*Slurp~*

"Even though it's not warm anymore, but Mrs. Li noodle still tasty as always~", Andy.

Andy savors it, albeit with sloppy chopstick skill.

*Slurp~*

While enjoying it, a cough was heard.

"Ehem.."

A cough that seems fake. But Andy just shrugs it off, thinking someone just sick.

*Slurp~*

"EHEM!"

"...?", Andy.

'Is he calling me?'

*Slurp~*

He was looking for the origin of the cough.

And he found it.

A couple. Next bench from him.

The one who coughs is a guy. Beside him also a girl.

'That guy must be an upperclassman, but the girl... seems the same grade as me'

*Slurp~*

"You, the one who eats. Can't you be quieter with your eating? No... Just go to other places. I don't want to see your ass here"

Looking at his almost empty bowl, Andy in dilemma.

"Okay, this is the last one", Andy.

*Slurp~~~*

"Done"

He gets up, goes to a nearby trash can, and throws away his plastic bowl.

After that, he walks away...

Looking for the last time at that place.

The benches.

Where almost the place was filled with couples.

'Fiuh.. I thought he would beat me up'

Then he walks fast to his class.

*****

Bell ringing.

*Ding-Ding-Dung!*

Andy who already in class take out his book.

'This period is...'

He checks the schedules and found it was Social Studies.

Social Studies were taught by Mrs. Heinz. A cheerful old lady.

One of the teachers Andy's like.

Taking out his modules in the backpack...

'Social Studies... Social..'

"Here it is"

'Now, let's wait...'

Wait for the teacher to come.

*****

In the class.

The door was opened by Mrs. Heinz.

She came to class carrying a green backpack.

After greeting Mrs. Heinz, the students sit back.

She opened her laptop. Plug a cable, and call one of the students.

"Juan, can you help me to set up the projector please"

"Yes, Ma'am", Juan.

Juan, the class president. A tall and athletic guy with red-spiky hair. 

He has tanned skin, along with a kind face.

'What an annoying face', Andy.

Juan came to the front class, helping Mrs. Heinz with the projector.

After a few interests...

They can see on the display a PowerPoint.

"So... To start. Everybody must know cave right?"

""Yes...""

"Then, what is a cave? Can anyone help me describe it?"

.

.

.

*Ding-Ding-Dung!*

"Ohh.. It's time to go home"

Before going home, the class president will lead to salute the teacher.

""Goodbye Ma'am""

"Goodbye too"

After the salute, the class was dismissed.

"Let's go to the internet cafe guys"

"Hohoho.. This day I will reach gold tier!"

"Pfftt.. with your skill?"

"Lol"

Four boys were discussing in Andy's class.

"But... sorry guys, I have a Math course. Maybe next time"

"Ehh... That's suck"

"It is..."

Poya can't help it. His parent forces him to do some additional course.

'I really envy them...', Poya.

Meanwhile..

Andy tidying up his book. Put it in his backpack and ready to leave the class.

Before he goes out, someone calls him.

"Wait! Andy. Do you want to join us? We would go to an internet cafe"

"Yeah!! It's time to show my skill!"

Andy just looks at them with hollow eyes.

"... Sorry, I would pass", Andy.

Then he goes, as fast as he can. Leaving the class and school.

"What happened to him?"

"Don't know, maybe It's his poop-time. Lol"

""Hahaha..""

*****

The bus stop.

Andy is sitting, waiting for his bus to come.

He waits, almost half an hour.

At that time, many buses already stop. Unfortunately, that was not his route.

Even if it's his bus that came, they already full.

Many of his schoolmates already returned to their home. Some of them took the bus, some picked up, and some of them just walk.

Seeing that making him frustrated.

'Aaah!... Why it take so long?'

Waiting here makes him feel time-wasting. A thing that he hates.

After some considered time...

His bus came.

'There they are...'

He gets on the bus in hurry, afraid it would get filled.

In the bus.

Andy choose a seat and opened his phone. Reading some news from Social media.

He likes reading the news recently. They have more and more interesting news.

'Really... many weird cases pop-up these days'

Just as he was about to scroll again...

His vision blurred..

'Not again'

.

.

He sees himself in front of a computer. Looking at many-colored numbers.

His left hand move, using a mouse to control the cursor.

*Click.. click.. click-click..*

The screen change. The screen now has a graph and chart, with mostly green color.

Then...

His body became shaking. Holding the mouse tightly..

Then, the vision blurred again..

.

.

He came back, inside the bus.

"That's it?"
