The exam results were posted on the school board, and everyone gathered to see their marks.
Mark noticed that his friend Ooka had failed. She got a "D" in the subject Fake Relationship.
Mark himself had only scored thirty points because Larry kept distracting him with her silly behavior.
The following week, the student council announced a beach trip.
The council president, Ominus, called Mark, Ooka, Larry, and Emino to join.
After bathing, Mark told Larry to get ready quickly.
When she came out, she was wearing a short dress that revealed parts of her body.
Mark frowned. "What are you doing? Why aren't you wearing proper clothes?"
Larry sighed. "I loved someone, but he rejected me. He's happy in a fake relationship with a girl named Emino. The boy's name is Ominus."
"Oh," said Mark. "So you like our student council president?
"
"Yes," she admitted softly.
Mark said, "Then go change your clothes. If you're not happy, maybe we should change our partners."
Larry smirked. "Fine. But we must reach first rank if we want that."
Then she teased, "Don't you think I'm hot, sexy, or cute?" She leaned over him, sitting on his lap.
Mark blushed. "You love someone else—why are you doing this with me?"
Larry whispered, "Because you love seeing girls in short clothes. I've seen how you look at them."
Mark replied firmly, "No. I'm not that kind of guy. You're misunderstanding me."
She went silent, but suddenly tried to unbutton his shirt. Mark's heartbeat quickened, and his nose started bleeding.
He pushed her away and said, "Love is not about the body. I love from soul to soul, not by beauty. Understand that."
He went to his room, turned off the light, and tried to sleep—but Larry's face kept flashing in his mind.
The next morning, Ominus, Ooka, Mia, and Emino came to pick them up for the beach.
Mark was still asleep while Larry tried on her black bikini.
When he woke up, he shouted, "Larry! What are you wearing?"
"Come here, darling," she said playfully. "Help me tie my bikini string."
Mark sighed. "Fine, but hurry up—someone's been knocking for five minutes."
Larry smiled. "Okay, but remember, I'll wear this bikini only for you."
Mark's nose started bleeding again. She laughed uncontrollably.
When he opened the door, Ominus teased, "What's taking so long? Were you two having sex?"
Mark turned red. "No! The bathroom door got stuck, and Larry helped me out. She got wet when the shower turned on accidentally."
Ominus smirked. "Behave like an adult, Mark," he said, patting his shoulder.
Larry came out, greeted everyone politely, and they all left for the beach.
Ominus announced, "I've booked a bus for four days. Mark, you'll drive."
Mark hesitated, "I'm not feeling well."
Ominus grinned. "Don't worry, your ex Larry will sit beside you."
Everyone laughed as the bus rolled out. Mark drove perfectly.
By 6 PM, they reached the hotel. Ominus told him to park the bus carefully.
The hotel manager welcomed them and said, "Couples should stay together—it strengthens your bond."
Ominus agreed. "Perfect. It also saves money."
Mark and Larry's room had the best view—moonlight glimmered across the waves.
At 8 PM, the staff called everyone for dinner.
After the meal, Ominus smiled, "See you all tomorrow at the beach."
