"You okay?" ask William to make sure. Claretta shook her head slowly.
"Thank you for helping me." Claretta thanks the three.
"It's not a problem, after all we can't stay silent to see you in such trouble" Calvin replied.
"true." Jack chimed.
"I'm glad you're okay." William smiled at her.
Claretta smiled back thinly.

The bell for home sign has rung. William stepped down the corridor with a thought that kept in mind the words of Calvin and Jack a moment ago while in the cafeteria.
Take dating? The claretta? he thought with his head down. He daydreamed, silent a thousand languages with feet that kept on stepping.
Calvin and Jack were waiting for him at the front gate. They will go to the gymnasium for football practice as usual.
William parted with them because he suddenly had to go to the toilet to urinate.
"Dating?" william muttered repeating the word, which inexplicably continued to dance in his brain.
William sighed softly. His head was down with a gloomy face.
His mind suddenly floated, turning to think of something else. His memory of the events had suddenly reoccurred in his mind to make the pain that had been buried, suddenly returned to the surface.
Will I be able to start a new relationship, while I am still traumatized by what happened? I still hesitate to get into a relationship with another girl. Whenever I tried to get in touch with another girl, I was always suddenly haunted by her, William's inner self.
Ah, there is no time to think of such a thing for now. I better focus on my training. Soon my team and I will have to face the match, he thought. William shook his head slowly as he sauntered away from the corridor.

Joe was silent with his head bowed staring at the frame in his grasp. Ever since he found out Derek was running away and in danger, Joe kept thinking about the man who became his brother and his only family.
Joe can't even focus on his task of capturing Elvina and William.
"So, how are you doing now?" she looked slowly at the photo of her smiling sister there.
"I'm really worried about you. Just try that at that time, we didn't fight and I stayed with you to make you realize that what you're doing is dangerous. This is all definitely not going to happen. You're definitely not gonna end up being an international fugitive like this."
Joe's att.i.tence was suddenly seized by a loud voice emanating from his telecosys. He immediately pressed the button on the object to make a hologram screen appear before him and reveal the figure of the professor who is now staring at him.
"What are you doing? Why do you feel like you're in the house?" asked the old man in a slightly annoyed voice.
"I'm trying to work out a plan, prof.." Joe said in a lethargic voice.
"You haven't done anything to win Elvina and William?"
Joe shook his head slowly.
"Joe, remember! I let you go free because you have to handle Elvina and William. If you continue to grieve because your sister is missing, then I will have to pull you up and move you back to the lab. Let me replace you with another guard" he threatened.
"Please don't do that, prof…"
