-Ethan's POV
"Ah Ethan! Just right in time," Lucas said with confidence. "Follow me for a moment." He gestured and led me to a quiet corner of the school.
-
Lucas: honestly, how do you feel about the ranking system?Ethan: it's useless and retarded
Lucas: I agree and I can tell it doesn't sit quite right with you. But honestly, I think you should really think about what you want. Past three years, you chased after having many friends, but not the deep friendships that got your back at the worst of times. I think that's what Chloe is strong at and what you lack.
Ethan: you mean after tolerating her "weeby ways" for so long you still believe in her?
Lucas: yes. Maybe let's think about the issue from her lenses. What do you look in a friend?

Chemistry class
Lucas' POV
"3 Faith, for our chapter 1 Learning Checkpoint, we have a 100% pass rate, but 40% distinction rate," Mdm Aidah announced. "Do better, this is one of the easiest topics in the syllabus." She then distributed the papers.Everyone's phones buzzed concurrently, and one by one we joined the call. We were all plugged into our earplugs as we awaited everyone's response. Joe started the ball rolling. "How we doing for chemistry? I got 16/20!" Everyone started cheering on the other side. "The distinctions are getting their papers first. Who do you think are our distinctions?" I got the distinction and so did Ethan, but the minute Crystal reveal her A, Xingqiu, Keqing. Shenhe and Ningguang started to cheer again.
You're in 3 Faith
The best classSo you should only get an A
Anything less is a waste
And you won't get dinner tonight
So please use your hand as a chopping board today <3
I could've done something, but I decided to not say something. Ethan and Xingqiu became close following an English project about adolescence with me. Yet, I knew that the friendship would crush Ethan if he didn't leave it sooner. He was comparing two twins' scores in front of the class, both are his friends. I wanted to see how Ethan was going to play this game. What does he cherish?
-
Ethan: you can make fun of Chloe, but isn't that the pot calling the kettle black? Your Chinese is worse than mine.
Xingqiu: but that's the same. Besides, why are you friends with Chloe? All she talks about anime and all.
Ethan: but I learnt so much about anime from her; like how you learnt from me random calculator tricks. She is also coping well in maths because I show her all my calculator tricks all the time.
Xingqiu: well, look who's protecting baby! How about teaching her how to-
Ethan: we're done
Xingqiu: huh?
Ethan: I SAID WE'RE DONE! Do you think I have time to deal with your nonsense and encouraging hurting ourselves at every minor inconvenience? NO!!
-
Ethan's bellowing would've broken my earpieces but I'm thankful he did all this. Xingqiu really is a red flag at this point. And I trust he's in good hands, he's got Nicole, Simon and me. Losing one friend wouldn't be the end for him.
A/N: Hello everyone, long time no see! I hope you're joining this story so far because this is possibly my favourite project 😊 anyway I just wanted to let everyone know Nicole, Ethan, Chloe, Lucas and Xingqiu were all from 2 Faith the previous year and followed one another to 3 Faith. That's all from me for now, bye bye~
