BRAM The breeze of the night enveloped the shirtless Bram who was spacing out while looking at the sky. He can hear the cricket and the frog sounds, accompanied by the sounds of the flowing water of the fountain in his backyard. This sound and atmosphere helps Bram to relax and just think about his last blissful moment with his mom. He reminisces about the time when his mother was still alive, the two of them will always talk to each other about random things while looking at the countless stars. Now, he can't do anything but just stare at them and look back on moments that will never happen again. He can't let their good times die.

This piercing cold made Bram numbed each time he stepped inside, the house that doesn't feel like a home is like a cage. As he slowly closes his eyes while thinking of the last moment he has with his mother, tears come out. He woke up gas

The guidance room can’t accommodate our school section that’s why we are in the gym right now. Each of us is holding cleaning supplies while avoiding the eyes of each school staff in front of us. Some have bruises and messy hair, some even got in school clinics as they passed out and a few students are in hospital’s town as they were hit by the chairs. “You are a graduating student yet you act like a kid!” Frustrated and upset our homeroom teacher is looking at us showing disappointment by shaking her head. “Everyone of you I want all your guardian to go to school tomorrow no exception” That’s the last reminder from the guidance counselor before she left us to clean the gym. “You all embarrass me, you didn't even bring shame on your section” Our adviser irritatedly said while looking at us intently. “No one is allowed to
