"How hot... is it?"

"Brother, let's move on."

In a small part of Seattle, a 1.75m-tall boy with blonde hair raised his hand to the sky, squinting, trying to look out at the sun. Why did it have to be so hot? Why did they have to go to school in such heat? Thinking about it, his brother Sam, who was only a year younger than him, pulled his arm, and Kai got back on track. Sam had blonde hair and blue eyes like him. Because their father's gene was so dominant, all the brothers looked like this. Whereas normally blue eyes and blond hair were supposed to be a reserved gene.

The older brother seemed very close to entering his teenage years. He could be a kid for now. His sibling was only 1 year younger. The brothers Sam and Kai were two young children who, despite their young age, looked quite good. Yet they were clearly incapable of attracting people's attention because they were negligent people.

Meanwhile, Kai and Sam's slow feet finally reached the bus stop. Kai came all the way absentmindedly to his brother's arm in need of his survival. Now, when he came to, he saw a bus stop full of gray floors and commercials. The commercials included a special chapter on serial killers, but Kai didn't take the time to pay attention to it and instead looked at the only person at the bus stop. There was a boy here with blonde hair. It was sullen and a little cold. He seemed to have a distant attitude towards people. Kai knew this person well. It was Jack who was one of his closest friends.

He came up behind him. He gestured for Sam to be quiet. Jack hadn't noticed him. He walked quietly up behind his mate;

"Fuck."

The fingers on Jack's waist were enough to make him leap into the air. Jack's lips pressed together and he lunged forward, almost throwing himself into the road. A very dissatisfied expression appeared on his face.

"Why don't you stop doing that, you know I don't like it," Jack whined. He could now see Sam coming up behind him.

Kai laughed. "I'm only doing it because I know you don't like it."

"Jack, why are you coming with us? "said Kai. He didn't mean to kick him out of the bus station when he said that, but he looked like he was. So he didn't want to be misunderstood, and just when he was going to fix himself, he realized that he didn't need to. Jack had it right.

"No, it's just that my dad had an emergency. "

After Jack said that, they didn't talk anymore, so they waited for the bus together. Jack looked up at Sam, who turned his head and tried to hide behind Kai as usual. In a book that he had read, he had seen over time that people had become self-conscious about these kinds of symptoms. Maybe he should've helped him a little.

"Hi, Sam, how are you?"

"I'm fine. "said Sam, shy. His shyness had no particular source. Over time, his life was shaped like this by people's attitudes to him. After all, he was nothing but a Kai-like look. But at least Kai was smart, and his grades were good. And yet Sam was too scared to even fix his appearance. He was a coward. But at least he wasn't alone.

"Weren't you going with the susan?"

Kai shook his head with Jack's question. Susans were a small form of cars and harmless both to the economy and the environment. Brothers often rode a susan to their school.

"His engine's broken," Kai said. That's why he had to walk in this heat.

Jack was one of Kai's best friends - there were only two - and Jack, Kevin and Kai were the best friends to get along with each other. Their whole life was spent together, and they were sort of the first friends of each other. They've been together since they were kids.

Their bus is here. When he got on the bus, the first thing that caught Kai's eye was Kevin's fat belly. He told him he was going to lose weight over the holidays. First, he'd drop the bad snacks and start eating salad. And he had a lot to discuss with him about it. Looks like he did what he said. In the past, Kevin was a lot fatter. He was obese. Now? He was much thinner than he was. There was still some oil on it, of course, but it could've been overlooked. Kevin also had blond hair and blue eyes. It was everywhere like an infectious disease. There were blond hair and blue eyes everywhere. Of course, all three had different shades. When Kai was the lightest, Kevin had the most enclosed hair color. I should mention that Kevin is quite a ladies' man, despite his weight.

Kai and the others went over to Kevin's place without saying anything and sat down next to him. They arrived at school.

Time has passed. They're in the fifth period right now. Finally, the bell rang, and for a few seconds, the classroom was completely empty. After all, their classroom was the exact location of the sun, and it was warm. Kai took a deep breath and prepared to study again. He was preparing for the graduate examination. He was able to make Jack look like himself. But Kevin liked being friends with girls better. Kai still could not understand his intentions, but Kevin and Jack were his closest friends. Of course, it didn't really matter what they were doing.

It's clear they both didn't realize the young boy was entering puberty at the time.

At that time, a big boy from a class of their side walked in. That was Seth. Seth was a kid with black hair and brown eyes. His face looked more mature than many his peers. Although his skin was quite pale, it was clear he was not ill. His body was much older than his peers, making him look a few years older. Most likely, even people from high schools didn't dare pick on him. Kai knew he had a pretty bad personality. This kid once again made fun of his classmates the whole rest of recess, had fun, and went back to class. The class Kai was in consisted of people with high grades. So none of them seemed particularly strong. Although a few of them were bigger, of course, not enough to compete with Seth. Kai was a handsome, Kevin-greasy, and Jack was an aggressive kid who couldn't control his anger. They couldn't physically challenge these kids.

Kai and the others went to class one more time. This time, when Kai saw his teachers come in with thick papers, he knew it was for testing. The results of the examination were to be announced once more.

"The examination results are in, children," the teacher entered. This was already an expected sentence, and the remaining sentences had come and gone as well. Those were encouraging words that nobody cared about. Unfortunately, no one was mature enough to take these words seriously. They were kids.

Normally, Kevin and Kai would be equally first. I mean, sometimes someone would have been number 1, but not so long ago, Kevin had lost interest in the lessons and taken them elsewhere. It was fast enough for Kai to pass him.

Everyone gathered around the results of the examination. And they began to read the results of the exam. It was only the first order they looked at, out of their order.

1st Kai 2nd Jack 3rd Kevin 4th Seth ...

Kai wasn't too surprised to see Jack come in second. Jack had been studying with Kai for a long time, and Kevin had moved on. Yet even Kevin, who had moved away from his studies, was not ashamed to show others how much he had made. Even if he didn't do anything, he was third.

Kai was just about to humorously praise Jack so he saw the look on his face. Then he closed his mouth back without saying anything. Apparently, Jack's excitement was only until he saw Kai take first place.

Actually, Kai had his eye more on number four. It wasn't good for Kai and the others that Seth was in fourth place. Kai took a look at Jack. He'll be thinking the same thing, looking at Kai anxiously. What they saw didn't make sense. That's when Kevin came. He saw the result of the examination. You could see in his eyes that he was as concerned as Kai and Jack. These kids weren't stupid. They could see that such a sequence was not possible.

"He can come to our class if he gets a high grade in the same way in the next exam. " said Kevin. But that's not what he was really worried about.

"You're right. What are we going to do?" In fact, things like this used to be no big deal for him, but Seth could be pushing higher-ups to keep them from getting low grades. Or something like that. It wasn't that hard to guess. This child could not succeed in his own work. It was hard-working people didn't like.

"There's nothing we can do for now," said Kai. Right now, he was the one the other two trusted most. The two looked at Kai. If anyone could come up with a plan, they'd trust him.

"What do you mean?" said Jack.

"There's nothing we can do. We'll just hope he gets a bad grade. If he's really winning by cheating, there's nothing we can do about it now. "said Kai. He had no plans, no ideas. He might have been weak, but he wasn't stupid. He knew he couldn't do anything right now.

"One of us watches Seth. Then we can see how he didn't get a bad grade. "he said it all of a sudden. Just because they couldn't do anything now doesn't mean they'd just sit around.

"I can't do it," said Kevin.

"Me too. " said Jack.

"Okay. "

The two turned to Kai.

"I'll do it. "

"Are you sure? If he catches you, he'll come after you. You can't stay out of your sight like you do now. " said Kevin. He was worried about his friend.

"Don't worry, he's so narrow-minded, he's certainly not going to notice it. "Kai said, "and that's over for a while.

***

It's been two weeks. They were going to have another test as a school. Kai and the others have been waiting for this for two weeks.

Five minutes left before the test began. Everyone was preparing for the test, and three of the friends had met once more.

"Are we ready?" asked Kai, who was asking Kevin and Jack when it should have been someone else.

"Are you ready? We'll already be in our class, you'll be in their class, Kai." He was worried about it, and a little scared. There was no way he wasn't worried about Kai.

"I still can't believe how teachers allow this. They know what Seth is like. It's a big problem that you even want to be in the same class with him."

"I asked them to do it. They insisted a little, but I finally convinced them. So it's not their fault."

The teacher was heard.

"Let's all settle for a class where there will be a test. "

"Wish me luck, boys," said Kai and then left the others and went into the classroom with Seth.

When Kai arrived at the classroom, everyone was seated. Kai sat in one of the back rows. Then he started watching Seth.

Solving the exam for Kai and being No. 1 was a very simple thing. As much as he used to have the same title as Kevin, there was a big difference between Kai and Kevin that happened back then. Kai would never put all his talent on the test. That's why he shouldn't have worried about it.

Half an hour passed the exam. Kai suddenly looked after Seth while he was taking the test. He knew what he was doing a short time ago. A girl in Kai's class was sitting next to him. Apparently Seth didn't have to deal with a little intimidation. Kai also realized that there was a certain level of copy transfer within the class, but it seems Seth didn't keep these grades high so the class didn't attract much attention. He persuaded everyone to do the same, allowing them to get low marks, but Kai and the others had forgotten them because they were too out of the picture during recess. Still, they were the only ones left in front of Seth. They were figures he couldn't forget anymore. They were new targets now. Kai and his friends were supposed to take precautions, and what happened next was the beginning of everything.
