Anemo Boys were bullies. From the very beginning of school, all teachers realized they wouldn't leave anyone alone. The boys had no problem bullying others, considering they were also alphas. They quickly became friends and started calling themselves 5wirl, as there were five alphas in their gang. Now, in 9th grade, new student showed up in their class. Omega, a rather harmless-looking, silent blondie, immediately fell prey to Anemo Boys. But they were surprised when the omega himself started bullying them. After a brief fight, the blond's name was revealed: Aether. 5wirl feuded with Aether, who turned out to be a bully just like them. But their shared meetings in the principal's office, their shared experiences of ridicule, somehow brought them together. After some time, a friendship developed and they began to engage in mischief together. Anemo boys began to perceive Aether as the gang's sixth precinct and renamed themselves 6reeze.

Venti welcomed Aether with joy, a sentiment shared by Kazuha. Heizou took an interest in Aether, slowly warming up to him. Scaramouche grumbled: what was the point of an omega in their gang? But he still treated Aether as a friend, ready to lend a helping hand. Xiao liked Aether too, but he preferred to stand to the side, like Scaramouche, showing his indifference. Still, after some time spent communicating, Aether truly became a friend. Also, he could be helpful in certain situations, which helped 5wirl.

Wednesday. Third lesson: physical education. Alphas were lazily changing clothes, getting ready and chatting. Venti sat dejectedly on the bench.

Venti: Eight whole lessons... How boring. This isn't school, it's a prison, I want to be free!

Kazuha: Well, at least PE is a lesson where you can have fun.

Kazuha chuckled, rubbing his bandaged fingers from a recent incident in a basketball game.

Heizou put on a T-shirt and grinned, also remembering the previous lesson.

Heizou: Yeah. I remember very well how I knocked Itto down with ball. Watching that brute fall was a whole other story.

Venti groaned and began to stretch his shoulder, looking around the locker room, perhaps looking for some kind of victim to at least somehow entertain himself.

Venti: What do you think, will Aether go to PE lesson?

Kazuha shrugged. Heizou folded his arms across his chest, interested.

Kazuha: He promised that he would wait for us in the corridor at this break.

Xiao, who had been silent until then, snorted and leaned against the wall.

Xiao: By the time Scara gets dressed, I think Aether will have burned down half the school.

Scaramouche stuck his tongue out at Xiao in irritation. He couldn't untie the laces on his sneakers, which he had tied tightly during the last lesson.

Scaramouche: Oh really?! Aether himself probably hasn't dressed yet, knowing him. Either his makeup bothers him, or he's listening to gossi—

Xiao hits Scaramouche in the back, giving him the motivation to tie his snickers faster and stop slandering Aether.

Venti, amused by Scaramouche's temper, picked up the bottle. He took a sip of water and threw it at a nearby alpha. Heizou nodded toward the locker room exit, offering his hand to Scaramouche, who had finally put on his sneakers. Everyone had gathered.

Kazuha: Then let's look for him.

Xiao nodded, moving away from the wall and opening the door with his foot into the corridor. All the alphas were looking for the familiar blond head.
