Updates will be made as soon as possible.That is all for the mysterious rifts, stay safe people.
George stares down into the busy streets as it is flooded with traffic and stalls.
George:Huh, rifts coincidentally spawning in our town...
George smirks as he reads the newspaper found on the ground at the rooftop of the school.
Josh:Doesn't it make you curious?
Josh smiles back to George as the wind blows towards their direction while dark clouds slowly overcasts the sky.
Ali:Curious? We are not horror movie characters, we're not stupid.
Ali crossed his arms as he spoke using a fierce tone.
Kaito:These rifts are amazing...-GUYS!I've got an idea!
Kaito was grinning with excitement as he was leaning towards the wall.
Philip:Go on, we'll give you a listen.
Kaito:Let's just break in and discover what those rifts even are!
Kaito points towards the silent neighbourhood that is near the rift.
George bites his lips as he was thinking about the idea Kaito gave.
George:Hmm, sounds stupid, but FUN.
Ali:Okay, maybe we are the stupid horror movie characters!
As Ali said in a sarcastic tone.
Josh:It might be a bad idea, but I like it.
Philip crossed his arms and stared down into the empty green field of the school.
Philip:Our odds aren't great, we either get caught and end up in serious trouble or we die in there.
Kaito:I know! We sneak in at night,when our parents are asleep! A perfect plan.
Philip hesitated while staring at Kaito,overwhelmed with fear.
Philip:I really don't think this is the wisest solution. Are you absolutely sure?
Josh:We can use you for the mastermind and planner,Philip. While Ali and Kaito will handle our supplies and weapons, me and George will lead the team.
Ali raised his eyebrow.
Ali:Sounds good, how about you George?
George:Well I'm down, how about you Kaito?
Kaito pats at Philip's shoulder.
Kaito:Honestly a major loss if you're missing out on such a massive moment. OF COURSE I'M IN!
Philip sighed and looked up into the buildings of the city.
Philip:Very well... but I won't be held responsible if we're caught.
George grins.
George:That's all of us. Let's go!
Josh:Alright, what's the plan here?
Kaito:How about carrying out the breach on the weekends? I'll gather the information about the location!
Ali raises both of his hands while raising his eyebrows.
Ali:Sure why not, my parents are going to the cinemas so I'm in the clear.
George daps with Ali,with the sound echoing through the empty corridors of the school.
George:Same here. I finished my homework for the weekend!
Philip:I'm free too...I guess.
Josh:Same. Let's do it!
As Josh said in a confident tone,while giving a thumbs up to make him seem like he's ready.
Kaito snapped his fingers with a brilliant idea in mind.
Kaito:Perfect! We'll meet together at Danny's Pizzeria on Saturday at 9.30pm.
George stares into the sky, noticing the dark orange sky and the sun slowly descending into the hills.
George:Guys...the sun's disappearing into the hills and we're still up here.
Josh:Oh no... Weren't we hiding the test paper answers?
Ali:Guys...THE SECURITY GUARD IS HERE!RUN!
Kaito:RUN DUDE!BEFORE WE GET CAUGHT!
The group ran with loud footsteps and racing heartbeats.
George muttered in a panic as they raced down the stairs.
George:Did the security guard finally start working out? Why is he running so fast?!
The security guard shouted as he was gasping for air.
Security Guard:HEY! STOP RUNNING BRATS!
The group kept running as if they're running for their lives.
Philip uses the keys and twists the lock on the door.
Security Guard: WHERE ARE MY KEYS?!
George:*Gasping for air*...Smart one Phil!
Philip:Indeed, we might've been caught if not for my quick thinking.
Josh:Phew… we barely got away…
Ali:Haha! Weaklings! That was the easiest run I had in my life! Hah…*Coughs*
Hongdae:Don't need to lie,Ali.We all know that you are faking it.
Ali:Welp,you got me.
Philip:Guys, don't get distracted. The security guard might catch up to us. Quick!
George:Alright guys! Let's get out of here!
The loud footsteps by the students can be heard all over throughout the school. As if their lives depended on it.
The students burst out with relief and exhaustion.
George:Fuhh…Finally we got out at last!
George sighed as a sign of relief.
Kaito:It's getting late, we should return home as quickly as possible. Our parents are worried sick.
Kaito looks up into the sky full of stars and buildings with bright light.
Ali:Remember—9:30 pm tomorrow. See you tomorrow guys!!
Ali waves his hand with eyes full of excitement.

Kaito:Did you guys come prepared?
Kaito takes out a bag full of tools.
Ali:Who cares? We got five people. How could one stop us when they are clearly outnumbered!
Philip:Well you never know what's lurking in the rift…
Philip's lips went dry.
Josh:It could be something stronger than what we expected, but it's fine, I mean you guys have me on your team. The greatest footballer in Hoshizora!
Josh points to himself with confidence.
George:Enough chit-chatting! We have no time to waste!
George covers the mouth of Josh with his palm.
Ali:Let's go!
Kaito:It's okay if you didn't come prepared, me and Ali had prepared. Come on, I'll be the guide to the area.
Ali:I can't wait to see what's inside the rift!
Ali points towards the direction of the rift.
George:Same!
Philip:I hope we don't die in there…
Philip stares far into the dark neighbourhood while having trembling hands.
Josh:Don't worry Phil. Like I said we are an unstoppable team!
Josh pats Philip's shoulder with his warm hand.
Philip stares at the ground, a strong breeze chilled the entire squad.
George:Oh come on, Phil! Aren't you thrilled for our bizarre adventure?
Philip:...
Philip was stunned, his heart thumped like thunder.
George takes a deep breath and looks up into the dark sky overcast by dark clouds.
George:(I can't wait to write my adventure in my diary after this!)
-George's Diary-
Date:November 9th,2014
Hello! I'm George Fujimura. I'm currently 14 years old! I decided to start writing my very own diary from now on. I can write my unforgettable memories into this diary! I can't wait for tomorrow because I'm going on a bizarre adventure with my best friends. This is George signing off.
As we walked through the neighbourhood,it was all empty and quiet,everyone had left for a temporary distance from the rift.The neighbourhood was built since the 1900's.It reminds me of something…,my grandfather's house.
-George's mind-
I'm George Fujimura .I lost my grandfather at the age of 8. He was extremely kind and he always treated kids like a valuable treasure to him. Everyone in my neighbourhood loved him. To me, he was the greatest man I could ask for in my life.
The day he died, I isolated myself in my room for a few days. When I finally moved on,I realised. Life wasn't as good as before when my grandfather was still alive. I was always lonely at home since I was a single child. I even skipped school for a few days trying to move on, but it kept getting worse. The silence in the house is drastically destroying my mood everyday. I lost my appetite and even my own pride...My grandfather would always accompany me when I was lonely. I had no friends at school. Until after the day my grandfather died, it was a cold December and my family was celebrating Christmas.He left the last Christmas present for me.
It was a bracelet.It had my favourite charm on it and it must've cost a lot. Turns out,my grandfather was working harder than he ever did just to afford this bracelet for me.My family weren't wealthy, we were just slightly lower than the middle class. After that day, I wore the bracelet everyday,it ''mirrors'' my life with my grandfather in it. Everytime I look at it, it will always remind me of my grandfather. He even spent more time to work than resting. Tears flowed down to my cheeks. I promised to never lose it or break it. I decided to change the person I am.
In the next year, I became 10. I would try to make myself better everyday in order to regain my pride and joy, to never lose a core memory ever again. I met 5 new friends at school, which are Ali,Josh,Philip and Kaito. We would hang out everyday. We even promised that our bond will never be broken. Until today, we are all in the same high school. Everytime my crush came closer, they would always say my name out loud. They are the only people who are keeping me mentally stable till this day.We would go on adventures such as vandalizing our most hated teacher's car,breaking into a farmer's farm and stealing their crops,prank calling our seniors and many more… They were the best friends I've ever met ever since I was young. I wish to not lose them even after we are living our own lives in the future...
