"So an excuse or...like he has a tummy ache?" Tiw stated serious.
"No dummy!" Tay stated as he hit the back of his head.
"What was there for?" He responded holding his head.
" 'Pa I have a tummy ache I can't go home.' 'son home has better care and a hospital for that matter. Hurry up let's leave.' " Tay tried to mimic.
"Don't make it such a fuss."
"Okay guys what of..."
"If you have nothing just shut up."
"The way you always shut it during exam and expect me to help you out?" Joseph responded in a bitter tone.
"Guys thats it!" Tay stated changing the topic.
"What? Arguing?" Daniel repremanded as obvious his life was involved.
"Exam idiot." Tiw covered him.
"So we have to talk to madam or some teacher."
"Madam class teacher. We need a story. Sheen, do the story part. Endure it's believable." Tiw commanded.
"You feel so good at the ordering patch?" Tay stated smiling. Tiw hugged him.
"Is this how you guys make up?" Daniel asked as the others joined in the big hug leaving him there.
"Come on. We are family." Joseph stated as the boy joined in. Maybe all that was needed by him was a little warmth.
"Come work for me guys."
"Naah!" Tiw stated in response a they all let go.
"Hey." Adrian greeted as he sat on the cafeteria seat.
"Hi. So I'm here to discuss business." Then Dylan walked in and sat at the table before them.
"Oh I see where this is going." Adrian whispered. Nice smiled abit before revealing some sheets of paper.
"So you really aren't a scholarship kid."
"Yeah so for today let's keep it short some camera might capture wrong stuff." He said aloud sure Dylan heard them.
"Okay so you work for..."
"Madrigal." He responded as Adrian scanned through the pages.
"This was the newest company we were to work on."
"Yeah. So apperantly Daniels dad owns the property. You have a bigger share so he wanted you guys to buy it but the initial letters have it written to the Madrigal family. Some project was to be open hence if you do the investment and Madrigal family react your showbiz will loose it all. To this nation fraud isn't a deal."
"Main issue is that Dante wants you two guys to fight. If you fight for property hell suck you up. You can check on the chance of your survival on the pie graph. If it's okay carry on with the deal."
"Okay. You care for me that's why you saved us?"
"No. I don't like fights." He responded as he stood. The school bell rung.
"Come join my team. Double pay and freedom." He stated as they shook hands.
"He isn't coming to you."
"You want to be his watch dog?"
"I care for my servants." He stated and pulled his hand from Adrian and they walked out.
"What was that?" Nice asked once they were at some edge.
"I was just protecting what belongs to me."
"I belong to you? Are you nuts?" Nice asked angry.
"I'm a servant of yours but I don't belong to you." He stayed and left him. Dylan rubbed his head. Damn he mistakes it all again.
"How was the date?" Ivy asked once he met him.
"What date?"
"You and Adrian. Everyone in school is up about it. They say Dylan piped in and picked you before you two..."
"Two..." He stated still eyeing her. She pointed her forefingers to each other.
"Kissed!" She said abruptly once she noted her listener wasn't on the same page.
"We have no such relationship." He responded brushing her off."
"Damn now I wonder which ship will sail."
"Ship..?!"
"Yes. First is you and Dylan then Daniel and finally Adrian." She stated and placed her bag on the floor at the rooftop.
He gave no response. To shelf he was worth nothing. He looked at the vast environment and took several deep breaths. This was his now life. Then he turned to her.
"Who are you texting?" He asked as he looked at her. Then vast colours appeared. Damn the first time he saw this was when his parents vanished.
"Ivy look at me." He stated as he walked to her carefully.
"Why?" She was still joyful. To her nothing was in sight. Then the worry in Nice's eyes came to her. Her heart beat pounded. Damn!
Then a wind feeling came to her. She could feel it. She dropped her phone. The building begun to crack.
"Nice I'm dying." She stated as the ground she was on begun breaking. Nice couldn't see it but he could feel the spirit was using it's energy on something.
"It's not real." He stated trying to reassure her.
"How is it not real? I can literally see it."
"Then don't close your eyes and believe you are safe." He responded as she closed her eyes.
"Take deep breaths. Everything is going to be okay. You hear no screams. The school isn't seperating it's your own imagination." Seconds later after she was calm she opened her eyes. She was feverish with a weary feeling. Dizziness kicked in.
"Damn!" She stated and fell on the ground.
"Ivy!!" He rushed to her. Her pulse was intact though sparingly present. He carried her within his arms. Her grey spirit left the body and turned to him.
"Follow her damn it! she'll die." He said as he ran across the floors.
He held the bag. Something felt amiss. He couldn't see spirits it wasn't his thing. He could only see the old guy cause he allowed him to.
He looked at the horizon. The orange and blue merged perfectly. He took out his drawing tools from the bag he had and begun. The feeling in him at the moment was inconsistent. The beauty of the view made him calmer. More thoughtfull. He sketched the first few lines. Then a voice came behind him. He paused.
"Damn I thought it was him again." Tiw stated.
"Maybe today you didn't guess wrong. He was here before me." He responded and continued painting.
