Chapter 1- A New Friend?
All the boys look scared, they look from one side to the other, but Ana is hiding behind a wall, she stays crouched and hidden, but then a police siren starts to sound, all the boys get scared, and decide to run away in a stampede, Luke and Justin don't understand, looking at the log on fire, but quickly decide to run away too, when they are going to the path to pass through the gap in the wall, they come across Ana, they are surprised looking at each other's faces.
Ana then stands in front of the gap in the wall and opens her arms to stop Luke and Justin from leaving.
"What are you doing? You're blocking the exit!"
Ana confirms:
"That's right, you're not getting out of here!"
Justin tries to reason with Ana, but Ana is unyielding in her decision not to let them escape.
"No, you're not leaving, today we're going to put an end to your abuse!"
Luke looks even angrier, he even tries to push Ana, but gives up for fear of hurting her:

"What are you doing? You're blocking the exit!"
Ana confirms:
"Damn, it's you again. It's nothing like you think, if you don't get out of our way we're all going to the police station today!"
Ana persists with her arms open, while looking at the policemen coming:
"Well, the three of us will go then, nobody leaves here!"
The policemen go to meet the three, they shout at them to stand still, drop their backpacks, and they are taken to the police car, the three are taken to the police station, Luke is visibly very angry, he looks a little bruised on his face, Justin also has some bruises on his face, but Justin feels pain in his wrist directly, he probably has an injury, This is bad because he trains with archery, and he needs his hand to train, the three of them are taken to the police station, Ana sits on the bench across the corridor, she showed the policeman the photos and video she filmed of the fight, but she can't say who started it, she can't accuse them of something she's not sure about, she just reported what she saw as a witness.
It's been an hour at the police station, Luke and Ana avoid making eye contact at all costs, Justin even tries to talk to Ana, but at this point it won't do much good, they wait for the Beckers' defense lawyer to leave the room, when the lawyer finally comes out, he shakes the policeman's hand, it seems that everything is settled, Luke and Justin have no history of violence and no police tickets, Ana waits to be released since she was the witness, she notices that the lawyer is talking to Luke and Justin, he greets them, asks if they're okay, and offers to take them to the hospital to check Justin's injured wrist, Ana looks at the lawyer's document folder and recognizes it:
(Wait a minute, do I know this person, Dad? That's really my dad over there, damn it, what's he doing saying hello to those two...)
Mr. Bianchi then looks seriously at Ana, as if he were shooting her with his eyes, he shakes his head in the negative, and calls her to leave, Ana gets up and goes to her father, the three of them walk and get into Ana's father's car, she gets in the front seat with her father, and Justin and Luke get in the back seat, Luke and Ana still don't make eye contact with each other.
Ana's father quickly arrives at the University Hospital, which also belongs to the Becker Group, Ana notices the name of the Hospital, and remembers that it is the same name as the school, and remembers the name of the Director of the School "Becker", she looks a little confused, they then get out of the car, the two go straight into the VIP sector, Ana sits down in the Hospital Lobby and starts writing in her notebook, meanwhile Luke and Justin check in, after another hour, Justin comes back with his arm in a cast, he had a small dislocation in his wrist, but will need rest for a few days, Luke gets all desperate, he hasn't left Justin's side for anything, he takes a glass of water and gives it to Justin to drink and says:
"Bro, damn it, your hand, what if it gets in the way when you go to the doctor?"
"Damn, I should have been more attentive!"
Justin sips the water and calms him down:
"Relax bro, it'll be fine again soon.... and I don't even know if I'll be able to be a doctor one day, especially if we pass the Awakening Test, so don't worry, it's nothing."
They wait for Ana's father to check out at the hospital reception, he goes to pay for the treatment but is told that the medical costs are on behalf of the Becker Group, for a moment he forgets this detail, but he feels guilty somehow and wants to apologize in some way, when he calls Mr. Han Becker from his cell phone, because he has been invited to work for the Becker Group and has been called in today to defend the children. Han Becker, because he had been invited to work for the Becker Group and was called in today to defend the boys, he has been the Becker family's main lawyer since they returned to the city, he then tells him that he is going to take the boys home to rest, he apologizes several times, then hangs up the phone.
Ana sits on the bench in the Entrance Hall waiting for them, and continues to write in her notebook absent-mindedly, while she waits for her father to return with the boys to see the doctor, she then listens and notices that her Father apologizes several times, both on his cell phone and to the boys.
"I'm sorry about what happened, kids, it won't happen again, I'm sorry, I'll be taking you home, Mr. Han Becker is waiting for you at home, please come with me."
Justin seems reassured about this, Luke listens and then answers him:
"Don't worry Mr. Bianchi, it wasn't your fault, we got into a fight, we were caught trying to escape, if we had escaped, we wouldn't be here..."
He looks for a second at the seated Ana, he still seems quite annoyed, Ana listens to them talk, but continues to avoid eye contact with Luke. Ana's father asks them to follow him to the car, when he turns back and says:
"Ana, I told you to stop writing in that notebook, come on, we need to get Mrs. Beckers home!"
Ana promptly closes her notebook, getting a little flustered, she stands up while trying to catch the last thing her father said.
(Wait... did he say Becker? She remembers the Hospital sign, and also the name on the school sign...Becker? The job invitation card my father received said "Becker Group"...wait...are you telling me that these two are from the Becker family? Anaaaa, you crazy woman....you must not be right in the head! My father could have been fired...God, I'll never see the light of day again now, RIP Ana...)
