The Ball

Chapter 5
How?

Len's Perspective

It was a pen. A PEN! The one that Jun bought from the gift shop, and showed it to him! Wait, why was Jun's pen doing in his bag? AH! Jun must've tried to poison him, and then he accidentally dropped it in the bag! But…wait. Len stared at the pen for 10 whole seconds, making sure his eyes were not playing tricks on him. The pen was golden. Golden? No…the one Jun bought was a silver pen…and what's more, the package here was red, and Jun's was supposed to be blue. No, it's either I saw wrong back then, or now, Len thought. He must've seen wrong back then…No! His perfect chance to get at Jun was fading away…but how? Len started getting stupid ideas, the pen changing colour and such. But…How?

Rin's Perspective

The next day, Jun approached her.

"Hey Rin, I have a gift for you," He said.

"Oh?" She asked. Jun took out a thing, blue box from his pocket, and handed it to Rin. Rin opened it, and saw the most elegant silver pen.

"Wow…Um, thanks?"

"Oh, and do you want me and my family to pick you up, or would you go to the school yourself?" Jun asked.

"Um, I think I'll go myself."

"Alright," with that, Jun walked away. Rin stared at the pen. How lovely! She went home and kept it carefully.

Len's Perspective

Len got discharged from the hospital, one day after he fainted. His parents were on a job trip to somewhere faraway, but the hospital told him they had informed them. Now he was on his way back… The pen. How in the world, that the pen is golden? The design is the same, yet the colour…and there's also the colour of the box. Len couldn't think of an alternative, other than Jun trying to poison him… but then again…
