Beginning of School Arc

Mar 23, 2026

 16 Years Later

Jay (from outside):
"Johan! Wake up! You're going to be late for school!"

Johan:
"I'm coming! Good morning, Uncle Jay."

Jay:
"Where's your bag?"

Johan:
"It's on the table. Today is my first day, how can I be late?"

Jay:
"Don't be so relaxed. Eat your breakfast first."

Johan:
"I already finished. I'm leaving now."

Jay:
"Alright. Take care of yourself."

Outside the School

Johan (thinking):
"So this is St. Mary's School…"

"Let's see… where is my classroom?"

"Oh, there it is—Fashion Department."

Inside the Classroom

Johan:
"So this is my classroom…"

(He looks around and sits)

"This seat is empty. I'll sit here."

(Suddenly…)
Student:
"Hey! What do you think you're doing? That's my seat."

Johan:
"But no one was sitting here…"

Student:
 "I said it's mine."
"Don't you understand? "
"People like you sit at the back."

(Johan stays silent and moves)
Teacher Enters

Teacher:
"Good morning, students."

Students:
"Good morning, teacher."

Teacher:
"Since today is the first day, introduce yourselves. Start from the first row."

Student 1:
"My name is Tina. I'm 17 years old. My parents are businessmen, and I want to become a fashion designer."

Teacher:
"Good. Next."

Student 2:
"My name is Somi. I'm 16 years old."

Student 7:
"Myself Derek. I'm 17, and I want to become an MMA fighter."

Student 9:
"Myself Steve. I'm 16, and I will manage my father's company after graduation."

(Students whispering)

"She's so pretty…"
"He's rich…"
"Look at him…"

Johan's Turn

Johan:
"My name is Johan. I live with my uncle. He owns a convenience store."

"My dream… is to become a world-class designer."

After Class

Teacher:
"That's all for today. Classes will start properly from tomorrow."

(Johan sitting quietly)

Shub:
"Hey! You're Johan, right?"

Johan:
"Yes."
Shub:
"Nice to meet you. I'm Shub. Let's be friends."

Johan:
"Okay."

Shub (smiling):
"Since we're friends… can you bring lunch for me from the cafeteria?"

Johan:
"…You can go yourself."

Shub:
"Come on, we're friends now. Do me a favor."

Johan (after pause):
"…Fine."

After Johan Leaves

Shub:
"He actually agreed… what an idiot."

Zeek:
"Yeah. You really fooled him."

Shub:
"I'll just use him for now."

(They laugh)

Cafeteria Scene

Johan:
"One cheeseburger, please."

Worker:
"Wait a moment."

(Students talking nearby)

"Did you hear? There's a gang in school."

"Yeah… 'Challengers'."

"Sounds stupid, but the leader is dangerous."

Johan (thinking):
"A gang in school… I should stay away from them."

Worker:
"Johan, your order."

Johan:
"Thank you."

(Johan walking… suddenly bumps into someone)
