Laff's POV - 2 Days After Blaza's 'Disappearance'

As much as I was worried about Tbh getting close to Socks,

I figured a quick way to deal with him,

But still, I need to let it rest for this week.

Just acting normally,

I was just sitting, along with this little 'gang'.

Socks seems sad.

"Hey, Socks. You look down, what's wrong?"

I asked.

In which he responds,

"Oh don't worry. It's just...

Blaza... When I tried to call him, nothing."

He sighed.

"And when I asked his parents, they said they haven't seen him either,"

"They thought he might've stayed with us.. but it seems like he's missing.."

He leans on Meme's shoulder as he sighed again.

Tch.

They've noticed.

Not only that...

Memey...

That's what I'm worried about.

They're a lot more clingy aren't they?

It'll be hard to get rid of him without getting Sock's attention.

Hmmm...

Maybe...

The drama club has many masks and gloves...

I am already in it...

That could be useful.

"I'm just so worried.."

He continues.

"Wait really?! I thought he might've been sick!"

Nadwe shouts,

Ugh... So loud...

"Yeah, at first that's what I thought too..

Originally I just called him to see if I could visit him while..."

"But after checking with his parents, of course it's just not that..."

"Well did you guys at least tell the police or something?"

Tbh says, worried.

Don't worry Tbh..

He won't be alone....

I'll make sure you join him,

Sooner or later..

The bell rings soon enough after a good amount of chit chat,

And everyone heads to their class,

( As a side note,

Here's everyone's classrooms :)

Laff, Socks, Meme - 4A

Joocie, Muffin, Nadwe, Oof - 4B

(Previously) Blaza, Oompa, TBVG - 4C

Tbh, Dino, Woolf - 4D

And Ally is just an online friend to them :) )

---------------------------------------------------------

Through class,

Laff did nothing other than staring at Socks.

The only thing he did study,

Was biology.

I wonder why...?

---------------------------------------------------------

( - Lunchtime - )

As per usual,

Although now, I guess I could sit by them during lunchtime,

But still, I preferred to be alone.

Although I wouldn't be able to watch Socks as well this way,

They still don't sit anywhere out of sight thankfully.

So I still get a glimpse of what happens.

For some odd reason though,

Memey sat next to me today.

"Memey?"

I asked him.

I noticed a scar on his face,

Seemingly coming from an old bad bruise.

"Yeah, Laff?"

He replies as he eats his sandwich,

Lucky for me, he's not one of the people who talk with their mouths full.

"Why are you sitting here next to me and not with the rest?"

I asked.

Still very interesting...

What is his motive...

I wonder..?

"Oh, I don't really know. I just wanted to sit next to you today. Is something wrong?"

He asked,

Turning his head over at me.

"Sorry, Didn't mean to sound rude."

I apologized.

Perhaps if I can't get rid of him without getting Sock's attention,

I could be nice,

And maybe he'll respect it.

As he eats,

I still just kept thinking about that scar..

But until he was done eating,

I didn't say a word.

"Memey, may I ask..."

"Why do you have that scar on your face? As in, how did you get it? If you're comfortable with telling, of course."

I asked him.

"I got it...

From someone back in second grade, I think..?"

He replies,

Second grade...

(I'm Malaysian so don't mind me if I get this wrong but they should be 7 in 2nd grade right? Cuz i mean for me i use standard 1/ Darjah 1)

"Oh?"

"Yeah... Me and Socks have been friends for a while, and I think this one person was obsessed with him.."

"And then one day he went to far and,

I think he just got to the point of beating me in a playground."

"But of course Socks defended me.

Also, Laff, since were friends,

No need to be so formal, y'know."

Now I know why he seemed so familiar to me after a while of talking...

As a child,

Laff was very expression-less.

Nothing would make him happy..

Until one day,

He saw another adorable boy in his class.

A nice, cute, brown haired white boy.

Even without talking,

Just seeing him,

made Laff happy..

He was obsessed.

He tried to follow him all around until..

One day,

The boy's friend,

A black haired boy with freckles on his face...

Stepped in to tell Laff to go away while he and the boy were hanging out.

That,

Obviously,

Hurt Laff.

Deeply.

Immediately,

He hated the black haired boy.

Anytime Laff was simply looking at the beautiful fellow,

The black hair did anything to get his attention away from Laff.

From that day onwards,

Laff considered him an enemy.

As an example,

One day,

While Laff was simply tasked to give the black hair a note from his teacher,

The second Laff saw him with the adorable boy,

He got angry.

They were just hugging eachother,

Yet,

That made Laff extremely mad.

He immediately crumpled up the note into a paper ball and threw it at the black hair.

Running away.

He was really upset that this 'random' kid was closer to the beautiful boy,

Closer than Laff was to him.

It made little Laff jealous.

"Daddy. What do I dooo?"

Laff cried out as his father hugged him.

"Don't worry Laff. It's fine, you can just be with him when the other boy isn't around."

Laff's father pat his child's back as he attempted to comfort Laff with the matter.

And not too long,

Laff's mother barged in.

And seemingly,

She heard everything.

"Laff... If you really love that boy,

Then don't be so afraid to fight."

She said,

With a cold face.

Immediately, Laff's father got angry at her.

While they were arguing,

Laff ran to his room,

He thought about it for a while.

And,

He decided,

If that really was the only way to get the cute boy's attention,

Then he shall do whatever he needed to do.

Immediately,

The next day,

When Laff was back in school,

He immediately asked the black haired boy to meet by the swings at the playground during recess.

Although annoyed,

The black haired boy gladly accepted.

And as soon as Laff's biggest enemy arrived,

He took a deep breath and got ready.

As the boy stared at him waiting for Laff to say something.

Immediately, he was instead met with a strong punch to the face.

While the boy Laff loved was not around,

He kept beating up his friend.

Punching and kneeling his face,

Rubbing his face into mud,

Other than the presence of the beautiful boy,

This was the only other thing that made him happy.

Violence.

And not too long after some other kids tried to stop Laff, only to be beaten up as well,

A teacher arrived,

With the boy by their side,

"Monster!"

There was tons of screaming,

But only hearing that come out from the boy's mouth broke his heart.

'Monster'.

That's what Laff was.

A cruel child.

---------------------------------------------------------

Meme's POV -

"Oh, I feel sorry for you then, Memey."

Laff replied,

"Oh, well, don't worry about it man. It happened a long time ago I'm not too bothered by it anymore.

But I mean it does still look a bit ugly."

I said in return, while chuckling a bit.

And he replies,

"Why don't you get surgery, then?"

I was absolutely stunned.

What did he just say?

"What's that supposed to mean?!"

I ask.

But he didn't respond,

Instead he stared at me coldly, emotion-less.

---------------------------------------------------------

As this happened 6 years ago,

Laff doesn't remember all too well.

But still.

One night,

As Laff was out with his parents,

Just driving back home from a nice dinner,

They got into a cat crash.

Luckily, his parents were not too injured.

However..

Laff's face was absolutely wrecked, as well as his chubby body.

Thankfully he was still alive,

But due to that crash,

His image was completely ruined.

People didn't want to be near him in the first place due to the lack of expression,

But now it was even worse.

It got to a point Laff was begging and crying to his father,

When both his parents had to make the hard choice of going for plastic surgery.

All to make him at least a bit happier with himself.
