Andrea came back to the lab as Evangeline hadn't returned for about half of the period and found Evangeline looking at her sketchbook particularly at the sketch she made the previous day. Evangeline stood bewildered and Andrea didn't know what explanation to give. Seeing her expression full of confusion, Evangeline decided to avoid it. She turned towards her and stated, "Great drawings, keep the good work going" and with a bit of hesitation asked, "Will you teach me how to draw this?" She pointed towards a beautiful painting of a peacock dancing in the rain with its feathers opened and its whole beauty on display. The expression of the bird, very bright and chirpy could be felt from within just by seeing the artwork.

Andrea assured that she would definitely like to teach her whenever she wants to learn.

Ryder met Tyler during recess. But Tyler was busy looking at some girl Ryder was unaware of. He asked his twin playfully, "Who are you looking at? Planning something?" Tyler replied in a mere whisper, "no." There stood Evangeline, Celia along with Andrea. Ryder stared at Evangeline for a minute, contemplated on some confusion flowing through his mind for about a minute. And then finally on deciding something with a wide grin plastered on his face, he took Tyler to meet her.

Tyler anyways stood confused facing Evangeline and Andrea. Andrea's face had a gentle smile which made him feel better. Ryder introduced Tyler to the three of them and the girls introduced themselves as well.

End of school

Later that evening

Both the twin brothers were lost in their own worlds. While Ryder was busy with his overbearing thoughts about the events of the day, Tyler was searching in his drawer for something that meant a lot to him, but couldn't find it. Then he saw a small box place on the inside which he truly cherished with everything he had in him for all these years. He held it in his hands and with a light smile said, "Maybe you are the one."

You can fight day and night with your siblings, yet you'll stand by their side at the end of the day.

The next day at school

School was boring like Evan for usual. Even though he was a nerd at times yet today he felt something unpleasant about the day . With each passing lecture, his anxiety was increasing and he couldn't shake off the feeling. But he was happy now as it was time for P.E. It would be a great distraction from his growing headache.

Therefore the children from his class happily started running towards the playground. When Evan was going to the ground he was stopped by his class teacher Miss Christine who told him to wait. She later confronted him about the robbery of Ryan's watch. Evan immediately declined as he wasn't the one to be blamed. He strongly asserted, " I would never be a part of such wrong doings". His teacher warned him and said that he is supposed to meet the principal tomorrow about this incident because of his rivalry with Ryan from so many years. Evan was covered in a big problem from all sides and needed to find an escape route as soon as possible.

Break time for all the students:

Evan's P.O.V.:

Now, I am in a big problem and only one person that can help me come out of it is biggie. But today morning itself I'd had fight with her and she was deeply hurt. Still I need to tell her about it.

Oh yes, this class I think. With whom is sis talking? Anyways, no other option than disturbing them.

End of Evan's P.O.V.

Evan: Hi sis... Sorry for the morning fight. I am really sorry.

Evangeline: Yeah, it's Okay. We fight everyday anyway. Talk to the point. From your face, I can easily see that you have landed yourself into a problem.

Andrea, Celia, Tyler and Ryder were standing around them at this point of time.

Evan: I have been wrongly accused of robbing Ryan's watch. And tomorrow I am going to meet principal regarding it. As per the school rules, I can even be suspended for a week because of this or detained from school as well.

Tyler: So you might need help to prove that you haven't done any robbery and need to catch the one who is the actual robber, right?

Andrea: We all will help, right friends?

Celia: Yeah of course.

Ryder: Count me in as well.

Evangeline: Thank you for lending your help to prove my brother right.

Ryder: No need to thank us, we are friends, right?

Tyler: Yeah.

Evangeline: I think first we should meet Ryan and ask him about the watch. Also, we should ask teachers whom they suspect.

Evan: At least we need to find out how the watch looks.

Ryder: I think we should split and work differently.

Andrea: That's better.

Evangeline: So, Andrea you should go and ask Ryan and his friends to describe the watch. Tyler help her out. I and Ryder can go and ask teachers whom they suspect. And Evan and Celia should check out who complained that Evan was the one who stole the watch. Is the plan okay with you?

Celia: (hesistantly) Yeah.

Tyler: (excitedly) No problem.

Andrea: (with a solemn expression) Okay.

Ryder: (with a wide grin) Yes.

Evan: (sad smile ) Of course.

Ryder: Ready for our mission friends?

Other 5: Ready!
