Rum's Pov
I was just finished listening to my mother's rants, but know Lei has given me a more surprising one.
I came late today, that my usual coming to school time. I had to help my Mother, with her school works. I hope the teacher would still let me go to class. Since I already missed two classes.
I was driving my car on the way to the parking lot when a person went in front of the car to stop me.
It was Denver's Friend Lei, Who looked panicking, as if a very big disaster has happen.
Lei came closer to the driver's seat and knocked on to the window. I don't know what she's doing so I opened the window to communicate with her.
"Why are you so late!?" Lei looked worried.
Since The issue of Denver started, everyone became closer to me already. Denver helped me to have more interaction with everyone.
I've been stuck with Nick and Bob since high school. (Not that I'm complaining)
"What's the matter?!" I asked her back.
I've been able to talk more casually with my friends, and Denver's.
"Dude, Something's happening In the building right know. Do you remember Denve's phone got lost?" Lei told me.
"uh-huh"
"It happened again. your Pictures and all of that stuff. You know how Denver would react right?"
I nodded at her.
I told her to go To Denver first while I park this car. I cant just leave this here or else it would be a violation for me.
After I parked it properly I directly went back to the canteen, which is closest to our building. When I arrived there, my friends Nick and Bob are already waiting. They thought I need a back-up when it comes to controlling my temper.
"Are you Ready?" Nick asked. maybe they thought I'm going to get wild. (Let's see)
I nodded in response. we started walking towards the building, we noticed there were no students standing in the hallway, like they do everyday. Is this what Lei meant?
Even before reaching the second floor, I can hear Students murmuring.
I saw Denver Tearing something in the bulletin board, one by one. I was now standing near the stairs, I tried my best not to get noticed but somehow I did.
"Hmm" Bob made a sound. Which made everyone turn to our direction.
As soon as they saw me, everyone started backing off. I don't know what Aura I'm giving them, but every time I'm around they either get afraid or nervous.
Denver also noticed me. He looked so tired with his appearance. I don't have anything to do with this situation, until I remembered Denver had a headache yestesday.
I came closer to him.
His Friends Sue, Dhaine, Timothy, Johan, Blanche and Lei were also helping him tear all the papers in the bulletin board of the building.
I got curious from what were they doing, so I picked up one torn paper from the floor and was shock.
the picture was a screenshot of a conversation Denver and I had last week.
the conversation:
Denver: Yoh! What's up Partner?
Rum: uh-huh.
Denver: Can you be nice sometimes.
Rum: ok fine. Have you eaten?
Denver: Why do you ask? Are you my Boyfriend?
Rum: uh-huh. Boy Friend.
As soon as I finished Reading the conversation, I gave everyone an angry look. To be honest, this kind of situation is not a big deal for me.
If everyone thinks you're in a relationship so what? As long as you yourself know what's really happening between the both of you.
I don't care if this happen, but For Denver, it does.
I noticed every paper on the floor has something to do with Denver and me. From pictures Denver took, to the conversations we had privately.
Denver's phone got lost the other day, someone took it and did this.
I turned my attention to Denver who was still tearing everything on the board. I called for his name and he immediately turned towards me.
I felt bad for him. Since last Monday Denver was not feeling well. Yesterday, we talked using his mother's phone and I can sense he's sick from the other line.
Today, Denver faced me with his eyes that looks so sickly. he was all wet from his sweat, and was breathing very hard.
we stared at each other for a few minutes, and I can feel his sadness and anger. He doesn't know what to feel, so to hide his real feelings to everyone, he walked out.
"Rum follow him. He's sick" Dhaine told me.
Even without Dhaine's command I was planning to follow Denver.
"Continue to remove that" I told her.
Before going down the building, I signaled Bob and Nick. They understand immediately what I want them to do.
I followed Denver as he walked towards the parking lot.
He is in no condition to drive. I thought to myself. Every single one of his friends have told me everything about Denver. One of them, was to not let Denver Drive if he's sick.
I have no plan in disobeying that.
I walked silently as I followed him. I was about to shout at him, to tell him not to drive when something happened.
From afar, I saw Denver lost his balance.
I moved faster towards him. Denver Clarke is about to faint.
Denver became more weird as I move closer to him, he become more out balanced as time goes by.
I came closer towards him, until he completely lost his consciousness and fell into my arms.
******************************************************************************
I carried him towards the school clinic which is located at the other end of the school.
Surprisingly, Denver was lighter than I expected him to be. I mean, from his build he's shockingly lighter.
is he that light, or am I just heavier than him?
His body was very hot, I could feel it as his body touched mine while I carry him. He was still sweating, even my uniform got wet.
I feel Bad and sorry for what happened, I'll do my best to solve this.
He was still unconscious when we reached the clinic, so I waited there until he wakes up.
I talked with The class nurse about Him, when she said he's just Okay and the reason he fainted was because of stress, I felt more sorry for Denver.
He had careful with his actions since the first day, but it seems like trouble always finds a way to bother him.
And somehow, all those problems has something to do with me.
I can recall his first problem was about me claiming him as mine. It was just a mistake, but it made the whole school start rumors about us.
second, was the group video and third was this issue.
It took long for Denver to regain his consciousness, but when he did I felt both happy and relieved.
I ran towards the clinic bed, where Denver was lying down.
"Denver, are you ok now?" I asked him.
When he fainted in my arms I felt a huge responsibility came towards me. It made me feel guilty that his stress was somehow my fault.
I know Denver was still not okay when he just nodded at me as a response.
"You're lying!" I tried my best not to get angry or frustrated, but I don't know why seeing him like this makes me feel sad and angry.
the nurse told him to get back to rest, and as soon as he got back to sleep I said goodbye to him and said I will comeback later.
Right now, I have more serious issue to solve.

Lei's Pov (special)
As soon as Rum left to follow the sick Denver, everyone stared at each other blankly. Some students were still trembling with fear after Rum gave them a kill stare.
And I'm one of the few who was not intimidated.
Nick and Bob gathered everyone in one classroom, which is of course Mr. Delo Santos' classroom.
Me and the rest of the "Find the Culprit squad" seated at the front most portion of the classroom, while the others seated at the back.
After Denver and Rum, the highest ranking officer in this classroom is Nick and me. Since Rein was not around.
After a long time of waiting, everyone became attentive when Bob received a call. He putted it in a loud speaker so all of us heard the conversation.
Person: Is everyone there?
Bob: Yes, Rum.
on the other line was Rum, who sounded furious.
Rum said to wait for him in the classroom. Everyone except me, Nick, Bob, And Denver's best friends, became sweaty.
We waited for him to come, until we heard a banging sound on the door.
Everyone was Shocked.
Rum entered the Door with his face looking all Angry. On his hand was a trash bag filled with all the papers we tore earlier. Papers where private photos and conversations of Rum and Denver were printed.
Of course, he would be furious!
When Rum was already in front of us, he stared at each one of us. Then threw the trash bag in front of us.
"Who did it!?" Rum shouted at us, his voices echoed all over the room.
I saw some students were about to cry. To hide it, everyone lowered their heads.
I've never seen Rum Ocampo so Angry before, and even though I haven't, his appearance was still intimidating. I understand the feeling of these students, at the moment.
"Who did it!" Rum repeated. This time his voice was louder.
"Calm Down Rum!" Said Dhaine, a friend of Denver.
"How can I calm Down! These people are so malicious!"
"We can solve it." Said Sue.
Somehow, It made Rum calm. These people who spoke know Denver, better than anyone in this room. So, I guess it made Rum calm and assured.
After Rum was calmed, he turned towards the other students, and then spoke.
"Listen!" he started.
" Our relationship is not your business, Why would you spread rumors to ruin our friendship?"
And he walked out.
Rum was right. You should not do something that can harm other people's reputation. Especially if its someone who's as fragile as Denver.
But, I just hope the best for the person behind this. For I know Everyone, especially Rum and Bob will not stop until they find him.
Everyone was left confused and terrified to Rum. All I have to do now, is brighten up there mood.
"Ok, Everyone. Lets Clean Up and go to our next class."
THIS IS THE LAST CHAPTER OF PART TWO "UNCOMMON FRIENDSHIP"..... THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT
