"Cheers!"

A group of people toast their glass to eachother as they laugh and enjoy having a hangout. They take their drinks back to them and start to drink it straight.

It was cool breeze of night inside of the small restaurant , the group of senior students decided to drink for fun. Most of them already drunk and some of them are sobers. "Hey Mr. Fast Runner! Come and drink more and stop staring at your phone!" A rugby player name William Ellis offered a glass of Beer to a top runner name Naib Subedar who is wearing his usual black hoodie jacket most of the time, finally looking up to look at William then to the glass of beer he was holding. He isn't really a fan of drinking but it will be rude to not accept the offer from one of his sports mate.

Naib sigh and put down his phone. He took the glass and stares at it a few seconds before chugging the whole glass to his mouth. The rest of the group cheers and some of them laughs. After drinking the whole glass of beer he cough abit from the taste of the alcohol and then set the empty glass on the table. "That's our boy!" the other friend of Naib happily wraps his arms around Naib's Shoulders. The other guy is Norton Campbell, he have a burn scar at his other eye, they say that he got it from the accident during his vacation but he don't mind abou the scar anymore since people actually think he is a cool guy from it.

"Are you okay Naib?" a worried voice can be heard from one of the volleyball player name Martha Behamfil. Naib still can taste the beer at his tongue as he feel a bit dizzy for a while. "Y-yeah, I'm fine don't mind me " he waves his hand while the other hand is covering his mouth. "You don't need to drink it in one go if you really can't handle it that much" Martha replied. Naib clears his throat "Dont worry Martha, I can handle anything. Besides, I'm a cool guy" Naib said in full of confidence. Probably the alcohol kicking in to him right now.

Martha Chuckles and rolls her eyes. "If you say so Mr. Subedar" after that, she stop giving Naib some attention and start to talk with the girl next to her name is Vera Nair. She is a model of their school , Also likes to make her own perfumes. This two really close to eachother.

Naib thought about doing some smoke. So he decided to get up from his sit and his phone. "I'll go out for the smoke" Naib said and the others noded. After telling the others, Naib go out from the restaurant to the alleyway to smoke his cigarettes.

He pull out his lighter and a cigarette and start smoking. He puff some smoke while looking at the night sky. He hold his head groaning from the dizziness. "Dammit..." He hissed and rested his head at his hand before continuing to smoke.

Hoot... Hoot...

Naib's attention was caught by the owl's noise. He look up and look around to know where the noise came from. He look at the nearby tree and saw a white owl, fur is white as snow. Naib was amazed at the owl's appearance. He have urge to touch it's feathers if he can, but sadly he can't. All he can do right now is just watch the owl from far. Naib lean on the wall and proceed to smoke. He puff the smoke out and started to talk even it's just himself. "You look really so pretty... Wish i could pet you." He spoke to the owl. Even he knew it doesn't understand him.

A few minutes later, voices of his friends can be heard outside. He take a peek and saw his friends was out now, drunk as hell. One of his friend who is wearing a face mask was helping Norton who is look so drunk right now. "C'mon Norton , Get up on your own and Move" Aesop Carl , Member of the Art Club , was helping the drunk Norton to walk. Poor him.

Naib snickers as he watch the lazy Norton being drunk as hell as he slurring some random words. This make Aesop to notice Naib as he look at the Boy who just got finished from smoking. "Naiiiibbb help me here" He whine and reach out for Naib. "Naaaiib mah man ! What cha doing here?" Norton spoke , asking Naib like he didn't saw him with them earlier. Naib chuckles , he look at the tree and the owl isn't there anymore. 'Dang, I didn't realize it's gone' he thought.

He put down the cigarette and stepped on it before approaching Aesop and Norton. "How many did he drink?" Naib asked Aesop before helping him to Hold Norton who will fall asleep soon. "He almost drink the whole Set of beer" Aesop answers, a look of disappointed at his face. Naib chuckles, "who else are drunk?" He asked again looking at the glass door of the restaurant as he can see the others through the window.

"William" Aesop sigh . "Nort and Him decided to do some kind of stupid challenge like who will finish alot of drinks first" Naib hums and watch as the other group finally walk out from the restaurant. Ganji a baseball player was helping William to walk. "Damn this built man" Ganji mumbles in frustration. His a sober anyways so he have no problem about drinking. But this two , they are the opposite.

Martha walk out last from restaurant, She was holding her phone , Probably calling a Cab for Norton and Aesop. "Remind me to not let this two drink alot. They are surely annoying and being cry babies " She chuckle and look at the others.

A few minutes later , A cab finally came. Naib helped Aesop to put Norton in there before Aesop hopped in. "Thanks for helping Naib and for the Cab Martha" Aesop waves at them goodbye before the Cab finally move.
In the other hand , Ganji have his own Car , He took William inside and then let the other ladies to hop in the car. "Are you sure you don't want a ride home Naib?" Ganji asked , waiting for the boy's response. "Yeah I'm fine, My house is nearby so I can just take a walk. Besides, William needs ride home more than i do" He pointed at the sleepy Drunk man who is leaning at the backseat and look really knock out. "If you say so , See yah Naib" Ganji waves before closing the car window. Naib smiles a little before waving goodbye to them. The car finally moves and It's only Naib left.

He sigh and start to walk home himself. The night surely cold and silent. The mood of the surrounding is what the boy likes. He hide his hands in his pocket while walking. He may still can't get over with the beautiful Owl he saw. Hoping he could see it again around.

He pulled out his phone , checking some messages. Nothing's really new, just some group chats that he really not looking that much.

A few minutes later , he can see his own house , Just a few steps more before he county reach the front of it.

Until....

*Bang!*

Naib got startled from the sound of a 'gun shot'? He look around and wonder where it came from. He felt he going to have a heart attack. Naib decided to check where it is and saw some person with a gun on it's hand. "Ah damn , where did it go? I'm pretty sure i got it's wing" The mysterious guy sigh and scratch his head. "Fuck, I lost the owl. It will die anyways" He reloads his gun and hoped in the motorbike before leaving the area. Naib was confused but worried about the creature he shot.

Naib started to look around the area , Probably the creature is still around. But sadly he couldn't find it . He sigh and decided to just walk back home. "Whatever that is , Forget it and pretend nothing happened..." He sigh.

He finally reached his front door and pulled out his house key . He was about to unlock the door when suddenly he heard a weak hoot of an owl. He got startled there for a bit but looking around his surroundings after. The weak hoot is nearby. He decided to search around and found something moving at his bush. He slowly approach the bush and opens it.

In his surprise, it's the white owl he saw last time. But somethings not right. He observe the owl more and saw a Red stain on it's snow feathers. He gasp as he realized that the owl is injured. "Shit..." he curses to himself. He look around to his surroundings before looking back to the injured owl.

He slowly leaning down to pick up the poor thing. The owl kinda noticed the motion of the man before moving away from Naib's Hand. Naib froze but slowly approaching the owl once again. "Hey Hey, It's okay. I'm no harm . I'm here to help you" He worriedly looking at the owl. The owl seems understood what the boy gonna do as it didn't move further away from his hand. From Naib's Reach he gently scoop the owl from his hand before bringing it to his warm arms.

"Poor little owl... How could someone shot a defenceless bird" he click his tongue and start to walk back to the front door. "I can't just leave you like this , I'll take you home" he said before finally unlocking the door and went inside.
