It was the next day, and it was another busy day in college, The students were seen taking their way to their respective classrooms while teachers were already in their offices. Anne was seen leaving her office with Trish, Today was chemistry class, and it was going to start in fifteen minutes, and Trish decided to accompany her to the classroom.

Trish: You know the male gym teacher? He's literally so hot.

Anne: *Holding her laughter* No way, you're implying that you have a crush on him?

Trish: What? He looks handsome, and he's really caring to his students.

Anne: Nothing bad with that, I'm just shocked that you have a crush on him, Haha.

Trish: *Smiles* Do you think I can score a date with him?

Anne: Of course you can, Try asking him out after college.

Trish: You're right, I should really ask him out.

Anne: Good luck with that, Trish.

They both smiled at each other until Trish had a phone call as she sighed and looked at her friend.

Trish: I have to take a phone call right now, I guess I'll see you after class.

Anne: Of course, See you later, Trish.

They both smiled at each other as Trish answered the phone and walked away while talking, Anne decided to make her way to the classroom herself as she was thinking about the upcoming test along with the questions she will be adding.

She began thinking about her life in general, Anne already hated being alone, and every day, she feels more lonely, However she doesn't trust anyone anymore, After her failed relationships, She wasn't sure who to trust anymore.

She was deep in her thoughts that Anne didn't realise she was about to bump into the wall. Suddenly, someone grabbed her as Winters snapped back into reality and looked at the man who stopped her from hitting the wall.

Anne looked at him and recognised it was the physics teacher, Cillian looked at her with concern as he spoke to her.

Cillian: Be careful, You were about to hit the wall.

Anne: *Adjusts her glasses and laughs a little* Oh yeah, sorry about that. I was just lost in my thoughts.

Cillian: Haha, that's relatable, but still, you should be careful next time.

He slowly moved his hand away from her arm as Anne smiled at him and looked at Cillian.

Anne: You're the physics teacher, right?

Cillian: Yes, that's right.

Anne: Nice to meet you, You replaced the previous teacher four years ago, haha.

Cillian: I heard he did some shady stuff, Is that true, though?

Anne: *Shrugs* I don't know about that. Only the principal keeps the secrets.

Cillian just smiled at her and looked at the chemistry classroom as Anne was looking at him, She couldn't help but admit, He looked really handsome.

Cillian: I suppose this is your class?

Anne: Yes, my class is gonna start in ten minutes, The students are probably making their way here.

Cillian: Okay, should I accompany you for these ten minutes?

Anne: *Smiles* That's kind of you, but it's fine, I'll talk to you later.

Cillian: No problem, take care.

They both smiled at each other as Anne entered the classroom, Cillian continued staring at her and had a smile on his face, Anne looked really beautiful, and he was already thinking about meeting her again after class.

Sometime has passed as business class was going, Robert was talking about the lesson while explaining detail by detail to the students, Logan was listening to the teacher while taking notes, Kenway has been learning more about business each day and he would already think about the future.

Soon, class was finally over as Logan was asking some questions to Robert, The teacher answered his questions and gave him tips and a detailed explanation as Logan smiled and thanked Robert before leaving the class.

Drew and Becky were standing outside the class as Kenway looked at them and had a smile on his face.

Becky: Hey, you stayed a little longer today.

Drew: Did you get in trouble?

Logan: Oh no, I just had a few questions that I wanted to ask Mr. Downey.

Becky: *Smiles* It's nice to know how dedicated you are to your studies.

Drew: Keep it up, Logan. You're gonna do great in the future.

Logan: Thanks, You both are awesome.

They smiled and began walking through the hallway, The friends were chatting about their studies along with different things until someone snapped their fingers as the trio turned around and saw someone standing with a grin on his face and the trio looked annoyed to see him.

This is Grayson Weller, Twenty two years old and He is Logan, Drew and Becky's rival, Mostly Logan and Grayson had a huge rivalry, Weller hated Kenway's guts and Logan hated his cockiness and arrogant behaviour.

Grayson: Look who it is, the biggest joke of Hemsworth University, Logan Kenway.

Logan: What do you want, Grayson? You have nothing better to do.

Becky: You should just get out of our way, Weller.

Drew: We are warning you.

Logan: *Chuckles* Relax guys, I can handle it.

Logan began walking towards Grayson as both of them had a staredown.

Logan: Let's not start a fight, Grayson. How about we just go through our own ways?

Grayson: *Chuckles* You don't want to start a fight? Try me, Kenway.

He spread his arms and had a cocky smile on his face, which ticked off Logan, but he managed to keep cool as Kenway had a small smile on his face and said something.

Logan: Hey, how are your studies going? I heard you're studying pussyology.

Grayson's eyes widened in shock as Becky and Drew were shocked and began holding their laughter as Logan continued smiling at him.

Logan: You're always a pussy cat after all, So that course fits you very well and it might lead you to success in life.

Grayson: Oh you should be glad I'm gonna spare you.

Logan: *Spreads his arms and smirks* Try me. You're all talk but no action at all.

Grayson was about to punch Logan until he noticed a lot of students were watching them and Drew and Becky could have fought back if Grayson raised his hand on Logan. Instead, he glared and pushed Logan as the smile on Kenway's face faded away as both of them were staring at each other.

Grayson: Watch, Your teeth are going to be in my hands.

Grayson walked away in anger as Logan was staring at him before he looked at his friends and smiled.

Logan: Come on, He's just a waste of time.

Drew and Becky smiled as the trio walked away.

Benjamin: Don't fall, don't fall, don't fall.

Benjamin was seen climbing off the back gate outside the college, His boss has been calling him and demended to meet him at the department.

McFarland found a way to sneak out of the college as He was slowly climbing off the gate, Benjamin was carefully trying to land on the ground until his hands slipped and Mcfarland fell hardly on the ground as he was holding his back.

Benjamin: Dang it, At least I made it.

He looked around if anyone noticed him as McFarland quickly ran away while making his way to the department.

[Ten Minutes Later]

Arnold Schwarzenegger, He is forty-eight years old and is the commissioner of the police department, Since Harry's passing, Benjamin and Arnold have been working together to investigate crime and find dirt on any case.

Benjamin: I literally had to sneak out of college, Just to see you.

Arnold: You're getting smarter and smarter each day, How did you manage to sneak out?

Benjamin raised an eyebrow and narrowed his eyes, He just wanted to get this over with as Arnold noticed his expression and stared at him.

Arnold: Alright, fine. First of all, I wanted to ask how college is going for you?

Benjamin: It's been alright.

Arnold: Do you think there is something going down the campus so far?

Benjamin: So far, nothing, but I'm still investigating more into it, I kinda have doubts about the college sometimes.

Arnold: What do you mean?

Benjamin: I mean, before I joined, I heard the old physics teacher was doing some shady business with dangerous gangs. But I guess the college found out about it and immediately kicked him out.

Arnold: Did he get kicked or arrested?

Benjamin: I'm not sure about that.

Arnold looked at him and rested his arms on the table while talking to the informant.

Arnold: Now to think about it, don't you think your college hides a lot of secrets?

Benjamin: Maybe. . . Maybe a lot of dark secrets.

Arnold: Make sure to keep your eyes and ears open, I never heard about the physics teacher's case so far.

Benjamin: You're right about that, I think that happened four years ago.

Arnold: Four years ago? Okay, We should try looking into old files.

Benjamin: But what's the point on that? He's probably gone now, Maybe he got arrested in another city.

Arnold: True, but I'm curious about the gang he was working with.

Both of them continued discussing more about the case until they changed the topic to Harry's case, Benjamin began having memories of his best friend, and he felt hurt whenever he heard his best friend's name. He always wondered. . . .

What happened to Harry?

Chris Johnson was seen playing with his gutair in his dorm, He continued playing and began singing one of his favourite songs, Johnson didn't have any class to attend, so today was basically a free day for him. However, he needed to read about the new lesson about robotics that he skipped but he thought he could do it later.

Once Chris was done, He placed his guitar aside and looked at the time on his phone, Johnson was feeling a bit hungry and wanted to take a snack. But he didn't find anything in the kitchen as Chris sighed and left his dorm while planning to buy something at the supermarket.

While Chris was about to leave, He noticed someone listening to music on her phone as Johnson looked at the woman and had a small smile on his face.

It was Aliyah, She was eating Cheetos while listening to music, Chris continued watching her until Aliyah noticed him as she looked at Chris and smiled at him.

Johnson began walking towards her as Aliyah closed the music and looked at him as Chris cleared his throat and spoke to her.

Chris: Hey there.

Aliyah: *Smiles* Aren't you Chris Johnson?

Chris: Am I popular now?

Aliyah: Hahaha, maybe. I heard about you, but anyways, what brings you here?

Chris: Oh nothing, I was thinking about grabbing a snack, I might go to the supermarket.

Aliyah: Did you take permission from the college, though? You can't leave without letting them know.

Chris: Nope, not really. It's a quick walk, nothing bad.

Aliyah: *Chuckles* Boy, You surely like trouble.

Chris: *Laughs* Funny.

Aliyah: I mean, I got snacks in my dorm. You can borrow some.

Chris: Really?

Aliyah: Of course, come inside.

Both of them went inside the dorm as Chris was looking around, It looked very neat and nice inside as Aliyah and Chris went to the kitchen, She gave him some snacks as Chris was eating chips while talking to her.

Chris: Thanks, Aliyah.

Aliyah: You're welcome, Has anyone ever called you handsome?

Chris: A lot of girls did, but it means a lot coming from you.

Aliyah: Well, thanks, Handsome.

Chris: I guess I'll be leaving now, I'll see you later again.

Aliyah: Sure, Can I have your number by the way?

Chris: Ooooh we are already getting there?
