(Clarence Traves Guevara)
I just arrived at the campus, it's 9:45 am already, I rush to the fourth floor where the Engineering department was, good thing that I also an Engineering student, but the Mechanical Engineering was on the right wing of the building while the Marine Engineering, the course I've been enrolled was on the left wing. When I already at the fourth floor I walked through where was Yasha's classroom is
When I already outside of Yasha's classroom, I looked inside. Their instructor was there, he's busy discussing about the rankine cycle. I searched for Yasha, but when I saw her I noticed that she's languor. I know that she love this subject, that's why she's so hyper everytime this what their studying. But now, it's looks like there's something happened to her.
I was still looking at her when someone called me.
"Clarence, what are you doing there?" Xyron asked me, that just got here at the fourth floor.
"Ah nothing." then I walked towards his direction.
"Let's go, our instructor maybe already at the classroom" him, then, we both walked all the way to our classroom.
~~~
By 12 pm I walked as fast as I can to the cafeteria, Yasha's waiting me there. I already at the cafeteria, when I saw her, she was looking somewhere.
I ordered food for our lunch, when I already get our food, I sat beside her.
"Here's your food"
"T-thanks" she said, then she took her food from me.
We eat quietly, no one bother to talk, I don't know why it looks like there's something happened to her earlier today. I noticed that she keep on looking at our left side, that's why I looked there also, and now I already know what she looking at.
There were Samantha and Eugine happily talking to each other and I know that they didn't feel our presence. I glance at Yasha, and I know that she's hurt right now.
Then after a minute there's are tears suddenly fell from Yasha eyes. She hurriedly wipe off those tears, but I already saw all of that, and even how hard she wipe off her tears it still falling from her eyes.
I startled when she suddenly stood up and ran all the way out of the campus. I looked at Eugine, he also looking at Yasha, but he didn't bother to stand up to follow Yasha. He looked at me, that's why I gave him a deadly glare, then follow Yasha.
I here outside the campus, I looked around so that I can see Yasha immediately, and there I saw Yasha, she just ride at the cab that stopped at her front.
I rushed to the parking lot and immediately ride my car and started the engine, I accelerated my speed so that I can catch up with cab that Yasha rode, and after a couple of minutes I already saw the cab that Yasha was in, until it stopped at the front of their house.
I got out of my car and follow her to their house, good thing that all the maids here knew me, that's why the let me in. I go straight to her room and tried to open it but it was lock from the inside. I decided to just knock at her door.
"Yasha, Yasha, open the door please, let's talk" I said while knocking at her door. But no response. That's why I don't stop on knocking. "Yasha, I just here if you want to talk about it"
then I sit at the front of her room, maybe after 5 minutes the door suddenly opened and she's still crying, I stood up, she walked to her bed, I followed her. She sat down on her bed, I sat beside her.
I wait her to talk, but she stayed quiet while sobbing, that's why I decided to talk first.
"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked her, I wait a couple of minutes before she answer.
"This is what I want to happened, right? But why did I got hurt?" her, and she burst on tears again. I came closer to her, then I hug her.
"Yes, this is what you want to happened, but we can't just removed the love that we gave to the person that we love for a long time" I said to her, then I rubbed her back. "For now, you're hurt, but the time will come that the pain you feel right now will fade and the both of you will be happy" I said while still rubbing her back.
She's still crying, while me comforting her, maybe an hour had passed of her crying that's makes her fell asleep.
I slowly lay her in her bed then I covered her with her blanket.
Before I left Yasha's room I looked at her first and then I go straight to the maid that near from me, then said.
"When Yasha's awake make sure that she'll eat, okay?"
"Yes sir" she answered and I left the house of Yasha then I ride my car, then looked at my wristwatch, it's already 4:30 pm, I'm sure that he's home.
I started my car's engine, then I drove it all the way to Eugine's house. After 20 minutes I already at Eugine's house, and that exact time he just arrived from the school, I hurriedly got out of my car and punch him as strong as I can, and that's the reason why he fell.
"Clarence, what's your problem?" Jayzel asked me and ran to Eugine
"Asked your older brother." I said, Eugine stood up.
"Thank you for taking care of her"
"Taking care of her? Huh? Seriously? Yes, I can take care of her and you, what are you doing? You're hurting her and when you hurt her again, you'll get more than that punch" I said to him and I rode my car again.
I decided to go at the park where I brought Yasha yesterday to calm myself. When I arrived there I sat at the bench, and I looked at the whole park. As usual, there's a lot of people here, because of the booths, it'd stay here for a week.
"I told you, we'll see each other again." I looked at my side, and there the girl from yesterday, she's here again.
"Clarisse, right?" I asked her.
"You're right, Clarence. So, where's your girlfriend?"
"She's not my girlfriend, she's my best friend"
"Ahh, I thought she's---, hmm, nevermind?"
"I looks like, you're here everyday. Are you waiting for someone?"
"No, I'm not, I just want to think about something."
"Think about something?"
"Yup"
"About what?"
"To all the things that's happening to me right now, I don't know if my decision is right, but maybe tomorrow, I'll decide right, I hope" she said, I don't know why she's comfortably talking to me, but I listening to her.
"I'll assure you that your decision is right. And I hope she'll pass through all the problem she's facing right now" I don't know why I also opening up to her.
"You're talking about your best friend, right?"
"Yeah"
"I'll assure you, she'll pass through all the problems that she's facing right now, the right time will come for that" I smiled because she just copy what I said. And I already calmed.
"By the way Clarence, nice to meet you again, and see you soon, I think." then she walked to somewhere, I just looked at her back, until she lost at my sight.

Next day, by 9 am I already at the school, even my class starts by 9:30 pa, well, it's because Yasha class starts by 9 am.
When I arrived at the school I go first at the annex building their first period will be held there. But I don't see her there, that's why I go at the main building and looked for here there.
It's lunch, and I already at the cafeteria, I'm waiting for Yasha, her class was until 12 pm. Amythys and Marguax are here, Hannah still have a class, that's why the only one that were waiting for was Yasha. I looked at the Amythys and Marguax when they suddenly stood up.
"Where are you going?" I asked them.
"We'll buy our lunch, how about you? Aren't you buying some lunch?" Marguax asked me
"Later, I'll wait for Yasha"
"Huh? You didn't know? Yasha was absent. Her mom ran her at the hospital last night?" Amythys
"Why? What happened to her?"
"Her mom said, She was dehydrated"
"What hospital she's in right now?" and I suddenly stood up.
After Amythys told me what hospital Yasha was confined I hurriedly ran out of the campus.
I go first at the bakeshop to buy a mocha cake for Yasha, before I go at the hospital.
When I arrived at the hospital, I asked the information desk if what room was Yasha admitted, then I went straight to that room.
Before I enter to her room I knocked first. When I opened the door Yasha was the only one inside the room. She looked at me, and as soon as she saw me tears suddenly fell from her eyes.
