Kate always reminds her that appearance is not the main thing. She also tells Kate that she doesn't choose Alex because of the appearance, since Aaron himself is "hella ugly" and rowdy looking but she doesn't want Alex get hurt, because Aaron is one of a bully jerk at school.

Day by day, their relationship become closer and closer and they always hangs out together after school. But one day when Alex and Anne was hanging out, Aaron across them and without saying anything punch Alex in the face.

Alex thrown back a little just to see a blur, he can touch that blood come out of his nose. He felt daze and hardly try to get up but before it happens Aaron stomp his face a couple of time until he blackout.

Johnson that didn't get the reply on the sms service become concern and catch them up in the usually hang out place where he found Alex lying on the ground with wounds all over his head. He brought Alex to his house and ask his mom to give him the treatment since his mom is a doctor.

A couple hours later he woke up thankfully with no serious injury and tell the story to Johnson and burned him up but he doesn't let Johnson to do anything to Aaron because if he want to,he could beat the crap of him, but he didn't throw any punches because he Doesn't want to hurt someone that Anne love and it may also make Anne hate him so he suggest Johnson to just write a disstrack for Aaron and performed on the annual Smansa (Smansa is their school's name) Got Talent in his school.

Days and days with no interaction neither at school nor from handphone (because his Handphone broken because Aaron stomp on it and tear it apart) he just completely sad all day and it really bother Johnson that he mad at him and throw his lyric book to Alex and then go from Alex's house.

After a couple of month he can buy a new phone and he found that his Whatsapp account had been blocked by Alex, so he chatted her best friend Kate instead and ask her to ask Anne about why she blocked him. 20 minuted passed and he got a reply in a screenshot about how Anne doesn't want Alex get hurt more and hope he can just look away from her, she knows that she seems like villain but she just doesn't want Alex to get hurt. Because she loves him.

Alex's heart get nudged by the chat, he never thought Anne would think about him that much, he thought Anne ignores him because Anne hate him but the chat really make the tears come out from his eyes.

He immediately calls Johnson and rush the Diss track and produce it in one night it was title 'Fuck Aaron' and They sampled the beat from the greatest diss track in their opinion "Hit 'Em Up" by 2Pac Feat The Outlawz. (https://youtu.be/41qC3w3UUkU)

A month before the Smansa Got Talent he invite some of his class mate to perfom 3 Queen songs that they love so much "Love Of My Life"(https://youtu.be/sUJkCXE4sAA),"Somebody To Love"( and as the ending "Bohemian Rhapsody" ( with Alex as vocalist, Johnson as Guitarist, Joshua as Bassist, Jonathan as Drummer.

On the afternoon, Alex and Johnson are on the usual hang out place "Latados Cafe" that also the usual place where Anne and Alex hang out. But at that afternoon they saw Anne with her boyfriend. Johnson straight up standing and try to approach them to give her boyfriend some Taekwondo fists and kicks but Alex hold him and they just pass them and while Aaron doesn't see and Anne in a big surprised, Alex gives her his warm smile as always.

They have been practicing for the whole month and today is the big day, before they performing their song, Alex come to Anne and beg her to watch even if she brings her boyfriend, he wants to see her face while they performing and Anne only gives a little nod and Alex smile then thank her and back to his group.

It is the time, Anne, Kate, and Aaron sit on the front seat. Aaron slightly surprise and angrily look at Anne but he tried to calm down.

The curtain's open and Alex immediately hit the first note on the piano and give the rendition of Love Of My Live that for a high school students is impressive, Anne's heart felt hurt hearing his voice and try to not drop any tear.

After Bohemian Rhapsody ended and Aaron pissed by the way Anne looking at Alex and take Anne away. Alex sees that and he stand up and the music immediately changed into "Fuck Aaron" and the first line make Aaron look at him And Alex throws middle finger to him in front of teachers and parents.

Teachers and parents don't move because middle finger doesn't have any meaning there, so with plenty of F-bomb teachers and parents start to frowning but let the young blood a go, and the annihilation upon Aaron continue for 6 minute.

After the performance, Alex cannot find Anne and he goes to the back of the school just to see Anne get harassed by Aaron and just like he did to Alex without say a word a roundhouse kick land to the side of Aaron's head and knock him out.

Tomorrow morning Anne told Kate that she broke Aaron up because he was harassing her but she also doesn't start any relationship with Alex either. But Alex give the decision to the time and fate.

In the evening, Alex and Johnson visit Aaron in the Hospital. And they spit on the bully's face.
