Walking inside the teacher's lounge, Ryan immediately takes his paper that the teacher requested for him to collect. He saw two teachers talking and bow to them.
"I swear kids these days have no respect."
Ryan shows a dark expression and was about to throw the papers he had in his hands.
"Yesterday, Class A student talks in my class."
He decided to hit himself instead when he heard the truth behind the teacher's words.
"Oh, any tea?"
"What tea? I just heard 365 days as if one year is not a word."
Ryan listened to the teacher and thinks for a while. He then remembers Sylvia and Leon were in detention because of talking in class. "365..Days?" Without another word, he left the room in silence. A group of students can be seen talking with Mark and Mark feels a bit happy when he saw Ryan. "Ryan. Could you help me buy food-? These people can't leave me alone and don't allow me to leave." Ryan thought he saw puppy eyes form on Mark's face but he decides to ignore it and help the poor boy.
"Sure."
He immediately walked out after Mark gave him the money. A tap startled him a bit but he takes a deep breath and looked behind. "Hey! Ryan, right? I'm Sylvia." A smile form as he gave her a small nod. He bought the food and Sylvia walk with him. "Hey, are you and Leon a good friend by any chance?" Shaking his head, he saw a disappointed look on Sylvia's face. "Oh, that's a shame...He's really hard to approach huh? Let's be friends if you don't mind!" Nodding a bit, he receives a big hug from a happy Sylvia. Ryan hugs her back and sweatdrop at how strong the girl's grip is.
"Oh right! See you later! Gotta meet the teacher!"
"...Goodbye...I guess?"
Ryan watched as the girl runs back to her class. "Friends...Hah." A junior getting pushed at the locker in front of him. The weak boy saw him and was about to ask for help but Ryan gave him a disgusted face. The bullies saw Ryan and flee away from the place. "Why are you wasting energy crying than fighting? Don't be pathetic. Use your strength, weakling."
Felt offended enough, the crying guy try to hit Ryan. Ryan's hand stop the fist and he gave him a glare. "I may not know what 2x - 17x is but I know not to waste time and get better." He let go and left the guy there and change into his uniform for club practice.
Leon currently is not on school grounds because the teacher had chosen him as the school representative in a quiz competition. The competition was an easy win for Leon and he flashed a fake smile at the camera. After the bus dropped him back at his school, he saw Ryan at the school garden meditating and saw his muscles. "Wow, he really makes my self-esteem went down."
Looking back at the trophy he won, he makes his way to Ryan. Opening his eyes, Ryan flashed a smile at Leon who's staring at him without showing any emotion. "Where did you get my diary? Not to mention I lost it three years ago you creep." Ryan drinks his water and bows to Leon. "Your diary contains stuff that's all in a language I don't understand except the self-defense part. Thanks for that, I'm now good at Taekwondo." Agreed to himself he created a monster, Leon rub his temple and sob.
While on her walk, Sylvia saw the two males and walks toward them. "Hey there!" Leon moves his eyes to look at Sylvia meanwhile Ryan greets the female back. She saw Ryan sweating and immediately fangirl. "Is this muscles? Wow! I want to join Taekwondo now! Look how strong he looks!" All Ryan could do is chuckle at the girl's action. She starts to do a weak punch. Mark who saw those three talking together mentally calls them idiots and went their way. "Wow, don't punch me with that slow punch." Sylvia stuck her tongue out to Mark which he replies instantly.
"I'm gonna go clean myself. Good day everyone."
Leon leaves right after Ryan left because he needs to meet the teacher and gave them the big trophy. Sylvia is left alone with Mark who's on the phone with his friends. After he ends the call, the girl looks at him with a friendly smile. "Since you're Leon's friends, you're automatically my friends too!" That claim surprised Mark and he shows thumbs up. They get to know each other until school club time ends and Mark decided to walk her home because it's almost night. Well, it's not awkward because Sylvia carried the conversation and Mark felt relief when he doesn't need to say anything.
Ryan stares at Mark and Sylvia from far and hates the vibe Sylvia gave him. Leon who's standing next to him is waiting for him to acknowledge his existence. Ryan stop staring and look to the side just to find Leon. He accidentally screams but Leon pulls him so that they won't get caught. He then put his hands on both Ryan's shoulders to make him look at his face. "You even stalk them when they're not in school, huh? How creepy could you be?" Ryan looks away trying to avoid eye contact.
Mark drop Sylvia at her house to meet up with his group of minions and went to karaoke with them. He never likes outside doors activities but this is what he gets for being too friendly and can't say no. He just sat there eating until his friends decide to go home. On his way back home, he decided to stop at the empty playground and sit on the swing. He smiles and plays the swing for few minutes before getting a phone call.
"Hello?"
"Mr.Loraine...I think it's not possible to keep her alive for few more weeks."
A laugh can be heard by the caller but they only wait for a response from Mark. "Hello? Yes. It's time for my mother to leave. Pull the life support. And call my dad to inform her death." He continues laughing and ended the calls and checks his phone. "No wonder she can't wait for more weeks! It has been one year! 365 Days has passed!" He gets off the swing and went home.
"Should I share this good news with them?"
Mark stops his hand and drops the phone on his bed. "They're not my friends." Mark lay down on his room floors and start to slowly close his eyes to make himself fall asleep. A paper falls next to him.
"Chance to get into class B..."
