                   Hugo's P.O.V.

"Good work today everyone. We will continue this discussion in our next class. Make sure you review the powerpoint that I sent you guys for your upcoming exam." My professor announced. Everyone, including myself, started to pack our things in our book bags and we got up from our seats after.

"Hugo, can you stay for a bit?" My professor asked.

I turned my way towards him to see what he wants. "Sure thing." I replied. As soon as everyone left, my professor walked towards his desk and picked up a white envelope that was sitting on his desk.

"This is for you!" He handed it to me.

I grabbed it from his hand and looked at it. It had my name on it, but it didn't have no address or label on it. Strange. "What is this?" I asked. "You'll find out once you open it." He smiled. It made me feel skeptical about it. I opened my bookbag to place in there.

"Whenever you open it, come talk to me about it." He added.

"Okay." I responded.

After getting out of my car, I closed it and locked it. I made it back home from a long day at medical school and the last thing that I wanted to do was take a nap. Sadly, I won't be able to do that because I have to study for my exam.

When I made it inside, I locked my house door and took off my shoes. Then, I went inside my room to place my bag down and hang up my coat on my rack. After that, I took a seat at my desk and opened my book bag to grab the envelope that my professor gave to me.

It seemed kinda of suspicious because of how the envelope looked. As I opened it slowly, I lift up the tab and grabbed the paper that was inside. After that, I opened the paper, since it was folded, and read what it said.

"No way." I said while being in shock.

Peng's P.O.V.

People were clicking their beers in the air. A crowd was cheering because of a basketball game that was playing on the tv. This is how a lot of people spend their typical Friday nights, at a bar with the boys. However, I wasn't able to do that.

Tai wanted me to come with him to "hang out" but really, he was just drinking his emotions away and put me on babysitting duty. I looked at him as he kept on drinking and slammed his glass on the table after.

"Yo, what's your problem?" I asked.

He grabbed his bottle and poured some more in his glass. Something must've happened to him today because he never does this.

"Why do I feel like this?" He questioned himself.

I took a small sip of my drink and placed it back on our table. "Feel like what?" I asked. He raised his cup up and began to drink it again. I removed the cup away from him and placed it away from him.

"Chill, you had enough." I said.

He snatched the bottle from the table and frowned. Then, he tried to drink from it, but luckily, I managed to snatch it away from him. "Give it back!" He scolded. I let his drink stay beside me and I folded my arms.

"No! You need to start telling me your dilemma grouchy." I demanded.

He placed one of his hands on the side of my cheek and groaned. "I have gotten into an argument with Brea today and I was being aggressive with her. It was my fault because I was pissed. Not at her, but with Nolan. He had no business bring close with her!" He blabbered and shouted his last sentence after while slamming his hand on the table.
