Abbey have you seen Ren Yi Xiang?
No
Trev what about you?
No
Hakim?
No
Oh no Ren Yi Xiang where are you?
What happened Kevin?
I haven't seen him in school
Ever since that day after art class
It's been so long that I'm starting to see him in my food
Food?
I'm sure he's fine Kevin don't worry so much
Hey Kevin
Ren Yi Xiang you're back
Yeah man what happened to you?
I heard from Miss Sherly that the teachers found you
And you still refused to come back to school
Yeah what's up with that?
So after art class that day
I thought none of my friends cared about me
And want me around
So I didn't bother
But Mr Mabuhay and Miss Sherly found me
And I realised
It could be a mess at home
But there will always be someone who will care for you in school
Hey Ren Yi Xiang
Good to see that you're back
Remember if you ever need help
You can always come to me or any of your teachers
Okay
Oh yeah I'll drop by your house next week
To see how we can help you to catch up with your school work
Alright
See you guys in school
Thank you Miss Sherly
Miss Shirley has been going over to your place?
What for?
She came by a few times
To make sure I was okay
It's been rough at home
My dad is working odd jobs
To make ends meet
And to support the family
So I've been trying to help out at home more often
Must be hard for you
I guess it was harder than I thought
I started falling back in my schoolwork
I even thought about quitting school all together
As I was away
So thankfully Miss Sherly came by to understand more
About our situation
And now that I am back
She's helping me out to plan out
A study schedule so that I can catch up in my studies
I feel much better now that I know someone is helping me
That's great to hear Ren Yi Xiang
I hope you're feeling better
Well if you ever need help you can always count on me
Thanks Kevin
It means a lot to me
I think that's too much for you to finish alone
Let me help you with that
But
But Kevin
I brought it to share with my friends
Am I not your friend Debbie?
Thank you
I guess
Hey Debbie
Hi Ben
Do you have any cupcakes?
I was craving for it
Cupcakes?
No
Oh man
The only day I crave for cupcakes
I hate Kevin
Time to eat
Where did my sandwich go?
Wait
What?
Oh man
Thank goodness for my meal credits
Hey Ren Yi Xiang what's this about meal credits?
So I'm under the School's Meal Subsidy
That's how I got this meal
Oh that's a thing?
Well I'm glad that the school does this for
Students who need support
Anyway
Glad to have you back man
Ren Yi Xiang
That looks good
Can I have a bite?
Sure Kevin
A bite should be fine I guess
Thanks
You ate it all?
I needed that
It's the first decent meal in a while
I am so sorry
I mean there's still a little bit left
You know with the corn and everything
It's alright Kevin
Are you okay?
It's just
Now that the school
Has been helping out with my meals(in school)
Every meal counts
It's alright
I'll just skip breakfast to save on meal credits
No it's okay
I'll buy you breakfast
You sit
Take it as an apology from me
I am sorry Ren Yi Xiang
Hey
Thank you I appreciate it
In that case
Can I have an egg mayo sandwich
On a honey oat bread
Lots of lettuce
Lots of tomatoes
Ketchup and fries
Oh wait...
Fries?
Make it cheese fries
And ketchup yeah
That would be it
But
Oh wait
I need a Coke
Diet Coke
Less gas
But Auntie Betty only sells mashed potatoes
Don't you order food on a regular basis?
Just order it or something come on
Okay fine
But don't tell Uncle Salim
He hates it when he has to collect food from the front gate
My tummy pain
Okay
What was it again?
Right, bread
Guys
I hope you both remembered to submit your
Assignment online last night
In case that didn't freak you out
The deadline's today at 9AM
Assignment?
We have to submit it online?
Does anyone have your laptop?
Hey
You need a laptop?
You can use mine
Hey hey hey be careful with that
I just got it
And it didn't come easy
Why?
What do you mean?
You see
The school has been helping me out with many things
And when the teacher found out that
I couldn't have enough money to afford my own laptop
They helped me apply for financial support
So I could finally get one
So be careful with it
Okay sorry my bad
I'll be careful with it
So what's the online assignment again?
I don't think I did it
Then what's in your hard drive?
Yeah Ben what's in your hard drive?
Yeah Ben
Hey
JianHao
Look at what I found
Ooh what's this?
Do you want to go island exploring after school?
Island exploring?
Just the both of us?
Did I hear something about an island?
You guys shouldn't go
You know with all the mosquitoes
Sweat
The water
Splish splash
Sounds interesting can I come?
Of course you can
You're always invited
Ooh an island can I come?
Did someone say an island?
An island
Count me in
I've never been to an island before
I want to go
I guess everyone's coming
Ren Yi Xiang
We are going to an island after school
Do you want to come?
Nah
I am going to Titan Academy's After School Programme
Titan Academy has After School Programme?
The teachers introduced it to me
And ever since then I have been hanging out there
You see
Being home alone kind of sucks
There is no internet at home
Because the bills don't get paid on time
And the house is such a mess
And I will try my best to clean it up but it gets messy again
And it's impossible to be in it
That's why
I rather hang out in school
There are nice and quiet areas for me to study
Teachers and volunteers to help me out with my homework
And who knows
Maybe this year I will pass my exams
And when I don't feel like studying
There are other activities for me to do so
Like Table Tennis
So you rather stay in school than going island hopping with us?
I would love to join you guys
But the thing is
I've promised Mr Mabuhay that I'll play Table Tennis with him
I can't go back on my words
So I'm looking forward to it
You know
Surprisingly for a guy who is very good at boxing
He is very bad at Table Tennis
So I guess island exploring another day?
I guess another time
Alright I'll hold on to that
Alright guys show's over
Show's over
Get back to your seats
I guess another time
Alright class
Ren Yi Xiang welcome back
Yup it is good to be back
So what are we doing today?
Table Tennis?
Okay but...
We need to do your homework first
Alright Mr Mabuhay
And then we play Table Tennis
I'm still going to beat you at Table Tennis
