The light coming from the window pane illuminated the glossy court floor.

"Mop this court and then we'll talk after." 

After assisting Aeiou to the gym, the teacher slammed the door and left Aeiou alone inside the gymnasium.

Hissing viciously, Aeiou spoke, "I'm going to make Heather put poison on your drink!" He kicked a ball on the floor. "Fuck you! Zed!"

After an hour of using a mop and a bucket he found at the back of the gymnasium's bathroom door, Aeiou was able to finish mopping half of the court.

Drenching with sweat, Aeiou wiped his forehead and immediately sat himself on a nearby bench. He heaved a sigh. "Fuck you Zed... I'm... I'm gonna fucking kill you." Aeiou strenuously spoke though his breath while unbuttoning his polo. Mopping the court floor was an easy task and Aeiou shouldn't be breathless, but the thing was, Aeiou hasn't eaten anything since this morning. His vision were starting to get blurry and his stomach aches as if someone punched him.

But if I don't finish mopping this, who knows what will that teacher do to me? 

With a defeated expression, Aeiou shook his head and stood. He started mopping the floor again. 

Suddenly, the door behind him thundered as it opened. Aeiou almost cursed his guts out. 

He turned his head quickly, and he found someone that made his nose blew air. "What the hell are you doing here?"

The door puked an extremely handsome guy with diamond skin and blue eyes. "Put that down."

"What?"

It might just be Aeiou's imagination but Zed's eyes flashed murderous intent. That was the first time he saw it again after their fight at the bathroom door. 

Zed didn't answer, he just stared at Aeiou.

That resolute and steely stare had always been unpredictable. What's his problem? Truth be told, even though he wasn't scare of Zed, Aeiou would rather have Zed stare at him with a cunning smirk. This stare of death, as if Zed was so angry he wanted to decapitate someone, usually means trouble. 

Zed looked down the floor and his jaws clenched. He looked up at Aeiou then to the mop. "Put that thing down and come back to your house with me." 

Aeiou squinted. It took him a while to process what Zed said. Then, he snickered loudly. He thrust his left hand upwards and said mockingly, "I thought you came here to laugh at me, but it seemed like you came here to make me laugh instead. Come back to our house? After you crawled in to my room like a thief? What a thick skinned monster." 

"There's nothing to steal in your house... except you."

Turning his head back to mopping, Aeiou snickered. "How dare you belittle our family..."

"Then should I ban you at the cemetery too?"

 When Aeiou turned his head back to Zed, Zed was already smirking. It might just be Aeiou's imagination again, but Zed's face and voice softened a bit.

"As if I'll go back there."

"When you die, I'll bury you there."

"What the... get out!"

Zed laughed. "Hahaha... Look at what you have done to yourself. Don't tell me you're going to blame me for this." 

Aeiou didn't answer anymore. He just rolled his eyes back to mopping. 

He whirled the mop into the brown and bubble filled bucket, pulled it out and slapped the floor, ignoring Zed purposely. He continuously mopped as if no one was there with him.
