Two days have passed, and everything has been going well so far, It was another day in university as it showed the teachers entering their separated faculty office as Anne was seen talking to her friends, Students were still getting ready for their classes so Anne and her friends decided to chit chat for a little bit.

Anne: So I was thinking we could go out after college ends, You know, girls' night.

Trish: That sounds awesome! Maybe we should go to a mall.

Scarlett: I'm definitely in for that, I need some new cosmetics, Gotta buy some new eye shadow shades.

Anne: I think I also need some cosmetics, haha.

Trish: I heard there is also a sale going on in the stores.

Scarlett: Yup, We should definitely go out tonight.

Trish: *Giggles* Yeah, and then we should crash into Anne's house.

Anne: *Laughs* Nope, We are going for your house this time, Trish. Why do you all crash into my house every time?

Scarlett: Hahaha, It's fair, don't you think, Trish?

Trish: *Rolls eyes and smiles* Fineee, We should order something when we get back home.

Scarlett: Hmmm, what do you think we should order?

Anne: Guess this: Another one bites the crust!

The girls began laughing at the pizza joke as Anne covered her face in embarrassment while laughing at her own joke.

Scarlett: That was a great joke, Anne.

Trish: *Laughs* I guess we could go for pizza this time.

They all laughed again before they decided to switch the topics, The girls were now talking about upcoming tests and exams that were coming later.

Anne: I'm been thinking about the upcoming chemistry test.

Scarlett: You definitely put tricky questions to test the students.

Anne: Oh, I should, but I shouldn't make this too hard for them.

Trish: Understandable, but it's better to make things a little harder for them, and you will also know who's actually paying attention to their studies.

Anne: You're right about that, What about you two?

Scarlett: *Smirks* I'm thinking about a surprising everyone in a quiz.

Trish: Oh, Scarlett, you're evil!

They shared a laugh together as Scarlett was looking at them with a grin on her face.

Scarlett: What? It's good to surprise people.

Anne; Oh boy, I could imagine the look on their face when you announce the quiz.

Trish: That's true, As for my class, I'm gonna have to be grading the students's homework.

Scarlett: Hopefully, they did well with their homework.

The girls continued talking to each other about their classes along with the upcoming tests.

Meanwhile, Benjamin and Racheal were seen walking through the college hallway while speaking to each other, Benjamin fixed his glasses as Racheal was talking to him.

Racheal: You know that girl, Gionna? She's such a showoff.

Benjamin: Oh really?

Racheal: Yeah, like, do you think anyone cares about how expensive her dresses are, what her dad owns, and how beautiful she looks?

Benjamin: Nope, She's definitely egotistical.

Racheal: Glad you agree with me, Benji. At least her friend Aliyah isn't too bad.

Benjamin: *Chuckles* I'm surprised Aliyah tolerates her.

Racheal: *Laughs* Right.

Benjamin: Oh, and look, I see Darby over there.

When Racheal heard his name, Her face was lighten up as Darby was seen approaching his friends, Both Darby and Benjamin shared a high five as Darby kissed Racheal on the lips as Benjamin had a huge smile on his face.

Darby: Why were you so annoyed, beautiful?

Benjamin: Oh, she was talking about Gionna, She showed up to the classroom and was showing off her looks and stuff.

Darby: Oh, ignore her, She does that all the time.

Racheal: I know that, but it's not like anyone cares about her anyway.

Benjamin and Darby chuckled until they heard someone's phone ringing as McFarland's eyes widened and quickly pulled his phone out, He looked at the contact and felt nervous.

Benjamin: Come on, why now?

Racheal: Hey, is everything okay?

Darby: Who is it?

Benjamin: Uhhh, no one! It's just an Amazon delivery guy. Uhh, my mom ordered something from amazon, and I'll be right back.

He quickly walked away as Racheal and Darby looked at each other in confusion.

Darby: Why was he so nervous?

Racheal: I think he's a bit nervous to make phone calls, I kinda noticed that since what happened with Harry. . . .

Both of them looked a bit down after she mentioned that name, Harry was a good friend of Benjamin back in high school. However, he tragically died, which led Benjamin in grief and sadness.

Meanwhile, Benjamin sneaked inside the janitors room as he noticed no one was around, Benjamin called the number as the person immediately picked it up.

???: *On Call* Hello?

Benjamin: *On Call* Hello? Why did you call me? You already know I have classes today.

???: *On Call* I know that, Kid. But I needed to know if you found any information from that murder case from last week, It's in the same street as the university.

Benjamin: *Narrows his eyes* Can't you just tell me that later? And you know I can't just sneak out of curfew and investigate, Anyone could catch me, and I'll get in trouble.

???: Benjamin, I need your help, Remember? I know you have to focus on your studies as well, but you also need to stay focused on the job.

Benjamin: *Sighs* I know, but please give me some time, okay? I need to go right now.

???: *Sighs* Fine, call me when you're free.

Benjamin quickly hanged up the phone as he sighed heavily until he heard someone opening the door, which startled him as he stood awkwardly and saw a janitor who was confused.

Janitor: What are you doing? You're not supposed to be here?

Benjamin: Uhh. . . . . I didn't mean to come here.

The janitor looked at the young man as Benjamin walked away without saying anything as McFarland was thinking about something.

Meanwhile, Logan was seen chatting with his friends, Drew and Becky, as they were discussing their interests.

Logan: Have any of you watched Meg 2: The Trench?

Becky: Oh, I did! It was an awesome movie.

Drew: I haven't watched it yet, but Becky has been talking about it nonstop.

Becky: I only spoke about it yesterday!

Logan: *Laughs* Alright, Alright, but you should definitely check it out, Drew.

Drew: Hopefully, I can-

Logan: Otherwise, I'll throw you in a sea full of sharks.

Drew: *Stares* Funny.

Becky: Don't say that, Lo. After Drew watches the movie, He might have a fear of sharks.

Drew: Hey! I watched the first movie without a problem.

Becky: Right, but I also recently watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem

Logan: Ooooh, I also saw it two days ago. It was interesting.

Drew: *Chuckles* I haven't watched that as well.

Logan: Oh, Drew, why do you sleep twenty-four seven?

Drew glared at his friend as Logan had a smirk on his face, Becky looked at both of them and noticed a little angry tension.

Becky: Oh boy, Logan. Drew is about to break you.

Logan: I can fight as well, Haha.

Becky: But right now I don't want anyone to kicking each other so you two better step back.

Logan and Drew shared a laugh together as Becky was smiling at them.

Drew: Alright, let's stop that. I'm just kidding with you, Logan.

Logan: Same here, man.

Becky: *Chuckles* Anyways, how is your business course going, Logan?

Logan: Oh its actually been going alright, I'm been learning more each day.

Drew: Sounds awesome, Can't wait to see you own a business one day.

Logan: *Chuckles* Thanks, Maybe we should own one together.

They both shared a small laugh and smiled at each other, They all continued talking about different movies and TV shows as Logan was having an intention to smoke a cigarette.

After Drew and Becky left to do something, Logan had an idea and decided to sneak out the college and smoke a few cigarettes.

Soon, It was robotics class as many students arrived at class and some of them were excited to take their lesson while others were feeling nervous about the lesson.

When the teacher arrived, He noticed most of the students were there, except for one student, and this is Chris Johnson.

Teacher: Has anyone seen Chris Johnson?

The students looked at the teachers and shrugged, The teacher sighed to himself and muttered.

Teacher: This boy better arrive soon.

Meanwhile, Chris was out of college with Roman and Jon, The trio decided to slack off and go outside as Chris was smiling at his friends while looking around the yard.

Chris: I told you I was gonna slack off of class one day.

Jon: *Chuckles* You kept your word.

Roman: Though, don't you think your class is important right now? I heard it's the new lesson.

Chris: *Rolls his eyes* I can check it out later, Right now, we should just relax outside.

The boys had a smile on their face and looked around as Chris lit up a cigarette. However, he also noticed a smell of cigarettes as Roman said something.

Roman: Looks like someone smoked here before.

Jon: I thought smoking wasn't allowed for anyone.

Chris: Hmm, It definitely wasn't me until now.

They laughed and continued walking as Chris was looking at the main gate and noticed there wasn't a security guard.

Chris: Looks like someone got bored of their job.

Jon: What are you thinking, Buddy?

Chris: *Smiles* There is a nearby store, Let's go buy something.

Roman: Sure? The storekeeper might notice us sneaking out of the college.

Chris: Don't worry, He won't.

Roman and Jon shrugged while smiling, They decided to join their friend into some trouble as The trio managed to climb from the gate and landed on the ground safely before they made their way to the store.

They bought some coca cola cans but the storekeeper was giving odd stares to them, They bought the coca cola cans as Chris paid him the money.

Chris: Hey, You got a pack of cigarettes?

Storekeeper: . . . Yes?

Chris: Give me a pack, Here is the money.

Storekeeper: Okay, But first of all, Did you guys come out of college?

Roman: Is that your business?

Storekeeper: No, I'm sure college hasn't finished yet and you guys shouldn't be snooping around.

Chris: I have an idea, How about you stop snooping on people's business and give me the pack of cigarettes?

Chris stared at the man as Jon and Roman looked at each other with a smirk on their face, The storekeeper stared at Chris before giving him the pack of cigarettes.

Chris walked away with his friends as the storekeeper continued glaring at them before looking away.

Eventually, They finished drinking their coca cola cans and sneaked inside the college as the day continued on.
