Mid-Day in the Park of Good and Evil(English Transcript)

Zoe: (narrating) When you read a non-fiction book, you may know that these events had happened in real life. While writing this diary, everything that has happened since starting on Monday actually happened. Right now, I am going to meet up my friends in the podium which is on the 5th floor of my condo. I believe they must be waiting for me. I've gotta go.

Zoe grabbed her things and went out of her computer room and then went out of her house. Her mum called her.

Mrs. Tria: Zoe, where are you going?

Zoe: Mum, I'll just meet my friends downstairs. In the podium.

Mrs. Tria: Okay. Stay safe.

Zoe: See you later, mum.

She then waited for her lift in the corridor. Zoe then got a call from Aidan.

Zoe: Hello?

Aidan: Zoe, where are you?

Zoe: I'm waiting for my lift. Sorry if I'm taking too long. I need to do a few stuff at home.

Aidan: Yeah, we've been waiting for you in front of Tower 3, if this is your place.

Zoe: Yes it is. It is my place.

Aidan: Okay, see you.

Meanwhile in the podium, Aidan hung up.

Tanya: What's taking her so long?

Aidan: She's waiting for her lift.

Jamie: Does she have to wait for the lift?

Shion: What? There are also people needing the lift.

After a while, Zoe finally arrived.

Sheryl: Finally, you're here.

Zoe: Yup. Sorry, I needed some time to wait for the lift and stuff.

Aidan: You are so bad at making excuses.

Zoe: I know

Yuto: So what are we going to do today?

Zoe: I called you guys here, so I think we should explore the place. And find something weird going on. We need to prevent the head teacher from finding us.

Charlie: She can't find us here, we're not in school and schools aren't open yet.

Zoe: Then let's just walk around and talk to each other.

The kids started walking around and no one is in the park. Also because the clouds are grey and it is about to rain.

Thaiyo: It looks really nice here.

Zoe: Oh, thanks I guess.

Tanya: Is this a park or something?

Zoe: It is a park. People usually come out here for a jog. But there is another park nearby so basically not everyone comes here.

They soon approached a playground which is near the swimming pool.

Tanya: Is that a playground?

Zoe: Yeah. I used to play here when I was little. I even swam there in the swimming pool when I was younger.

Shion: Is it still open? It looks like it is abandoned.

Zoe: It is. But no one comes here anymore. Maybe the kids who used to play here must've grown up already.

Charlie: But what about the kids who haven't grown up yet?

Zoe: They decided to stay home because their parents are protective of their children. Just so that they won't risk themselves of getting the virus. This used to be my favourite place in the world, until I grew up.

Sheryl: It really does feel nice without people around.

Aidan: There's gotta be more places here. Since you're the leader, can you lead us to other places around the podium?

Zoe: Sure.

They started walking around until Zoe came to a stop.

Zoe: I also used to play here.

Thaiyo: Really? It looks like there used to be a carpet here.

Zoe: There was. But I haven't been here for so long, I didn't know what happened here. I always stay at home because of quarantine for 2 months when it is supposed to last for 2 weeks.

Aidan: Is there another park downstairs?

Zoe: Yes, you have to take the stairs to go there. Follow me.

The kids followed Zoe downstairs where there were bird cages. Along with a man-made waterfall.

Zoe: There used to be birds there. I don't know what happened.

Shion: Were they beautiful?

Zoe: I couldn't remember, but yes.

Tanya: And what's that up ahead?

Zoe: That's a man-made waterfall. There's koi fish in it. Can't believe Raphael is missing out this beautiful place.

Sheryl: Do you usually come here?

Zoe: No, I usually stay at home. I kinda feel like I missed this place.

While the kids were enjoying nature, something weird is starting to happen. Which is odd because they are not in school yet.

Thaiyo: What's going on?

Zoe: Look, there's something shining behind the pond.

Aidan: What could it be?

Charlie: Could it be something related to our connection.

Shion: I dunno what's that.

Zoe: Follow me, I don't think I've seen it before.

They followed Zoe behind the pond and founded a crystal along with an anonymous note.

Sheryl: What did it say?

Zoe: "To the foreign students who could help save the English Program, this crystal will grant you special powers at the time of need. This crystal can help you because the head teacher of Thai side Mathayom wanted to bring us down by manipulating every girl there is. With the exception of foreign girls, half-foreign girls, non-Buddhist girls and any boy. Touch the crystal as your powers will come to life."

Aidan: Could it be dangerous?

Tanya: I dunno, but let's see what happens if we touch it. Together.

The kids touched the crystal and they all have elemental powers(along with Raphael, though he's absent), Zoe: Water(Pisces); Aidan: Thunder(Scorpio); Raphael: Fire(Leo); Thaiyo: Ice(Cancer); Yuto: Energy(Libra); Ankit: Wood(Monkey); Sheryl: Light(Horse); Charlie: Flight(Aries); Tanya: Moonlight(Sagittarius); Jamie: Plants(Taurus); Shion: Earth(Virgo).

Zoe: What's going on?

Tanya: Isn't this too soon? We haven't formed an alliance yet.

Jamie: I dunno, but this better be for the good.

The crystal later split into pieces, Purple for Zoe, Rust for Aidan, Orange for Raphael, White for Thaiyo, Green for Yuto, Brown for Ankit, Gold for Sheryl, Red for Charlie, Blue for Tanya, Dark Green for Jamie and Pale Yellow for Shion.

Shion: Wow, did it really happen? Could it be possible if we're chosen.

Zoe: I am so not sure.

Ankit: So do I.

Charlie: I dunno what's the purpose of these crystals.

Zoe: Maybe we should examine them. Let's head to my house.

The kids went to Zoe's house where they would get their crystals scanned.

Zoe: So here are the crystals according to what my computer says. The first one, my one, is an Amethyst. It produces Water-themed powers. The second one, Aidan's one, is a Jasper. It produces Thunder-themed powers. The third one, Raphael's one, is a Carnelian. It produces Fire-themed powers. The fourth one, Thaiyo's one, is a Diamond. It produces Ice-themed powers. The fifth one, Yuto's one, is an Opal. It produces Energy-themed powers. The sixth one, Ankit's one, is an Agate. It produces Wood-themed powers. The seventh one, Sheryl's one, is a Citrine Quartz. It produces Light-themed powers. The eighth one, Charlie's one, is a Ruby. It produces Flight-themed powers. The ninth one, Tanya's one is a Topaz. It produces Moonlight-themed powers. The tenth one, Jamie's one is an Emerald. It produces Plant-themed powers. And the eleventh one, Shion's one is a Yellow Sapphire. It produces Earth-themed powers.

Shion: Wow.

Aidan: Do you know how these things work?

Zoe: No. I don't think so. But I believe these crystals are capable of saving the English program. Once and for all. Here, I turned them into necklaces. So that we don't have to keep them in our pockets for so long. I labelled your named at the back so that we won't confuse them.

Tanya: Thanks.

Zoe: No sweat.

Aidan: I like this one, it reminds me of the Flash.

Zoe: Didn't know you like the Flash. My brother likes it too.

Jamie: But what about the orange one?

Zoe: That's Raphael's. We will give it to him in the hospital tomorrow. It's raining outside.

Jamie: He's in the hospital? Why is he there? Is he sick or something?

Sheryl: He has type 1 diabetes. There might be some complications once he wakes up. Right now, he is in a coma.

Charlie: For how long?

Sheryl: For about 4 days now. I don't know how the heck did he have diabetes. He plays sports and stuff.

Zoe: Sheryl, no one knows what is the cause of type 1 diabetes. It is most likely genetics but we're still unsure.

Tanya: You know, it is fun being with you guys. Even during this pandemic.

Aidan: Yeah.

Yuto: The pandemic had just ended but we weren't given the 'all clear' to not wear masks or social distance yet. But we already found a way to be together.

Zoe: Which reminds me, we need to find a place to be our headquarters. But we can't do it until school opens so that we could make an organisation for kids like us. And stop the head teacher from bringing EP down for good.

Ankit: So for now, let's just hang out in each other's houses.

Sheryl: Yeah.

Zoe: (narrating) So we had just discovered the crystals that can give us elemental powers. Water, Thunder, Fire, Ice, Energy, Wood, Light, Flight, Moonlight, Plants and Earth. We all have powers now. But what will happen to Raphael when he wakes up? I dunno. But tomorrow, me and my friends will go to the hospital to see him again. And Sheryl will give him the amulet because kids are not allowed in the ICU room. Just hang in there, Raphael. We'll see you tomorrow again.
