Fri(end)

After leaving the guidance counselor's room, Jon didn't head to his classroom. He rushed to the parking area to search for his motorcycle and start it. Jon quickly left the school, not even caring about his bag that was still left behind in the classroom.

What's on Jon's mind right now is to find his old friend whom he thinks can explain what he saw in his memory, as well as what he experienced in the past three days. His old friend is Anne Putri Kanaya, a girl, the only friend he has who has a very different life and environment from Jon.

Despite that, their friendship is nothing more than childhood friends. Until an event occurred that made Jon's name sound bad in the eyes of parents, they separated without exchanging phone numbers.

Although deep down in his heart Jon didn't want to meet her and disturb her life again, he had no other choice. Anne is the only normal person that Jon can rely on, the only person he can talk to and trust. Currently, during the daytime, in the middle of class hours, Jon is skipping and on his way to Anne's school, without realizing that it is the same school where Anne is attending. His mind only leads to the most expensive private school occupied only by rich kids.

Upon arriving at the school, Jon stopped at the closed school gate. Jon took the initiative to climb the gate, and he was able to do it very easily without anyone stopping him. The school security guard who was busy playing chess with another security guard saw Jon's action. However, for some reason, he looked very confused and hesitant, his mind focused on the chessboard in front of him.

When he realized it, Jon had already walked far into the school area. The security guard immediately asked his colleague to chase after Jon because they realized that Jon was not a student of that school.

Jon, who had entered the school area, felt confused as he didn't know which direction to go. He had no idea where Anne's class was, and he wasn't even sure if Anne was a student at that school. He took a wild guess and went to a private school filled with rich kids, and he was convinced that Anne was there.

"Maybe I should go to the cafeteria," Jon thought simply, and he made his way there. However, when he arrived, he was surprised to see that not a single student was skipping class. Jon couldn't believe how empty the cafeteria was, "Do they love their books that much?" he wondered.

Despite that, Jon saw one or two students leaving their class to go to the restroom. He politely approached them and asked where Anne's class was located. However, they didn't know who Anne was.

When Jon tried to approach them again and ask for help in finding Anne, they seemed a bit surprised and uncomfortable seeing a student from another school in theirs. They left Jon alone and didn't want to interact with him further.

Jon felt frustrated and kept trying to approach the students for help. "Hey, hurry up! Please help me find a student named Anne!" Jon yelled. However, the students only responded with confusion, and went to the restroom without providing any assistance to Jon.

Jon realized that his search was not easy and he had to find another way to find her. The only way Jon knew was through a little violence. Without hesitation, Jon pulled the clothing of one of the two people with a little force, but his pull was too strong for the student, causing them to fly back a little.

The student felt uncomfortable and disturbed, so they forcefully released Jon's hand with both hands.

"What? Who are you? We don't know Anne. Besides, who is Anne? Who are you? You're not a student from this school, are you? What are you doing here? Go find her yourself." The student cleaned the part of their clothes that Jon pulled and said.

—Hah? Is he looking to die?" Jon felt insulted and couldn't accept it easily.

He quickly grabbed the collar of the person with anger. His mind was filled with negative thoughts, but Jon managed to control himself and not do anything bad to them.

—FUCK!!!! Calm down, I need to calm down!

Suddenly, one of them felt very scared after remembering something.

Information, stories, and rumors about Jon had spread throughout the school in the city, even some schools outside the city also knew the story. Especially the schools that were still in the same city, they certainly knew about the story.

Although he had never seen Jon directly, the friend of the student who was currently being held by Jon was very aware and knew that the person in front of him was Jon. The wound next to his mouth was evidence that he was Jon.

The legend, the scariest naughty teenager, brutal, and unbeatable.

He ran away, leaving his friend alone with Jon.

The friend who was left behind was very scared until he couldn't hold his urine anymore and wet his pants.

But then, Jon felt the pain in his head again.

"...!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The student who was being held by Jon managed to escape, leaving a trail of urine behind.

Jon suddenly felt very weak all over his body and couldn't stand up anymore. This was because all his strength was focused on holding back the headache he felt, and it happened unconsciously or naturally.

Jon then tried to sit while leaning against the wall in front of the toilet. His gaze was empty like someone who had died, and he could only breathe in that condition. After that, Jon tried to close his eyes.

"Wake up."

"..?"

—Huh? Who-who is it?! Wait-

Jon's headache suddenly disappeared instantly after he heard someone waking him up.

Shortly after that, Jon felt cold, but still within reasonable limits. However, the sudden temperature change he felt from hot to cold made Jon's body quite startled.

"Cold, huh... cold?"

Jon opened his eyes. Darkness. All Jon could see around him was darkness. He couldn't see anything.

"Am I blind? No."

Slowly, Jon's vision began to improve. He was very surprised. He who was originally in a very bright place, now he couldn't see anything. The school cafeteria that was not far in front of him suddenly disappeared.

Jon didn't know anything, he was very confused with the condition he was in right now. Even Jon's position, which was originally sitting against a wall, suddenly changed to lying down or sleeping. The hard texture of the ground he had felt before became softer than before. Jon was silent for a long time.

At this moment, Jon could only breathe and think.

"Am I dreaming?"

"Or am I... dead."
