The sun had just risen and three boys were stirring from their slumber. They had promised to attend a class that morning and were determined to keep their word. They moved quickly, not speaking a word to each other, eager to reach their destination.

As they neared the classroom, Spider spotted Helena getting on a bus filled with education students. Without hesitation, he sprinted towards the bus, and Jack and Chaly, who were left feeling confused and curious, followed suit. They rushed to the back of the bus, searching for Spider, but instead, they found a man introducing himself as Luke.

"I am Luke, the man of God, and I wrote the Gospel of St. Luke. The Lord said that you should love your neighbor as you love yourself. Here, have an orange fruit," he offered, but Chaly declined, as he was a man of vegetables.

Jack was taken aback when he saw Spider sitting next to Helena, chatting and laughing. The sight made him uneasy, as he feared that Spider might win Helena's heart before he had a chance. He even refused the fruit offered by Luke. The journey to class had just gotten a little more complicated for the three friends.

The bus was full as it started moving. Helena turned to the man sitting next to her, whom she referred to as "Spider," and asked why he was there. "I thought you were doing computer stuff and there were no students taking computer courses, only biography students are here," she said.

"I came to keep you company on this school trip," Spider replied, placing his hand on Helena's. "I thought I already told you everything, what else do you want to know?"

"Well," Helena said with a smile, "I want to know where you're from and your relationship status, that kind of thing."

"I'm from the central part of the country, and according to my relationship status, I'm taken," Helena explained.

Spider raised an eyebrow and said, "Really? Booked means you're single, like being kept for future use." He then started looking at Helena's body in a way that made her uncomfortable.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Helena asked, her tone serious. "I have a boyfriend and I don't want to cheat on him. So, back off and stay away from me."

Spider stammered, trying to explain that the person she thought was his brother was just a friend. But Helena was already getting off the bus, leaving Spider behind, looking confused.

At the Kadiyo beach bus stop, the teacher in charge of the trip gathered the students and addressed them. "Welcome to Kadiyo beach, the largest beach in the country. You have five hours here to enjoy the place. Swimming is free, but everything else you'll have to pay for. Is that clear to everyone?" The students all replied with a resounding "yes sir," except for Spider, who was lost in his own thoughts.

Luke, Jack, and Chaly were good friends and Luke took them to meet Helena. When Jack saw Helena, he ran over and hugged her, much to the annoyance of Spider. Luke was surprised to see this and asked, "Do you guys know each other?" Helena replied, "Yeah."

Chaly then asked, "So, what's next? Are we going swimming, drinking, or boat riding?" Helena smiled and said, "I prefer drinking Smirnoff."

The group of friends were forced to go to a club because of a woman's request. However, none of the guys were in the mood to drink. When they arrived at the club, they asked the waiter to bring them whiskey and Smirnoff, and they sat at a round table. Chaly sat next to Spider and Jack sat next to Helena. The drinks arrived and as they drank, they noticed a man in a black suit with a green necktie sitting next to them. He seemed to be an alcoholic and had a briefcase filled with money that he placed under the table. Chaly had a bad feeling that they were going to get in trouble for drinking without any money. So, Chaly stood up from his seat and went to sit across from the man at the same table. "Good afternoon sir," Chaly greeted the man.

"The man opened one eye and stared at Chaly, then closed it again. He took a swig from his bottle of beer and said, 'I don't like stupid students. It's not even noon yet, it's only 11:59 am.'

'Thank you very much, sir,' Chaly replied, taking a sip from his drink.

The man continued drinking several bottles of beer until he eventually fell into a deep sleep. Chaly's gaze shifted to the briefcase on the floor and he saw an opportunity. He slowly used his foot to drag the briefcase towards Helena's seat. She quickly snatched it up and headed out of the club towards the bus.

Chaly signaled for Luke, Spider, and Jack to follow Helena, but a woman saw what Chaly had done. When the four boys left the club, the woman tried to wake up the sleeping man, but he was too dizzy to respond. The woman ran to the teacher in charge of the trip, but he dismissed her, claiming he had a serious meeting. Frustrated, the woman could not speak to the teacher and went back to the club.

Eventually, all the students got back on the bus and took their seats. The bus started moving, and the group continued on their journey."

    Chaly and their group were huddled together at the back of the room, marveling at their newfound wealth. "I can't believe we've become rich in just a matter of seconds," exclaimed Luke with a wide grin. Helena gazed at Chaly in amazement, and they burst into laughter, thoroughly enjoying the trip. Their camaraderie continued until they returned to school.The five guys had become fast friends, and they decided to spend the night at Chaly's house. As they settled in, Chaly divided the money equally among them, and they all rejoiced, reveling in the sheer joy of the moment.

    The room was silent, except for the cheerful chirping of the Weaver birds that could be heard all around. A man, who appeared to be a lawyer, was present, and although he may have understood the law better than anyone else in the room, he seemed to lack knowledge of the school's rules and regulations. In contrast, the person speaking felt confident in their understanding of the school's guidelines and advised everyone to disregard the lawyer's advice on this matter.Some people in the room seemed to be in a bit of a disobedient mood and they took their time sitting down. The speaker continued, acknowledging two individuals, Helena and Luke, who seemed to have a good track record when it came to discipline. The speaker believed that any minor issues from them might just be the result of peer pressure.Just as the speaker finished, a commotion ensued.

At first, the prisoners were grateful for the change, but it wasn't long before they realized that the new Inspector was far stricter and more ruthless than the previous one, Ondula.The new Inspector wasted no time in making his mark on the prison. He changed the name of the west wing, claiming that it had been named by a useless Inspector.

It was a deep pit that descended ten thousand feet underground and was home to a swarm of crocodiles. Any prisoner who misbehaved would be thrown into the pit, and the crocodiles would make quick work of them. The other inma

Opkli removed his clothes and got into bed, but to his surprise, he found that the floor was covered in water. He didn't pay much attention to it and stepped on the wet floor unknowingly, causing him to slip and fall. Unfortunately, as he fell, he accidentally touched a live electric wire on the floor and it electrocuted him due to the high voltage. Tragically, Opkli's father suffered the same fate, and both of their bodies were discovered the following morning. The police deemed the incident as an accident.Opkli was devastated and cried until he found himself in a dark room with cold water on the floor.
