All four boys sit down on the couches one of the students hand the guy in the middle a phone and he starts reading it out "Phupha Komolpetch of class 6/1". Another student hand the long-haired boy a laptop and the middle guy continues "A top student with a clean record. Never had any trouble."

The victim... Phupha struggles in the hold of another student. His face is pretty beaten up.

"You're a teacher's pet" he continues while standing up and walking towards Phupha "It's a shame that all that will be ruined just because you planned to expose what happened in this school." The leader of F4 shows Phupha all the proof he had against them in his phone.

He planned on exposing F4... but that was impossible. They have so much power over the people, it was impossible to go against them.

"Honestly, do you think I'm an idiot?" he looks at Phupha with a smirk on his face.

"So?" Phupha answers back... bad move. "The red card game is wrong" continues Phupha "No matter how hard you try to cover it up, you can't escape the truth. Remember this, Thyme. This evidence will not be lost." Phupha tells Thyme confidently.

"Oh?" asks Thyme sarcastically, and chuckles "You must have backed it up then. It will never be lost." Then suddenly all the evidence from Phupha's phone disappears.

All the evidence gone.

"So how has it just been wiped out?" says Thyme.

"How can you do that, Thyme!" Phupha screams and struggles against the hold of the student holding him down.

Thyme laughs at the view of Phupha struggling. Just then he hears a groan. He looks up to see a girl with crimson tint all over her face, you could see the anger coming out of her. Thyme looks at her when she stomps her foot and walks away.

-x-

"Why do you do this!?" screamed the same girl who was angry at Thyme when he was beating up Phupha.

"He had proof that could be used against us! What do you think I should have done?" Thyme asks her.

"How many times do I have to tell you, violence is never the answer!? you are such an idiot sometimes."

"And how many times do I tell you I don't care." Replies Thyme.

The girls sighs out of frustration and walks away.

"Prae! Where are you going now!" Thyme asked the angry girl walking away from him.

"Away from you!" she gave him a scary glare and opened the door

"How are you going home then?" he asked Prae.

"I'll figure it out!" with that Prae shut the door loudly on his face.

-x-

Praepailin was so pissed at Thyme. She had told him and all the other guys to take a down a tad bit. But none of them listened to her. The only person she could currently tolerate was Ren. He was different. He didn't like their ways as much as she did.

So, she made her way to his hideout... which was the rooftop.

When she was entering the rooftop, she bumped into a girl coming out. She had a confused look on her face.

The girl looked at her and immediately apologized "khor thoad kha Phi! I wasn't looking. You're not hurt, are you? I'm so sorry Phi!", Praepailin chuckled at the girl who was scared of her. "Mai pen rai Nong! You didn't do anything wrong!" she smiled at her lightly and the junior happily returned the gesture.

"Was there anyone at the rooftop?" asked Praepailin wondering where Ren was. The girl shook her head and said "No, I was all alone".

The girl was still scared of Praepailin... it was probably because of her clothes. They were expensive and weren't school uniforms, and the only people who didn't wear uniforms were F4 or just rich people, and that also meant that they were bad news.

Praepailin wanted to ease her tension so she introduced herself "I'm Praepailin, you can call me Prae." She smiled at the girl fondly and put her hand Infront for the other girl to shake, "Sawasdee P'Prae, I'm Gorya" and she shook her hand.

As soon as Gorya left the rooftop she made her way inside so that she can get some air and wait for Ren.

"I was wondering how long it will take for you to find me" said Ren who was sitting in his chair smiling at Prae.

Prae didn't return his kind gesture instead was startled because she wasn't expecting anyone to be there.

"Shia! Mung you scared me!" she cussed at her bestfriend and sat next to him.

She laid her head back on the chair and closed her eyes. The wind blowing on her face and hair calming the girl down.

"Let me guess, I'm your ride today?" asked Ren with a playful smirk on his face.

Prae just nodded, her eyes still closed.

"How long will this go on? Will they still do the same things even after we graduate?" sighed Praepailin.

"I hope not" mumbled Ren and chuckled light at the sight of the girl next to him almost asleep.

He let her sleep for a few more minutes and shook her up.

-x-

"Ai Prae!" he called out and shook her. She opened her eyes and started rubbing them gently to adjust at the harsh light.

"You only slept for 15 minutes but it took me so long to wake you up!" Ren complained but in a friendly tone.

"Hey! I'm just a heavy sleeper!" she said while simultaneously yawning.

-x-

Even though Praepailin was one of the richest people in her highschool, she had managed to stay out of all the drama. She had managed to stay invisible. She only had a few friends and she was friends with F4. No one interrupted her, she minded her own business as well.

She was a calm and collected person who liked keeping to herself. So, she usually didn't talk to anyone in her school. So, no one really knew that she knew F4.

-x-

"I don't wanna go in!" Praepailin complained "Can we go eat dinner or something?" she suggested, Ren rolled his eyes at her childish attempt of not going to her house.

"Come on! Just go in! maybe you won't fight with her today!" Ren tried to reassure her but it didn't work.

She just pouted and rolled her eyes "he's mad at me so he won't save me either! Why did my sister leaveeeee!?" complained Praepailin.

"Maybe you're Mae is in a good mood today?" Ren nudged Praepailin and continued "come on Prae, just go in".

Prae sighed and gave in. She hit Ren's shoulder, not too hard and left.

-x-

She made her way inside and thanked on of the people who worked for her family and made her way towards the dining room after freshening up.

"Sawasdee Mae" she greeted her mother who didn't bother waiting for her daughter and was already eating.

She didn't acknowledge her existence. She didn't even bother looking up from her food.

Praepailin simple sighed slowly and sat next to her brother. Even though he was mad at her, he still waited for her arrival to start his dinner.

One of the people set the plate and served her food. She nodded at them gratefully and ate in silence.

The only time their mother would talk to them, it would mostly be about business, and most of the time she didn't even bother telling Praepailin anything.

"There's a meeting tomorrow, I want you to sit with me and observe" their mother told Thyme.

Praepailin internally rolled her eyes. Sure, she didn't seem much interested in their business but it was her turn to sit in a meeting. She was actually looking forward to it. But as always, she kept her out of it.

Praepailin didn't know why her mother despised her so much. She didn't think... she knew. She was always so cold with her children but with Praepailin it was just worse... she was colder, meaner. Thyme and Tia noticed too. Thyme even pointed it out to their mother but that didn't make a difference. It just made things worse for Praepailin.

"Isn't it Prae's turn to sit now?" Thyme questioned their mother, which also made Praepailin choke on her water.

She gave him a 'how dare you! She's gonna kill me now! Don't be a traitor, brother!' look.

But Thyme didn't care, he wanted his sister to be equally a part of the business, just like he and Tia were.

When their mother heard Thyme back answer her she put her chopsticks down, and the sound it produced made the hair on Praepailin's back stick out with terror.

"What did you say?" she asked her son, making him change his answer.

Thyme didn't let it go "I said, isn't it Prae's turn to sit now?".

"I tell you what to do and you don't question me! I have given all of you everything! So be grateful and do as I say!" their mother replied sharply.

"And you!" Roselyn Paramaanantra glared at her daughter.

Praepailin slowly faced her mother with terror in her eyes, her hands were shaking as she slowly put them under the table so Roselyn wouldn't notice them.

"Do you want to sit in the meeting?" Roselyn asked her daughter.

She looked at her mother and then her brother, who also held the same confused expression on her face. Was her mother really going to give her a chance?

But she knew better, she slowly shook her head gesturing a no.

The last time her mother had asked her something which she agreed to the consequences were terrible. She had gotten scolded terribly by their mother she didn't come out of her room for days. Thyme and Ren tried so hard to get her to leave but it was only when Thyme called Kavin and MJ to come over and cheer her up she finally stepped out of her room.

"Just like I thought." Said Roselyn and looked back at Thyme who was looking at Praepailin who had her head down, "you are sitting in the meeting. End of discussion".

(ik Thyme's mom comes back from Singapore the day or something. But bear with me lol)

-x-

"It's your turn! You should fight for your right!" Thyme whispered yelled at his twin sister, Praepailin looked around hoping their mother or any of them who work for her were around. She sighed and opened the door of her room and let Thyme in before closing the door.

"You don't get it! She clearly doesn't want me there! She has made it crystal clear. P'Tia and you are all she expects something to do. She doesn't care Thyme! Stop trying to make her change her mind which is already made up!" Praepailin told her brother in a calm and sad tone, for that he just huffed and looked at the door and his sister again.

He just wanted her to have the same rights he and his other sister did. He didn't want his sister to treated like how she was treated. It hurt for him so much to see his sister sad. Even if they were twins, he always looked at her like his younger. He wanted her to be happy. She was never treated equally and he hated it. He hated it so much! Even if he tried to confront his mother about it, their mother would put Praepailin through hell. He tried, he tried so hard putting his sister before everything, but her life just wouldn't get better. Maybe it would be better when they grow up. All he knew now was to protect her from everyone and everything he could.

"Khor Thoad" he apologized and continued "I just wanted her to make you sit there too. I know you were looking forward to it" he said calmy. She put her head on his shoulder and sighed "I know..." she said and they stayed there for a few moments until her phone rang.

She opened it and it was a reminder she had set to play her favorite game with Thyme.

She opened the game on her phone and looked at Thyme doing the same.

(the vr set thyme plays with in the next episode.)

They sat hours playing that one game they played since their childhood. Even after their fights that game would always bring them back together.

-x-

Praepailin was in her math class bored out of her mind... she was procrastinating. She didn't want to listen to the lecture so she let her mind wander around. She was in a totally different class from the boys so she had no friends here. People in her class probably didn't even know her existence which worked out for her. People wouldn't just be friends with her cause of her money or for trying to date her brother or her friends.

She had to step out of her daze as she heard her name being called out through the intercoms.

"Praepailin Paramaanantra please enter the director's office" she heard.

She stepped out of her bench and asked her teacher to excuse her.

When she was walking, she didn't feel anxious or scared because she knew she wasn't in any trouble, she was on one the good students who stayed out of it.

She stepped inside and saw Kavin sitting in front of the director, she knocked as the principal gestured for her to come inside.

"Have a seat" the director told her as Praepailin stepped inside was wai'd at him. (Wai is a what their greeting is called).

"We have looked your grades and we are happy to tell you that you are this year's valedictorian, and we would like the both of you to give a speech."

She furrowed her eyebrows in question and looked at Kavin. Sure... he did well in school, but being a valedictorian? Deffinately not... he was probably made valedictorian because of his powers. Which she didn't really care.

"Can Kavin be the only one giving the speech?" she asked slowly. The director furrowed his brows at her and asked "are you sure?" for that she just nodded.

They were asked to leave when all the matters have been discussed about the graduation.

"Valedictorian ah?" Kavin asked Praepailin while slowly nudging her, "I can say the same about you" she rolled her eyes.

It was almost lunch time so they were walking towards the place where the boys usually ate "You eating with us?" asked Kavin and Praepailin just nodded.

"Without your status I would probably have to be the one giving the speech so thank god you're rich" she joked. Kavin rolled his eyes as he hit the back of her head.

"Harsh much?" he asked her.

"Harsh, but the truth." she grinned.

The two of them were making their way to the canteen when Praepailin screamed "I forgot my stuff in class" she ran off to the direction of the classroom making Kavin just laugh at her forgetfulness.

-x-

By the time Praepailin was making her way back she saw some girl crying in front of Thyme asking for his forgiveness.

She looked down at Thyme's shoes. He wore his weird looking diamond shoes which were imported, they were stained with spaghetti. She internally said uh oh and made her way towards the boy to stop him from doing anything he regrets.

"Lick it! Lick it! Lick it!" she heard people chanting "absolutely not" she said to herself before walking towards Thyme.

But before she could some girl put her hand on the table aggressively to stop people from chanting "bad move!" Praepailin thought. She didn't see who the girl was until she stood up.

It was N'Gorya, the girl she ran into yesterday. The girl who was getting bullied was probably her friend.

Gorya walked towards Thyme "what are you doing?" he asked her, she didn't respond "answer me!" he screamed making Gorya look up at him.

"I think it's too much" Gorya answered. Instant regret hitting her for standing up for her friend, but by the looks of it she wasn't backing out.

"What did you say?" he asked Gorya, this was it she wouldn't let him hurt her.

"Stop!" she screamed as she made the run for it and stood between Gorya and Thyme.

"It's enough!" Praepailin told Thyme.

"Move" he told his sister but she wouldn't budge.

She gave him a death glare.

He looked at her and Gorya as Gorya said "I said I think its too much! You can see my friend didn't mean to! Can you please forgive her?"

The twins and the rest of the gang looked at Gorya, shocked at her courage, "sure" said Thyme.

He walked over to her friend and mumbled something inaudible to Praepailin. So, she looked at Gorya and gave her a sad smile before going towards Thyme and dragging him and the rest of the boys followed.

"I swear to god Thyme! You can't not handle it can you" she almost screamed, everyone heard her standing up for the girls.

People were confused. No one actually knows anything about her. No one actually knew that in fact she and Thyme were twins.

-x-

"Can't you control yourself!?" Praepailin sighs out of exhaustion "this shit is really getting out of hand". Thyme rolls his eyes and looks at his angry sister glaring all at the boys

"And don't even get me started on you three! Jezz can't you three saleleo's stop him!?".

MJ looks at her...genuinely scared of Praepailin "um... I did tr- try?" he says in a quiet tone. Thyme, Kavin and Ren chuckle at MJ's attempt to save himself from the girl.

-x-

After all that drama Praepailin decided to lay low. She hated attention. It gave her so much anxiety. She was done for the day. She was packing up in her locker room when she heard some people talking about the red card. She didn't have the strength to fight the boys.

But it didn't take her even a minute to change her mind. She heard Gorya's name.

"Thyme gave her a red card?" she thought.

She went upto those people and asked them about it. She was indeed right. Thyme did give her a red card.

-x-

Instead of trying to beat some sense into his useless walnut shaped brain she tried to find Gorya. She didn't know why, but she had this urge to protect her. Even though she just met her she had this weird sibling like feeling towards her. She knew she had to save from her brother's nonsense games. She was too good for that. She didn't deserve his constant threat. Praepailin remembered how Roselyn her own mother treated her daughter. She didn't want Gorya to go through that with anyone.

She had become like her younger sister... even though she just met her.

She started looking for her. They had already started attacking her. Praepailin's heart pained for that poor girl going through their shit.

Thyme had never given a girl the red card. It wasn't like the card was gender neutral... but it was just so unexpected of him.

She went into the rooftop hoping she could find her and get her out of there.

She ran into a few people on the way there...

"What are you doing?" a random girl asked her harshly.

"Why? Do you own the rooftop?" Praepailin sassed back.

The people standing in front of her just rolled their eyes and left.

She went inside and was making her way to the place she and Ren always sat. She saw Ren standing out, his face looked alarmed.

"Oh, it's just you!" he sighed.

"Is that supposed to be a compliment?" she raised her eyebrows at him playfully. "What's wrong?" she asked Ren as she made his way towards him.

She saw just the person she was looking for Gorya.

"N'Gorya! Are you okay?" she ran towards her and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.

They hid there and waited for the day to get over. When it finally did they started to leave.

"Khop khuna P'Prae" Gorya thanked Praepailin and in return she just smiled at her.

-x-

They made their ways towards the exit but then a few guys grabbed them.

Both struggling to find a way out of their grasps... but couldn't. they ended up in a weird shady storage area.

"I swear to god you are going to regret it so much! Do you not know who I am!?" she screamed at the boy who was holding her down. But Praepailin was strong, at least strong enough to try to take them down.

She
