The next morning Anne woke up earlier than usual, she was seen busy in the kitchen to make breakfast which she would bring to campus. Since knowing Linda at the campus, Anne always made 2 portions of food for herself and Linda. At first, Anne was hesitant to bring the food and give it to Linda. She was afraid that the food she made did not suit Linda's taste. Anne finally decided to pack two meals before going to the campus every day after she witnessed Linda ate the food she made deliciously.

This morning, Anne made a sandwich filled with few slices of avocado and slices of bacon. After all the food she made was finished, Anne packed it into her lunchbox and went to the shower to get ready to go to campus. It was still 6:30 a.m. when she was about to enter the bathroom. She usually took a shower at 7 a.m but this morning she was so excited to go to campus somehow. ​​

"Cheer up, Anne!" said Anne quietly when she was in the car ready to go to campus.

Because it was still very early in the morning, the street was still empty and quiet. The traffic was very slow so it did not take Anne long to get to campus. Even at the campus, she was the first driver who arrived at the parking area. She decided to wait for Linda as she usually did every time she arrived at the campus. She usually waited for the girl while playing with her phone. Linda appeared in the parking area 30 minutes later while running around bringing her books and other school supplies.

"Oh, Anne, seeing you driving around like that, it makes me want to buy a car too," said Linda hurriedly when she got into Anne's unlocked car.

"Why do you want to buy a car? Haven't you always preferred to take public transportation?" asked Anne curiously as she handed a bottle of mineral water to Linda which she immediately accepted.

"I'm not sure. I feel like the public transportation is getting uncomfortable and crowded day by day, it feels like I can barely breathe every time I hustle in with other passengers," Linda replied quickly after gulping down the water given by Anne.

"Instead of buying a car, we better live close to each other. There is a vacant apartment near mine. I think you better move there, so we can go and return to the campus together," said Anne with a smile as she suddenly remembered the billboard near her apartment displaying information about the vacant room.

Linda paused for a while, she looked like she was thinking of something after Anne said there was a vacant apartment near her residence.

"For now I am still very comfortable with my current apartment, Anne. I find it hard to move out. But don't worry, I will move out right away once I feel like I'm ready to do so. And I will definitely consider your advice to move near you," said Linda fast.

"Well, it's your decision, I won't force you," answered Anne with a smile.

Not long after, they both ate the sandwiches that Anne had made earlier in the apartment. Linda, who had never had breakfast in her apartment, looked very hungry when she ate the sandwiches made by Anne. They both enjoyed the sandwiches while watching other students arriving one by one. After finishing the food made by Anne, they both finally got out of the car and walked together to the class happily.

As Anne and Linda walked toward the classroom, Edward and his men were seen walking behind them. They had been watching the two girls as they got out of the car. Edward smiled when he saw Anne's large luggage, he then gave a code to his subordinates to do the task he gave to his men earlier.

Shortly thereafter, Anne screamed because she was shocked when her bag was hit by Edward's men when she walked beside the pool. It suddenly made all of Anne's belongings in the bag fell into the pool. Seeing the results of her hard work over the past few days were fallen into the water in front of Anne's eyes, she was silent without speaking a single word. The various raw designs she made for individual assignments given by the lecturer were instantly destroyed.

"Hey! Watch out where you are going, why do you have to run around like that? This is not a football field," Linda shouted loudly cursing at one of Edward's men who was standing still beside them, he folded his arms across his chest while looking at both of them without guilt.

"Look at what you have done! All of Anne's assignments are ruined because of you," added Linda angrily when she saw the papers designed by Anne were fallen into the water.

"This is not my friend's fault, this is your fault because both of you were walking hand in hand like that in such narrow footpath. After all, this is a public street so you two can't blame my friend if he accidentally bumps into your friend," Edward's voice was heard from behind where he was seen walking arrogantly towards where Anne and Linda were.

Linda immediately looked back as she heard Edward's voice, Anne also did the same but without any readable expression.

"Why, miss? Are you going to be angry at me?" asked Edward slowly, who stopped right in front of Anne.

Instead of answering Edward's provocative question, Anne closed her eyes slowly as she took a deep breath without opening her tightly closed mouth. Shortly thereafter, she wanted to open her eyes and smile slightly at Edward, but then she bent down to grab some books that had not fallen into the pool so that she could save them and reorganize it before putting them in the bag. In the end, Anne's books were saved and kept in her bag, Anne then got up and looked at Linda with a smile.

"Are you alright, Anne?" Linda asked quietly.

"Yes," answered Anne shortly.

"Let's go to the class…"

"I better go home now, it's useless if I attend the class since all my assignments are ruined now," said Anne quietly cutting Linda's words.

"But Anne ..."

"It's okay, Linda. See you tomorrow," said Anne quickly, after that Anne left Linda who was still standing near Edward and some of his men without looking back.

Linda then went straight to the class after swearing at Edward and his men. Edward usually laughed full of satisfaction when he had succeeded in bullying students on his campus. While seeing Anne arrived at the parking area, for some reason he actually felt sick when he saw Anne leave him without any expression like that.

"Why don't you get mad at me, Anne? I hate seeing your attitude," Edward said to himself, staring at Anne's car leaving the campus area.
