George stares down into the busy streets as it is flooded with traffic and stalls.

George:Huh, rifts coincidentally spawning in our town...

George smirks as he reads the newspaper found on the ground at the rooftop of the school.

Josh:Doesn't it make you curious?

Josh smiles back to George as the wind blows towards their direction while dark clouds slowly overcasts the sky.

Ali:Curious? We are not horror movie characters, we're not stupid.

Ali crossed his arms as he spoke using a fierce tone.

Kaito:These rifts are amazing...-GUYS!I've got an idea!

Kaito was grinning with excitement as he was leaning towards the wall.

Philip:Go on, we'll give you a listen. 

Kaito:Let's just break in and discover what those rifts even are!

Kaito points towards the silent neighbourhood that is near the rift.

George bites his lips as he was thinking about the idea Kaito gave.

George:Hmm, sounds stupid, but FUN.

Ali:Okay, maybe we are the stupid horror movie characters!

As Ali said in a sarcastic tone.

Josh:It might be a bad idea, but I like it.

Philip crossed his arms and stared down into the empty green field of the school.

Philip:Our odds aren't great, we either get caught and end up in serious trouble or we die in there. 

Kaito:I know! We sneak in at night,when our parents are asleep! A perfect plan. 

Philip hesitated while staring at Kaito,overwhelmed with fear.

Philip:I really don't think this is the wisest solution. Are you absolutely sure?

Josh:We can use you for the mastermind and planner,Philip. While Ali and Kaito will handle our supplies and weapons, me and George will lead the team.

Ali raised his eyebrow.

Ali:Sounds good, how about you George?

George:Well I'm down, how about you Kaito?

Kaito pats at Philip's shoulder.

Kaito:Honestly a major loss if you're missing out on such a massive moment. OF COURSE I'M IN!

Philip sighed and looked up into the buildings of the city.

Philip:Very well... but I won't be held responsible if we're caught.

George grins.

George:That's all of us. Let's go!

Josh:Alright, what's the plan here?

Kaito:How about carrying out the breach on the weekends? I'll gather the information about the location!

Ali raises both of his hands while raising his eyebrows.

Ali:Sure why not, my parents are going to the cinemas so I'm in the clear.

George daps with Ali,with the sound echoing through the empty corridors of the school.

George:Same here. I finished my homework for the weekend!

Philip:I'm free too...I guess.

Josh:Same. Let's do it!

As Josh said in a confident tone,while giving a thumbs up to make him seem like he's ready.

Kaito snapped his fingers with a brilliant idea in mind.

Kaito:Perfect! We'll meet together at Danny's Pizzeria on Saturday at 9.30pm.

George stares into the sky, noticing the dark orange sky and the sun slowly descending into the hills.

George:Guys...the sun's disappearing into the hills and we're still up here.

Josh:Oh no... Weren't we hiding the test paper answers?

Ali:Guys...THE SECURITY GUARD IS HERE!RUN!

Kaito:RUN DUDE!BEFORE WE GET CAUGHT!

The group ran with loud footsteps and racing heartbeats.

George muttered in a panic as they raced down the stairs.

George:Did the security guard finally start working out? Why is he running so fast?!

The security guard shouted as he was gasping for air.

Security Guard:HEY! STOP RUNNING BRATS!

The group kept running as if they're running for their lives.

Philip uses the keys and twists the lock on the door.

Security Guard: WHERE ARE MY KEYS?!

George:*Gasping for air*...Smart one Phil!

Philip:Indeed, we might've been caught if not for my quick thinking.

Josh:Phew… we barely got away…

Ali:Haha! Weaklings! That was the easiest run I had in my life! Hah…*Coughs*

Hongdae:Don't need to lie,Ali.We all know that you are faking it.

Ali:Welp,you got me.

Philip:Guys, don't get distracted. The security guard might catch up to us. Quick!

George:Alright guys! Let's get out of here!

The loud footsteps by the students can be heard all over throughout the school. As if their lives depended on it.

The students burst out with relief and exhaustion.

George:Fuhh…Finally we got out at last!

George sighed as a sign of relief.

Kaito:It's getting late, we should return home as quickly as possible. Our parents are worried sick.

Kaito looks up into the sky full of stars and buildings with bright light.

Ali:Remember—9:30 pm tomorrow. See you tomorrow guys!!

Ali waves his hand with eyes full of excitement.
