Part 2 (1): Hop in Your Ride

Kevin woke up from his dream and found himself in the school clinic, but there was no one person in his room. Trying to remember everything that he had experienced, but his head was getting hurt so bad.

Kevin: "MOM!!...Where am I... (Kevin looked round). Ahhh, my head! What was just happening to me... Who's that child... Who's the person...why...why was he trying to catch me?"

(Someone knocked on the door.)

Nurse: "Ohh. Finally, you wake up. I thought you would stay in school until tomorrow. Are you okay, young man?"

Kevin: "What happened to me?"

Nurse: "You passed out after running too long. What did you do that made you unconscious?"

Kevin: "(Kevin just kept quiet)."

Nurse: "Oh. Haha...sorry for crossing the line. I don't mean to make you feel uncomfortable with me."

Kevin: "No, it's fine. I just feel a bit dizzy. Could you give me some water, please?"

Nurse: "Sure. Here. Anything else, young man?"

Kevin: "No thanks."

(The nurse left Kevin alone.)

Kevin looked at the clock that showed 12 o'clock. He got up from the bed, and suddenly Zack was about to open the door while he opened it. He was shocked when that tall guy stood up in front of the door.

Kevin: "Oh gosh!"

Zack: "Are you okay? You look pale."

Kevin: "Eumm, I'm okay. I'm just... a little bit tired."

Zack: "Have you had lunch? Do you want my lunch?"

Kevin: "No need. (He left Zack)."

After staying in the bedroom for a long time, finally Kevin got out, and when he tried to take all his stuff in the bag, he saw Jay at the park buying snacks.

Kevin: "What are you doing?"

Jay: "KEVIN!! I miss you, my best friend. So, tell me, how was your first experience of fainting?"

Kevin: "lol. Are you kidding? It's... I don't know."

Zack left the room and noticed Kevin and Jay chatting.

Jay: "This fruit skewer is for you. I promised to treat you, didn't I?"

Kevin: "Woahh, thank you. You're the best haha."

Jay: "Always. By the way, I put your bag on the school wall. I'm kind of wondering, what are the things that you put in your bag? It's so heavy."

Kevin: "There is no heavy thing in that. I just bring a pencil case and my lunch box."

Jay: "But...why is it so heavy?"

(The bell was ringing.)

Seniors: "Guys...listen to us. Time for you to rest has finished. You should get back to the school wall."

Jay: "You should eat fast. You have no time to think about anything right now."

Kevin: "Okay, okay."

Ten: "Hey, you. The fainting guy. I'm not done with you."

Jay: "Seriously?? You punished him a lot. You can't be like that."

Ten: "Yes, I can. Who are you? my mother? You don't even know my name."

Jay: "Yes, I do. (Jay looks at his name tag). Oh, so your name is Ten?"

Ten: "Yes, little boy. You look at my name tag."

Jay: "No wonder. Your name says you're just a perfect 10, but you aimed for 100. That's why you always fail in the subject."

Some people laughed at Jay's joke. Lay, his friend, persuaded Ten to end this, but Ten refused to give in; he gave Jay a warning to not get involved.

Lay: "Ten, I think it's enough embarrassing yourself around people."

Ten: "Listen to me, freaky boy. I give you a warning to not get involved with me, or you'll know what the risk of your action is."

Lay: "Ten, enough. It's time to do our job."

In the late afternoon, both Kevin and Jay were going home to take a rest after draining their energy a lot. Kevin saw his mother waiting for him to go back home, while Jay just took a break to buy some snacks. Zack was looking around the park just to look for that young boy, and suddenly Ana appeared behind him.

Ana: "Gotcha. What are you looking for?"

Zack: "Nothing. I just want to get some fresh air."

Ana: "Yeah. After this hard job for you, you better get some rest. Or do you want to have dinner with me, President?"

Zack: "No, I'm fine. Thank you for the offer."

Ana: "Really? I think you don't want to hang out with me again."

Zack: "It's not like that. I have something to do. I'm sorry, I've got to go. Bye."

Ana: "What a busy man."

(Zack left Ana.)

Ana smiled at Zack. She accidentally saw Ten start his motorcycle; it seems like he got ready to go somewhere.

Ana: "Hey man. What's up?"

Ten: "Oh...Ana... Nothing."

Ana: "What's wrong with you, man? Are you going to some place?"

Ten: "Yeah. You know, having fun. I don't want to get more stressed."

Ana: "How about we go to the cafe near your house? I want to ask you about something."

Ten: "Ah, come on. I don't want to go there. If you want to talk about important things, just say it now."

Ana: "I'll pay for you."

Ten: "DEAL."

Ana: "Heuh. Such a bad guy."

Zack arrived at his father's company. He walked up into a room and met his father to talk. He stopped for a while, taking a deep breath, trying to calm himself down before entering the room. He gently opened the door, walked towards him, and saw his father sitting in his chair.

Zack: "Dad."

Father: "Take a seat."

Zack: "Do you have something to tell me again? If it's about your business and your new wife, I'm done." (Zack's leaving his father.)

Father: "You don't know what happened between us. I paid a lot of money to your school. I worked a lot just for us. Why don't you listen to me?"

Zack: "I will listen to you, except about your partner. I've had enough of you and her."

Father: "You have no shame."

Zack left the room, leaving his father behind. He's mad about something that he can't receive from his father. The world seems unfair for him. His life had changed since he was left by his mom because of a car accident. His mother was always by his side, playing together all the time, and now, he just sat at the corner while looking at his mother's photo that exists only in memory now. He even imagined right now how it could be a wonderful day if his mother got along with him and was proud of what her son did for her and for himself.

(Zack held a photo of his mother.)

Zack: "I just want you to see me right now. I'm messed up, Mom. I have done everything that you want... I miss you... I miss you so much. I hope you're doing well there."
