Dave walking in a hallway towards his locker. He unlocks it to stuff his things inside when he realize that a certain book was placed upside down. He frowns as he recalls if he forgot to arrange it but it's impossible. He clearly remember how he arranged his things on his locker. 'who the fuck touch my things?' There is one thing he hates the most.

 Meddlesome

And if this thing and other irritating drama happened on the same day chaos might break down.

He gets the book and reads the title.

'The Frog and The Tadpole'

'From now on we will be brothers!'

He scans the book as the ghost of the past hunt him. Those times when he was just a child knows nothing but to fool around and think of nothing. An innocent childhood, indeed. Until that day happened.

'Run!' he shut his eyes firmly. A mix of emotions and thoughts are swirling in his system slowly choking him.

"if only," he whispered.

A rustling sound pulls him back to reality. He automatically became alert and slowly approach the sound.

'it's here' he thought as he slowly opens the door of an under repair CR near the lockers and...

"Fuck!" he exclaimed. When a cat jumps over his chest. He sighs and look at the cat. It was a Persian cat with a vintage key dangling from its neck.

He look at it as he scrutinizes the cat and then leans down and touch the cat's head.

"meow" the cat moan in satisfaction.

"Go back to your owner." he said and look at the cat when someone's voice caught his attention.

"oh?!" Maria's voice slowly approaches him.

"Hello!" he turn around and walks past her but the stubborn woman just won't take things simple.

"where are you going?" she asks and grabs his arm. Dave's brows twitch in annoyance. Remember the thing he hates? 

'meddlesome'

He rolls his eyes and a string of curses escape his mouth. He looks at the tiny woman and to his arm. Lucky enough that she's a girl.

"oh, sorry" she said as he forcefully pulls his arm off the woman's grip and walks away.

Maria frown as he watch Dave's retreating back.

"he has someone like that too." she stated as she laid her gaze at the floor and saw a badge. "He drops his badge." She picks it and read.

"Brilliant University?"

'That woman sure is meddlesome.' Dave shook his head out of annoyance as he walks towards the rooftop. When he opened the door he saw Tyhr and Ryzm sitting while lazily throwing the baseball and catch it again while Phin is reading a book at the corner of the rooftop.

"where's Ryu?" he asks. They just look at him and shrug their shoulders. 

"Work." Phin said

"That's what he said" Tyhr added. Something is fishy. They used to be so cheerful to the point that he wants to beat the crap out of them but now they are not. How he wish for this time when his friend finally acts like men and not like a bunch of high school girls, well Phin is an exemption because Phin is their Mom.
