            have entertained angels unawares"

"Ten, wake up!" she said while entering his bedroom and opening the windows, letting the light come in. Ten put the pillow over his head, "Tian Shi..! I don't want to!" he nagged. Tian Shi rolled her eyes and took the pillow, "Come on! It's your graduation today! You have to dress up!" Hearing that Ten looked at her. "Oh right!" he exclaimed and stood up revealing his half-naked body and stretching. "Do you want to dress me up maybe?" he mocked winking at her. "I've told you, don't flirt with me," she said and threw him the pillow. "Sorry...it's just that..." Ten put his hand behind his head, "I had a weird dream with you.." Tian Shi frowned but then she smiled, "I am sure it was nothing." get dressed. I am checking the others. 

She moved to the next room and opened it, "Yangyang, are y-" she stopped talking once she saw empty bags of chips and chocolate papers laying around on the floor. Yangyang, chewing a donut, that God knew where he had found it, looked at her with guilty eyes. "What is this? What have I told you about not eating much?" The boy swallowed and placed the donut on the plate beside him. "I... was hungry...?" he murmured. Tian Shi who had started picking up the bags, sighed, "You were not hungry and you know it. You ate two plates of food last night." The younger boy bit his lip, "You're right, it was just my dream..." Tian Shi threw in the small bin the trash and looked at him. "What dream?" Yangyang's cheeks turned red but then he replied, "It doesn't matter. I am going to get ready!" Tian Shi didn't say anything else and closed the door.

Hendery's bedroom door was opened already so she stepped inside. The blond boy was dressed up, putting on all his expensive and branded clothes, not feeling satisfied. "You look good." Tian Shi commented making him turn at her. "Nah, it's the previous collection! I need new clothes!" he exclaimed desperately. Tian Shi put her hand on his shoulder, "Hendery, don't get greedy. You look amazing!" Hendery's expression quickly changed, becoming more reserved. "Um... Did... you sleep well?" the boy asked. "Yeah, I suppose. Why?" Hendery waved his thoughts away, "It's...just a stupid dream... alright, I'll stop asking for more." he said, and after smiling at him, Tian Shi walked out. 

Right opposite was Winwin's bedroom. Tian Shi after knocking, walked in. He was still on his bed playing games on his phone as usual. "Winwin, it's time to get up. It's Ten's graduation today." she crossed her hands. "I know... I am just...bored. Can I not come?" he asked even though he knew the answer. "Winwin, you know you have to and besides we're going to have a good time. Don't be lazy with your life." These words made him stood up and sighed. "I kinda found out from my dream..." he murmured mostly to himself. "Anyway, I'll be ready in a while," he added leading her outside. 

Tian Shi shrugged and get into Lucas' room. The tallest boy among them was throwing things around being extremely irritated.

"Lucas, what's going on?"

"I can't find my freaking wallet! I swear if anyone wants to prank me..!"

"What's that?" Tian Shi asked rhetorically after having found the small brown leather wallet under a shirt. "Oh...thanks..." he took it slowly feeling bad that he had just yelled. "It's alright, but don't get so warmed up all the time. Anger is good for nothing you know." Tian Shi had crossed her arms strictly. Lucas' eyes were traveling around the room. "Sorry... I think my dream overwhelmed me..anyway, I'll see you in a while!" she realized that he didn't want to share more so she let him relax and get ready.

 Thinking about everyone's strange behavior she was ready to knock on Xiaojun's door but he was right behind it, opening it immediately, as he was waiting for her. Xiaojun had crossed his hands, staring at her with frowned lips, with a child's attitude on. "So, you remembered me!" he commented. "Xiaojun... why are you jealous?" Tian Shi's expression was austerely making him uncrossed his hands and looked down as a lost puppy. "I... I just wanted you to check up on me first..." She relaxed her posture and ruffled his hair. The thing that always liked. "It doesn't matter whose room I enter first, I love you all the same." Xiaojun let a small smile at this, "I know...I had a weird dream, I think that's the problem..." Tian Shi was about to ask him more but he added quickly, "I- I am going to get ready!" and closed the door.

She turned around half giggling and opened the door of the last bedroom. Kun was writing something on his computer. He had dark circles under his eyes and he seemed tired. "Kun... haven't you slept?" she asked and approached him. He startled, as he hadn't noticed she had entered, turned his attention at her. "Not much... I needed to finish this paper. They have put a lot of work into me. I have to prove myself!" he exclaimed in one breath. Tian Shi smiled placing her hands on his shoulders. "I know, but you have to res too." after rubbing his shoulders a little she let go, adding "Besides, it's Ten's graduation from University. You have to get ready." Kun widened his eyes, "Today? Impossible! I can't make it! I ha-"

"Kun!" she yelled and cut his sentence, "You are coming! Think about his feelings, and everyone's! You're always putting work first, and how you'll get better at this. Not today! Dress up!" she added at the same tone and tried to walk out of the room, somewhat hurt that he even crossed his mind to bail on them today, when he grabbed her wrist. She looked at him. "Sorry, I had a confusing dream. It seemed real," he said letting her hand. Tian Shi nodded, "I understand... Just get ready."

"Tian Shi." Kun again spoke while she was inches away from the door. She didn't turn around to face him this time, she just let him speak. "Thank you. For taking care of us." Tian Shi smiled, "Always." was the last thing she said, and walked out of his room. With fast steps, she moved to the attic where it was her own room. It didn't take long for her to get ready too. She wore a white dress with purple flowers and let her hair in waves. 

"Tian SHI! Come on!!" she recognized Ten's voice calling her from downstairs. "Yeah! We're ready! Where are you?!" that was Lucas. Tian Shi laughed, "Coming in a minute!" she replied. These boys were her whole life. Then as she had just remembered something, she pulled a small box that was hidden under her bed and opened it. She stared a little at the seven necklaces that were inside. They seemed so beautiful pieces of jewelry yet, too much hatred was hidden in them. Tian Shi took them into her hands. She watched as their metals melted under her touch and finally turned into dust. Finally, relieved she opened the small window and let the dust fly away.

 Everything was over.

 Everyone was free.
