Episode 24: Fresh Start?

Adam looked at Glory High School. He thought he would never return to this place. So many unforgettable memories will arise once he stepped in. Then he heard a door car was slammed behind him. He looked and saw...

Adam: Brooke? You're early.

Brooke: I know. I have to. I'm only going to be here for 10 mintues. Then I'm off to school. Where's Molly?

Adam: Probably sleeping. She looked exhausted.

Brooke: Oh, she must be that tired huh? Anyway, before we go in, let me remind you that we are here only to finish everything you've started before. If they add some more duties, say NO. Okay?

Adam: Understood.

As they were about to walk in the school, Glory's Student Body was waiting for them.

Adam: Don't look now but I think the whole school is here.

When they reached the door, it was opened by two guards. Glory High School is a private school. It's a place where only rich,famous and talented students can enter. Glory High School is a well-known school as one of the best school in the nation. They score academically and in sports as well. To them, winning is everything.

Emma: Good morning Adam. Glad to have you back!

Emma tried to kiss Adam on his cheek but he avoided it.

Jason: Welcome back Bro! Look, all of the Warriors are here!

Warriors: Welcome back Adam!

All of Glory High School was there to welcome Adam back to Glory High School. Even the Headmaster was there.

Mr Ritricky: Welcome back young Lechrin! Let us go to the Meeting Room and go through the documents that need your signature.

Brooke: Hold on Sir. Mr Lechrin is not here to sign any documents nor papers. First thing first, let's take a look on Mr Lechrin's duties.

Mr Ritricky: Oh yes. We can always save the documens for later. I'm convinced Mr Lechrin is will sign them sooner or later. Okay, right this way.

The school cheered.

Students: Our hero is back! Cheers! Hip-hip!

Glory High School: Hooray!

And the cheered continue on until Adam and the others went into the Meeting Room. The secretary, Mrs Johnson was there too. She was standing in the corner of the room. All took their seats. Brooke sat right next to Adam while the Student Body sat opposite of them. Mr Ritricky on the other hand sat at the end of the long wooden table.

Mr Ritricky: Here's a document of your duties Mr Lechrin.

He passed the half-inched paper to Adam. The other copy to Brooke. Adam and Brooke went through lines by lines.

Mr Ritricky: We don't want to leave things hanging, so that my friend is the specific duties that you have to carry out, Mr Lechrin.

Brooke: Good God! Is this a list of duties or a business agreement?

Mr Ritricky: Just to be cautious.

Brooke: If that's so. Then, the same goes for us.

Brooked put her black briefcase and put it on the table. She unlocked it and retrieved some documents. Turned out, it was even thicker.

Mr Ritcriky: If you don't mind me asking. What is that?

Brooke: Nothing. Just safety precautions. Mr Lechrin did tell me the responsibilities he held during his year in this school and I have confirmed with your secretary, Mrs Johnson that these conditions go fit with your school's regulations. Nothing to be worried about. Just like I said, it's safety precautions.

Jason: Are you kidding me? Couldn't you make it more hicker? Or even at the size of a turkey sandwich?

Brooke: We'll play around by your conditions if you abide ours.

Mr Ritricky started to sweat. He thought by all those rules he could keep Adam in his school and cheat out of their bargain but he was wrong. He almost choked. He looked at the Student Body nervously. He then knew he couldn't underestimate Brooke's knowledge.

Mr Ritricky: Okay then. What if I make it thinner?

Brooke: This will only go away if yours are too.

Mr Ritricky: Okay, I surrender! But there ought to be some rules right?

Brooke: I only go by three rules and I expect you to abide it as well. Firstly; Mr Lechrin is only here to carry our his duties as the way he left them behind. Meaning, there is no addition duties nor responsibilities for him. Second; Both schools,Glory and Perspire, are not allowed to persuade, blackmail nor force Mr Lechrin to join their school. Lastly; both schools, Glory and Perspire would agree to Mr Lechrin's decision and would not question his decision. If any of the rules is broken then at that moment of time this agreement is off and Mr Lechrin will continue his studies without any disturbance nor objections form any parties of the school of his choice. Agree?

Mr Ritricky thought for a moment. He had to abide by those rules. Glory needs Mr Lechrin right now.

Mr Ritricky: I agree.

Brooke shook hand with Mr Ritricky.

Brooke: Oh my! It's getting late. I need to return to school. Walk me out will you Mr Lechrin?

Adam nodded and guided Brooke her way out of the school. She could have got lost in the big school. Luckily Adam still know his way around the school. Then, they came to the car.

Adam: Here we are.

Brooke: Hey, if they broke any of those rules then just give me a call will you? I'll come as quick as I can. They're going to give you a hard time, I know it. But, strive Adam Lechrin. Survive.

Adam: Hey, thanks. You know, for all of this.

Adam reached out his hand to Brooke.

Brooke: Your welcome. But, Molly is actually behind all of this. She's the Master Mind. You should thank her too.

And she shook Adam's hand.

Adam: Okay. And, take care of Melissa for me will you? Thanks.

Brooke: Will do! By the way, you look handsome today.

Adam closed the door and waved as the black car rode by Brooke drove away. In his Glory uniform of white and blue, he walked towards the school. Emma and Jason was waiting for him.

Jason: I know this is unfair but let's start new. Shall we?

Emma: Is this a fresh start then?

Adam: Yeah. It's a fresh start.

Jason hugged Adam in joy. He walked Adam to their class. It was just like the old days. Emma was behind them. She looked at Adam from behind and smiled. This is her chance to have a fresh start with Adam. Only this time, she will not screw it up nor let him go.

Episode 23: Melissa

Adam ran his way to Molly's house. He wanted to see Molly before he starts his day at Glory High School tomorrow.

He arrived at Molly's front gate with hard pantings. He was out of breath. Luckily the night was still young. He rang the bell. The security guard answered it.

Guard: Oh, Mr.Lechrin. Do come in. Miss Brandon is inside.

The Guard opened the gate for Adam and along the way came Mrs Spudinski to lead him the way.

Mrs Spudinski: This way please. Glad to see you again. Molly is upstairs.

Adam was making his way to Molly's bedroom but was stopped when he sensed something was wrong.

Adam: Are you alright Mrs Spudinski? You look rather worried.

Mrs Spudinski: It's Miss Brandon. She looks tired. She looks pale when she got home from school today. Please take good care of her.

Adam: I will.

Hearing the words that came out of Mrs Spudinski's mouth made Adam worried. He fastened his footsteps and by the time he arrived at Molly's bedroom, he stopped running.

He looked at the poor Molly. He walked slowly, not to awake her. She was lying in her bed with her comforter. Her face looked hectic. Pain was all over her face. He pulled a chair and sat beside Molly's bed.

Adam: You must be tired.

Suddenly, Molly opened her eyes and was delighted to see Adam.

Molly: Hey.

Adam: Oh, sorry to wake you up.

Molly: It's okay. I couldn't sleep anyway.

Adam took Molly's hand. He held it closely.

Adam: Thank you Molly.

Molly: For what?

Adam: I know what you did.

Molly: Brooke told you about it?

Adam: You couldn't hide it from me even if you wanted to Melissa.

Molly: What's up calling my full name like that?

Adam: Nothing. Just wanted to try it for once. Why? You don't like it?

Molly: No. It feels weird. Coz all these time people have been calling me 'Molly' and I forgot what it's like to hear it.

Adam: Really? So, when was the last time you were called by that name?

Molly: When I had a chubby cheek. My parents used to call me like that. Before they got rich and all.

Adam: Tell you what. From now on, I'll call you Melissa.

Molly: You'd do that ?

Adam: Yeah. Melissa Anne Brandon. It's a beautiful name.

Molly: Thank you. Anyway, tomorrow's a big day huh? Wanna talk about it?

Adam: Only if I can bore you to sleep.

Molly: But I don't wanna go to sleep. It's still early.

Adam: You're tired. You need some rest. Tell you what. I'm going to need all the support I can from you so you must be all energized up tomorrow. And you can only be at full strength if you have a godd night sleep tonight.

Molly: That's true. But, I'm not sleepy yet.

Adam: Okay then, I'll bore you to your dream.

Molly: Okay. It's a deal! So, spill! Tell me about your plans tomorrow.

Adam: Okay, first of; I'm going to brag about you in front of Emma.

They laughed.

Molly: Put Emma aside, what about your team? The Warriors?

Adam: As you know, they don't really need me. They just haven't got used to the fact that they have to stand on their own ground. I'll show them they can actually survive the school without me.

Molly: Wow. How are you going to achieve that?

Adam: I'd still be me. But, I'm just going to be a low-profile student. I'll find a way for them to actually believe in themselves and not just rely on me.

Molly: That's going to be hard. But, knowing you, I know you can do it. I believe you can.

Adam: You have faith in me?

Molly: Yes, I do. But, what if they make it hard for you? I'm worried about that.

Adam: Don't you go frowning over that Melissa. With you by my side, I'll be sure to handle it. I can't lose my face in front of my girlfriend do I? I'd look like a pussie.

Molly laughed. Her eyes were getting heavier. She felt sleepy.

Adam: Don't hold back. Just go to sleep.

Molly: Are you sure?

Adam: Yes. Sleep.

Molly: Good night.

Molly got up and gave Adam a kiss on the peck.

Adam: Sleep well Melissa.

Molly went to sleep soundly. Adam stayed. He did not want to think about tomorrow just yet because in front of him is the view of an angel. His heart was calm looking at Melissa sleeping.

Adam: Melissa?

He smiled.

Adam: It really is a beautiful name. And you are an angel Melissa.

Episode 22: Thank you Brooke!

Adam: Really? No wonder you looked familiar!

Brooke: Yeah, I thought you wouldn't recognised me. Anyway, Molly is waiting for you.

Adam: I feel bad doing this to her. She shouldn't have been involved in this complicated matter.

Brooke: She really care about you. She looked for me last week. Since then, she hasn't stopped working.

Adam: Don't tell me she was busy all these times because she knew about this problem coming?!

Brooke: She didn't have a good night sleep lately.

Adam: I could see from her eye-bag.

It was silence.

Brooke: I believe we havent officially met. My name is Brooke Montgomery.

She took out her hand and Adam shook it.

Adam: Hi. I'm Adam Lechrin. I could see from the way you dressed up and Molly went to you that you are interested in this matter, I suppose?

Brooke: What kind of things?

Adam: Like a lawyer-to-be, in handling serious issues as the Aspire Academy's representative.

Brooke: You guessed well. It's getting late. I went to the Principal and asked him the day off for you, Molly and me. Let's go somewhere else.

Adam: Have any place in mind?

Brooke: Fast Coffee House.

Adam: Lets.

They were walking from their school to the Fast Coffee House. Since it was a long journey, they had a chance to get to know each other better.

Adam: I still couldn't believe you were the girl from the Fast Coffee House.

Brooke: Yeah, I know. If only you'd take your chances, then we would have known each other by now.

Adam: Well, it's a mishap on my side. So, I apologise.

Brooke: There's no need for that. Besides, aren't we're talking right now?

Adam: That's true.

Brooke: It's going to be a tough day tomorrow. Are you prepared?

Adam: (Big & long sigh) I dunno..

Brooke: Well, don't worry coz Molly and I will be there tomorrow! And if they're trying something 'dirty', I would be around to prevent it from happening!

Adam: Thanks. That's thoughtful of you. So, if I may ask you some questions?

Brooke: Sure, I don't mind.

Adam: Out all the career in this world, why do you want to be a lawyer?

Brooke: Wow.

Adam: What?

Brooke: No has ever asked me before.

Adam: Really? Why is that?

Brooke: People tend to judge me and therefore they make conclusions about my life.

Adam: Like you must grow up in a well-mannered family and the lawyer thing is just in your blood? That your father or your grandfather was a lawyer and so you want to follow their footsteps? That you have no feelings at all underneath those neat clothes of yours and your cruelty lies behind those glasses? Something like that?

Brooke looked at Adam with surprise.

Brooke: How on Earth did you know?

Adam smiled. But it was a smile that said it all.

Adam: That's what people think of me too.

Brooke: So that's one of the reasons why you quit from Glory High School!

Adam: I'd love to say no to that but that's the truth. Anyway, we're here. Wait!

Adam looked at his watch and saw it was getting late.

Adam: Brooke, I'm soo sorry but it's getting late. I have something to do. Can we do this some other time? I promise I'll make it up to you.

Brooke: Sure, no biggie. But next time, you're buying!

Adam: That's a promise!

Adam was about to run when he realised he had something to say to Brooke so he turned to her.

Adam: Thank you Brooke!

Adam bowed at her.

Brooke: Just go already! Or you'll be late.

Brooke smiled big.

Episode 21: Another girl?

Jason: Come on man! What are yer doing her? You know this place sucks!

Brooke: Mind your language, please.

Emma: Adam, please, I beg you. Come back to us. Even if you don't want to join any organisation, it's fine by me. But, please, come back to me.

Jason: Emma, watch it! No! We have a lot of things to take care of! This slut may have left you but you still have us-your friends!

Emma: Who are you calling slut you backstabber? Who was the one to leave his so-called-friend when he needed you the most?

Jason: I only agreed you could come if you can bring Adam home but if this is your way then I would have...

Emma: You would have what?!

Brooke: Excuse me! This is the knid of talk you wanted to have with Mr Lechrin? Then you are wasting your time. He has already left while thw two of you were busy talking.

They could see the door shut.

Molly rushed to follow Adam's footsteps but she got lost when he turned on the corner. She decided to look for him at the rooftop-the place he loved to hang out. But he wasn't there. She searched the entire school but he was nowhere to be found.

So she returned to Brooke and the others.

Emma: Where is he?

Molly: I'm not sure. I couldn't find him.

Jason: See what you've done? God!

Brooke: People, it has already been an hour since Mr Lechrin's MIA. I suggest the representatives from Glory High School to return back from where you come from.

They refused at first but it was getting late. So they returned back to their school. Molly was upset to not managed to find Adam. Brooke approached her.

Brooke: You worry too much. He's a guy now. He can take care of himself.

Molly: I know that but he has gone through a lot this year.

Brooke: Tell you what. I'll get a day off for you and Adam. Then you can wait at home for him.

Molly: You will? Oh, thank you so much! I have got enough sleep for the couple of days.

Brooke: I know. You've been working on this matter so hard. You should get some rest.

Molly: Thanks.

So, with Brooke's smile, Molly convinced herself to get home. Brooke on the other hand, went to the Janitor's Office.

It was a large room for a janitor. It's comfy as well. As she expected, Adam was there. He was laying down there, looking out through the window.

Brooke: I thought I'd find you here.

Adam: You? How did you find me here?

Brooke: Yeah, this is not your place you know. It's my favourite spot too.

Adam: Humph.. I'm sure you must think that I'm some kind of an arrogant bastard who couldn't get enough of his life that he abandoned his duties and friends.

Brooke: Kinda.

Adam: You think I'm worse than that do you?

Brooke: Perhaps?

Adam looked at Brooke and he saw her smile. Then he knew she was joking.

Brooke: You don't remember me,do you?

Adam: Your face seems familiar but I still don't know where I've met you before.

Brooke: I was the girl with the latte at Fast Coffee House when you were hesitating to make a move on me or not.

Episode 20: Principal Office

Office: Attention to Adam Ritz Lechrin, attention! You are to report to the Principal's Office immediately. Thank you.


Everyone stared at Adam. Professor Charles nodded at him. Adam knew he had to get to the office immediately. It sounds bad. He was looking for support but Molly was nowhere to be found. She had been missing since two days ago. So, he quickly made his way.


He knocked the door.


Principal: Come in.


Adam: I understand you were calling for me, Sir?


Once he closed the door, Adam found out Molly was in the room as well. She wasn't the only one. Emma, his ex was there too. And his former school's principal, Mr Ritricky with Jason, the Student Body of Glory High School.


It was intense. Beside Molly was a girl whom Adam thought was familiar. It wasn't anyone from his previous school. He would have recognised her. Well, he knew practically everyone.


Principal: Sit down, Adam.


He sat down. He was curious.


Principal: Let me make it simple since we don't have all day. Mr Ritricky here, as you know, is the Headmaster of Glory High School. He is here to 'claim' you.


Adam: What? Why?


Jason: First thing first. You can't just abandon all of us just like that you know! The championship is two weeks away! You're the Captain! You might have not joined some of the games but it is unforgiven for you to bail on the Championship. We worked hard to stall the game.


Emma: He's right. The Student Body has failed miserably since you left us all. All is at mess. Please come home Adam, to where you really belong.


Mr Ritricky: Yes Mr. Lechrin, you can't just quit from Glory High School, bailing on the Warriors in time for the championship nor leave the Student Body just like that. You have many duties that need to be carried out.


Adam: But I can Mr Ritricky,I definitely can. I already did it. I've joined Aspire Academy legally. There's nothing you can do about that!


Mr Ritricky: Actually we can. You did sign the Contract which stated that you are not legit to leave Glory High School when you have unfinished responsibilities and duties. Obviously you didn't fill in the Resignation Form so therefore you did not quit officially. Thus, you still have duties to be carried out and your leaving is unacceptable by law!


Principal: Surely Mr Ritricky we can work something out.


Mr Ritricky: Mr Hummerson, I assure you not to interfere in Glory High School's matter or there will be consequences!


Mr Ritricky: With all due respect Mr Ritricky, although Glory High School is a noble school but this is my school so you have to respect me and my students as you are in my office!

Molly: If I may add up something, Sir?

Principal: Yes,you may.

Molly: Why don't we just make a deal out of this? As far as I know, dragging this matter to the court would be time and money consuming. Isn't that true, Brooke?

Brooke: Yes, it seems so. When this issue is being brought to the court then an investigation would be carried out to varify..

Emma: To varify Adam's entrance to this school and his quitting from Glory High School. I know that. But it doesn't matter coz whatever happen we would still have Adam back to the place he truly belongs!

Brooke: Yes, but you must also consider the time it's going to take for the the process to be done. I mean, there would be a lot of questioning and varifying facts. All those seems simply yet it's really complicated and by the time they have finished investigating then we would all have been graduated from either of the schools. We wouldn't want to miss the Champiosnhip nor leave the Student Body of Glory High just like that, right?

Mr Ritricky: This deal you're talking about, what are you getting at? That both schools would have to actually share Mr Lechrin?

Brooke: Sort of.

Molly: What are you really suggesting, Brooke?

Brooke: Well, let us give time for Mr Lechrin to decide. He should be given a period of time to decide where he wants to continue his studies at. In the meantime, he should return to Glory High School and finish whatever tasks he had left before. Until he is finished, he's got time to think about this matter. By doing so, neither party would sue or bring this matter along in the future. And the school which Mr Lechrin decided to leave would have to obey his wishes.

Emma: It's like a probation ain't it?

Brooke: Precisely! But, during his time at Glory Institute, he should be observed just in case.

Emma: But that wouldn't seem fair. What about our side?

Molly: If you want, a few of you could come along and observe Adam's life here in Aspire Academy too.

Principal: This is good enough for me.

Mr Ritricky: The same goes to me.

Both principals shook hands.

Jason: Sir, if we may? We would like a few words with Mr Lechrin here.

Mr Ritricky: Yes, you've got time until lunch hour.

Principal: Melissa, Brooke, join their conference in the Discussion Room. I'll escort Mt Ritricky to his car.

Brooke: Understood.

Molly: Yes,will do!

Episode 19: The Camp Part II

Missie: Oh stop it you two! There's no such thing as PDA right now!

Julie: Ignore her, she's just jealous!

Missie: Why would I be jealous? I'm with Brad now aren't I?

Brad: Wats up people?!

All of them came and joined Adam and Molly. After Brad beat the crap out of Adam, he apologised. Then they came to an agreement to not fight. So everything was cool between the both of them. Missie started to date Brad later. It is still a secret whether she still have feelings for Adam or not. But all of that didn't matter that night. They were sitting in a circle beside the bonfire.They talked, played some music and then it came to a sharing moment. The time to share their love stories.

Hannah: So, now that we're all here in couples. Let's get deeper.

James: Suga, can you mind your own business?

Hannah: Ow. What's a campfire without stories to tell?

Julie: Yeah, let us get started. Right James?

James: Most definitely!

Missie: Let us start with these two couple! How did you two met? It's a mystery.

Brad: Yeah, we never knew how you two got along. No one knew.

Molly: It's simple actually.

Adam: Yeah, I met her two years ago.

Everyone: What? TWO YEARS ago???

Adam: Well, it was raining like cats and dogs. I was on my way home when I got out a convenient store and saw her. She was dancing in the rain.

Everyone was shocked. They were listening carefully. Molly couldn't believe what she is hearing. She even forgot about this story.

Julie: And then what happen?

Adam: She was in the middle of the road so I opened my umbrella and hurried to her. She was spinning like a lunatic. When I got to her, she dropped to the road. I kneel to her and sheltered her from the rain and then..

Everyone: What???

Adam: Once her dizziness stopped, she was shocked my face was right in front of hers. She knocked me on the head. She thought I was trying to take advantage of her. And when I was knocked down, she stole my umbrella and ran away.

Julie: Molly? You did such thing?

Everyone laughed.

Adam: Yeah, I couldn't forgot the face who stole my umbrella. Two years later..

Molly: A year later, I was wandering around the street when it rained. So, I stopped by the Fast Coffee House. It was packed and I was all wet. It was already a bad bay for me so I ordered a latte. Then I was told to wait. Then a coffee was served and the staff called out a guy's name. He went to the counter but tripped. It was the funniest thing I have ever seen. I laughed my heart out. Turn out to be, it was him, Adam.

Adam: So, when I moved in to this school she recognised me. We talked...

Molly: And then we knew we had feelings for each other.

Adam: And that was our story.

Adam and Molly looked at each other. Molly was touched. She still remembered Adam saying he didn't remember when and where have they met before. Now she knows he was lying back then. He remembered. She remembered it too.
