Gale sipped from his fruit shake as he leaned on the wall. The class just had another round of a PE class, so they were all resting in front of the Computer Science (Comp Sci) laboratory. It was situated on the fourth floor, so it was better if the students headed to where they needed (such as the food stalls or lockers) before going up.

Suddenly, Tonito arrived at the area, dragging a long rope behind him. John followed, perhaps to prevent it from causing trouble on their way.

"Why do you have that!?" Leanne stared at them in shock, and so did the other students.

They both laughed, having a mischievous ((͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖)) glint in their eyes.

"OHHH!" Denise jumped up and joined them.

"No!" Leanne realized what they were going to do and took the rope away from them.

There already was a partially tied noose on it. It reminded Gale of the ones they used to attach boats to the docks in his hometown. Speaking of boats, they took one on the way to the airport. He didn't enjoy that, though.

"Where did you even get that..?" Jeff stared at the rope in Leanne's hands.

"We found it at the caf." John answered, pointing at the window to the right of the lab's doors. There was a view of the canteen.

"Then..." Leanne was about to ask another question, but she knew it wasn't going to do anything. "Since they found it, it seems safe to just bring it to the Discipline Office..."

"Or just throw it in the trash." Carl shrugged.

"You can still practice ki—" Denise didn't get to say the rest of his sentence as Julia hit him with her fan.

"Why the fuck would you do that!?" Carl yelled.

Julia hit Denise to stop him from answering.

"Ah, class!" Ma'am Tina arrived after everything was settled, not knowing what transpired. "We have an activity instead of a lecture, and we need the internet. Let's go down to the Catalyst Lab, one of the Comp Sci laboratories at the ASTB."

The students obeyed and made their way to the said building.

The ASTB was the building to the right of the flob pathway, and it connected to the blob. It actually housed the lockers, and next to them was a space for an event. A little farther back, the Tech Unit, Comp Sci laboratories, and workshops (such as that large room with a laser cutting machine) were in it, too.

"It's cold." James mumbled behind him as they entered the Catalyst Lab. Gale didn't feel it, but it must be the fact he was wearing his black jacket.

The only seats were those at where the computers were instead of having separate areas for computers and lectures.

Gale soon found where his monitor was. It was labelled with seventeen, his class number.

He started the computer's system, opened up the web browser, and typed in his intended destination. The white screen soon filled itself with the website's content, and Gale made his way to their Comp Sci class' announcements were.

"We're going to make a karaoke!?" Ciel exclaimed in a way it was soft. Hi class number was eighteen, so Gale heard him.

"Your project will be a lyric video of any song you'd like as long as it follows the guidelines." Ma'am Tina explained. "The instructions and rubrics are posted."

Hm... Gale read through them. It said they had to look up how to create the videos on Youtube, but he decided to skip that part for now.

He quickly reached into his bag, grabbed his earphones, and plugged it into the port. He opened up another tab as he placed the buds into his ears.

5SOS... Imagine Dragons... Twenty One Pilots... Green Day... Blink-182... The Neighborhood... Paramore... Maroon 5... P!ATD... The list ran through his thoughts as the red and white website appeared. Even if choosing the song isn't the first step since I legit don't know how to make that video... The wifi is too good. I want to listen to music, too.

"Dude," Gale looked at Jeff as he furiously kept tapping on his laptop's keyboard. "You're working on the project already?"

The day had ended, and they returned to their dorms. On another note, Jeff had his laptop, for he registered it since he first came to the school (besides the entrance exam preparations, the entrance exam itself, and enrollment).

"Aw... Responsible..." Tonito buried his face in his intermediate pad. At a first glance, somebody would think he was doing some homework.

They'd be very, very wrong.

"I'll have you know I rather like this song." Jeff answered, his smile filled with pride. Despite his hard work, he refused to reveal any detail to anyone.

"Sure, sure." Gale nodded, opening up his phone. "They're talking about Paskorus."

"Yeah..." Gale stared at the screen, slightly confused. He knew that Andy and Julia were bus mates, and some of their classmates would hang out with them inside until they had to leave. "Definitely Paskorus."
