"leo? Can we stop at the super market?"Sky asked him."

"Why?"-Leo replied.

"I forgot that your refrigerator is already out of ingredients and snacks." Sky said.

"Sky?... let's go now." Leo said to him.

Sky ignored him and continued staring at the car. He Familiarize hiself with the license plate number.

"Ow... hi Leo, it's a coincidence that we met here."-Kian said to him.

"yeah right"-Leo replied giggled.

"By the way, who is this cutie guy?" -Clifford asked Leo.

"He's my-

"It's Leo's boyfriend." Kian cut Leo's word and he said it to Clifford.

"Yeah."-Leo said as fake his smile.

"Ow.. hi, nice to meet you.. I'm Leo's high-school friend."-Clifford said to sky while giving his hands for shake hands.

"Uhm... hi, I'm Sky.. leo's boyfriend." sky replied, and he responded by shaking hands.

SKY NOTICED THE ROSE TATTOO ON CLIFFORD'S HANDS. IT'S THE SAME AS TO THE GUY WHO GRABBED HIM AND TRIED TO FORCE HIM BEFORE, HE GOT CONFUSED AND HE IMMEDIATELY TOOK HIS HAND FROM CLIFFORD.

"Uhmm..we get going now. We're so busy today because tomorrow is our graduation day."-Leo said to them.

"Congratulations in advance to both of you."-Kian replied to him.

"Why does Kian's friend have a rose tattoo too, just like the guy who grabbed and hurt me before?" Sky said to his mind. Then he looked at Kian's hand and it was the same too. "Why does it-

"Hey... sky?.. let's go now"-Leo said to him.

He put his hands in his pocket and said, "Sky?" -Kian said.

"Ow.. yes..we're going now."-sky replied.

"See you after graduation!"Kian said to them.

Leo got confused about Sky

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" -Leo asked him.

"Nothing.. can I hold your hand?.. I'm scared now."-sky replied to him.

"What makes you scare? Don't worry, I'm here."Leo replied to him.

KIAN TURNED AROUND AND TOOK A PICTURE OF THE TWO THAT WERE DOING HOLDING HANDS, WHILE CLIFFORD WAS CHOOSING SOME INGREDIENTS.

"This is enough, right?" Clifford asked him. Kian got startled and he quickly hid his phone.

"Yeah, yeah"-Kian replied to him awkwardly.

"What's wrong with you?"Clifford asked him.

"Nothing.. let's choose some more for tomorrow's night"-Kian replied to him.

"By the way, Leo's boyfriend is very cute." Clifford said to him.

"Then get him.. seduce him."-kian replied to Clifford.

"Can I?"-Clifford replied as he giggled.

"Do whatever you want!"-Kian said to him.

Then, Kian and Clifford went to another station to buy some more for tomorrow's party. Leo and Sky were choosing and picking some ingredient that they needed.

"let's go now.. let's pay this"—Leo said to Sky. They went to the cashier station and said, "Oh, I forgot!, line up here... just wait for me here." --Sky said to him.

"Why?" Leo asked.

"I'm going to get some milk."-sky replied to him.

"Aw... okay, just get me some packs of candies too."-Leo said to him. Sky smirked and rolled his eyes at him.

Clifford noticed Sky while he was taking some milk there, "Ow... hi, it's coincidence again."-Clifford said to the sky.

"Ow... yeah, anyway, where is your friend?" Sky asked him.

"Well.. he went to that station. -Clifford replied to him.
