The door to the classroom slammed opened as Chong Xi Kang dashed in, naked as usual.

"Yes, I broke my record!"

Chong Xi Kang shouted as he looked at the stopwatch in his hand.

Lim Zhen Cong walked towards Chong Xi Kang and gave him a good strike on the head. "What record? Do you mean the record for coming late to class?"

Chong Xi Kang ignored him and walked to his seat, his head laid down on the table as his eye lids started to close in on each other.

'No, this isn't the time to sleep!'

The sound of a chair being pushed back echoed throughout the classroom as Chong Xi Kang got up from his seat and started jogging on the spot.

"1, 2, 3, 4."

"5, 6, 7, 8."

Every step that Chong Xi Kang took he counted them out loudly as his sweat drizzled down from his forehead onto the floor.

"GOD DAMN IT, STOP RUNNING AROUND!"

"YOUR FOOTSTEPS ARE ANNOYING ME!"

Chong Xi Kang stopped at Lim Zhen Cong's shouting; he slowly turned towards him and said casually. "Sir, I'm jogging."

PAK

The back scratcher struck Chong Xi Kang's legs as Lim Zhen Cong decided to get rid of this nuisance once and for all.

"If you wanted to jog, jog home. How come you can jog until you reached After School Tuition Centre?"

Chong Xi Kang merely sneered at Lim Zhen Cong as he turned around towards the door.

"Hey, where are you going I'm not done yet!" furiously, Lim Zhen Cong scolded Chong Xi Kang.

His hand moved towards his student's shoulder to try and pull him back into the classroom, but his wrist had been slapped away by a Chong Xi Kang's muscular arm.

"Didn't you want me to leave?"

Lim Zhen Cong's face froze on the spot as his blood started to boil like a pot of spicy curry until it pushed open its lid and burst outward with the might a thousand suns.

PAK

"Are you even serious about studying?" Lim Zhen Cong asked angrily after he gave Chong Xi Kang a slap to the face.

That burning sensation on Chong Xi Kang's cheek is more than a wake up slap from Lim Zhen Cong to him, if it is the back scratcher then it is fine because Lim Zhen Cong is also humiliating himself by using it, but a palm is another can of worms.

As if the dam that is trying to hold back Chong Xi Kang's anger had just burst open, Chong Xi Kang's fist shot out like a rocket and landed on Lim Zhen Cong's face, creating a blossom of blood in the air.

His hands then reached towards the door knob, with a twist the door opened and Chong Xi Kang gave Lim Zhen Cong one last look before leaving.

'I don't need to do anything and theses idiots are tearing themselves apart.' Goh Jie En sneered at them as she watched the story unfolded from afar.

Lee Kai Wen and the rest stared at Lim Zhen Cong who is on the ground wiping the blood off his face and the door that is wide open, they could not comprehend what had happened just now as it all happened like a shooting star, one blink and you will miss it.

Yet they still have one thought running through their minds.

'What will happen next?'

End of week 69.
