The sun had raised and blistering its rays through the windows at Hanna's room. An alarm clock at the bed side was ringing loudly to wake the occupants of the house.
"Hey Lena, wake up. We are going to be la-"
"Five more minutes Han. I'm super sleepy right now,"
"Fine,"
Hanna went to kitchen to prepare breakfast for the whole family like usual. Then, the door bell rang just when Hanna wanted to make toasts.
"Coming!" Hanna replied.
Hanna opened the door and was shocked when Bill was at the door.
"Oh Bill. Why are you here at 6 in the morning? Isn't it to early to come here?"
"I was just here to give the breakfast that my parents made. They said that this is our thanks for accepting us as neighbour. The pancakes are really good by the way," he pointed to the food container on his hand.
"Oh-oh Th-thank y-you so much! Tell your parents that we all appreciate their thanks. Really, thank you,"
"Okay okay, I know. Don't be so flustered. Bye," a smile crafted on his face.
"Bye...Bill," Hanna waved and he replied back.
Hanna's eyes were still staring at Bill when he went home. She closed the door and prepared the breakfast with the Jones's welcoming gift.
Hanna told us what happened earlier while we were having breakfast. We are happy to see Hanna getting closer to Bill without the parents intervention. After that, Hanna and Selena went to the room and were getting ready to go to school. Selena felt something weird about the way Hanna told about the incident earlier and asked Hanna about what happened in detail.
However, Hanna just avoided the question and went straight to school without Selena. The situation made Selena felt irritated even more for her awful attitude. Hanna and Selena did not talked with each other for the whole time even during recess.
After class, their classmate Mina approached Selena to get a hold of the current situation.
"Hey Selena. What's wrong with you and Hanna? You girls are not like your usual self. There's like some distance between you two. Had a fight?" Mina asked.
"We don't Mina. She has been like this after the breakfast. We don't have any kind of quarrel yesterday, if I remember correctly,"
"Maybe she got a boyfriend?! You know how countless times she received a love letter? Some even become bold and just blindly confess to her every time they seen her this entire week,"
"What the hell?? Seriously, they've gotten too desperate right now,"
"Right? I just doesn't get their stupid ideas. Did those scums really think their harsh methods work?!" Mina tone got a bit hard all of sudden.
"Harsh?? What do you mean by that exactly?," Selena asked in doubt of the statement given by Mina.
"Well, actually... . Wha-t I mean with that is they drag-"
"Drag what?!" Selena's voice raised.
"They drag-g-ed Hann-na to the back of the school by.. f-force..." Mina answered with stuttering voice, probably afraid that Selena might hit her.
"Why you didn't tell me anything about this?" Selena tries to cool herself.
"Hanna said that she doesn't want you to worry about her,"
"Of course I'm gonna be worried about my best friend! I won't be her friend if I just going to let those boys hurt her," Selena shouted louder this time, trying to defend their friendship.
"I'm gonna see her now," Selena said and dashed to the cafeteria to find Hanna.
