Fakhri was walking here and there in his room after encountering with Lily, her words were still lingering through out his mind. He thought that she might be started to develop her feelings for him on the first day itself, he was getting crazy about that thought. Ayam entered the room and saw him being too nervous, he raised his eyebrows and touched his shoulder.

Ayam: Fakhri!

Fakhri: Ah, I'm not loving you!!!!

Ayam: Ah, why do you have to? What's up with you?

Fakhri: Oh, it's you.

Fakhri sighed out loud and sat on his bed, followed by Ayam on his bed too.

Ayam: Are you all right? You're being so weird now.

Fakhri: I...I.....I don't know what to do....

Ayam: Do what?

Fakhri: Didn't you see there? That girl wanted to meet me alone.

Ayam: So?

Fakhri: So?!! Don't you get it? She trying to propose to me!! At my first day here!!!

Ayam: Hahahahahahaha, since when did you become so silly?

Fakhri: Are you laughing out loud when I'm struggling here?

Ayam: Fakhri, are you being serious? You're not that handsome to let a girl approached you to meet her alone.

Fakhri: Then what else could it be?

Ayam: Who knows? It could be anything. Maybe she might be someone you knew.

Fakhri: I don't interact with people a lot.

Ayam: Well....maybe she might be misunderstood you as someone else.

Fakhri: Aaaaaaaaaaa, please help me dang it!!!!

Ayam: Relax man, it's not a big deal. You're being a man to anything but girls? You got to be kidding me.

Fakhri: It's just......I never interact with a woman other than my mother.

Ayam: Ok ok, if you want to sort it out, just go and talk to her. I bet it might be not that serious.

Fakhri: Ah ah, will you come with me Ayam?

Ayam: Uh, hello, she asked you to meet her alone, so no company. All the best to you.

Ayam smirked at Fakhri and left the room with a swag.

Fakhri: Oi, you chicken!!!

At the other side, Lily was standing outside her room waiting for Fakhri to appear.

Lily: Is he not coming? Or perhaps eloped to somewhere else? Where the heck is he?

Just then, Lily heard small sounds of footsteps behind her, she turned around and it's Fakhri standing there, like she expected to be. Just like at the canteen, that same nervousness can be seen in his face and his body language.

Fakhri: Come on Fakhri, you're a man, you can do this. ( murmures )

Lily: Oh, you're here. I thought you wouldn't show up.

Without their knowledge, someone was eavesdropping at their conversation, that one particular person was eager to know what were they going to talk about.

Amir: Naim, can you please calm down? You're gonna make us caught.

Naim: Shut up, I know what I'm doing.

Amir: Really? Eavesdropping at someone's conversation is all you know? That's the least thing you can do right now.

Naim: I'm going to punch you right now, so stop it.

Amir: But is this really necessary Naim? What's the point of doing this?

Naim looked at Amir for a while and tried to think of an answer for that question.

Naim: I don't know, but I just wanted to hear what are they going to talk about. Now keep quiet!!

Amir: Since when prefects become so eager to invade someone's privacy?

Ignoring the murmuring from Amir, Naim watched from their back without their notice and put his ear closer to listen to them.

Lily: Look, I know this is a bit weird to call you like this, but I have no other choice.

Lily took a step closer to Fakhri, which made his heart started to beat faster.

Lily: I think I have seen you somewhere........

Fakhri: Me?.....uh.......no you haven't....

Lily: I have, but I don't know where, but I just wanted to tell you something though.

Fakhri: Ya Allah, she's going to propose to me...... ( murmures )

Lily: I think I'm......I'm........

Fakhri: No Fakhri, say it.

Lily: I think.......I'm in.......

Fakhri: NOOOOO!!!! Don't tell you're in love with me, I know I'm looking handsome but that doesn't mean you can have me. Today is my first day here at school, so I wanted to study for my future. If you have any feelings for me though, please don't say I Love You to me, I will be so maluuuuu here.........

Fakhri said it all in one go, which made Lily to blink at him in confusion, Naim heard the word love from him and suddenly stepped harshly on Amir's feet to ease his anger.

Amir: Ouch, are you nuts?!

Naim: Shut up!!

Lily thought for a while and started to laugh out loud to his face, he squinted his eyes at her in confusion.

Fakhri: Why are you laughing? I'm not telling a joke, which is all gross.

Lily: Fakhri, are you perhaps crazy or what?

Fakhri: Me? Crazy? What for?

Lily: If you're thinking I called you to tell how much I Love You, you're wrong. Sorry for not reaching to your expectation.

Fakhri: Then....then....then why did call me? And you were trying to say like I think....I'm in....what........

Lily: I was trying to say I think I'm caught up by your familiar face, but you took it in the wrong way.

Fakhri closed his eyes and hissed for his silly behaviour, he looked away from her in embarrassment and hit on the back of his head.

Lily: Hahahahaha, I'm not a girl who would fall for someone who I just met, it's really hard to win me you know?

Fakhri: Yeah....right.....

Lily looked at Fakhri's face again, he avoided her gaze again and looked at somewhere else, that's when she had a lightbulb moment.

Lily: I got it!!!

Fakhri: What did you get?

Lily: Before that, I need to ask you something.

Fakhri: Love again?

Lily glared at Fakhri and charged toward him to slap on his cheek. He chuckled at her and surronded himself.

Fakhri: Ok ok, what do you want to ask?

Lily: Did you involve in any fight recently?

Fakhri: A fight? No...I don't......

Lily: Oh really? If you don't.......

Lily pulled out her handphone and searched for something, she then tilted the phone and showed it to Fakhri.

Lily: Then care to explain this?

Lily showed a video of Fakhri beating up 5 guys at the same time. A shock can be seen in his face and he glanced at you and the video for several times. That's the main reason why Lily felt familiar from his face back at the canteen, hence she asked him to meet her alone and talked about it.

Now for the very first time after his trauma, he felt scared. He scared of got caught by Lily, he fought with some guys outside and she had the proof of it.

Lily: No doubt, you're the one who beat them up.

Fakhri: Umm....I think it's not a big deal.......

Fakhri smiled sheepishly to Lily which she glared at him, he gulped and tried to come up with some words.

Lily: Of course it's a big deal, I'm telling this to the principle right now!!!

Lily was about to enter to the principle office when Fakhri quickly held her wrist.

Fakhri: Please!! Please don't tell this to the principle!!

Lily looked at her wrist which was held by Fakhri, he immediately retreated and stood still.

Lily: How can't I? You did a big mistake, I'm going to report it and that's it.

Fakhri tilted his head now in guilty, he thought she's going to understand his situation. Lily saw his expression changed and suddenly laughed out loud, which made him looked at her confused.

Lily: Hey, you think I'm going to report this silly thing to him? No way, it's not a big deal, like you said. Don't worry, I'm not going to report this.

Fakhri sighed in relief and placed his hand on his chest.

Fakhri: You scared me there.

Lily: Ah ha!! I got you!! Hahahaha!!

Lily was making fun of Fakhri which his face got reddened, he smiled sight way from her attitude and embarrassed at the same time.

Well, not to mention that one guy who's stomach was burning behind them.

Naim: If I was in her place, I would had reported it immediately.

Amir: You don't have to be her if you want to, you can report it by yourself, right?

Naim: I will, but I'm not going to let my parents down, so I'll pass from this.

Amir: Such a loser you are.

Naim: What did you say?!!

Amir: Nothing, you keep on listening.

Naim glared at Amir once again before getting closer to hear their conversation.

Lily: Well, I was quite impressed to the fact that you knocked off 5 guys at once, you're such a pro I guess.

Fakhri: Ah please stop, I'm not that pro.

Lily: But.......what did you do this for?

Fakhri: Umm...well....they talked bad about my father so I had to.........

Lily: What a jerk they are, I would had also show them a taste of my own medicine if they insulted my father.

Fakhri chuckled once again, not knowing the strange feeling crept inside his body.

Lily: But, for your own good, please don't try to involve in fights, fighting is not the solution for every problem. Otherwise, the only thing you will get is injuries.

Fakhri: ( smiles ) Thank you, I try not to.

Lily: Anyway, it's nice to meet you Fakhri.

Fakhri: Me too, and you.........

Fakhri pointed at Lily to know who she was, she hit her forehead to introduce herself to him.

Lily: Oh, silly me, I haven't introduce myself. I'm Lily, Puan Faniza's daughter, and I'm in charge to take care of this school.

Fakhri: Wait, you're Puan Faniza's daughter? The English teacher?

Lily: Ya, why do you ask?

Fakhri: No wonder you look so pretty.

Lily: Excuse me?

Fakhri: Uh...umm..nothing, just wanted to ask.

Lily: All right, I guess I'll see you later then.

Lily was about to retreat to her room when Fakhri called her again.

Fakhri: Lily!!

Lily: Yes Fakhri.

Fakhri: Do you mind....if I.....I...have your phone number? So we can....uh...you know....talk...or meet....or getting to know each other....or

Lily: Hahahaha, that's a lot of 'or' there, but wait for a sec.

Lily pulled out her phone and dialled a phone number, she pressed the call button and waited for the person to answer the call. Fakhri's phone suddenly rang in his pocket, he pulled it out and it showed an unknown number. He looked at her who had a smirk on her face.

Lily: That's my phone number, save it up. I got it from the principle office before you arrived, I hope we'll meet soon Fakhriiiiiiiiii.....

Lily smiled one last time before going inside to her room, Fakhri's face reddened even more, he turned around and smiled to himself, to think that she got his phone number by herself.

Fakhri: Such a naughty girl.

Fakhri shaked his head with a smile before leaving there with a joyful body language. Behind there, Naim sticked his head on the wall and pouted sadly, tapping it for so many times while looking at him leaving from the place.

Naim: Is he even better than me? I'm handsome after all.

Amir: Well, I guess that's a lie then.

Naim: You're going to get some nice kicks from me.

Amir: Well......save it up, cause you need it for Fakhri if he started to make his move.

Amir tried not to laugh from seeing Naim's angry face, he immediately left from there, leaving him all frustrated.

Naim: I need to make my move faster before he did.

But poor Naim, he wasn't aware that not only Fakhri was trying to make a move.

On the other side, Kahar was sitting on the bed with his friends Hakeem and Zahrin.

Hakeem: So, now that these new students have joined, are you going to make an announcement about our High Council to them?

Kahar: Or better, I'm going to make it tonight. Tell all the Form 4 batch to meet up at the assembly hall tonight.

Hakeem: I can guess there are some boys who are tough to fight with you, judging by their appearance.

Kahar: Like you?

Zahrin: Like this guy in this video?

Zahrin showed a video of Fakhri who was fighting with some boys when he was studying in a different school. It's the same video Lily had received in this early morning, or worse, it's like the whole Malaysia had seen this video before they did.

Hakeem: Who is this guy? He knocked down 5 guys at once? Wow, even Kahar can't knock down above 3 guys at least like that.

Kahar glared at Hakeem for saying such words that will make him hell.

Kahar: What did you say?

Hakeem: I mean...I mean....he might be the greatest competition for you.

Kahar looked back at Fakhri in the video and smirked evily.

Zahrin: And guess what? That same boy joined in our school today as a new Form 4 student.

Kahar stood up from the place and grinned widely.

Kahar: Great!!! This will be my greatest chance to fight someone like him!! We'll see about that tonight.

It was already evening, Lily was reading a book sincerely as she's bookworm, unlike the students in this school. Just then, Faniza entered to her room with her things on her hands.

Lily: Mom!!

Faniza: Hey sweetie, how are you doing?

Lily: I'm fine Mom, I'm just reading a book.

Faniza: What book is that? The Lord Of Flies?

Lily: Yes mom, I was quite interested about this book, it's amazing at the same time.

Faniza: But Lily, do you agree that all mankinds are capable of evil?

Lily: Why do you ask that Mom?

Faniza: I have no words to express how much I disagree to that statement I just said a few seconds ago, it's like something I couldn't believe that easily.

Lily closed her book and put it on her table, she dragged Faniza to sit on the bed, followed by her next to her.

Lily: Mom, do you think that everybody can be nice all the time?

Faniza: What do you mean?

Lily: Like take this as an example, a student sat for his exam, he tried many ways to study but he can't. But to pass his exam easily, he cheated it, like most of the student would do.

Faniza: That's a wrong thing to do Lily, you know how much I hate to cheat anyone.

Lily: Even though deep down they knew it was wrong, but they wanted to do it anyway to make it easier, and that too in a evil way.

On the other hand, Kahar entered the assembly hall with his friends, Hakeem, Zahrin and Ariz. He smirked to see all the Form 4 batch obeyed what he said, all of them were standing according how Kahar wanted to see.

Kahar: Welcome to the Kudrat, this is where you will experience the real meaning of hell.

Faniza: Oh come on Lily, that student who cheated for the exam should know what's right and wrong.

Lily: But Mom, it's not about the student did, it's about the reason he did that. To make things easily, sometimes they had to do some evil things, just like cheating. They don't care whether it's right or wrong.

Faniza: But how Lily? Isn't that a bad thing to live with?

Kahar: This is where you're going to be a true man by our organization, which is called.........HIGH COUNCIL!!

Lily: It is Mom, but the truth is......everyone is capable of being evil, me, you and even the children are.

Faniza: Then what are you trying to say, Lily?

Lily: You might disagree to that statement, but I don't. Because.....no one can be the same everytime.

Kahar: Dan aku Kahar, Kapla High Council!!!
