1. STUDY TOGETHER WITH RUPERT. ALWAYS!

2. MAKE SURE RUPERT WILL NEVER CAUSE TROUBLE

3. ALWAYS HANG OUT WITH HIM

4. ALWAYS KEEP A WIDEEEEEEEE PATIENCE!

5. MAKE THINGS RIGHT THIS TIME.

After being wide awake last night I came up with this idea. But unfortunately, I forgot that today we have our NCAE. And because of that plan I drained myself so much last night and for sure I will fall asleep later at the NCAE.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH! I thought I'm a the goddess of insomnia ... but why I do feel that my body will collapse due to lack of sleep. I'm so tired! I miss my bed so much at this rate." I sighed with frustration. " It's all that mission's fault...."

"Mission? What mission?"

"RUPERT?!" What the! Is he somewhat a mushroom?!

"What's with the face?!" then he laughed loudly. " Awhile ago... I thought there a zombie walking in front of me. But, it's a giant panda!!!!!"

"HA HA HA HA! HAPPY?" I sarcasticaly answered. Then I hurriedly walked. Urgh! His so annoying.

"HEY ADELE! IDIOT! WAIT FOR ME!" laughed of Rupert then followed me.

I thinked I can't achieve the first mission, although Rupert is a kind of scumbag. Rupert was also on of the list of top student, that's why he is so popular in and out of the school. How does a top student like him will go along with an idiot person liked me?

And because we have our NCAE today, all the student of Grade 10 was reshuffled according to their surname. Should I say, I'm lucky because my surname is Revero, I will not be in one classroom with that asshole.

"Woooowww! You look like a dog grinning on a thin air Agnes." noticed of Bea, sitting next to me.

"You really don't know how happy I'am Bea, entering a room without someone calling me....."

"Idiot.." pop up of Rupert in the window. "Wait for me after the exam." and he walks away.

"You know what.... if other student didn't know your childhood friend, somebody might say you're a perfect couple." Bea suddenly looks away.

"Don't spout nonsense."

Right. We might be a perfect couple... if things gone right and Rupert never died. Shiver down to my spine when I recall how things lead to Rupert's dead and what's written to the journal.

"Agnes? Heaven to Agnes!" Bea looks worried to me. "You're spacing out so much lately Agnes, is there anything wrong?"

" Nothing. " I smiled awkwardly.

And the NCAE went smoothly, Bea and I walks out the classroom and separate our ways on the gate. Because Rupert is waiting on me at the gate.

" Do you have any idea, what are you going to take in Senior High?" Bea asked.

" I want to take Liberal Arts." So I need to study hard this time to be the best director in the future.

" Hmmm. I guess I need to choose Liberal Arts too. And I need to look forward on you for that you know, as far as I know... You and I was on the bottom list of the entire school. "

" You're right. I almost forgot ... so I need to give my 1000% effort on my study. "

When we reached the entrance of the school, Rupert was resting her back on the wall. " What took you so long to come here, you idiot! "

" Stop nagging like a spoiled brat there Rupert. It sucks the hell out of it. " irritated of Bea. " Bye my darling Agnes. "

" Who's spoiled brat she referring to. " frowned of Rupert.

" It's clearly you so stop being agitated. Let's go. " then I grabbed his sleeve and starts to walk. " Anyway... what's with this walking home together again? "

" Yesterday you looked so weird. You fell asleep on class that you don't usually do in your favorite subject. And when you woke up, you begun to cry like you see someone for a long time. " Rupert was so worried I figured it. " That's why. From now on... we will go home together even we are on our Senior year, we will go home together. "

Thank you Rupert... It felt like you've starting to grown up. How sad I didn't notice this earlier before. I was so overwhelm before that I'm not aware of everything around me.

" So how's you're NCAE exam without me by your side. "

" Peaceful... That I could live myself for the next century. " I smiled.

" Owww really. Someone told me, you looked pale holding the Mathematics exam sheet. " he grinned at me.

" It's none of your business you know. " Math sucks! Ever since Mathematics is one of those pain on my neck in studying.

" Would you want to atudy with me? I'm a good tutor for an idiot like you. " Did I misheard it? He wants to tutor me? Does it means we are going to study buddy? Waaaaah!!!! And my first mission was accomplished.

And we went home laughing and playing together, this was the thing I don't wanna miss again.
