After the ruined party, Gypso went to the study room to see her father. When she enters the room, her father is sitting on his favorite office chair.

“I…” Moo started.

Gypso is nervous while waiting for her father’s word.

“I… am sorry for what I’ve said.” Moo said.

Gypso blinks her eyes two times to see if she is not dreaming.

“I should have been fair and listen to your side.” Moo apologetic said.

“Pa, that’s enough. I am not used in seeing you like that. I already used on your loud voice telling me why can’t I be like my sisters, or stop going to the club. You know, the usual you when it comes to me.” Gypso said.

“Ramita…” Moo said.

Gypso just smiled.

“Ok, fine. But since the truth has finally been revealed, those two will be expelled and you can go back to the academy.” Moo said.

“Thanks, pa.” Gypso said. “Can I go now?”

“There are two more thing: be a good girl and congrats of getting the role as the high school Anne Mahapreukpong.” Moo said.

Gypso smiled. “Thank you.”

Singto usually doesn’t stay in the dorm at night if there is no exam.

“I just want to sleep here.” Singto said.

“I’m curious.” Mike said. “Where do you sleep if you’re not here? I’m sure not in your girlfriend because you don’t have one. You like Esther.”

“I’m staying with my friend. He is alone in his room so I stay there to accompany him. And as for Esther, I decided to forget her. She and Shaun are ok now.” Singto said.

“You will find another girl.” Mike said and went to the bathroom.

Just then, Jes knocks on the door.

“P’Amp, can we talk?” Gypso asks.

“Sure.” Amp said.

Gypso and Amp walk away from Amp’s friends.

“What is it?” Amp asks. “Is it about what happened-”

“I don’t want to talk about it. I want to ask you what you are doing in our house last Saturday night.” Gypso said. “I saw you and pa came out from the study room.”

“Ah… I am a trainee in Silver Fountain Co.” Amp said. “Uncle Moo called me to talk about the business.”

“That’s it?” Gypso asks.

“That’s weird.” Sita said.

“What?” Amp asks.

“Isn’t that Ramita?” Sita asks.

“Yes.” Amp said.

“Why is she here?” Sita asks.

“She just asked me something.” Amp said. “Anyway, what is CEO March wants?”

“He will probably talk about the gang fights that happening around.” Sita said.

“I’m a secretary. He should talk to Hunz.” Amp said.

“Amp…” Sita is warning him.

“Just kidding.” Amp said.

“Let’s back to Ramita. What’s the status between you and her?” Sita asks.

“None. Gypso is like a little sister to me.” Amp said.

“If it was Hunz who said that, I’ll believe that but you? No.” Sita said. “Obviously you like the girl.”

“I am not.” Amp said.

“You’re not or you can’t?” Sita asks. “I know that you have a responsibility but if you follow it, will you be happy?”

“How about if I return your question to you but this time it is CEO March?” Amp asks.

“Hey! Don’t just change the topic!” Sita said.

“Stop asking questions. We’re here.” Amp said and went inside the room.

“Pa, I have friends from Science Club.” Singto said.

“Do you know that Singto doesn’t go out at weekend? He doesn’t go to Bangkok and stays at his dormitory room.” His mother said.

“Really?” Gypso asks. “You should sometimes hang out with us, P’Singto. After all, you and Bambam are roommates.”

“That’s a good idea.” His mother said.

“I think we need to go now. It is almost time for the curfew.” Singto said.

“Oh, ok.” His mother said.

Singto and Gypso left.

“Why did you lie to them? You don’t really sleep in the dorm.” Gypso said.

“How did you know?” Singto asks.

“You’re Bambam’s roommate.” Gypso said.

“Glad you know me.” He said.

“What do you want?” Singto asks.

“Your boyfriend, Perawat Sangpotirat, has a debt to us and we are here for that debt.” He said.

“Why don’t you see him? Leave us alone.” Singto said.

Pop walks towards him.

“You will pay that debt.” He said and punches Singto to his stomach.

Gypso screamed when Singto fell on his knees.

“P’Singto!” Gypso said. She was about to help her when Pop talks.

“What happened to them?” Amp asks.

“Someone must have knocked them down.” Hunz said.

“Help! Help!”

They heard a voice not too far from them.

“Gypso.” Hunz and Amp said.

They run towards the voice.

Gypso quickly check on Singto.

“P’Singto.” Gypso worriedly said.

“Gypso!” Hunz and Amp called her.

“P’Hunz! P’Amp!” Gypso said.

Hunz runs towards her and hugs her.

Amp felt jealous but ignore it.

“We need to take him to the hospital.” Amp said.

……………………………………………………

At the hospital, Singto’s father and mother arrived.

“What happened to our son?” Singto’s father asks.

“Guys from other school hurt him.” Gypso said.

“If we didn’t came, maybe it is too late.” Hunz said. “These past few days, gang groups are everywhere. It is not safe for the students to go out late at night.”

“He shouldn’t have helped us closing the store.” Singto’s mother said.

The doctor came out from the emergency room.

“He’s safe now. He just need to stay in the hospital for a couple of days.” The doctor said.

“Thank you, doctor.” Singto’s father said.

“We’d better go.” Amp said.
