In the afternoon the school bells ring to tell the students school day is over!
As the students start to move around in the hallways, going to their lockers and packing their book bags, Iris and Co. walked together to the front school door as they chat about good ol' times.

Azura's nose is still in the same book while Iris and Isabell chat with each other as they walk through the doorways; Iris nodded to Isabella's words of wisdom "Remember to keep that paper on you this time Iris as it can help you out a lot.." but before she can say anything else.
Azura butt in with a comment "If she doesn't lose it again.." Iris's rube eyes flash a death stare at her as Isabell chuckles.

The trio walk down the stairs as the two girls gossip over their classes as Azura sigh a few times as they tend to make him join in to the chat but he finds this a unnecessary.

On the last step as Azura was answering some of Isabell's question, as it seems he has the highest grades and top-notch scores on tests, Iris pulls out a phone from her bookbag and start to put in her father's phone number.

Waiting on the phone for her dad to pick up as the other students are already in their parent's cars and some of them are heading to the school bus but her father hasn't picked up the phone.

Azura looks away from his book to Iris as she sighed "What's wrong Is?" As Isabella's facial expressions show the same concern to Azura's question.
Iris chuckled a little bit as she puts the phone up "It's ok guys, it's just my dad isn't picking up... he must be busy" as a sigh came out of the end of her sentence.

Azura start to walk off, shoving his book into a back pocket, and waves Iris to follow him "You don't live that far, right Is?" Isabell nodded and start to go to the same pace as Azura "If I remember correctly.. you do live close to me right? And that's just a few miles from school~!" said in a caring tone.
Iris, being pulled by Isabella's hand, didn't have the time to respond as they're already half way from the front gate.

As Azura waits for the two girls to keep up with him.. something seem to bother him a bit as he looks away from the two... and this made Isabell worried.
Isabell went to Azura as he looks around the gate area and asked him "Azura, is everything alright?"
Her worried expression made him blush a bit as he coughs "Ah-hmm... Yeah I just remember something.. can you take Is home for me Bell?" But before Isabell was able to reply Azura dashed from her site.

Iris walks up behind Isabell with a pondering look "Hey Bell, what's wrong with Blue? Is he ok?" Isabell chuckled sweetly as she pats the short brunette's head "Yes sweetie, it's just he has something to do that's all.. now let's head home!" Again Isabell takes the lead as a puzzled Iris wondered what made Azura gone off in a hurry?

A few hours passed as they walk down the road from the school the two girls spend still are chatting it up on how their lives has changed.

Stopping at a stop sign Iris has spoke about their first meeting "Yeah.. I remember when father use to take me to the church you live in when we're children" Isabell nodded "Ah, yes, when we first declared each other as sisters?

That was long ago.." They both look both ways and cross the street as there are no cars coming up "I remember Uncle Hope always talk to dad about something important... by the way how is Uncle Hope?" Isabella's eyes look away from bit with a hint of sadness "He's not getting better... the infection that made his arm unusable is spreading slowly.. and the doctors don't know how to cure it yet".

Iris moves her eyes to the ground "Oh.. at least he's still cheerful.." Isabell nodded and stopped in front of a big chapel and looks at Iris "Well this is my stop sweetie, Your home is just one more block away ok?" They both hugged and said their goodbyes "Iris, don't forget to visit us! Tell Uncle Tran I miss him".

Letting go of the embrace Iris nodded and start to walk away "I'll tell daddy! Take care Bell!" as she's resumes the way to home Isabell runs up to the chapel doors and open them to go into the building.

All by herself she keeps going down the sidewalk humming a sweet tune as she see her home in the horizon. While walking down the said route to her home an eerie feeling came from behind her making Iris turn her head a bit to see what's behind her... but nothing was there so the brunette resumes the walk as her house seems to be close.

But the same eerie feeling seem to come back, making Iris walk bait faster, the feeling of being close in keeps pushing her from a normal walk to a fast stride.
Hearing footsteps closing in on her she went to a complete panic and ran to her house, scared to see what's behind her! As she see her house, she turns around to see what is behind her but as she just turn her head something bumped into her!

She screamed and look what she ran into... it was her dad! looking at his panicking child Tran helped her up and looked around. looking up to him "D-daddy?" this made Tran look at her "What's wrong? Are you ok Iris?" Looking at her with some concern she shakes her head and smile, "Oh, it's noting daddy~ Let's go home~!" Grabbing onto his hand she walks in front of him to go into their small house.

In the background there was a shadow hiding behind a tree, "damn it.. I'll get her next time".
