"Iory can you drive faster!?", Mellow nearly shouted. He was panicking ever since he got the phone call from Sara. "Faster!!", he finally bursted. Iory got irritated by him and yelled back, "Then how about you drive?!"

"Are you challenging me right now?", Mellow glared at him. Iory glared back and said, "look, calm down for a bit. They said that Rem was alright and might wake up in any minute. Heck, he's probably regained consciousness right now"

Iory was right. Mellow was exaggerating it. He knew that Iory wanted to comfort him. He took a deep breath and leaned his back against the seat. "Yeah.. you're right.. let's just hurry"

The two of them drove for about 2 minutes until the school building finally came to view. Iory stopped in front of the gate and the two of them got out at the same time. "Where is he at?", Iory panted. Mellow replied, "the infirmary!", and the two of them ran all the way to the infirmary.

"Over there!", Iory pointed to the right side of the main building. The two of them rushed to the infirmary and saw Sara in front of the door.

"Sara!", Mellow called. Sara looked at Mellow and Iory. "Mellow! And Iory as well?", she asked in surprise.

"What, you're disappointed?", Iory panted as he bent over. Sara scoffed and sarcastically replied, "not really. I'm just amazed that you're doing well"

"Hey, hey.. I know that you have a thing for me but I'm a new man now so back off", he said with a smug on his face.

"Shut it, if the two of you want to act like an old married couple, then go away", Mellow told them off. The two of them glared at each other while Mellow knocked on the door.

"Excuse me!"

Just then, a nurse opened the door and asked, "are you Remon's guardian?"

"Yes I am. Is Rem alright?", Mellow replied as he entered inside the infirmary along with Iory and Sara.

"Rem!", he called out. Inside the infirmary, he saw Rem sitting on the bed along with two nurses beside him.

"Mellow!", he tried to get out of the bed. Mellow rushed towards him and gave him a hug. "Are you okay? Are you hurt? Does your head hurts?", Mellow questioned him non stop. "Mellow, I'm fine", Rem reassured him.

He looked at the nurse who was holding a piece of paper and asked, "is he really okay?"

The nurse nodded and said, "he's alright. Just need to drink more water, that's all"

Mellow sighed in relief after hearing that. He sat on the bed next to Rem and pat the boy's head.

"Thank goodness", Sara smiled. Iory looked at her and mumbled loud enough for her to hear, "if only someone didn't overreacted"

Sara quickly turned her head towards Iory and scoffed, "hmph! If only someone didn't drive over here like wild animal"

Mellow and Rem stared at the two of them, enjoying the drama. "It doesn't seem like they're fighting over a serious topic", Rem whispered. Mellow leaned towards Rem and whispered, "well..the two of them liked each other during highschool. Maybe history is about to repeat itself?"

"Excuse me", said someone at the door. Everyone in the infirmary looked towards the door and saw Jose holding Rem's bag. "Jose!", Rem called him excitedly. Jose walked up to Rem and handed his bag.

"Since the school will be over soon, I figured you might go home after this", said Jose.

Mellow looked at Jose from his face to his nametag. He thought that the boy looked familiar but, who? Jose noticed that Mellow was staring at him for a while and it made him nervous. "Uh um.. nice to meet you. I'm Rem's deskmate. My name is Josepher Ender"

Mellow replied him with a grin, "I'm Mellow, pleasure to meet you"

The two of them shook hands and Jose continued talking to Rem. Mellow stood up and walked towards Iory and Sara. Iory stared at Jose from behind while frowning as if trying to remember something. Mellow looked at him and teased, "what's wrong Chewbacca? Trying to shed your beard?"

Iory pull the end of his beard and said, "that boy.. looks exactly like someone I know..but I forgot who"

"Didn't he said his last name was Ender?", Mellow replied.

Sara looked and them, confused. "What do you mean? Ender is the school principal, Principal Ender. Josepher is his second son", she said casually. Both Mellow and Iory looked at her at the same time, eyes widened. "Ender? You mean Ender the baldy?", Iory whispered. Sara nodded and the two of them looked at each other with disbelief.

"No way.."
