New Life: A Second Chance

Kyle watched Kay leave, following behind Sarah before catching up to her. He sighed and turned back to face the others at the table.

He smiled wryly at Sophia, who had watched the entire 'drama' in front of her with confused eyes. He didn't explain, leaving it to Ali to do so if Sophia did want to ask. Not like Ali would have known fully what was truly going on anyway.

The less people who knew, the better.

"Mrs. Smith also has a list of candidates for you to choose from," Sam piped from the other end of the table.

"Perhaps next year, Sam," Kyle answered, "For now, I'll try to find one on my own."

As Kyle sat there, looking around at the cafeteria, he began thinking ... as much as he enjoyed school life and the carefree days, perhaps he should speed up the plan after all.

There were so many things going on right now and so many new revelations that Kyle began thinking that he needs to focus on some other things that had not been contemplated before. After all, 12 years ago, he would have never thought he'd be part of the Black Dragons or find a clue concerning Rex Industries.

Did he really need to stay in school now?

It would be a big step and it wouldn't just involve him. There were just too many things to take into consideration and he didn't want to rush things. For now, though, it was an option that he would need to consider.

And plan for.

✿ Sayuri Apartment ✿

Sayuri sat on the floor, staring at her wall.

The entire apartment living room wall that she had left bare, now had several pictures and things she had put up. It was her own 'crazy wall',* or to be more accurate, her 'big board',** (even though it was the wall and there was no 'board' per se).

She had taken the liberty to stick things on the wall and even write on it. Sayuri would repaint the wall when she moved out, and the crazy wall helped her think.

There were various pictures that she had arranged in similar to an organizational chart, with her own personal tweaks.

The centre of the crazy wall held the biggest picture, and it was of Kyle.

On his right, in a smaller picture, was Kay with the words 'twin sister' on it. On his left, Xing Han (BFF). Above Kyle, which was split into two, was Sam (PA) and Ali (???).

Below Kyle, there were several categories and its respective notes about it:

Hobbies: bouldering / ???

School: Student Council President / Sage Class Leader / Top IQ Test Scorer

Activities: Acting / CEO-in-training / ???

Love life: ???

Skills: Self-defence / ???

Sayuri had just added a further ??? under self-defense, as she remembered those smooth steps. She bit her lips, as she observed the number of ??? that she had on the wall. There were many things that she did not know and would need to find out.

Yet, her disastrous first day at Sage Class had made it difficult for her to approach any of the Elite Five for information.

Xing Han had, like a little kid, refused to even look at her. Thus, Sayuri decided that the best course of action was to let him calm down first before approaching him.

She had tried to approach Ali, but he was all serious during class time and after that, he would be spending it entirely with Sophia.

As for Sam? She figured that with his position as Kyle's PA, he would have a lot of information about Kyle, right? Unfortunately, he was so tight-lipped about Kyle that Sayuri felt getting blood from a stone would have been easier. She couldn't even find out how Sam became part of the Elite Five!

She couldn't push too much as it would only arouse suspicion. Worse, he might even think she was romantically interested in Kyle!

Sayuri sighed and turned to look at the opposite wall.

There, hung three framed calligraphy words that Sayuri had written and hung side-by-side to each other.

She now looked at those words, to relax her mind and to remind her of the things she needed to work hard on.

The first was "Humility", to remind her that she must always be humble and never look down on others. Never be arrogant.

The second was "Perseverance", to remind her to never give up and always work hard.

Lastly, "Wisdom", to remind her to use her mind to think and analyse, rather than judge.

She wrote these words on pieces of paper as well and placed them all over the apartment. She had also written it on the inside of her pencil case so that she is constantly reminded of it.

Sayuri sighed and went to study the crazy wall again.
