Mia was watching over the boys when she was waiting for Lily to come back.

Mia: It's getting late, where is she?! Anything bad could bad happen at this moment.

When Mia looked around, she startled by the sudden appearance of a woman with her long hair and white gown, she assumed that it might be Lily and let out a deep breath.

Mia: Hey! Where were you?! You have been gone for a while!

What Mia really didn't know, was that she's talking to the actual ghost, which was Angel. She was looking over the boys who were in their tents in fear.

Mia: See Lily? These boys might be brave to some things, or even pretending to it, but not everything. They do have a fear that they will lose their life if they got caught by the ghost. Behaving manly is such a waste of time, I don't really know the true meaning behind the word 'man'.

Angel was just listening to Mia while her glowing red eyes kept staring at the boys down there.

Mia: But you know something? There are some true men who're willing to do anything for their women, not all of them are bad after all. Those bastards....like they took the life of Angel was a deadful sin, they don't deserve a second chance in any future life they born.

Angel started to feel guilty for trying to hurt these innocent boys at the camp, after witnessing Lily's begging to spare Naim in front of her eyes. The ghost itself smiled slightly and closed her eyes, regreting her moves in each and every second. Without any warning, she disappeared into thin air, let go of those boys from her trap.

Just at that time, Lily came back after finding Naim in the abandoned house, she saw Mia talking to herself from a bit far away.

Lily: Mia! Who are you talking to?!

Mia was again startled by Lily's entry on the other side of her.

Mia: Lily?! Why are you standing here? You were just stand......

As Mia turned back where she thought Lily was, she found nothing like before.

Mia: You were just standing there like a few minutes ago.

Lily: Uh...Mia, I just came back now, what are you talking about?

Mia furrowed her eyebrows from what she heard, it took a few moments for her to realize the truth. She widened her eyes and pointed at the place where the ghost was standing.

Mia: You.....you.....you weren't.....there?........

Lily: No, I'm not Mia. I just came back now!!!

Mia: Then.....who did I..........

Mia suddenly fainted on Lily's shoulder in shock, she grabbed her tightly before she landed on the ground.

Lily: Guess she's talking to Angel before I arrive here, and now she's passed out. Oh Great!

Lily was trying to adjust herself from carrying Mia properly on her shoulder. At that time, she saw Amir holding tired Naim on his shoulder, and brought back to his tent as well. She tried to hold up her tears as she recalled on what happened to him, she controlled her emotions before she decided to just leave the forest for their own good.

Lily: I never thought things could end in this way, I feel like I made it worse than I can imagine.

Lily was holding Mia on her shoulder when she's unconscious, she's walking on the path to the exit when she felt something behind her. She looked back and found Angel standing alone, staring at her with soften eyes.

Angel smiled a bit at Lily, which made her heart to skip a beat from the responce. She smiled back at the ghost before leaving the area completely. The ghost once again disappeared into thin air, remained staying in the forest like she would, but never tried to hurt the boys in their tents anymore.

It's 7 in the morning, Lily was able to get back to the school with Mia last night before it's too late. She managed to regain her consciousness and soon made her sleep for a good peaceful rest. She was now sleeping on her bed peacefully, after encountering everything back in the forest last night.

Lily started to move her eyes when the sunshine shone to her face, she turned to the other side and looked at the time. She removed her blanket and adjusted her hair, she still felt sticky from her face a bit even after washing the whole red paint.

Lily: The class must have started by now.

With that said, Lily woke up from her bed and went to the washroom, to start up another day in the school. What she didn't know was the things coming to her for a few more hours.

Ayam: Uhhggg........why do I have to suffer like this? Allah.........

Ayam was leaning himself on the wall next to him, he's now in the clinic to get treated for his symptoms. He even puked on Fakhri's face when he woke up from his bed, but along with him, half of Form 4 students were having the same symptoms as him.

He even saw Naim sitting with the sick students, but he's completely fine, except for his injured hand which has been treated by a nurse who's wrapping his hand with a bandage. Mr. Sin entered at that time and looked at the sick students's pale faces.

Mr. Sin: I don't think it's going to end like this......

Nurse: Sir, this is beyond the clinic's treatment, they need to be admitted to the hospital immediately.

Mr. Sin nodded his head before leaving to arrange a vehicle to send the sick students to the hospital.

After a while, Lily finished freshing herself up after a period of time wandering around the forest last night, she was walking down the school area when she saw a student puking out at a huge drain. She looked away forcefully from the disgusting scenario before leaving there quickly.

When Lily was walking around the school, she spot some students were puking out without any control. She started to feel suspicious as something was not in the right track.

Lily: This is not good. I need to see Mr. Sin.

The nurse finished treating Naim's injured hand, he was thinking about the last night's incident, he can still remembered Lily's face in his own eyes. He can't get over with that moment, plus he didn't even see her for a few days ago. He stood up and grabbed his coat to leave, when Fakhri entered the clinic with some things on his hand.

They both stopped at their sides and looked at each other, they glared at each other for a while, before Naim leaving the clinic and Fakhri to sit next to Ayam.

Fakhri: Here, your wallet and IC.

Ayam was a bit confused as Fakhri was being fine even after drinking the juice last night, when the truth was he didn't even drink just a sip of it.

Ayam: Wait....how come you are being fine when others are suffering like hell?

Fakhri: It's all because of you...hah...forcing everyone to drink and drowning yourself into the juice like there's no tomorrow.

Just then, Lily walked by the clinic when she saw Ayam was being unwell, sitting next to Fakhri who's accompaning him. She stopped her track and stared at him, she can clearly tell that he's completely ill by something.

Fakhri looked up at outside when he saw Lily standing there, looking concerned at Ayam's condition. He straighten himself a bit from his seat and gasped.

Fakhri: Lily.......

Ayam: Lily?! Where is Lily?! Lily!!

Fakhri: Ayam, don't stress yourself!!

Lily marched toward Ayam and kneeled down next to him, checking his body condition.

Lily: Azam, what happened to you?

Ayam for a sudden opened his eyes and looked at Lily's worrying face, this was the first time he heard his real name been calling from someone, and that too from Lily. Fakhri sensed the gaze of him to her and looked away to somewhere, before pinching his left hand.

Ayam: Ahhh!!

Lily: Hey, what's the matter? Are you feeling any pain?

Ayam: I'm fine, I'm fine, just some disturbance next to me.

Fakhri glanced at Ayam before looking away, pouting a bit as Lily was not even caring about him. She checked on his condition, he was fine as always, but then she at the side, to see the sick students with their worse symptoms.

Lily: ( whispers ) How come Fakhri was doing great when everyone is suffering? 

Fakhri felt someone was staring at him for a long time, he glanced at Lily for a tiny second and realized she's staring at him. His face started to redden from the intense gaze she was giving to him.

Fakhri: .....Uh....uh....I didn't do anything to him.

Lily: I didn't even ask about that, why do you have to say that?

Fakhri: Ah.....don't talk to me.

Lily: Ok, I won't. Loser!

Fakhri: What?!!

Mr. Sin came back again to the clinic, and saw Lily along with the students.

Mr. Sin: Oh Lily, you're here.

Lily stood up and went next to Mr. Sin.

Lily: What happened to them, Mr. Sin?

Mr. Sin: As you can see, they are overdosed by something, so we have to take them to the hospital.

Lily: Hospital? Like half of them?

Mr. Sin: We have to Lily, their symptoms are getting worse.

Mr. Sin turned toward the sick students and announced something to them.

Mr. Sin: All right, the bus is here. Get up and queue properly, make sure you have your IC with you.

With that said, the unwell students got up from their seats and ready to go to the hospital. Fakhri helped Ayam to get up as he was struggling to even stand still.

Mr. Sin: Is anyone missing?

Out of the blue, Kahar rushed into the clinic, held a sick Hakeem on his back.

Kahar: Sir!! Sir!! Help him!! Help him!!

Lily saw Hakeem in the same condition as the ill students, Kahar was holding him tightly when Hakeem was forcing himself to fall down. He tried to vomit in front of Lily and Mr. Sin, hence they both stepped back from him a bit.

Fakhri and Ayam were staring at Kahar and Hakeem, they were a bit confused as to why he got ill all of a sudden. Lily was trying to collect herself up from the situation, but something grabbed her attention which was something she would never imagine.

A weird smell can be smelled by Lily, she tried not to show it in front of everyone. She looked around and sniffed, finding the exact area of that smell coming back. It was coming from Kahar's bag, she stared at the bag and looked back at his worried face.

Lily: ( whispers ) This smell is kind of familiar to me.........

Kahar caught Lily staring at his bag for a long time, he immediately clutched his bag on one hand and held Hakeem on another hand, avoiding her eyes on purpose.

Lily: This curly guy is hiding something from me again, I should find it out...........

Faniza was already in her class teaching as usual, she was writing something on the whiteboard when Kahar entered the class in a rush.

Faniza: Kahar, you're late!

Kahar: Sorry teacher......

Faniza: Ok, just hand in your homework.

Kahar put his bag on a desk and searched for his notebook, he was hesitating to take you when he found it. Faniza was standing next to him and raised her hand to receive the homework, he had no other choice but to take out the sticky notebook from his bag.

Faniza: Kahar, why is it sticky?

Kahar: It's....uh.....honey, madu teacher.

Faniza: Honey?

Kahar: Sorry.

Faniza: Thank god it's just honey, please take your seat.

Kahar immediately took a seat for himself, Faniza carefully put the sticky notebook on the desk to prevent the stickness attaching to herself.

Meanwhile, Lily went behind the canteen and stood there in a thought, Mia saw her arriving thus she followed her behind.

Mia: What's with the tension, Lily?

Lily turned back to face Mia and puffed in confusion.

Lily: This is getting out of our hands, Mia.

Mia: What do you mean?

Lily: Haven't you heard? Half of the Form 4 students are admitted to the hospital today.

Mia: Half of them? How?

Lily: I think they might be food poisoned or infected by something, I have no idea how.

Mia nodded her head when she realised something crucial.

Mia: Wait, what did you just say?

Lily: Say what?

Mia: About Form 4 students....

Lily: Yeah, half of the Form 4 students are......

Lily suddenly stopped her sentence when she realised something too.

Mia: Lily, why all of the students who are admitted today are Form 4s?

Lily: You're...you're right.......all of them are Form 4.........

With that said, Lily walked away from the area, leaving Mia behind.

Mia: Lily, wait for me!!
