It was a hot summer. The sun burned the skin, turning it a darker, reddened color. But you and other students of the academy were instructed to clean up the beach from garbage.

Everyone was unhappy with their work. They're students, not garbage collectors. Although they were promised a couple of days off for helping nature, they still did their job tiredly and reluctantly. What can't be said about you.

You have already finished your work and were sitting under the shade of a beach umbrella. Next to you, there was a huge bag full of bottles, cigarette butts, and other garbage. It was hard to work in the sun, but you knew that if you finish the job quickly, then you won't suffer from the sun for long.

"Hmm? I see you've already finished everything, too."

Al Haytham said and sat down next to you, looking sternly at how reluctantly everyone was doing the job. It was unexpected that this particular guy would sit down with you. Everyone knew that Al Haytham was a distant and strict man. Although, it was nice that he decided to sit down with you. It felt like a small part of the reward for your hard work.
