"One Player down"

26 April,

Time: 3:30 PM

At 11 Arts classroom,

.

"So with this, today is the end of your high school 2sd year. I hope you have learnt a lot and regretted a little less. All the best for your sports meet as well as the final exams and also happy vacation!" There Homeroom teacher said as he closed his register with a smile as the students clapped not for others but for themselves.

Proud for being able to pass a year without a fail.

.

"Who is exited for tomorrow!" Ling aksed as she jumped in excitement and only Yuan returned the excitement.

"Clowns~" Some of the kids said as they ignored them and talked in their own small friend circle.

.

"....Can you believe it another year passed in a blink of eye?" Ning said as she looked around as she noticed the happy faces as they passed a year and sad faces as the had only a year left.

"...I am not that amused.." Feng said as he looked at his phone which Yuan bought for him...yeah and his old one was out of repair.

.

"You look so unbothered...aren't you sad for parting with your classmates which whom you have shared memories for more then a decade?" Ning asked as she raised her eyebrows not really impressed by his answer.

"(I have already parted with them once...doesn't matter if I part once more, it's not like we will remmber each other once we step out of this school...eventually everyone will get busy with their life...)"

Feng thought as he sighed and looked at Ning.

.

"Ning we still have a year left...so instead of being sad about the ending why not just be happy for the upcoming beginning?" Feng said as he tilted his head.

"You are absolutely right, Feng Ge we must not be sad for the ending but we must be happy for the upcoming beginning! So why not start celebrating for the new beginning today?" Yuan said as he placed his arms over his shoulder.

.

"And since you are the one who gave such moral words...so why not you treat us to a meal~ A home-cooked meal would be preferred a lot." Ling said as she grinned while holding Ning's hand.

"You know, no need to sugar coat things I understand...I understand all of it." Feng said as he removed Yuan hands from his shoulders and taking his bag over his shoulder.

.

Three of them looked at himas he walked towards the door and suddenly stopped before looking at them with a confused face,

"Don't tell me! Do I need to buy the items with my own money? Seriously! Yuan I am not a chaebol like you."

.

Three of them exchanged glances and broke into a heart full laugh,

"Don't worry, I will pay for the items, You just need to cook and girls don't be shy and buy whatever you want!"

.

"The pros of having a sugar friend~" Ling said as she clenched onto the snacks she bought and grinned.

Right now the four have gathered at Feng's house, Ling and Yuan sat on the sofa with all the snacks lying on the table.

.

"You took my words very seriously..."

"Come on Yuan, don't be such a party popper~ See I even bought this lollipop for you."

"Seriously Ling? You spended almost half of my monthly expenses and now you are handing me a lollipop which you got for free!" Yuan said as he looked at the receipt in his hand.

.

"Hehe, come on! You must feel lucky that I spended your money or else there are people standing in a never ending line just for my attention." Ling said as she sat put her hands around his shoulders.

"Little do they know that line will lead them to the pit of debt." Yuan said in a tiny voice as he removed her hands with an annoyed expression.

.

"Feng, do you need any help?" Ning asked as she entered the kitchen.

"Huh? Why? Are those two into a fight again?" Feng asked as he gave her a glass of orange juice.

"Thank you and yeah they are in their Tom and Jerry fight again...I hope they don't break anything."

And---*clash*

Came the sound from the living room.

.

"Too late." Feng said as he ran towards the living room followed by Ning.

As they reached the living room, they saw Ling on the sofa and Yuan laying on the ground with the glass cup shattered right beside his leg.

.

"Ling Jia! Do you want want kill me??" Feng alsed as he looked at Ling who herself was shocked by the scene before her.

"I---I didn't meant to....I am sorry I am very sorry." Ling said as she quickly got down and sat beside him.

.

"Help me up first."

"Oh Okay"

"Ahh! No No stop! My leg hurts!"

"What?" Ling said and she let go of his hand right in air making him fall right on his butt.

"Ahh! Ling!!"

"Sorry!"

.

"Ling, calm down and clean this mess first and maybe you got a cramp on your leg..." Ning said as she touched the sore portion on his foot and Yuan shrieked.

"Looks like Ning is right. But no worries just rest for 2 days and you will be fine." Feng said as he made him sit on the sofa comfortably.

.

"No its not fine!" Yuan said as he looked at both Ning and Feng.

"Huh? but there is still time for exams so why are you so worked up?"

"Feng Ge I am not worried about exams...I am worried about the cherrleading competition. If I don't take part in it tomorrow then--"

Ning and Ling looked at each other whereas Feng looked at him as if he was some ghost.

.

"Shit!!" Ling shouted as she gripped on to her hair tightly and cursed herself for a millionth time.

"Fall on us" Ning murmered as she looked at Feng who was as shocked as her.

.

"(...Will we be fine?..)"
