The moment had finally descended upon the students of Sunway University College; or the college freshmen rather- Finals exams. That one barrier to delirium that had caused widespread intensity in studying in and around college. With diverse forms of information stocked in their minds, it was time to see if they could apply what they had learnt successfully, or realise that all their hard work came to naught.
First on the list was English, the most fundamental of languages used to communicate in almost every country globally, and how apt it was that the topic of the essay was the English Language itself and pertinent cultures. Could it have been more straightforward? Unfortunately not, as Hans Basil, Sanya Dival, John Bow, Sue Anne, Angie Flo and Jay Dic found out, struggling to comprehend the discerning topic and comprehension. Whoever said English would be easy? If even the great Hans Basil was left stumped, how would the others fare?
As the abovementioned persons left college with bruised and battered emotions and mental tremors, none had the right frame of mind to get back to studying, especially Hans Basil and John Bow. The roommates skived through the afternoon lamenting the tough English paper and resting their bodies and minds. While the afternoon passed by uneventfully, the night packed plenty of surprises. Doesn't anyone know everything happens at night?
Having no paper to worry about the next day, Hans decided to pay a friendly visit to Nick Ivans, who was probably the happiest person in Sunway University College, if not earth. And not just because he did not have to worry about exams until the end of the week. Well, the little visit turned out to be a dizzying mistake, as Hans was about to discover.
As Hans and Nick basked in their pernicious activity, the latter's roommate, Shayne and his girlfriend, Hans' classmate Alicia, made an early return from their shopping trip. Whether they had weird thoughts about Hans and Nick being on the same bed was anyone guess, but what was definitely on their minds was Maths. As the couple deliberated about Mathematics, Hans failed to realise he was in too deep in his activity. Well, Play Boy was about to become Woozy Boy.
Leaving Nick's room with a pall of black air swirling in his lungs, Hans managed to lead himself back to his own room, where John was busy studying. Sensing something was amiss with his friend, John decided to investigate, and learned of the activities Hans had participated in. Hans had never been in this condition before, mind intoxicated, while in Sunway. And John was clearly enjoying the different side of Hans he, or anyone, had never seen. A return to the Dark Side? Or the Drunk Side?
After the effects had been extinguished, Hans decided to put off studying while John resumed his. While the pair engaged in friendly banters amidst their individual activities, Hans may have taken one joke too far that could prove costly in the downfall in their friendship. While taking potshots at and ribbing friends are common, there is a limit and boundary one has to get accustomed to, and Hans realised he had overstepped his, playing on a sensitive issue pertaining to John that completely left the latter engulfed in sorrow and deploration. What happens to this roller-coaster friendship now?
Preperations for Finals had left most of Hans' friends missing in action, isolated in their islands of obscurity. So it came as a pleasant surprise for Hans when Sanya Dival and Sue Anne both communicated with him through different means. While Sue's came via electronically, Sanya adopted the old fashion more practical approach-calling. The exes could've talked about more interesting issues, but Math and sleepovers probably suited them fine. And what was with the surprise message from Erin Faro July that left Hans all confused yet pleased? Will it have any significant bearing on his current status?
