"Congratulations to all of you on your graduation. We wish you luck in your lives, whatever you're planning to do," the head teacher droned on. "When is this gonna be over," Donghyuck whined. Mark elbowed him in the ribs, "shut up. It'll be soon." Donghyuck sighed and slumped back into his chair and crossed his arms.

Chenle leaded over to him. "What do you call a thieving crocodile? A crookodile," he whispered. Donghyuck looked over at him and saw that Chenle was trying his hardest not to laugh. "What do you call a lazy kangaroo? A pouch potato," Donghyuck said. He was trying to get Chenle to laugh out loud. He has the loudest laugh in the school. It'd be hilarious. And anyway, he started this with the pun so I'm gonna finish it. Chenle was trying his hardest still. "What do you call a classy fish?" He leaned in right next to Chenle's ear. "Sofishticated," he whispered. Chenle bursted into his high-pitched dolphin laugh. Bingo. Everyone else in the hall went silent; the only thing that could be heard was Chenle's laugh. "Is that you, Chenle?" The head teacher asked. Donghyuck smirked. His plan worked. "Yes, it is ma'am," Donghyuck answered. Chenle was laughing so hard that he couldn't answer for himself. "Of course. I'd like to see you after this presentation. You too, Donghyuck," she scolded.

After the presentation ended 2 hours later, the boys were freed. As soon as they stepped out of the hall, Renjun punched Chenle in the arm. "What the fuck was that all about?" he asked. Chenle squealed in pain, "it's not my fault! Donghyuck made me laugh!" he yelled. "But you started it with your crocodile pun!" Donghyuck argued back. They bickered back and forth until someone cleared their voice behind them. They all turned around to see the head teacher stood there with her arms crossed. "Chenle, Donghyuck, I'd like to speak with you," she said in a stern voice. The boys looked at each other and walked behind the teacher, their heads down. Jisung hit the back of Chenle's head before they disappeared.

"Would either of you like to tell me what that was about?" the head began. Donghyuck and Chenle looked at each other. "Well?" she said impatiently. "Chenle started it!" Donghyuck blurted out. "No I d- ok yeah I kinda did. Can't disagree with you there," Chenle said and leaned back in his chair. "What, started what?"
"Well Chenle said a pun to me and I could see that he was holding a laugh so I said some puns as well because I wanted to make him laugh and, well you heard," Donghyuck explained. The head teacher sighed, "I get that it's your graduation day, but during the assembly? I'm not going to punish you because it's your last day here. Go find your friends, you're dismissed." Both boys jumped up, "thanks ma'am," the said as they sprinted out of the office.

The day ended and all 7 boys headed home. "Should we have our own little party later? I don't feel like going to the one at Taeyong's place," Jeno said. The boys murmured in agreement. Lee Taeyong was the most popular guy in the school. All of his parties were amazing but none of them felt like going to this one. "We could come to mine?" Mark said. "I'm sure my parents won't mind if you guys wanna stay over as well." They've known each other for over 15 years, their parents as well. They don't mind what they do, as long as it's legal. "What time?" Jaemin asked. "I don't know. Just turn up when you feel like it." And with that they carried on walking home talking about whatever.

Everyone was at Mark's by 8pm. There was food, drinks, games, films for later and music playing in the background. They were currently playing twister -Jeno and Mark were sat out to be play the spinner and to laugh at the others. Chenle was screaming -of course-, Jisung was complaining that he was hurting, Donghyuck and Jaemin were laughing and Renjun was looking strangely calm, considering his body was twisted. "Jisung! Left foot red," Jeno called. "But that's so far," he groaned. He lifted his foot and slowly began to move his foot over to red. "Wait Jisung no!" Jaemin called but it was too late. Jisung accidentally nudged Jaemin's leg, causing both boys to fall. Chenle began to laugh at them but fell as well. "It's a showdown!" Mark called, covering his mouth with his hand to make it sound like a microphone. All of the boys 'ooh'd in anticipation at who will win. "Ok! Renjun, right hand yellow," Mark said. Renjun moves his hand effortlessly, his facial expression staying focused and committed. "How is he so calm?" Jisung whispered. "Donghyuck, right foot blue." Donghyuck looked at the only optional blue space. "Shit," he whispered. He tried to thread his leg through the rest of his body and under Renjun's. He began to shake and he inevitably fell. "Renjun wins!" Jeno screeched. Renjun collapsed and sighed. He smiled and began to laugh. "Renjun, you looked so focused!" Jaemin said. "I know. I take twister very seriously," he winked and laughed.

Hours later they were all watching The Lorax on dvd. Mark asked his mom if they could get the blowup mattresses out for the others. It was 11pm but they were all still very awake. "Guys. We should go on a road trip," Chenle said. It was a sudden thought but it was a reasonably good one. "Yeah. It'd be fun," Jisung said. "Yeah I guess. I could drive and we could go wherever," Mark pitched in. "When?" Jaemin asked. "This weekend," Chenle said. Everyone looked at him. "What?? We could do it. Buy and prepare everything, tell our parents and go," he explained. "That could work. I mean it's Friday, we could buy and get everything ready tomorrow and then leave Sunday. It'll be an adventure," Mark said. It was a wild idea but it would work. "Alright then. It's settled. We're going on a road trip."
