Lucas
Vacuity

Two weeks have passed, but nothing bad has happened. Anna has not seen Lucas since the last time they were in an elevator.

"According to Mrs.Martha, Lucas has not been home for a long time. Has that guy moved in? But Mrs.Martha didn't say that" Anna muttered.

When passing through the mailbox on the bottom floor of the boarding from the pile of untouched letters, it has been explained that Lucas did not return to boarding for two weeks.

"Maybe he's moved, thank goodness. I'll make sure later, the new cctv that I installed at that time I can take off."

"Eh, but you better not. Just in case, I'll stay alone. Very dangerous," Anna muttered.

Today Anna has a freshman welcoming party at her campus, where the event is in a karaoke family not far from campus.

"Anna, over here!" The cry from the voice that Anna was very familiar with made the girl approach the direction the voice was coming from.

"Sorry, I'm late, El."

"Ah, no problem. We just got there, too" Ellie replied as she clasped Anna's arm.

"It turns out the karaoke family here is quite eccentric as well" said Anna. Anna who had never gone to such a place before could only observe.

"Yes, the place is comfortable too. Have you ever had karaoke here?" ask Ellie.

"Eh, no. It's my first time, so I'm a little confused."

"Really's? Then let's have some fun!" rey came out of nowhere.

"You're so excited, Rey," Ellie said.

"Of course, dong, when else can I meet Anna outside of college?" Rey pulled down her eyebrows, glancing towards Anna.

"Right, Anna is taking more time for partime than playing with us" Ellie lamented.

"You are so much better, already. Come on inside, you guys are waiting for us" Anna asked.

The girl walked ahead of her two best friends, otherwise her affairs would be long. What else Rey who continues to be noisy wants a duet with him, where Anna wants to sing in public.

Not because Anna did not want to sing, but her voice was more suitable as a traveling vegetable seller.

"Hi, Ellie, Anna, Rey, are you coming together?" ask Agnes.

"No, we're breathing in front."

"Oh kirain, let's quickly choose which song you want to sing" said Delon.

Confused the karaoke room by a chat of Anna's department friends, some of them have contributed songs

"It's my turn" said Ellie.

Ellie brushed her long black hair and took the mic, and she began to sing.

Whistling sounds, applause and praise for the perfection of Ellie's singing voice tone plus Ellie's dazzling face add to the scene.

"He's really a college idol" Anna muttered.

"This place is too noisy and narrow, I want to go home quickly," said Anna. The soft drink he ordered was almost gone.

"Eh, Anna. Can I just ask you something?" Agnes welcomed him.

"Okay, what do you want?" Anna is a bit awkward, as this is the first time Anna has spoken directly with her departmental friend. Usually Ellie will be the messenger.

"If it's not wrong, you're a scholarship student. Is the scholarship enough for everyone? Honestly I'm in economic trouble, the plan is next semester I want to find a scholarship," said Agnes shyly.

"In fact, it is not enough, the scholarship money only covers tuition fees and other college needs. I work part-time to cover the lack of living expenses and rent costs, but maybe someone gives a scholarship that will give a monthly stipend beyond the cost of tuition," Anna said.

"May I know how?" ask Agnes again.

"certain."

Anna then tells what steps Agnes must take in order to get the desired scholarship.

"Eh, not really." Embarrassed if others thought so to her, Anna was not antos but she was just inferior. Anna's been a lot better lately since she got to know Ellie.

"Anna, it's your turn now" Rey said.

"I'll skip, Rey. My voice is false, you'll have an earache."

"Well, Rey. You were rejected." Some of the men in the room laughed.

"Come, Ann. Just once, if anyone dares to fuss you let me take care of it." Rey continues to beg Anna to sing, Ellie also helps Rey.

"Okay, just this time."

Inevitably Anna got up from her seat and started choosing songs from Japanese rock bands that she liked. Renegades, One Okay Rock.

"Crazy, Anna's taste is okay too!"

It turns out that many know the song, until some of them sang along with Anna. Enough to make the tension in Anna's heart subside.

"Where's Ellie?" anna asked after the last verse of the song she was singing was done.

"He said he went to the toilet but it was a long time, too" replied Agnes.

"Let me check" said Anna.

"Ann, don't we want a duet?" Rey tried to hold Anna who was already at the door.

"Sorry Rey, you duet with the others first huh."

"Hahaha, crazy Bro, your efforts have not been fruitful as well" Delon said.

"Damn it, you."

Without bullying Rey and using her friends, Anna decides to look for Ellie's whereabouts.

"Where are the children, in the bathroom there is nothing, really," Anna's mind.

Her eyes caught Ellie talking to a man she didn't know.

"Who is he?" asked Anna who was suddenly behind Ellie.

"Anna! Ih, you just ngagetin. She's this--"

It wasn't finished that Ellie explained who the person she was talking to was, but the man had already left first.

"What does he want?" asked Anna with sharp eyes.

"She said she wanted to ask me something and then asked for my number."

"Then? You love?"

"It was, but your hunt came, Ann."

Anna sighed, as usual, "Ellie, you're too naive. Not everyone in this world is good. A person who looks friendly can be a serial killer."

"Why can you say that?" ellie asked not understanding Anna's way of thinking which was sometimes too complicated.

"El, don't trust strangers too easily. How many times have I told you, you are beautiful and also a person who cannot refuse the requests of others. People like you will be easy targets for those with malicious intentions" Anna said.

"But, Ann. How do I know if he's a good person or not if I just met him?" ask Ellie.

Anna scooped her face in frustration, "From her gait alone it can sometimes look like El."

"But how can you be so sure?"

"That's because I live alone here, if you only have yourself to depend on, then you'll find a lot of bird stuff from other people" Anna said.
