10:18 AM, Class 2-C
John's POV
"Because the angle is rotating around and around the circle... the Sine, Cosine and Tangent functions repeat once every full rotation"
The maths teacher was teaching about trigonometry. I'm sure that she's doing a good job teaching it, but it's just not compatible with my brain regardless of what I do
Students around me are less talkative than usual... Probably because I'm present. But I couldn't care less anymore
"John... Please report to the main office"
Suddenly out of nowhere I got called out... Yet again. I heard whispers across the tables
"Do you think he brutalized another student?" I turned over and gave them a glance
The student flinched just from my plain glance

Infirmary
Keene's POV
"So Darren... How's the situation with your girlfriend? You guys made up?" I asked while eating an apple as usual
"Actually.... Yeah, we did"
"Wait, really? I thought for sure that you would get dumped though..."
"You want me to get dumped?" Asked Darren irritated
"Aww come on... that's not what I said. I'm happy for you, really! But do you know why she ignored you at least?"
"Yeah... Turns out that she just had some problems going on"
"You want to tell me about it?"
"...... I'd rather not"
Hmm... Darren seemed really serious about it, which actually makes me more curious. But no, I'm not about to meddle in their business
"Well I gotta go, have some more work to do----" I stood up from the chair but...
Suddenly I felt something odd. It's the same feeling when someone strong and unidentified outside of school steps foot in here
"Anyone we should be worried about again, Keene?" Asked Darren
"This one seems pretty strong... I'm gonna go greet them and ask what their business here is"

Front gate
Who is this lady? This might be the strongest person to ever step in this school besides the students and the staffs
"Good morning. I'm part of security here at Wellston. May I ask what business you have here today?"
"Oh hello there... I'm just here to meet someone called Darren. Is he here right now?"
Darren? W-wait don't tell me that this beautiful lady is his girlfriend?!
"Excuse me but... Are you by any chance his girlfriend?"
"Oh, yes..."
That lucky bastard! How did he manage to pull this off with that gloomy face he always have! And he wasn't kidding when he said that her looks is an eleven...
"Well in that case... Do you want me to guide you there?"
"Uhm n-no... I'd like to go there by myself if that's possible"

School Hallways
Leilah's POV
Luckily for me... The classes were still ongoing because I'd hate to get any more attention.
So Seraphina goes to this school... I'm not ready to meet her yet though. What would she think of me?
And what would our mother think of us? The very same daughter that she calls a failure, making the other daughter powerless
It's not like I care about mother... It's just that I don't want Sera to be looked as a failure as well
.....
Suddenly while I was spacing out walking through the lonely hallways... I bumped into a raven-haired boy.
We didn't say anything, except giving each other the cold glance, just to continue on our own paths like nothing just happened
So the students are still rude... Well it's not like I expected anything better these days anyway
Where is this infirmary anyway? Maybe I should've just let that security guide me...

*creak*
"Doc can you treat my injuries?"
Darren was sipping on his coffee while reading over some papers not noticing me at first
"*sigh* another day... another injured stude---" His eyes widen, realizing who it was standing in front of him
"L-Leilah?"
"Fancy seeing you again..."

John's POV
Who was that woman?.... Argh why should I even care. I should be worried about why I got called out again
*creak* "Headmaster... You called for me?"
"Yes John... Please sit down"
What's up with this atmosphere? I mean it's only me and the Headmaster present, but something is bugging me
"John... I'm sure you know that Sera got herself suspended for a month for reading Unordinary. She got suspended even though she made it clear that she didn't agree to the books ideals"
"Y-yes"
Where is he going with this? Is he saying that I'm about to get suspended as well?
"I'm sorry to inform you this, but I'm afraid that you're going to be suspended for one month as well"
"W-what?! You can't do that!"
"I tried to avoid this situation... I managed to get the authorities to avoid you going to the readjustments classes again... But one month suspension is the least I can do"
"B-But---"
"Keene will help you pack your stuff. You're dismissed"
Just like that, I'm suspended?! What the hell? But what about Sera? How will she get through this when I'm gone?

2 hours later...
Sera's POV
John called for me at the front gate at lunch break... What's up with that?
"John? What's going on with these bags?"
He had an irritated face on him... Which isn't surprising to me anymore. But this time felt a bit different
"Sera... I got suspended, just like you did that time"
"So you too huh?"
"You don't seem to be affected by it that much..."
"Well I actually kinda expected this... But not this soon"
Suddenly John held my shoulders like he did that time that I got suspended
"Sera... If anyone hurt you, just tell me" John seemed really worried about me
"John... You don't need to babysit me. I'll handle it"
I said it with a somewhat of a fake smile. Since I know what horrors are going to come to me once he's gone.
And I'm sure John knows that my smile were fake as well
"Well... see you in a month"
John went further and further from the school to point where my bare eyes couldn't see him anymore. He looked back at me as if it's some sort of reassurement or something
I remember what I said to John before leaving Wellston from the suspension
"This will be the last we hear about Unordinary... When I return after a month, everything will return to normal"
How wrong I was...
