Good, that's all. Dismiss." Isaac said.
Suddenly the sliding door smashed open. Garet Sorbo is standing at the entrance of the door panting.
"Isaac! Come quickly!" Garet shouted in top of his voice.
"Hey! Have some respect will you?!" George said.
"It's alright. He's a friend." Isaac informed.
"I'm sorry. Don't know that." George replied with embarrassment, unable to look them in their eyes.
"Oh, don't worry about it." Garet said with a broad smile on his face, his right hand at the back of his head.
"Garet, what happened?" Beatrice asked as she stepped forward, looking at Garet.
"Oh, I almost forgot! A fight! There's a fight!" Garet said in panic.
"Okay, calm down. Where is it? Have you called a teacher?" Isaac asked.
"The school grounds. No, not yet. We have to hurry before things get too serious!" Garet replied frantically.
"Okay, you guys can go home, we'll handle this." Isaac announced to the rest of the student council members.
"Okaaaay~" Everyone said in chorus as they go out of the room.
"Let's go." "Okay." Isaac said as he and Garet ran out of the room.
"Wait, I'll go too!" Beatrice called out as she ran behind them.
Isaac turned around, connecting his eyes with hers then smiled.
"Alright. But call the guidance teacher first." Isaac nodded to confirm.
Beatrice paused for a moment. She felt her heart skipped a beat.
"What are you standing there for? Let's hurry!" Garet told Beatrice.
Beatrice snapped "Sorry...." startled by Garet, she smiled awkwardly as she continue running.
The three of them rushed toward the school grounds.
"Excuse me, let us through." Isaac addressed the crowd.
