Back to Earth...

Malix stared at the ceiling fan.
Whirring round and round... just like what Jok did...
But after all, he will never have to return to see that guy again.

Well, at least if I can control it...

He propped himself up, and took a look around his room, the room which he had spent 18 years in.
The room he will not leave behind without a reason.

No, not without a very good reason.

It sure would be interesting to live in that world...

But after all the trouble, Malix is finally back to reality.
What a long and dreary dream it was...

If only he could impress Pepper further...
If only he could beat Jok up real bad...
If only he could accept the invitation...
If only he could...

"Time."
"Huh? Oh my god! I'm going to be late!"

The lethargy from the afternoon nap swept away immediately.
He bounced up, kicked off the blanket and landed by the bedside on both feet.
No more time to think about that dream.
Pepper is coming back at 6, and the nap lasted till 5pm.

Man, I can't believe how long Ive slept... Gotta move fast!

"Argh!"
*Thud*

Recognition(3)...

Jok and Pepper went past the mark once more.

"Another one and I'm out of here!" she smirked.

Jok remained silent...

*ta ta ta ta* the footsteps continued...

"Hey, relax..."
"Stop it."
"Ok..."

Pepper looked worriedly at Jok.
It must have been too much of a shock for him...

*ta ta ta ta*

Just as she opened her mouth again...

"Alright!" a megawatt grin appeared on his face.
"What?"
"I can make it in time!"
"Make what?"
"In time! Make it in time for supper!"
".."
"Yeah! If I sprint now, I will be left with 200 laps by 10pm,
and I'll just drag myself for the last 1 hour!"

*ta ta ta ta*

"Number 200, I'm off."

Pepper jogged off to the west wing, shaking her head in disbelief.

Shouldn't he be more worried about Malix?
After all, it's HIM...



*ta ta ta ta*

"So he's the one huh... I never expected to find him so quickly..."
"The 3rd floor."

Jok turned to see Malix walking on the 3rd storey's corridor.
Just beside Malix was the most powerful guy in the campus.

"So he is indeed one strong bastard..."
