"Okay we got another varsity here. You can sit in front of Natty" Mr. Sy said and Rich nodded his head. Before he sat down at the seat assign to him, he wave at Catherine that made the whole class start to whisper.

"I guess they know each other"

"Yeah Catherine looks like she is happy"

"Maybe a friend?"

"Maybe? Or a boyfriend?"

"Stop talking someone and listen to the class" Pip scold the two girls who is talking about Rich and Catherine. They just ignore him and look in front.

Pip just look away as he think if he should do what he has to do. He just groan and get his notebook. Jenrick is just looking at them with a bored expression in his face.

"I notice something" Jenrick said as his eyes land on Piper who is writing something on her notebook.

"What?" Piper whisper, still her eyes on the notebook.

"Your twin brother since bothered about the new guy" Jenrick said and he observe Pip's action.

"Oh maybe he hate the new guy since he is the one who broke his nose" Piper said and she finally look at him. Jenrick taken a back when Piper smile at him.

"B-broke his nose?" Jenrick asked and Piper nodded her head.

"I remember when we are in junior years. The game got intense and our school got won. Well things are fast so we just saw Pip is already on the floor while his nose are bleeding" Piper explained and Jenrick nodded his head.

"You don't know?" Piper asked and Jenrick shook his head.

"What's the rush? Zaizen and the other are still-" Jenrick got cut off when Pip cover his mouth.

"Shhh I don't want to be with then for now" he said while stomping away. Piper raise her eyebrow and she told Jenrick to follow him.

"Why are sulking?" Piper asked when they catch up on Pip who is pouting.
