3:50 P.M.

Helbram's confined in the clinic and later woke up.

“Whe – where am I??!"

Just then,

“Oh. You're finally awake! What a relief!”

-he's greeted by the school Nurse.

“Wha – what happened?” He asks. “Why am I in– umm… Clinic?”

The Nurse smiled. “Oh? If you’re so eager to know, here’s a report. Here and have a look.”

Helbram and the Nurse exchanged look.

“Well, want me to read it for you?”

Helbram nods.

*clears throat* "According to the witnesses, you, Mr. Wilheim is heading towards downstairs, eerily. Some warns you but the report says, you didn't listen. Boys came to stop you but— they said, you, Mr. Wilheim, shows you're possessed."

This made Helbram gasped.

"Both claims are proven true, thanks to the CCTV footage."

Helbram massages his eyebrow.

“I see, I lead my own doing. Great, Helbram.” he rants on his thoughts.

“Ma'am, I’m sorry for causing trouble. This kid’s poor sleeping habit finally kicks in.”

The school nurse smiles. “Apology accepted, but next time, learn to take some rest.”

Helbram nods.

The nurse is making her leave but paused midway. "By the way, don't forget to logout, okay?" Helbram nods and the nurse made her leave. The boy looks around and looked at the clock beside him, it says 4:10 P.M. 

“Oh no! My afternoon classes!” He sighs. “Shucks! I skipped all 3 afternoon subjects. *sigh* Great!”

Helbram looks disappointed and start making his leave. He wore the provided sandals and left. He saw the computer and swipe his ID to logout. Now, he heads back to the Locker to grab his belongings.

At the building's exit, he saw students lining up in logout system, so he follows.

Outside the Senior High Building....

Helbram headed to the school plaza and wait for Rose. He saw some benches and take his seat. He looked at his wristwatch and it says 5:15 P.M.

“Rose said the longest stall time is 30 minutes." *stomach growling* "I also forgot I skipped lunch!"

So, he took his bag and rummage, there, he found his lunchbox and the boy is pleased.

"Praise the Deities! Bon appetit!" So, Helbram took this moment eating his lunch.

Back at Senior High Building Interiors....

Rose is heading towards the comfort room, and washes her hands. Just then, she remembered that Helbram noticed a slight change on her so, she giggles and took her make-up set out of her bag. Just then, a picture of her family slips through. There, it shows a woman, resembling Rose, in it. Surprisingly, this girl has a boy-cut hairstyle. She picked it up and looked at the mirror. She tugs her long, gorgeous hair and a memory of old plays…

2 years ago…

At the Airport, her parents bid farewell to her big brother.  Her big brother noticed that she hasn't trimmed her hair.

It’s length is below the shoulder. 

“Oh, you didn’t trim your hair? That's odd.” He asks and Rose gone worried.

“I forgot to go to the Hair Salon to trim my hair because I was invited by Helbram's 15th birthday party last month.” She tugs her hair, shyly.

Rose’s big bro rubs his chin and notice how her lil sister's face shows bliss.

“I see. Well, good thing you forgot!” He smiled. "Did Helbram noticed your hairdo?"

Rose’s surprised and felt shy.

"Ye— yeah and he... He even strokes my hair as he complimented me."

She's swirling her hair and look away, embarrassed.

"Well, I'm glad Helbram invited you though. Perhaps you enjoyed so much that you forgot about it. Heh! My tomboyish sistah finally reached ladyhood! I, your big bro, is beyond pleased!"

 Rose flinched and blushed. "No! I’m no Tomboy! I swear!”

“Not a tomboy, heh!?  A lesbian then?” He gives a cunning look and Rose panicked.

“I’m not a Lesbian nor a Tomboy, big brother! I just- *paused* Never mind, all you gotta remember, it’s for hygiene purposes.”

“Surely, Helbram successfully turned you into a woman. Heh! That boy, not gonna lie, he’s got looks! No wonder you start behaving like a woman.” He teases her and she took the bait.

“I... I didn't! Helbram and I were fierce Rival!"

"Whatever, lil sis."

A sudden silence passes by.

“Ever since you had that boy-cut hairstyle, I always see that gloomy face. As if, you are forced.” He said. “How about this, don’t trim your hair starting today?” He pats her head.

“Tomboy, Lesbian, or whatever gender you assumed you are, I kinda missed that joyful look and hair flexing though. Trim your hair whichever length you prefer aside boy cut, geddit? I'm sure Helbram felt the same. Will you do that, Rose?”

Rosemary felt happy. “I will, big brother!”

Flashback ends…

After reminiscing her hair memories, Rose applies light make-up.

"I gotta make haste! I've made him wait too long."

As she peacefully applies make-up,

“Well, well, well? What do we have here?"

A tomboyish voice rings in Rose ears.

"That voice!"

When she turned, she saw bunch of girls around her.

"The Punk Queen and her lackeys!"

Punk Queen has a waist-long hair tied in ponytail, its color is dark brown whose ends has hue of bronze. Sides of her hair is shaved fade, has a sky-blue eyes, freckles, pale skinned, and black lipstick and eyeshadow. She’s in GAS Strand that stands for General Academic Strand.

She waved her hand and her lackeys starts pinning her down.

"It seems we're blessed by Celestial Planes."

Her pale hand glides onto Rose's cheeks and lift her chin up.

"It's my beautiful lesbian partner, the SSC President! Hello there, my love?” the Punk Queen draws her lips closer but Rose turn her head away.

The Punk Queen smiled and proceeds stroking Rose's longish hair.

“You sure grown your hair well lately. For whom? *rubbing chin* Oh? That nerd?”

Rose struggled but pinned tightly.

“Oh my fellow Lesbian partner, Rose my dearest. Don't forget we've made a deal."

The Punk Queen pulled her hair and Rose is in pain.

"Your hair's length is limited to Boy cut, and that's the deal." She then hushed on Rose's ear. "All is well not until you and that nerd blends in the same room in Senior High."

"Hmmm! Feminine perfume. Nice! Nice!” And Rose’s eyes are forming tears. “Since then, you start growing your hair, and act more lady-like."

Rose glares at her. "What are you talking about?! It was you who dishonored our deal!” She said. “You meddle with Helbram, the very sole purpose why I agreed in the first place!" *grits* “I followed your orders; Cut my hair, and act like you! It sickens me to the core but I’m different from you! You deal breaker!”

The Punk Queen sneered at her.

"You— threatened him to do your assignments, projects, and mostly everything!"

In Rose memories, she witnessed that they're threatening Helbram and hand out their assignments. Helbram shows signs of disagreement but they hurt him.

"Breaking the deal, we had!”

Punk Queen’s lackeys are silenced.

“Why are you picking on him? What did he do to you people?!"

Punk Queen’s surprised on Rose rebellion.

"Ya hear that, boss Stella? SSC Pres. put up quite a show!" Lackey(1) teases.

“Rose legit likes him!  *laugh* Probably they already went to this intimate thing in secret!" Lackey(2) added.

"Let’s show her who’s the boss, Ms. Ferros!” Lackey(3) demands.

Their ragebait is successful, Stella, the Punk Queen is angered.

The Punk Queen’s full name is ‘Stella L. Ferros’.

“Shut your shitty mouths, deadweights! Also, didn’t I told you not to call me by my first name?! Didn't the two of you understand?!” She yells. "I hate people who don't listen what they're told to! If you do that again, I'll beat the shit out of you, you fuckers!" She scolds them.

"Yes, boss Ferros!"

Stella's all angry. "I hope I made myself clear... you F*****NG shits!"

She then directed her attention to Rose, grabbed her chin,

“As for you Rose," she grabbed Rose’s head, draws closer, but the hapless woman fights back by turning her head away from her.

Stella felt insulted and slapped her! Then go behind her, grabbing her hair.

"Our deal only states not beating that nerd up!"

"And the way you defended him?"

She motioned her hand and one of her lackeys’ hand over a pair of scissors. Stella showcased how sharp they are and let it glide her terrified cheeks.

"Sickens me."

She signals her lackeys and starts putting cloth on Rose's mouth.

"Restrain her, everyone! This will be so much fun!"

Stella starts trimming Rose's beautiful hair.

"Don't try to move or I'll make you bald! Do you want that? Your f*****g boyfriend's gonna hate you for that, me included!"

Rose screamed and cried but none can hear her. The Campus is little-to-empty students and the Utility staffs will arrive 5:30P.M.

They violated her, shamed her, and even treated her lowly but in Rose's mind, all she could think off is be on time meeting Helbram.

Later....

Once they're done,

“Our job here is done, everyone. I hope you learned your lesson, Rose.”

Stella and her lackeys left the room, leaving only the poor girl, gathering her trimmed hair and destroyed make-up inside her bag.

At the Corridor....

Stella and her lackeys are on their way home but one of her girls secretly begs.

“Boss Ferros—?"

"Yes?"

Lackey(3) draws closer. "Do you have some— Umm… spare cash? My good-for-nothing sad excuse of a parents been a bunch of lazy-*ss f****rs and—”

Stella pats her shoulders. “Speak no further, I understand."

The rest are observing Stella taking out her wallet and gave 3 thousand bills.

"Take this and buy your f****g needs."

Lackey(3) looks glad but the rest of the gang came rushing.

"Boss, please give me some to buy meds!" Lackey(5) demands.

And so is the rest, Stella hesitates but since they helped her today, she's left without a choice but bid their bidding.

"Alright! Buckle up folks! Here's 3 thousand bill each!"

"Thank you, boss!"

Later....

Stella's wallet is empty. She checks on her pocket and there's still a spare money left.

"Alright, alright! It's getting late! See ya tomorrow!"

"Byebye boss!"

"I should meet up with them too."

 Stella made her leave and her lackeys starts talking behind her back.

"Hey, let's drop at the Arcade Center and Play!" Lackey(2) lowered her voice.

"Sure, sure! We hit jackpot this afternoon!"

Stella is heading towards upstairs, looking at her wallet.

“This month’s allowance is dried out. I gotta—”

Just then,

"Yo! Ferros is here!"

She stumbled 3 men hanging around in staircase. One of them has a gray hair with a noticeable claw birthmark on his left eye, wearing eyeglasses.

"It's you— guys!" She seemed surprised.

“You're late as always, Ferros!” The other dude playing with his psp stopped and a gray-haired guy, leaning on the stair and reading his Sacred book, caught their attention.

“We've been waiting for for an hour, Ferros!” Gamer guy stopped playing.

“Hey four-eyes! Ferros here man! Stop reading for a second!”

Stella felt tense.

"Now that she's here, it's time to go at the restobar!" Gamer said and the other agreed.

"Oh shoot! I forgot it's today! Darn it!" Stella in a pinch and the Gray-haired man noticed.

"I heard a pretty great and well-known restobar nearby! Worth checking out, I must say!" The other dude said.

"Ha! It is indeed!" The gamer dude agrees. "Yo, Silver! You've been quiet all day long! Say something man!"

It seems this Gray-haired boy is named Silver, Silver B. Chrome.

Silver noticed that Stella's a bit in a pinch. "Let's continue our band's rehearsal for the Upcoming Cultural Fest next month. It's still early to celebrate when victory is not at hand."

His peers lost motivation.

“Man, you’re no fun.”

Silver approaches her. “You, Stella, should start rehearsing too. You are our lead singer and I don’t want you to flop. Now, refrain your useless punky activities and get on with it.”

Stella shrugs. “Well, you’re a boss.”

And so, they left.
