They hurried pack their things and went to their room. While they were on the way reaching their room, Marc stopped and rubbed his nape.

He felt like someone tapped his nape and felt a cold bite. He looked around and found that they were the only students walking. He cleared his mind and continues walking.

He sat on the chair beside the window; Chinchin and Benj are next to him while Eric sat in front of him. He looked outside the window and found a group of children playing.

He got smiled while watching them. He hasn't given a chance to go outside while he was a child because of his illness.

After a minute or two, he felt someone tapped his shoulder.

"Hmm." He moan

He felt again that someone is tapping his shoulder but this time with force

"Ouch! What's your problem?" He cried while rubbing his shoulder

"Don't sleep in my class Mr?" Mr Bautista said

"De La Veda, sir. He's a new student here." Chinchin said

"Remind him Ms Mouline what I can do if I caught him sleeping during my class." Mr Bautista strictly said

"Oh! Sorry sir." Marc apologized and secretly rubbed his eyes and palmed his mouth to yawn

"So that's all. See next meeting and please don't sleep during my class. I get distracted and easily lose my appetite." Mr Bautista said while packing his things and leave and Marc stared at him with a blank expression

"Don't mind him." Benj said

*Brrrrrttt*
*Brrrrrttt*
*Brrrrrttt*

"Someone's phone was vibrating." Chinchin said and Marc looks at his phone and found an unknown number calling

"Who's that?" Benj said

"I don't know." Marc said and ended the call

"Why did you turn off your phone?" Chinchin said

"It's an unknown person and I don't want to talk to that person." Marc said as he placed his phone inside his pocket

"What if it's important? What if someone's in need?" Benj said

"Benj has a point. Why don't you try to talk to that person, just this day only?" Eric said and for the second time the phone vibrates

"Why don't you hesitate to answer it?" Chinchin said

"I don't. They were just those nothing to do with their life." Marc said

"What if they're not? What if they have something important to tell? Can you answer it this time?" Chinchin said

"Okay....." Marc said and answered the call

"Hello!" He said through the phone

"Thanks God you finally answer it." The person on the other end said

"What do you want?"

"Is this Marc Iverson de La Veda?"

"Yes I am. Why?"

"Is Jelo your classmate?"

"Yes he is. Why? Where is he? What did you do to him?" He asks

"Calm down, Marc. Calm down." Chinchin interrupted

"How could I? He's asking about Jelo." He said as he covered the mouthpiece of his phone
