20 DON'T DROP

One and a half-hour pass by...

ZzzzZzzzZ

On a huge rectangular room that is modernized and cute, pastel-color pattern, everything feels so luxurious, starting from the ceiling who has a hanging golden crown chandelier, the wall could be seen as a tie-dye shirt inspired pattern design.

While they were two aesthetic queen-sized bed with its very own side table and mini lamps, the empty bed looks to have its normal mess, besides from the floor that has a soft like fluffy cloud rug at the center of it a view of two girls laying in a huge box of few leftovers doughnuts is visible.

Ellise the other one who is like a log on a deep sleeping position on the right and the other side Its Calbee who's sleeping like an angel, both of the girl are on a total mess, and instead of the chocolate and mix doughnut cream stain on their soft baby face ruin their beauty it indeed makes them cuter.

Due to some reasons Calbee woke up, she got alert she needed to file a dropout from the school, but how could she file if she hasn't tell Ellise yet.

Calbee still on her elastic-fitting long sleeve long-necked with a camper-wear shirt over it they were a perfect match like Ellise together, she felt guilty if she leaves her best friend without telling her.

*sighs*,

How could I tell her, she's soft-hearted. I don't wanna hurt her. She already asks me not to leave her in the canteen, so how could I tell her that I need to leave if I just know that it's this hard to just tell her, should I wake her up and tell her, but how's that I may hurt her feelings, Ellie is already my sister maybe not in blood but in the heart.

*sighs*

"Oh, Ellie...", Calbee exclaimed and left a sad watery eyes and a trembling mouth on her pretty lips, she wanna cry, she just can't.

If only I was just good enough, life wouldn't be this hard.

She flies her soft and gentle hand and touches Ellise face with her slender finger, she closes her eyes to feel the soft sensation of Ellise face.

They were as soft as the baby's delicate skin, I'll miss this touch...

Her hand goes to Ellise long and soft hair.

The texture is so soft, I feel so safe with you, I just need to leave and go back, and quit this dream and hobby of mine.

"I'm sorry Ellie...", as she utters those words the tears that wished to fall, now gains freedom and fell freely from her trembling eyes, her nose is currently crumpled her runny nose are starting to itch, her beautiful mouth went upside down, she can bearly feel her chest heaving those heavy sobs, her face feel so heavy as well as her heart, it feels like millions of swords are thrust in one at a time, it's painful.

She chews her lower lip, every moan that should be coming out are lock on the cage of her mouth, wishing to be released.

As the tension grows, her body curled up, her chin digging on her arms, she cries hard silently while looking at Ellie, she doesn't wanna wake her, it's just inappropriate.

She noticed that the box is soaked so wet due to her streaming tears so she left the box as soon as she stands up, she saw a tag again, it looks exactly the same as the second one, so she didn't bother to open and read it, but instead of throwing it away, she put it inside her pocket.

"Thank you, for making my Welcome and Leaving Party Ceremony possible Mister Frost, it's the exact theme that I wanted, a whole bunch of doughnuts, Daddy Doughnut must be proud, if so I'm happy that daddy doughnut is happy, I hope he helps more drown people. Thank you daddy doughnut without you, there would be no Calbee existing.", to the fact that it was Mister Syrian guy who saved me and Ellie who helped me with my clothing and weaponry, that screwdriver it's Ellie behind them, Ellie I thank you for helping me with my mission, also without you, I could be sinking with the ship and got drowned.

I Also wanna thank Mister Frost for being my human Electronic Elevator at this University, and for being my knight and shining armor every time I fall, sorry for being so clumsy Mister Frost, I'm sorry for kicking your eggs too, and that is the last time that I would kick it since I'm leaving now. If you got infertile, I'm fine with it I'm not gonna be your wify anyway.

I wanna thank everybody in our section for the Doughnut Girl and Mister Syrian Guy ship, I wanna thank Miss Dahreen for showing me some affection when I was about to back out at my first mission.

"I'm gonna miss you all.", Calbee whispered and wipes her tears, as she fixes herself up and knocks on the Dean's Office Door. She was walking while remembering everything as if it's her last.

*knock* *knock*

"Who's there?", it's Mister Wheeler's cheerful voice, I'm gonna miss our knock-knock games together Mister Dean.

"It's Calbee!", Calbee said her voice was trying to be as cheerful as possible.

*sniffs*, Oh, this runny nose.

"Are you in cold honey, come in.", Mister Wheeler said and Calbee entered the office.

Mister Wheeler noticed her red face and much redder runny nose and puffy eyelids, she looks like she cried.

"Looks like you're an impostor, HAHAHA!", She's not like the Calbee that he first met, from the energetic and funny one to the gloomy and energy drained person who's now in front of him.

"No, Mister Wheeler, I'm Calbee, see?", Calbee forced a smile on her face.

What a tragic smile, your bloodshot eyes don't lie.

"Oh, honey it's fine to be down sometimes, you can cry.", Mister Wheeler said with affection in his eyes.

Calbee stumbled down the floor she covers her face with her slender hands due to shyness and let her tears go for a run all over her cheeks, finally, all of her deep heavy sorrow are going out.

*sobs*

"I-I'm sorry Mister *sob* Wheeler.", Calbee said.

"Shh, let it out and cry.", Mister Wheeler said while still on his chair and chilling, he doesn't wanna cross the line and he does not want Calbee to think that he's taking advantage, his a great man with great moral.

It's my last time here anyway, there's no reason for me not to cry and let it all out, it's so heavy beneath you know, I just really wish to be enough, fate just doesn't wanna give it to me.

Calbee takes a deep breath that stutters, her puffy eyelids remain as her eyes continued to left it bloodshot and her sight is blurry due to her teary state.

As she wept those salty tears her shoulders are shaking, she looks so drained.

"Louder, Calbee I can't hear you.", Mister Wheeler said.

"I-I can't..", Calbee said.

"Do you know that crying silently can kill you?", Mister Wheeler said and laugh.

"N-no.", Calbee responded politely even it's hard for her to talk.

"Crying would help you to avoid the greater risk of heart diseases and stress-related disorder, so have a good cry, don't hide it.", Mister Wheeler said and walks towards Calbee as he bends lower and pats Calbee's head like his own daughter.

"Go on, tears release toxins that are responsible for releasing stress, if you don't wanna damage your brain cry louder like no one is listening, it doesn't matter. Just make yourself feel human for a while. I'll wait, whenever you're ready.", Mister Wheeler said, not just Mister Dean is handsome even though he's at his 40. His enthusiastic as well, he is so responsible for taking care of every student that he holds, he's so caring. I wonder if he also has a daughter or son, and if he had one he's definitely the perfect dad that any child would ever want.

"Thank--You--Mister--Whee--ler...", Calbee said and intensify her cry, her tears are enough to fool a whole pail of water, while her voice is too loud enough for Hade Louigh who is now listening while in his room downstairs at the 40th floor, he may be not spying to Calbee who's at the 50th floor like how normal people stalk their crushes by being a hard-working ninja or spy at his point his a professional spy who doesn't need to lift his fingers or do anything just to absorb either do some skimming through that information, he's like a human CCTV sound microphone that has 999999999 trillion times sensitivity in hearing.

"Argh, I don't wanna listen anymore!", Hade Louigh yelled on her mind. It doesn't wanna stop listening to Calbee's voice ever since Calbee woke up and started to be a cry baby.

Hade Louigh flip on her bed like a lump of roasted meat on a grill.

He should be already sleeping, but hearing Calbee who's crying, she feels hard leaving the university. She felt bad for her, but on the other side she feel some inner happiness, he doesn't know why.

Since Calbee felt so hard leaving the university, there's a possibility that he won't leave anymore, HAHAHA!

"Argh, stop listening!", Hade Louigh said as Calbee's crying voice gets louder and louder, she feels the pain so much that she can't handle but to let the pain eat her as its release and response on her body by crying and screaming.

I wonder how painful it was.

I'm sorry Calbee, I don't wanna hear you cry like this if you wanna leave--

"NO, I don't wanna let you leave!", Hade Louigh didn't know that he unconsciously yell, it's the first time that her voice got pressed like that, thank goodness that every room is soundproof.

I need to calm down and trust my plan.

"I won't let you escape, you brain-coughed woman!", he yelled again as he takes a huge deep breath in and out, no matter what he does he still feel the tension and her hands started to form into a fist torturing his high-quality blanket.

Every time he breaths in he remember Calbee's angelic face and every time he breaths out he remembers her perfect plump red lips with those red blood on them that he felt attractive, her perfect brown eyes that look so innocent, her slim and cute pointed nose, her perfect glowing face they were mesmerizing, those strong and define collar bone, her tender skin that he wanna bite, she's the goddess that perfectly distinguishes the god inside me.

Her fist got calm when he didn't hear Calbee crying anymore, a huge silence pass through his mind.

What's happening now, he pokes his ear. What's happening I can't hear anything, how do I know what is going on! He intensely shakes his head, expecting to hear something from the 50th floor, but he didn't.

"D-did Calbee fainted?!", Hade Louigh get out of his bed and totally leave his all-black modern room, leaving the door shut with a huge boom! Before leaving.

From the 40th floor all the way to the 50th floor, he runs so fast his body as light as a feather and his running as fast as one strike of thunder.

He finally arrived, with those heavy breaths in and out are so loud.

He hears Calbee's angelic voice finally spoke from the office.

Hade Louigh choose not to come in, but hide on the 39th floor in a vacant room and sit there for a while.

"Mis-*sob*- ter Whe--ler, thank--you.", Calbee said and he can hear her voice so shuttered and crack.

*sniffs*

"Do you feel better now?", Mister Wheeler said and gave Calbee a handkerchief that has the exact design, that Hade Louigh gave her. Calbee was about to ask about it, but she needs to let the plague out from her tiny nose holes.

She take a sneeze that expels all her air forcibly from her nose in an explosive, spasmodic involuntary action.

*sigh*, Calbee felt relief now.

Asking the dean about the same handkerchief is not necessary, maybe they were just both reach and bought some limited edition handkerchief.

"Thank--You.", Calbee said while sobbing.

"I-I'm here b-because I want to r-request a drop out form, I want to l-leave the University.", As she said this she feels like she wanna cry again.

I-it's fine Calbee you did it, you do this for yourself okay?

*sniffs*

"Here sign this up.", Mister Wheeler didn't ask anything about why, she knew that Calbee is sure about it.

"Tch, Let's just see...", Hade Louigh murmuring while sitting on one of the chairs of the room that he's hiding from, he's on a number 4 position while chilling his handsome face on his palm and slender long fingers, waiting for his plan to work out.

"D-done.", Calbee said and gave the paper testament to Mister Wheelers.

"Good luck, Calbee.", Mister Wheeler said cheerfully full of sincerity on his heart.

"T-thank you, Mister Wheeler." Her sobbing starting to calm down.

"Here's my business card, so you can contact me anytime, anywhere.", Mister Wheeler said, and gave Calbee his contact card, Calbee put it in her pocket.

"Thank you, M-mister Wheeler.", Calbee said.

"Sure!", Calbee waved a bye before leaving the dean's office.

*sighs*

"Now, I got two hankies.", Calbee said as she folds it neatly and inserts it at her favorite pocket spot that she always use.

*sniffs*

"Now, I need to change my cloth.", Calbee said as she reaches the 40th floor while feeling so exhausted from climbing down the stairs.

She opened the door quietly and saw Ellise still inside the huge box of doughnuts sleeping peacefully.

"I'm sorry Ellie, Calbee will miss you so much.", Calbee said and gaze at her pretty pale face as she brushes Ellise long and straight hair with her bare hands.

Calbee's tear started to roll like a stream on her fluffy cheeks again.

As soon as she felt a little satisfied with her crying she stands up and went to the huge closet and pick some casual black oversize plain t-shirt and black skinny rip jeans.

As she was dressing up, some thoughts remind her of something.

Didn't me and my classmates who passed swum on the ocean for our mission a few moments ago, why are we not wet and still smells so fresh, we should have a stench of a fish now?!

She slaps her face due to this phenomenal revelation that she finally notices.

That doesn't matter, maybe the transportation machine does its work and has the power of making as neat, how cool the university is, and one of the reasons why I don't belong here, I'll just put myself on trouble fighting with those moron zombies!

("Moron Zombies?!"), wait that moron stick me.

I remember something!?

Calbee pressed her temples to keep focus.

Argh! I can't recall anything!

Tch, nevertheless I need to change and surprise mom and dad as I go home, I missed them since tomorrow morning.

Calbee wears the clothes that she chooses and now folding the military outfit that she just wear a few moments ago.

"My favorite pocket is so full, I need to transfer it now.", Calbee mumbled in a whispering motion, not to wake Ellise up.

She pulled the handkerchief, then the other one as one card excitedly fall from the ground, it was Hade Louigh's tag inside the big daddy doughnut box.

*sighs*

Seems like I can't return Mister Frost handkerchief, that doesn't matter, it's my souvenir anymore, and this reminds me of kicking his eggs.

*pft*

"Oh, the tag...", She bends herself forward to reach the tag that is like a book that is folded on a right angle, that Calbee can see the formal font it has.

As she picks it up, her eyes notice something. It's not the same tag earlier!? That means that they were three tags in total, and she didn't read the third one.

Hey what if Mister Frost writes 'I love you' in it or something like 'I like you' or any confession quotes... OML! HAHAHA! Calbee's face went blush even tho, she hasn't read them yet.

*breathes in*, the tag completely has two words that Calbee went confused about.

______________________________ || ♡ ||

|| DON'T ||

|| DROP ! ||

|| ___________________________||

How could we drop the box if it's too huge for us to carry!?

Tch, you send the wrong tag Mister Frost, it should be given to the delivery man who delivered it.

Ahem! What's the heart for, I guessed it right, Miss Frost is a gay, he wanna gave it to the delivery man with a heart, why didn't I read this earlier I and Ellie should be laughing together, HAHAHA!

But now I feel so down, I need to drop out and leave the university...

*sighs*

("I need to drop--."), am I dreaming?!

("I need to drop--."), wait a sec, Did Mister Frost mean this?!

(I need to drop--."), geez! I should've known!?

Calbee slaps her face due to another revelation, that she finally finds out. Calbee didn't waste any time and run as fast as she can, I need to chase the time before Mister Wheeler goes home.

"Mister Frost, just make sure to take care of me after not dropping out of the university!?", Calbee mumble while in a hurry climbing the stair up from the 40th floor all the way to the top which is the 50th floor.

"Why does this University don't have any elevator!", Calbee yelled.

Finally! Heavy breaths hug her lungs deeply, a huge catch of air that she is breathing makes her breathing more faster, the sweat on her forehead shows the evidence of her effort.

*knock* *knock*

"Who's there?", It's Mister Wheeler's voice.

*phew* I didn't fail.

"I-It's Cal--bee.", Calbee replied while still catching her breath.

"Come in, Calbee!", Mister Wheeler said cheerfully.

As Calbee opened the door she saw a handsome guy in black standing beside Mister Wheeler's table waiting for her to step in.

Calbee's heart stopped beating for a while.

"M-Mister Frost?!", what is he doing here?!
