"Now let's go find the other two. I think they are out in front of the school waiting for us." Anessa and the three males began to leave the school.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Outside the school, there are two figures sitting on the stairs of the entranceway: Marianne and Wilder.

Marianne sat hugging her knees; her face buried between them. Wilder sat next to her.

"Marianne, what's the matter? You have been unusually silent." Wilder urges Marianne to speak, seeing her unhappy expression.

The girl lifted her head up. "How can things already go wrong Wilder? We just started school in this world, and the others already picked up a fight. I didn't want any of us to get in trouble, but it already happened. I can't believe Leo didn't try to restrain himself, as well as the others. They should've all been above those people." She continues.

"Marianne, how could you talk about His Highness and the others that way?" Wilder couldn't believe that she is even talking about Prince Leopold in such a condemnatory manner. She is Prince Leopold's precious love.

"Well Leo is a Prince and the others are sons of nobles, they should know better. We are all supposed to be on our best behavior for Anessa. Now she is going to be angry because some of us already failed her..." Marianne finishes mournfully.

Wilder scrunched his eyebrows. "It sounds like the idea of Anessa being angry bothers you." He stated.

Marianne gave a sigh. "I just look up to her." She replies.

They both heard the sound of footsteps behind them. They turn to see the disguised Anessa, Prince Leo, Keenan, and Matthias stood on the stairs.

"Okay now that everyone is together, let's us all go home." Anessa said tonelessly.

They all went to Anessa's car silently. No word was spoken on the drive towards home.
-----------------------------------------------------------

The front door opens abruptly. Anessa walks in to her mansion and threw her keys unceremoniously into a vase nearby. The five otherworlders followed her inside.

"I need a drink." She stated to no one in particular and headed towards the kitchen.

The teenagers awkwardly stood in the living room, giving each other nervous glances.

Anessa comes back with a can of beer in hand.

"Wilder and Marianne, you guys are not in trouble so you can go upstairs. You three, we are going to talk on the couch." She told them.

Marianne and Wilder did as she says. They slowly climb the stairs; giving worried glances to the three males.

Prince Leopold, Matthias, and Keenan went to sit on the three seater couch. Anessa went to sit on the single couch nearby.

She quickly drank her beer in a few gulps then loudly set the can on the living room table.

Then she opens her mouth.

"You three are idiots!"

Anessa then starts to berate them.

"What the f*ck is wrong with you three?! You do not start fights in school! Or anywhere else in general! You guys could've been suspended or expelled! Do you even comprehend the consequences of your actions?" Anessa's voice echoed through the room angrily. Prince Leopold, Matthias, and Keenan exchanged uncomfortable glances, absorbing her words.

Anessa continued, "You are not here to create chaos! I know that the other person is in the wrong too, but throwing punches is not the appropriate way to respond! You guys all had aristocratic upbringings in your world! So you should've known better than to resort to violence! If someone insults or touch you or someone you care about inappropriately, the best course of action is to report the person! Not throw hands! I am disappointed in you three!"

Prince Leopold lowered his gaze, a rare moment of humility. Matthias and Keenan shifted uncomfortably in their seats, realizing the gravity of their actions.

Anessa leaned forward, her eyes piercing. "This isn't a game. If you want to blend in while staying on Earth, you need to learn to control yourselves. I may have no choice but to reconsider having you guys attend school if you continue to get into trouble."

The room fell silent, the weight of Anessa's words sinking in. The three males swallowed nervously, understanding the severity of their actions.

"No, please don't Anessa! We want to learn about Earth's society and customs! And we owe you! It's the least we can do for taking us in and caring for our needs!" Prince Leopold argues.

Keenan and Matthias wanted to argue that they didn't want to attend school in the first place, but their Prince's words are final.

"I am so sorry that I started the mess we are in!" The Prince apologizes.

The other two said their apologies as well, although reluctantly.

"I am sorry too Anessa, I promise to not submit myself to violence again." Said Keenan.

"I'm sorry as well. I'll try not get in trouble again." Muttered Matthias.

Anessa feels satisfied with their replies. She then added, "From now on, no more fights okay! Remember to restrain yourself and correct your own behavior. Is that clear?"

They nodded solemnly, a mixture of guilt and determination in their expressions.

Anessa sighs. "Tomorrow will be a fresh new day. Now go upstairs to your rooms and think about what I told you. I hope you all will remember to think before you act next time."

The three males left the room, leaving Anessa to contemplate about the situation she is in.

Just when will System 0619 come back to take these guys home? How much longer will she be stuck with them?

Next chapter will introduce a new character's point of view. Well not exactly new, the person was already mentioned previously.
