Jack didn't know his manager's condition till now. When he arrived back home, he try to prepare the fast food for himself. He didn't need to worry about his manager. so, he decided to fry the rice with an egg. He didn't feel like eating cereal and milk products. He remembered what he eat at school in the morning. After that, he was getting diarrhea. He went to the infirmary for taking the medicine from the doctor. But he hasn't seen anyone there. Before he left, he remember that he see the girl lying behind the curtain. He was moving forward there and then the nurse is entering the room. He got the medicine from the nurse and swallow it with a glass of water. Then, he headed back to the class. He was waiting to see her at the canteen for checking if it was her or not. However, he could not see her there. He went back home without seeing his junior. He stopped thinking when he get the burning smell out. He looked at the pan and see the fried rice is already burning out. He shut off the button and put the pan down on the table. He felt bad to eat those. If he put it in the trash, the manager will scold him. So, he decided to eat it up and swallow it down with coke. He put the coke on the table and was ready to finish it. The gross smell was making him lack appetite. But he cleared it up and put the frying pan in the basin and wash it with soap and water. The dishwashing soap was weak enough to clear the leftovers. He couldn't do it in a short time. Then, he decided to leave it. After that, he went into his room and take his bag. He took out unnecessary books and put them in the exercise books and textbooks. He was looking at the timetable which he print out from the school's website. And then, he said, "Now, I am ready". He left the apartment and make sure the door is locking well. Then, he went to school. On his way to school, his phone was ringing and buzzing inside the bag. He was not noticed yet. When he passed the gate, he see the blinking light from the outside of the bag. He was opening the zip and take out the phone. Then, he pushes the power button. He gasped because he see many missed calls on the notification screen. He was dialing back to that number. But it was saying out of the area. He hung up the call and headed inside.

At the hospital, the manager was worried about him. However, the doctor told him don't move. He was requesting the nurse to lend him a phone to make a call. He called his manager first. He got in contact with his manager and tell him about his condition right now. His manager told him, "If he can not go to his job tomorrow, he will lose his job. He didn't want to lose the job easily. But the situation caused him to get fired from his job. The manager told him how hard they solve the absence on his duty. He said, "It's all because of a car crash". But the manager didn't listen to him and said, "Don't say more excuses, you should take the other route to turn back". Then, the manager hung up his phone call and he feel upset. He told himself, "I should've taken the other route". His tears continued falling down and he look at the outside. He saw raining outside. He worried about Jack because Jack never take the umbrella to school. At that time, a nurse ran up to him about they get in contact with his family. He knew it was him. He didn't want him to worry but he put the overload above Jack again.
