Anthony/Synopsis: Season 1

### Sparkle & Shine: Hygiene

Anthony made his debut in Book 4. He was introduced as the school's hygiene monitor alongside his younger twin brother Andrew. When Candy JEM were having a chat with Alex, an "unclean" boy from their class during recess, Anthony showed up and dragged Alex away from Candy JEM for wearing dirty clothes in the school.

The next day when Candy JEM were brushing their teeth at school, Anthony and Andrew showed up when Joni complained about why they have to brush their teeth after eating. Before Anthony could jot down Joni's name on his notebook, Joni got furious at him until they were cut down by Andrew's gentle smile. As Anthony and Andrew were about to leave, a commotion happened with some students backing off from somebody who was washing her hair at the sink, which turned out to be Alex. The reason why Alex washed her hair at the sink was due to her being splashed with dirty water when she was at the school compound. Due to Alex's dirty appearance, the students at the scene all persuaded Anthony and Andrew to jot down Alex's name, which made Joni even more furious as she grabbed Anthony by his collar and he told her that she did not have the right to voice for Alex, which further infuriated Joni. Anthony was on his way in bringing Alex to the staff room when Joni chased up onto him and she requested him to let go of Alex and instead bring her to the staff room. Mrs. Lawson who heard the commotion asked what was going on and she gave both Alex and Joni for violating the school's hygiene code and for interfering with the hygiene monitor's duty. She then asked Anthony to jot down both of their names and classes which he adhered to.

On the next day after Anthony and Andrew had completed their duties in the school, Joni decided to stalk Anthony so that she could capture his weakness and make his reputation as the hygiene monitor being ruined but unfortunately, Anthony successfully avoided the traps that Joni had set up in various parts of the school (blackboard eraser, water puddle and carrot). When Anthony was having extracurricular activities at the basketball court, Joni had the idea to take a photo of him rubbing his eyes with his hands due to sweat entering his eyes. However, her plans foiled again as Anthony told Corey that he would go and wipe off his sweat. As Joni (alongside Mia and Emilia) heard a scream coming from nowhere, they were shocked to see Anthony in a mud pit which was made as a trap by Joni. They were even more shocked when Alex showed up and lend her hand to Anthony in an attempt to get him out from the mud pit.

Candy JEM followed Anthony and Andrew back to their house after extracurricular activities had ended and Joni found out that Anthony was leaving his house and they followed him to a garbage dump, where he searched for something with his bare hands (which turned out to be a cardboard sheet). Candy JEM continued to stalk him until they arrived at a run-down house and they were shocked to see Anthony's smile. They were even more surprised when Alex was the one who opened the door and welcomed Anthony. Anthony helped Alex to sort out the recycle materials and as Alan showed Anthony some wild mushrooms which he collected, Alex received a scolding from Anthony from letting Alan to gather wild mushrooms due to fear of them ingesting poisonous mushrooms. Anthony decided to confiscate the mushrooms and Alex and Alan begged him not to throw them away. Seeing their plight, Anthony gave them a box of cookies which he obtained from his friends and he ordered them to wash their hands before eating. As Anthony went to check the water tank, Alex told him that she always filled in the water tank with water so that it would be full. Anthony explained to Alex that the water tank may have germs and bacteria which can cause diseases and he proceeded to clean the water tank but was hindered when Alex refused to pour all the water from the tank. When Candy JEM was interrogated by Anthony due to Joni's recklessness which made them being exposed, Alan hugged onto Anthony and Alex explained her family's condition to Candy JEM. Anthony told Candy JEM after he found out that Alex was collecting garbage, he followed her back home and Alex's mother asked him to take care of Alex. He then decided to let Candy JEM join in to help Alex and her family.

The following day, Anthony told Andrew that he was going to get something which he forgot and he reassured his brother that he would be back shortly. It turned out that Anthony was bringing lunch for Alex and he noticed the hygiene booklet done by Mia, he praised Mia for being a considerate person, which led to Charles popping out from the bushes. Anthony attempted to jot down Charles' name for violating the school's dress code with Charles warning him not to get too close to Mia. After Anthony returned back to his class, Andrew asked where was he going just now and he told him that he was called by the teacher to help out with something, so he did not have enough time to have lunch which kick started Andrew's jealousy towards Alex. Anthony and Candy JEM later went to Alex's house to give her a haircut due to Alex's hairstyle had violated the school's hygiene code. After half an hour Alex finally had her hair cut into a neat style and Anthony was astonished when he found out that Alex is a girl. Alex thanked Anthony for giving her a haircut and Anthony blushed as she thanked him.

Alex was splashed with water when she was looking for Anthony in the school the following day, thus making her clothes getting dirty. Anthony (which was posed by Andrew unbeknownst to Alex) showed up and took her to the hygiene monitor room to change to a new shirt. As Class 5A was having a hygiene check, Andrew noticed that Alex was wearing his brother's shirt while she denied that she stole Anthony's shirt. Anthony asked where she got the shirt and she silenced herself. Mrs. Lawson who showed up after hearing the commotion checked the shirt that Alex was wearing and she wanted Alex to tell her everything or else she would call her parents. Anthony thought to himself that only him and Andrew had the keys to the hygiene monitor room and he suspected Andrew to be the one who posed as him. He told Mrs. Lawson that he borrowed Alex his shirt and he asked Andrew whether he was the one who splashed Alex with water, leading Andrew to be intimidated. Anthony continued to defend Alex by telling everybody that he and Alex are friends but he did not have the courage to admit it to everybody. As Mrs. Lawson asked why did he borrow Alex his shirt, he complained to Alex that he felt dizzy and he fainted on her. Anthony was sent to the infirmary and the school nurse told Mrs. Lawson and Andrew that he was down with a fever. Anthony then stopped Mrs. Lawson from accusing Candy JEM and Alex for criticizing her actions and as Mrs. Lawson decided to forbid him and Alex to see each other before exam ends, he did a failed attempt to persuade her.

Anthony showed up the next day when Andrew was caught in the act of being the one who splashed Alex with water by Candy JEM and told Andrew that he left his pen on purpose in the science lab when he did not leave anything inside the lab in order to get evidence that Andrew was the one who pranked on Alex. Anthony told Candy JEM to not interfere with Alex's matters as this was a request from her mother. After 3 days when Mrs. Wang came to school, she told her miserable story to Mrs. Lawson and Miss Miyuki, which led Mrs. Lawson to feel ashamed of herself because she failed to notice her students' problems. She had a flashback on Anthony deciding to help Alex and he understood that even though she cares for her students' health and well being, there will always be a side who will make mistakes. As Mrs. Lawson agreed Mrs. Wang to let their children choose their own friends, Anthony stood behind a tearful Alex while smiling.

In the ending of the book Anthony helped Alex and her family to move into their new house. He was seen lending a hand to Andrew who tripped and fell on the ground and as he bumped into Alex while carrying some boxes, he smiled at her and Alex in turn smiled happily at him.

### Style with Substance: Savvy

Not agreeing on modelling for Iris' crew, Alex purposely brought up the fact that if he agreed in being a model for Iris' fashion show, she and her brother would be able to wear the used clothes for a couple of years; and added that they could also use them to survive the cold winter in the country. Despite Anthony not willing to wear fashion clothes that he described as "strange" and "embarrassing", he soon agreed in helping them after hearing Alex's continuous pleading (and added the point that their country does not have winter).

The following day, after the success in finding sufficient models for Iris' show, Iris popped up a question for Anthony, Charles and Corey; asked them whether are they familiar with fashion design. Anthony started by saying that fashion is a form of expression that gives people the first impression of a particular person, thus earning Iris' agreement for his explanation- before he added off-topic pointers for her. After hearing the other two's answers, Anthony attempted to correct their answers with his, hence starting a fight within the trio. When Candy JEM discussed their wager they had with Sofia after she and Lily barged in and mocked Iris. Anthony, together with Corey and Charles, stated that a catfight was about to begin.

During the aftermath of Lily's motive (when she purposely bought Iris' fabric in order to let her lose), Anthony helped Iris and the others to create the final design for Iris' clothing as him and Alex helped by cutting certain fabric. At the back of the stage, Anthony and the others started to wear the clothing Iris had prepared for them.

When it was time to present Iris' fashion designs, Anthony walked down the fashion runway with Alex while wearing the clothes that had winter themed design. Anthony described that the clothes gave off a weird smell and had doubts to the clothes' cleanliness.

### Happy Holidays!: Travel

As Irwin had invited Candy JEM to go with him on a trip to Langkawi, Joni attempted to tag Anthony and Zara to go with them. Eventually, Anthony (and Zara) was unable to come as plans were held between him and Alex during that period of time.

### Season of Blossoms: Growing Up

During the school's health check up, Anthony ordered all the students to line up with boys at the left and girls at the right. He was later seen with Corey with both of them having a naked upper body.

Anthony later showed up behind Candy JEM while advising Charles to keep quiet in the school compound. Emilia asked whether he was looking for Alex and that she was not eating with them today and he denied while blushing. As Mia brought up that she felt fat because she was the heaviest among her friends, Anthony reassured her that her BMI is normal after he calculated his, Candy JEM, Charles and Corey's BMI.

### Little Ladies: Courtesy

When Sofia was boasting about her outrageous choice of clothing to Candy JEM and Charles, Anthony (and Andrew) appeared and the former jotted down Sofia's name for her outrageous clothing. When Sofia was about to accuse Charles of wearing the same outrageous clothing as her, Charles had swapped his eccentric clothing to a more appropriate one, thus shocking the princess while Anthony said that nothing was wrong with Charles' choice of clothing. Anthony then proceeded to bring Sofia to the disciplinary office for violating the school's dress code.

When Sofia was walking around the school's grounds while wearing an expensive dress, she bumped into Anthony (and Andrew) again, which made her scared and she hid behind the bushes because she was forced to wear her gym shirt as a result of wearing outrageous clothing since the last time she got caught. As she noticed there was a sports bag on a bench, she thought of an idea and she changed into sport shoes and a sports jacket to avoid getting caught by the twins while the twins searched for students who violated the school's dress code around the school.

### Keeping You Waiting: Time Management

Anthony, along with Alex and Andrew were seen in the school's hall waiting for the school's concert to begin and he was shown speaking to Alex. He was later seen watching the concert of Candy JEM with Alex and Andrew.

### Dreams Take Flight: Ambition

When Anthony (and Andrew) were asked by Joni about what was their future ambition, both of the twins brought up the fact that they wanted to become lawyers in the future.

### Boys & Girls Rule!: Growing Up

When Alex was being sexually harassed by a man on the bus, Anthony appeared and chased away the man. He gave Alex a glare before advising her to raise her voice and scold the harasser if she encounters this type of situation next time. He also picked up the man's ID card and planned to hand it to the police later. Anthony offered to help Alex to carry her bag as the bus reached school, which she declined. Before Alex and Candy JEM were about to leave, Anthony gave Alex her lunch before heading to the discipline office and he reminded her to wash her hands before eating.

Anthony appeared again while Candy JEM and Alex were being threatened by Joshua and his friends and he attempted to copy down Joshua's name for violating the school's dress code, thus making Joshua furious as he grabbed Anthony's shirt collar and wanting to pick a fight with him. Anthony warned Joshua that picking a fight with a hygiene monitor is a serious offence and it might result Joshua being suspended from school. A furious Joshua let go of Anthony roughly after Robin told him to leave the scene immediately. Anthony later appeared behind Candy JEM and Alex during recess and he explained the definition of sexual harassment to the girls but left as Alex offered him the sandwich that Mia made. After returning back to his class he noticed Robin being threatened by Joshua and the triplets to let them borrow her science book from her. Noticing Anthony advising them to complete their homework by their own, Joshua taunted Anthony by asking him to report to the discipline mistress while Anthony asked them to return to their class instead as class was about to start. Anthony then gave advice to Robin about her friendship with Joshua and she thanked him for the advice.

The subsequent day Candy JEM called out to Anthony outside his class and he asked Alex what was going on with Joni helping Alex to reply that they wanted to support him at the basketball match that would be held on Saturday. Giving out a sigh, he agreed them to come to the match. As he returned to his seat, he noticed Robin shivering and he greeted her. After noticing the pornographic magazine in his drawer, Anthony took out the magazine and brought it along with him. Robin, who feared that Anthony's reputation would be tarnished by Joshua attempted to go and stop him but it was revealed that Anthony was standing outside the classroom and he interrogated her about the magazine. He scolded her for her weak attitude and he wanted her to explain to Joshua that he would not be fazed by pornographic materials and if Joshua wanted to beat him, he should do it frankly.

On the day of the basketball match, Joshua and his friends showed up halfway and he challenged Anthony to a match between them with the wager of taking off their pants if one of them failed in the match. They started the match and when Robin showed signs of feeling unwell, Anthony helped her up while telling Joshua that he did not know how to appreciate his friend. Anthony, along with Candy JEM and Alex were all seen worried for Robin as she fainted on Anthony. Robin was sent to the infirmary and Anthony suspected that she is a girl, which she admitted. Anthony later explained what is menstruation to the girls and he was seen with a speechless look as Candy JEM were angry at Joshua's actions towards Robin.

The following day when Robin came to school wearing girlish clothing, Anthony told her that being a girl is nothing to be ashamed of and he gave her a smile as she told him that she would try her best. Anthony and Robin later walked together in the school while the triplet bullies planned to prank them by splashing them with water. The triplets plan finally succeeded but they splashed the wrong target, which turned out to be Alex. Seeing Alex being splashed with water and reassuring Robin that she was glad to see them alright, Anthony was infuriated on why Alex did not know how to protect herself and his anger was further escalated when Joshua challenged him to report the incident to his mother which made him grab Joshua's collar furiously while attempting to punch him, but was interrupted when Robin slapped Joshua.

Anthony watched silently as Robin voiced out her true feelings to Joshua and as Emilia asked Anthony to forgive Joshua, he told Candy JEM that he acted very immature when dealing with this issue and he would apologize sincerely to Joshua. Joni angrily asked him the reason why did he avoid Alex for the majority of the story, he was about to explain the reason but he blushed and stuttered when explaining to Candy JEM. Joni intuitively continued his words by saying that Alex needs to wear a bra or singlet to prevent exposure, which made Anthony blush even madly and he ordered Candy JEM to go back to their class. In the end Anthony was seen handing Alex her lunch and immediately fled from her after giving lunch to her.

### Tiny Terror: Manners

Anthony, along with Corey, were approached by Candy JEM in regards of finding Charles, whom Candy JEM thought were practicing basketball with them. The two explained that they were not sure of their teammate's whereabouts. Sera and Nora later appeared on the school ground trying to find Charles. Anthony and Corey tried to break the fight between Candy Baby and Candy JEM. Anthony then went forward to reprimand the two and he advised Charles to discipline his sister properly when the latter came to fetch Sera for a recording session. Anthony was later dragged by Corey to look for Charles after seeing Mia crying.

### A Class Effort: Leadership

Anthony could be seen walking along the school corridor with his twin brother Andrew doing preparations for their class' booth. Andrew attempted to offer help for his brother to carry the box that he was holding on, but Anthony denied his offer. Anthony later told Alex about the theme of his class' booth for the bazaar.

### Rules of Popularity: Reputation

As Zara and Qistina fell down from the stairs, Anthony and Richard showed up and sent them to the infirmary. After he ordered all of the students to go back to their classes, Sofia asked him on whether Zara and Qistina would be alright. He said it was hard to say because they both fell down from the stairs and he was about to report the incident to the discipline mistress. He then wanted Sofia to worry about herself as she was also needed to explain to the discipline mistress about everything that had happened.

When Richard punched the bullies that scared Sofia using dummies of Zara and Qistina, one of the boys encountered Anthony when he was about to flee from the scene. The boy who got punched asked Anthony whether Richard would have to go to the disciplinary office for punching him. Anthony replied that he saw the boy's face suddenly made contact with Richard's fist, thus making him fell to the ground. He made it simple by saying that the boy used his face to attack Richard's fist and he asked Richard on whether he should go to the disciplinary office to report to the teacher too, but Richard denied his offer.

### More Than Friends: Feelings

Anthony, Richard, Charles and Corey appeared behind Candy JEM and Alex who were stalking Carly and Jacob behind some bushes, thus shocking the girls. Anthony warned Carly and Jacob that dating is prohibited in the school and they may be subjected to disciplinary action if they were found dating in school. As Carly told him that they would receive punishment for dating, Anthony and the gang should also be subjected to disciplinary action too, he asked what did she mean. Carly continued to claim that the cold and strict Anthony always cared for Alex by preparing food for her everyday, which startled both of them.

When Anthony and his friends were interrogated by Mrs. Lawson for dating in the school, Miss Miyuki defended that him, Corey and Richard always went for tournaments outside the school and were model students of the school. As Mrs. Lawson got angry at all of them, Anthony attempted to persuade his mother but was met by a cold response by her.

The next day when Charles and Corey were pondering about Emilia and Mia's weird actions towards them in the hygiene monitor's room, Anthony came in and advised them to not enter the room. As Charles pleaded Anthony not to chase him away, Anthony annoyingly wanted him to get out of the room. Anthony then sat down and told Corey and Charles that even though Emilia and Mia avoided them, they cannot blame them because of the rumors that were happening in the school and it was better if the girls stayed away from the boys. He then proceeded to tell them about what happened when he met Alex, which she refused to accept his food and even ran away when she saw him. The three boys finally gave a long sigh in the room.

As Mia was lecturing Carly about the true definition of love, Anthony, Richard, Corey and Charles brought Jacob to see Carly. Before Jacob was brought to apologize to Carly, he was about to hang out with his friends until being stopped by Richard. As Jacob refused to go to apologize to Carly, Richard swiftly chided him with his signature glare, which intimidated Jacob and was dragged to the school backyard. After Richard dragged Jacob to the school backyard, Anthony thanked him and when they found out that Jacob was about to escape, Jacob begged them to forgive him and he had already broke up with Carly. Anthony advised Jacob to explain everything to Carly first, then he should go and apologize to Miss Miyuki and Mrs. Lawson. Anthony then proceeded to tell Jacob that his behavior may lead to Carly being traumatized and Jacob was the only one who could help her.

### Fruits of Friendship: Nutrition

Anthony was first seen walking to school wearing his earphones when Alex had the intention to walk with him together to school before he walked away. He and Andrew were seen helping out Jade during the nutritional talk and after the talk had ended, Anthony stopped Alex and gave her her lunch before continuing with his work.

Anthony came to Class 5A on another day to discuss with his basketball teammates while supporting Alex from nearly falling down before going into the classroom for discussion. He later showed up behind Alex during recess and asked her what was Candy JEM doing and he gave her her lunch before leaving to tidy up the storeroom in the staff room. During halfway in tidying the storeroom, Anthony asked Andrew to go and have lunch and Candy JEM, Alex and Corey popped up outside the storeroom wanting to help him with his work. As he noticed Alex taking out a small box from the pile of boxes which made the pile falling down in the process, Anthony protected her and eventually sprained his wrist in the process.

Candy JEM, Alex and Corey went to visit Anthony after school and he reassured them that he was fine. He silenced himself as Andrew told the others that maybe Alex left because she felt guilty for his injury. Another day he showed up behind Alex and Candy JEM again to bring Alex her lunch and before leaving, Alex stopped him and attempted to tell him that she would not be a burden to him anymore, which made him threw away the sandwich that was intended for her. When Andrew was about to stop Alex from seeing Anthony but was dragged away by Garry, he asked what was going on and Andrew told him that she left with a boy from the next class with Anthony telling him that she does not have him as her only friend. Anthony later went to the fish farm that Alex and Garry worked in after tailing her there and he asked Garry on how did he knew that he hurt Alex. He attempted to go into the farm to take Alex back home before Garry stopped him and asked about whether his decision to protect her safety was right.

Seeing a happy Alex getting a huge fish from Garry and the owner of the fish farm, Anthony thought to himself that Alex was struggling to get healthy and strong all the time and he finally knew about what Alex truly wanted. The following day, Anthony met Alex in school and he reassured her that his injury was getting better before Alex gave him the lunch that she made by herself, which he accepted. While he was walking in the school grounds, he met Garry again and told him that he finally knew what Alex truly wanted and admitted his failure to notice her desires, leading to Garry teasing him to be an idiot while he showed an annoyed look to him. Anthony stopped Alex as she was about to eat the thrown sandwich and he apologized to her for not knowing her desires. Having reconciled, Anthony and Alex now started to prepare lunch for each other and as he noted that the only food he can prepare is sandwiches, Joni asked him whether he made those sandwiches by himself, making Anthony blush first before it was Alex's turn to blush. Anthony was last seen holding and shaking Alex who was blushing in his arms.

### Athletic Ace: Sports

Anthony was seen sitting with Alex when they were watching the basketball match alongside Candy JEM. He reassured a crying Alex that it was not her fault for his wrist's injury and he wondered why Alex was getting more emotional after seeing her shivering and crying. Joni then asked why he did not participate in the match and he explained that even though his wrist's condition was getting better, he was advised by the doctor to not be involved in vigorous exercise as it may worsen the injury. Mia asked him whether their friends would lose and he was confident that they would definitely win as they have an energetic friend in the basketball team, which he referred to Corey.

Anthony was later seen giving a round of applause when Corey was nominated as Sacred Hearts Primary School's top athlete by the headmaster. He was later seen with Richard when they met Candy JEM on their way to practice basketball. Anthony informed them that Corey was not joining the practice for that day when Joni suggested to Mia and Emilia to go to support Corey.

### The Hero's Quest: Self-Improvement

Anthony was seen jotting down the names of students who violated the school's dress code when Corey greeted him. Corey asked Anthony on whether he wanted to practice basketball after school, which he gladly accepted. When Corey was about to call along Charles, he found out that Charles was missing while Anthony showed a puzzled look behind Corey.

When Charles started to study with his friends, Anthony told him that he was almost considered as a member of the basketball team and he encouraged Charles to ask them for help when he was in trouble. Anthony encouraged Charles to keep it up and he was seen helping Charles in his studies later on.

The next day when Derek and his friends were about to pick up a fight with Charles in the school, some girls called for Anthony that somebody was fighting in the school. When Anthony arrived at the scene, he found out that Derek was not a student of the school. He asked Derek where were his friends and whether he was intending to bully the students or damage school property. After Derek punched Charles, Anthony warned Derek that he would tell a teacher if he did not stop his actions. Charles reassured to Anthony that he was fine and Anthony encouraged him to voice out his thoughts if he was being bullied. Charles then proceeded to kneel in front of Derek to seek his forgiveness, which made Derek even more furious and he proceeded to punch Charles. As Derek's fist was about to strike Charles, Anthony stopped Derek and told him that although he did not know what was happening between them, he saw Charles as a person who was striving to change himself even though he was facing challenges. When Charles and Derek were about to fight again, Mia suddenly went behind Derek and pushed him, which made Derek fall down and pinned Charles to the ground. Anthony, along with the others were surprised at Mia's strength and he said that Derek got a taste of his own medicine for wanting to pick up a fight. Anthony later brought Derek and his friends to Mrs. Lawson for them to face disciplinary action.

### Facing Our Fears: Superstitions

Anthony and Richard appeared behind Candy JEM who were being intimidated by Mr. Silas about his animal specimens. Anthony told Candy JEM they were also being forced to join the Science camp as a result of Richard sending a phone message to him during class when they were sitting next to each other during Science class. Richard then informed Candy JEM of Mr. Silas' enthusiasm in Science and he always wanted to share his knowledge with his students despite his eccentric demeanor, but was shunned by his students with Anthony adding that they would not force Candy JEM to join the camp if they do not want to.

Anthony, Richard and Candy JEM were the only students who joined the science camp of Sacred Hearts hosted by Mr. Silas. Anthony said that he agreed to join the camp as he did not have other plans for holiday and he joined Candy JEM in a group photo later. He participated in the science class and was shocked alongside Candy JEM and Richard as Mr. Silas wanted them to choose an assistant for his dissection of a frog. He, Richard and Mr. Silas later went out to buy food for lunch and the two boys helped to gather some sticks for the campfire. Anthony was seen wondering with his friends about the whereabouts of the missing frog specimen.

At night Anthony asked Joni on the disappearance of the animal specimens and he was about to voice his opinions on Emilia's statement that ghosts do not exist before having his mouth being covered by Richard. He and the others were woken up from Joni's scream and after listening to Joni's description of her condition, he told them that maybe ghosts exist and he decided to tell Candy JEM about everything that happened. After examining the photo taken on that day, Anthony noticed that there was another hand that belonged to neither of them in the photo and the boys asked the owner of the printing shop and the other photos the owner printed were the same. In the meantime a black figure appeared outside the classroom and the boys decided to go and have a look. When the boys were tailing the figure Richard told Anthony that it was not his usual self since he only believes in science while he replied that the situation was different for the time being and Richard should get serious because of the hand that appeared behind him. Anthony gave a gesture of be quiet as the boys noticed the figure crawling on the ground and they proceeded to chase after it, but found nothing when they reached the staircase. Unbeknownst to the two, the figure appeared behind Anthony and before he could react the figure's hand approached and pushed him. As he regained consciousness, he found out that his foot was sprained and Richard helped him back to class. Candy JEM asked what happened and Anthony explained to them he was being pushed by somebody when he was about to go down the stairs and he was certain that he did not see anybody; it was like a force who pushed him. Anthony was later brought back to class to have his sprained leg bandaged by Richard and he wanted his friends to stay calm despite the weird situation that happened. He was given a drawing of a garlic by Joni alongside the others with the latter claiming that garlic has the ability to ward off ghosts from harming them.

Anthony and the gang investigated the presence of blood-like drops on the floor and he suggested to go and find out what was going on. They arrived outside of Mr. Silas' lab and Anthony criticized Richard for joking before he found out their handphones were in Mr. Silas' paper bag. They then tailed Mr. Silas with Richard telling Candy JEM that he and Anthony would distract Mr. Silas before the latter showed up behind them. The boys immediately caught Mr. Silas and Anthony yelled for Candy JEM to quickly go into the room and get their handphones before the two boys bit Mr. Silas on his hands. Anthony and Richard were later seen unconscious after being beat up by Mr. Silas and they were punished to kneel down by the science teacher.

Before Anthony and his friends were about to leave the science lab, Mr. Silas caught Richard and Anthony while asking them to clean up the lab or else they were not allowed to go back to sleep. The next day Anthony and Richard showed up at the science lab tiredly and Anthony greeted Mr. Silas who brought breakfast for them. Anthony slapped Richard annoyingly on his head when the latter scared Joni by posing as a vampire and he found out that the door closed automatically when there was no wind. The gang walked out of the lab and were shocked to find out there was a question asking 'do you like red, white or blue?' in the floor before being caught in the act by Mr. Silas again. Anthony and Richard appeared behind Mr. Silas as he was reminiscing about his past with the two boys looking for him to continue his class.

Anthony and Richard went to the restroom and they were shocked to see a huge writing of the word 'death' on the restroom's mirror while Anthony commented on the word which was missing a stroke. Anthony and his friends later went to the backyard of the school to have a barbecue session with Mr. Silas before noticing a wildfire in the bushes and he told Candy JEM to back off from it. As Anthony was walking in the corridors of the school, a hand grabbed his shoulder but fortunately Richard managed to stop the hooded figure which grabbed Anthony. The hooded figure explained everything that happened and Anthony believed that what he said was true because the hand that belonged to the figure was preventing him from falling down the stairs instead of pushing him down. Mr. Silas then hit Anthony and his friends on their heads for their impulsiveness and in a flashback, Anthony noticed a notebook on the table and after browsing through it he found out that although Mr. Silas seemed to not care about everything, he still put in a lot of effort in teaching his students. Anthony decided that as long as Mr. Silas stayed at the science lab, he and his friends would not leave him by going away.

Later on Anthony and his friends were on their way to look for Mr. Silas until Richard stopped him by pulling him back and covering his mouth as they saw the hooded figure standing outside the staff room. Anthony attempted to go and stop the figure while Richard stopped him from going and they observed the hooded figure behind a wall. After the flashback ended Anthony told the hooded figure that their assumptions were true judging that the latter was the one who pranked on them in order to chase them away and writing the word 'death' wrongly. Anthony and his friends were astonished when they saw the hooded figure taking off his hood, revealing him as Hansel who is a sufferer of porphyria. Anthony and Richard asked Hansel did he play pranks on them just to take revenge on them and Hansel denied the assumption. Hansel apologized to Anthony for his injury and he forgave him for it.

### Spick & Span: Cleanliness

When Emilia asked Anthony what was happening to Richard when they were carrying books, Anthony replied that Richard was so angry that he wanted to kill somebody. He explained that Richard was behaving in a weird manner as he was cursing somebody the whole day and he reassured Candy JEM that Richard would recover in a while and told them not to worry about him. Anthony later helped Mr. Silas to clean up the science lab alongside Candy JEM, Richard and Hansel.

### Stress-Busters: Stress Management

Anthony was seen competing in the school's basketball tournament and he commented that Corey was an opponent that could not be underestimated. He then wanted Richard to teach a lesson to their juniors and they proceeded to compete. When the tournament was over, Anthony used his experience as a senior to advise his teammates that having good teammates was more important than having good skills. He then noticed something was not wrong before he noticed that Emilia was glaring at Charles and Corey at a distance.

### Be True, Be You: Interests

Anthony, along with Corey, Charles, Alex and Richard were seen being nervous as Joni offered them the food she made for them. As everybody ate the bun made by Joni, Anthony and Richard commented that the bun tasted just like those which were sold outside. As Corey and Charles asked what is an interest class, Richard and Anthony explained to them that interest classes are just like curricular activities, everyone get to use their free time to learn whatever they like aside from academic studies. Anthony then asked Alex on what was her interest while patting on her head and she replied that preparing nutritious food was maybe one of her interests. He said that developing an interest does not necessarily have to spend money and as long as one does something that one likes, that is also considered as an interest. He commented that preparing food was somewhat his interest, thus making Candy JEM to tease him on his and Alex's interest, which made both of them blush.

### Trainee Trouble: Perseverance

Anthony was seen sitting with Alex when they were listening to Joni's story on how Julian managed to avoid himself from being fired from the company he worked in.

### Lady-in-making: Social Etiquette

When Candy JEM was discussing about something while Charles and Corey interrupted loudly, Anthony asked what was going on and Joni showed him, Charles and Corey the flight tickets to Prague that she got from Mikael. Anthony advised her even though she was happy about it she must keep her voice down since they were in school and it may interrupt others. When Emilia asked for the boys' opinions about what was the criteria needed to act like a girl, Anthony answered that girls have to be cute, gentle and sometimes giving off a weak impression.

After Joni returned back to school from her trip to Prague, she told Mia and Emilia that she met a real prince during the ball while Mia and Emilia was fawning over the fact that Joni got to meet the Prince of France in the ball. Their conversation was too loud until it annoyed Anthony, Alex, Corey and Charles.

### The Me You Don't See: Blood

Anthony appeared in Corey's flashback when Corey and Charles asked Richard for Sofia's blood type. He reassured them that Richard's memory was never wrong and he walked away as Richard praised him.

### Banding Against Bullies: Anti-bullying

Anthony was seen walking past and looking at Charles and Mr. Forest who got into a fight.

### Family Ever After: Filial Piety

Anthony was seen staring at Alex and her family in the school's art gallery. When Mrs. Lawson asked why he was not listening to her, he apologized and asked what was her request. She then told him and Andrew that she wanted to have a look at their drawings and she wanted them to take her to see it, which they happily agreed.

### Earth Pals to the Rescue: Environmental Care

Anthony helped Alex to carry the recycled items that she brought from home during the school's recycling day before being dragged away by Andrew for being late for the activity's opening ceremony. After the activity ended, Anthony, Alex and Candy JEM walked back home together. Anthony was concerned of Alex's condition as he saw her being sad due to not having an air con in her house while she replied she was tired lately. As Alex noticed the worried look on Anthony's face, she reassured him and Candy JEM that her condition would be better after the weather turned cool.

Alex was seen smiling happily a few days after her house had an air con when eating with Anthony and Candy JEM. Anthony smiled when he saw Alex chatting happily with Candy JEM and as Joni asked him whether he wanted to join them for a revision session at Alex's house, Andrew showed up behind him and told them that he could not join them as he has extracurricular activities later. Andrew reminded Anthony that they were about to have a conference later and Anthony said there was still 20 more minutes to go before the conference started but Andrew was eager to let him go to the conference early. Before leaving for the conference, Anthony promised Alex he would go to her house should his extracurricular activities end early and smiled at her.

The following day Anthony greeted Alex but was ignored by her. He asked Joni whether his absence to her house yesterday upset her and Joni reassured that it was not his fault. As Alex suddenly cried in the middle of having her lunch, Anthony reprimanded her on whether crying could solve the problem and that she should think of a solution to solve the problem. Alex responded angrily that a poor child like her should not expect to have an air con at home and as a result of her words, Anthony responded angrily to her before walking away. At night when Anthony was walking back home, Richard showed up behind him and he asked Anthony the reason why he was acting suspiciously. Richard explained to Anthony the reason behind Alex's reaction and he assured Anthony that if he apologized sincerely to Alex, she would forgive him. The two boys then saw some neighbors gathering in front of Alex's house during their way to her house and Anthony was shocked to see that Alex's house was burnt down (although her mother put out the fire on time, but the house was still badly burnt). He gave Alex his jacket and comforted her that everything was okay. Hearing the various complaints from the neighbors, Mrs. Wang announced that they would temporarily move away from their house since it was unsafe to live in and Anthony volunteered to let them to stay at his house. After successfully persuading Mrs. Lawson to let Alex and Alan stay at his house, Anthony apologized to Alex for the argument that happened earlier and the two started to apologize to each other until Alan interrupted them by saying that he should apologize. The two laughed and Anthony smiled when seeing Alex hugging her laughing brother.

The next morning Alex cooked a sumptuous breakfast for Anthony, Andrew and Mrs. Lawson. Anthony gave some of his food to her as he told her that he could not finish that much and she could help to finish some food. He also put his baked beans to Andrew's plate when the latter claimed that he hated baked beans and he told Alex to help herself during her stay at his house. At school Anthony reassured Alex as she noticed that the students around her were gossiping and he handed her new school books. After returning home from extracurricular activities in school, Anthony showed a curious look as Alex was wondering to herself the reason why Andrew was hostile towards her.

Candy JEM tasted the snacks that Alex made and Alex responded modestly that her homemade snacks were not as delicious at outside ones with Anthony telling her to accept Candy JEM's praises generously. The following day Anthony and Mrs. Lawson were frightened by Andrew's screaming and Anthony smiled when Mrs. Lawson praised Alex for her ways of saving resources. Anthony later returned home in time as a conflict initiated by Andrew towards Alex was ongoing and he managed to stop the argument by telling Andrew that he was the one who changed instead of him and he was disappointed in the latter.

Anthony asked Alex about Andrew's behavior as they were doing their homework and he reminisced that Alan told him anything that happened just now. He promised Alex that he would reconcile with Andrew when he had the chance and he lectured Alex on how to save resources even when using energy-consuming appliances such as air cons. Candy JEM, Corey, Charles and Ji Won later came to Anthony's house to help out with the making of stationery made from recyclable materials and Anthony served his friends with soft drinks and juices. At night Anthony helped Alex to collect the dishes after dinner and as Alex was hesitating on whether she should go into Andrew's room to help the latter on making the stationery, Anthony appeared behind her and they went into the room together, only to notice that Andrew had fallen asleep. Anthony apologized for Andrew's behavior towards Alex and she told him about Andrew's good deeds despite the personality flaws Andrew showcased towards her, making Anthony smile at her before they continued to work on the stationery.

The next day Anthony asked Andrew to help Alex and Candy JEM to send the stationery to school as he had to leave for a meeting. He then tried to call Andrew with his phone as the news of the two had yet to arrive at school were told by Candy JEM. He visited Andrew, who fainted as a result of extensive exercise in the infirmary and told him that he did not leave Alex alone despite his dislike towards her and that her hard work was not paid off thanks to him helping her. Anthony patted Andrew on his head as he heard him telling that although he initially did not have the intention to help Alex, he helped her in the end as he did not want his older brother to be disappointed with him. Anthony was seen listening to Candy JEM and Alex's responses regarding the charity bazaar and he was last seen glaring at Andrew after the latter screamed angrily at Alex that he would like him.

### Play or Pay: Traditional Games

When Charles was attempting to tell Mr. Jiang that although everybody liked him, but Mr. Forest was still the best teacher in his heart, he heard somebody demanding him to give his name and class to him. Charles turned his head and noticed that Anthony and Andrew were on duty at the school gate and Anthony told Charles that Mr. Jiang was called to the headmaster's office and they were asked to be on duty at the school gate. Anthony then demanded Candy JEM, Charles and Corey to give their names and classes to them until Joni asked them why Mr. Jiang was called to the headmaster's office.

### In This Together: Unity

Anthony appeared behind Sofia and Joni who were bickering with each other and in an attempt to buy time for Candy JEM and Sofia to enter the school, Richard placed his arm on Anthony's shoulder while telling him that he is his best friend and he invited him to participate in a basketball match. Noticing that Sofia and Candy JEM were gone, Anthony got mad at Richard and decided to let him take the punishment that was originally intended for the girls. Anthony then hit Richard on his head angrily when Richard laughed at Sofia's reaction to his smile.

The next day when Alex and Candy JEM were singing in school, Anthony stopped them and he gave Alex her lunch. Joni showed him the video of them singing together and after he watched it, he encouraged Alex to participate in the singing competition and she agreed by nodding her head while blushing. During the basketball practicing session, Richard asked Anthony whether he was mad at him while Anthony denied and telling him that his standing position was wrong. Knowing that Candy JEM had recommended Alex to be their fourth member, Anthony caught the ball before it could strike Richard's face. Anthony told him that even though the strongest athlete will have failing times and if one is incapable of cooperating with teammates, they will not succeed in competitions. He and Richard proceeded to teach their juniors a lesson by becoming serious. As Eason showed up in the school hall listening to Candy JEM and Sofia's performance, Anthony and Richard asked him why a stranger was in their school and Anthony attempted to bring Eason to the staff room which he eventually succeeded.

Anthony bumped into Eason again during the actual day of the preliminaries of the singing competition and he grabbed him by his shirt while ordering him to come with him, but he was interrupted when one of Eason's teammates asked him to go to prepare for the competition. Knowing that Eason was one of the participants of the singing competition, Anthony let go of him and he told Alex about it. After the preliminaries was over and Candy JEM failed, Anthony asked Alex why was she still sitting in the audience and he explained to her the importance of unity between teammates. When Candy JEM was about to look for Sofia who ran away as a result of being reprimanded by Richard and Alex was about to tag Anthony in searching for Sofia together, Anthony revealed that he and Richard are best friends since Year 1 and he told Candy JEM and Alex to advise Sofia so that she would not hold grudge towards Richard because of his words towards her. Anthony thought to himself that those who understand Richard are few and if it comes to those Richard truly cares for, he will become stubborn as compared to his usual self.

Anthony appeared behind Richard as he was looking at Candy JEM, Sofia, Zara and Qistina behind a wall. He told Richard that he came to inform him that Mr. Silas was asking whether he could send the remaining 15 books to him as he only sent 23 books to him. As Richard laughed at the fact that it was impossible for Sofia to apologize to him, Anthony told him that he seldom acted like this and at least he was honest to himself. Anthony also told Richard that his personality angered him several times ever since they knew each other but although the hardships Richard faced, he still managed to put up a cheerful front and that was probably the reason their friendship lasted for so long and this trait of his was admired by Anthony.

Before basketball practicing started, Anthony noticed Richard rushing into the break room and told him to change his clothes for the practicing session. Anthony asked Richard three questions (whether he met Sofia, did Sofia listen to his explanations and did Sofia accept his apology) and Richard answered yes for all questions. A relieved Anthony was about to go to the basketball court before Richard stopped him by yelling that he was very sad as he had told Sofia about everything regardless of its appropriateness to her. After the singing competition ended, Anthony was shown being concerned with Richard as the gang saw Eason giving Sofia his phone number and expressed his preference in her sense of style.

### Daddy-go-lucky: Safety

Anthony was shown studying in class alongside Richard and his other classmates.
