"Where are you going Master?" Jeya asked.

"To your house." Master Wolf said.

"No!" Jeya strongly disagreed. "I mean, my parents were strict and.. and our house was small for us. They also didn't know that I.. I joined you." Jeya explained.

"Okay." Master Wolf said. He was back with his cold and silent attitude.

"But.. maybe I could take you somewhere." Jeya got her conscience. She knows that if he didn't appeared she was already dead, he was actually her benefactor but she couldn't even invite her to her place. Though he save her, she can't explain to her mother how did she end up being a gang target, she can't say that their weak daughter joined a gang.

Jeya take them to a nearby game house. This is a place where there are many game machines can be played like a play station.

What special about this place is it has a closed karaoke room. Many students are also present. Some chose the karaoke to hide their school uniform because it was prohibited to wear it outside the school.

Master Wolf gave her his red rag handkerchief and look at her. Jeya didn't know what he was trying to say. Giving up, Master Wolf called another one, then the other one get his rag and show it around to them. The Red gang who was with them put some money to the rag until Master Wolf and Jeya put some money too. The other one gave the rag with money to her.

"Buy some tickets and snacks" said the other one.

Jeya looked at the Master Wolf,then he nodded at her.

She didn't always hang to them so there are some gestures she didn't know. She walks towards the counter and bought the ticket for one karaoke room.

They entered a karaoke room in the middle. Some didn't enter and just choose a game machine to play a game.

While sitting, one of them put an alcohol at their table.

"Yeah!" everybody exclaimed.

While they were drinking the alchohol some sing a song from the karaoke stage. Jeya was the only one who didn't drink.

"One song!" someone gave her the songlist.

"I'm fine, You sing. I'm okay." Jeya turn down.

"Sing one, for me." Master Wolf gaze at her.

"Okay." Jeya didn't know why but she felt that Master Wolf wanted to eat her alive. Is he drunk already? Then, I will just sing at the stage for more songs.

The gang saw her walking on the stage so they cheered for her. "Go Flesh! Flesh! Flesh!.."

Jeya choose her favorite song. You'll be safe here by Rivermaya.

"Nobody knows just why we're here...

Could it be fate or random circumstance..

At the right place,At the right time.

Two roads intertwine...." Jeya sang it slowly and emotionally. She was looking at the gang with emptiness.

"And if the universe conspired..To meld our lives,to make us fuel and fire..Then know

whereever you will be...So too shall I be." She then looked away from them. The gang admire her.

"Close your eyes.Dry your tears. 'Cause when nothing seems clear.You'll be safe here!

From the sheer weight of your doubts and fears,Weary heart,You'll be safe here!" Jeya was seriously singing.

The day ended up with the gang being drunk. Someone came with a truck to ride them home.

"Take care!" Jeya exclaimed. It was so late at night but she was not worried about being scolded in home because she won't be scolded.

Jeya got inside their house sneaking to her room because the lights are out, everyone is asleep.

Morning came and Jeya was late for the first subject. She ride a bus and rush to their second subject. Running she was trip and when she was about to fall flat on the ground she hugs the person in front of her.

"Aiyah." Jeya slowly stand up. "I'm sorry, I was tripped."

A student who was so evil like, punk like, emo like, rockstar like was infront of her. "...."

"Looks like someone will be on trouble." the other students who saw her hug the man gossips with each other.

Jeya look at him up and down to his uniform."Theres no damage." she smiled. "If there is, come find me, I'm Jeya from Junior 3-N! Bye!" she ran away to rush to their English subject.

"She dares." said the other gossiper.

"She is bold." said the other one.

Amidst the gossips. The evil,punk,emo,rockstar like guy got blushed.

He looks seriously mad but he was blushing and his ears are red.

"Sorry Maam. I'm late!" Jeya got on the door of the room.

"Come inside, we just had sit." Mrs.Williams said.

She walks inside but then she suddenly remembered what happened yesterday, she sit on his chair beside Cris.

Cris was leaning on his back and his face was covered by his blue rag handkerchief like she was sleeping. He suddenly sit straight and removed his cover.

Jeya went stiff. 'I almost forgot yesterday event, this thug. he was trying to kill me.'

Cris sigh,"I'm sorry."

Jeya was shocked by his words. She was speechless.

"It's my fault, I'll take revenge for you." Cris said.

"...." Jeya was confused but chose to don't speak with him again. 'then you can just revenge to yourself.' she thought. 'maybe it's a blessing in disguise, I can finally study in silence.' she added.

"What are you thinking? You thought it was my plan right?" Cris face her.

Jeya saw some bruises and swell on his face and arms. "What hap..." out of her habit she was about to ask concerned him. 'this was the cause of the ramble yesterday?' she ask herself then take a glimpse at him. He was still looking at her then she look away.

"I know I'm still as handsome as hell." Cris narcissistic side emerge.

Jeya look at the board and ignored him.

"Great, you're not mad at all." he said.

"What did you say? I'm not mad at all?" she ask him if she heard him right.

"I thought you be nagging me when you saw me." Cris answered her.

"Oh guess what." she look at him. "I'm so furios that I become speechless towards you.You almost killed me! You know that?"

"Well now that you're not speechless then, you not mad anymore." Cris said to her devilishly.
