When they about to go out. Mikaela said at them. " Congrats both of you, let's celebrate later your graduation party, also Sam's friend, come to our house.. join us." as she smiles widely.
"See you later, my lovely sister!, bring my gift!" Sam shouts.
"Hey! This is a hospital, don't shout." Larry said to him as he got pissed off at Sam's behavior.
___________________________________
They are walking on the street, still wearing their graduation gown. Sam found a street food court and he immediately grabbed larry's hands to run.
"Hey! Where did you want to take me again! Hey! Can you please walk not run?!" Larry yelled while they are running.
They get in on the street food court and Sam sat down as he got excited for himself. "Sit, here. I'm hungry, let's grab some snack. I'll be right back." Sam replied, he took a look at the foods to order and larry waits for him.
when he came back on the table after ordering those foods and he saw nothing there. He got confused where larry is, he put down those foods on the tray and he rushes looked for Larry.
"Hey! Larry! Where are you?" He yelled as searching for him. He asks some random people around the street and to that court. "Did you see the tall boy who sat here earlier. That wore a graduation gown?"
"I haven't seen him." The girl responded. he kept searching for him as he got nervous. He saw the diploma at the corner and immediately took it from the ground. He followed it and he saw larry was beaten by the four muscular guys.
"Hey! Stop it!" Sam yelled. The guy looked at him and he walked towards Samuel.
"Hey! Don't touch him!" Larry shout as the blood was coming in his mouth. The three guys held him not to move and covered his mouth not to make noise.
"Who are you little pony? You know him? Is he your boyfriend?" He asks sam and they laugh annoyingly. When the guy was about to touch Sam's cheeks the police siren suddenly rang and they when heard it, the four masculine guys run from them. After they left, Sam immediately helps Larry to stand up.
"Why you haven't followed me? I said stay still there." He said while his tears are falling on his cheek.
"why are you crying all of sudden? I can't wipe your tears on your cheek, my hand covered with blood. So don't cry. I'm fine." he replied and he smile.
"because i felt nervous that's why i cried and how can you smile at this situation. You jerk." Sam said while his hands are shaking..
"Don't come near me. Your graduation gown will mess by the blood."
Sam helps him to walk heading into the clinic near their school.
The doctor were talking about it as they listening.
"Oh, gladly your nose bridge wasn't broke.. but you should be careful next time. your brain will give up soon if you do this again." The doctor said as larry were just laying down on the bed.
"Are you his friend?" The doctor asks Sam.
"Y.. yes, I'm his friend." Sam replied awkwardly.
"Friend, my ass." Larry said then he tossed around as he got pissed off.
The Doctor and Sam look at each other after they heard what larry said, "You must take a look for him." The doctor said to him.
"I will." Sam replied.
When the doctor was about to turn around, Sam asks him. "How long we will stay here, doc?" He asks.
"You can leave right now if you want." He replied to Sam. They leave the clinic while Sam still holding and guiding larry until they took one cab.
"Where's your house direction?" Sam asks.
"You can go home first, I can go home to my own-
"No, I must take you to your house first."
"Do what you want." He replied, annoyed.
"We are a senior next month. You should focus on your studies, don't you?" Sam said as he sees the view outside of the cab. "You need to study very hard, you said you will going to be an English teacher?.. You must get the schol-
Sam got wondered why Larry were muted at all. When he looks at him, Larry has fallen already asleep. After they arrived at Larry's home, he saw Larry's mom hanging their laundry as she cooks dinner. he immediately runs into her and he grabbed the hanger from her hands.
"Let me do this, auntie.. go to your kitchen and cook for your dinner." Sam said.
Larry got pissed off and he went directly to the kitchen.
larry's mom looks at sam awkwardly nor shy. "N.. no you must go home now." She summons him. "You don't need to do it."
"No, auntie. Go and cook for your dinner, Larry is sick right now." Sam replied
After she heard that what sam said, she immediately runs inside at his son's room but she saw nothing. She went out and searching for larry. "Larry? My dear son? Where are you?" She yelled nervously, Larry is in the kitchen continuing what his mother cooking.
"You're here, my son. Are you sick? Your friend said that you're sick. What's wrong with your face? Did you get to fight again?" She asks as she touched Larry's face while being paranoid.
"Where's Sam, mom?" Larry asks.
Sam were singing while hanging the clothes. Suddenly, Larry went to him and he crossed his arms in the corner. "What do you think are you doing?"
"Hanging all clothes. Why?" Sam replied. "Its obviously, i'm holding the hanger."
"You should go back to your home, it's already 7:00pm. I'm sure your mom will gonna worry about you." and he took the hanger from Sam's hand.
"After I finished this, I will go home. I promised to your mom I'll do this for her-
"The dinner is ready, come here. And you.. come here, eat dinner here before you leave. " kairo's mom said to him.
Sam felt awkward when he heard it, ."No, a.. auntie. I'm going back home, I finished the-
"Accept the grace that orders gave to you, don't show mannerless." Larry replied to Sam.
"What? Did I shown mannerless to your mo-
"You two go inside, stop arguing each other." His mom stops them as her smile in front of them.
After Sam ate the dinner that Larry's mom offered to him, he went out to go home. "I'm going to go home, auntie.. go inside now it's cold." Sam said to her.
"I'll go accompany him outside, mom." Larry said "ok, good evning have a safe ride." and his mom went inside.
He walks into Sam's front. "I'll accompany you outside until you take a cab." he said and they went outside to for taxi.
"Um, thank you for today." as he felt awkward and he can't look at sam's eyes directly.
The taxi stop at their front and he went inside. "Make sure to guard yourself. Don't thank me, that's for you." He replied as he smile and the taxi drive away at another city where he live.
"What kind of boy he is." Larry said on himself as he got confuse, suddenly he smile out of nowhere, he realize that he's smiling and he scold himself as walking, coming back inside his house.
after he accompany sam, he helps his mother to clean the dishes.
"He's a kind boy, how did you meet him?" His mother asked.
"I met him in school, when I ran faster and bumped onto him, but wasn't lucky I broke his cassette." He replied to his mom.
"I beg your pardon? You broke his cassette? does have you already brought his cassette back?" She asks.
"Not yet, mom." He replied while he focuses on cleaning those plate.
"How much is that? maybe his mom will go to scold him if his mom knew that you broke it." She said, madly.
"Cost... worth of $70 from U.S.. His sister bought it for hi-
After his mother heard it, she startled about the cost. "What? $70? Gracious goodness we don't have money that to pay him back. Additional to your hospital bill that he covered for you. " She said, worrying at him.
"I told him to pay him back weekly. I'll find some part time Jobs. " He replied.
After he finished cleaning he went to his room and he lay down. He thinks about Sam. "Why is he kind to me?" He asks himself while looking at the ceiling.
Sam returned back to his house and his mom were already fallen asleep on the couch a while was waiting for him. He saw his mom sleeping peacefully, he walks slowly and quietly into his room.
"Where did you go? It's late. Did you skip dinner? I've fallen asleep while waiting for you. Answer my question where did you go!?" His mom yelled suddenly and he got startled as he freezes after his mom woke up and began to scold him.
"At my friend's house." He replied and he smiled fakely at his mom awkwardly.
She about to run into his son, holding her slipper to hit Sam But his son quickly went inside of his room and he locked the door immediately.
"Hey! Open his door or I'll smack this." She yelled.
"Mom! Go back to sleep, I'm fine!"
His mom got angry that he came back home late. "Open this! I'll hit you with my slipper!" She kept yelling but Sam doesn't mind her and he lay on his bed. "I'm tired." He told on himself.
When he about to close his eyes, he saw Larry and he opens it immediately. "Why did I felt worried about him. Why he keeps entering my mind." He said himself while looking at the ceiling. "Jeez, you think too much. Go sleep now!"
Morning came and Sam woke up early to throw the trash outside. When he suddenly heard some weird noise and he followed it. He saw the four guys who beaten up Larry yesterday. The four guys were planning something. He got to wonder why the those guys are there., "larry house is quite far from here, but why.."
He immediately runs, go back to his house and he took a shower immediately.
"Why are you hurrying? You don't have class. You've just graduated yesterday. Hey! Why are you running? Hey! Where did you g-
Sam hurried up running to take some cab and drive away into larry's house. After he arrived, he immediately knock on the gate. Larry's mom opened the door for him.
"Who is.. why are you here? Larry is not here-
"Where is he?" He asks while he's gasping.
"He's in the convenience store left on the street, why yo-
he runs quickly until he gets in the convenience store. He saw Larry doing his job. He hides as watching him from the corner.
He notices that there's four guys walking far away and he took a look carefully. He was shocked and he immediately entered the convenience store.
"Hey! Why are you here?" Larry asks him.
"Don't mind me. Let me stick to your side." Sam replied.
Larry got confused and he kept asking him. "Why are you here? and-
The bell on the door rang and it was the four guys who entered the convenience store. Larry got startled and he got mad suddenly.
"Hey! What are you doing here? " he asks them.
"To beat you up, I guess. " The boss said and he smirk.
Suddenly Sam joined their conversation to stop them. "What are you doing here? Don't you ever touch him or else I'll cut your each tongue." he said, bravely.
The four guys look at each other and they laugh, he took his sharp knife out of his pocket. "You such a dorks, how will you cut our tong-
Sam suddenly pointed the gun to them and larry got startled that Sam has a gun. "Try to touch him again or else I'll go to make your brain explode. " he said without hesitation.
"boss he has a gun." other boy whispered his boss.
"Let's go back. " He command to his boys. "we will go to come back. Just what I'll going kill you." The boss said to Larry while pointing his knife and they go outside.
After they went outside, Sam smirked, but Larry still shocked that Sam has a gun. "Hey! Put down that. Where did you take that? Is that a real one?" Larry asks him, confusedly.
Sam pointed it as a teased for him.
"Don't joke like that!" Larry yelled.
"Calm down, this is not a real. It's a toy gun that seems real. I took this gun from my second cousin and left it to my bed." he replied.
"You scared me, I though it was real." Larry said to him. "But why are you here?" asking him.
"I heard weird noise in the cross street near my house, I followed it and I saw them gathering and they seem planing something. So I went to your house and asks your mother where you are then she replied that you are here." Sam explains all to him.
"They will gonna kill me, for real." Larry said.
Sam got confused, but he all can do was staring at Larry.
Hours later, Sam acting like a weirdo guard beside larry while they are walking. he got worried that the four guys will might come back and kill Larry for real.
"Hey! What are doing. You like an idiot." He said to him and sam glared at him.
"I must protect you, they will might kill you." and he gesture his hand like a gun.
"Go, I can take care of myself. Your mom will gonna worried about you."
Sam pointed his gesture hand like a gun to him, "No, I'll prot-
His phone rang suddenly and they stop walking. "Wait a minute, I'm going to answer this call." He said. "Hey. my lovely sister?.. what's up.. ok, we will be right there." He said through the phone.
After he end the call and he look at larry.
"why? why are you looking at me like that?" he asks sam.
"My sister wants you to join the graduation celebration." Sam replied to him.
"In your house, right?" and sam nodded at him.
They immediately went to his house and larry got felt awkward around them.
"Don't be shy.. sit and our celebration.. I'm thankful that Sam got a new friend because before he can't make friends.. he is weirdo and nerd that likes to listened on his cassette and read many books also-
"and what? , enough that.. don't want to hear it, it make me sick! " Sam cut his sister's sentence.
"it's true.. i'm saying the truth." his sister said it again.
"Enough you two, we have visited. why you both acting weird and idiots like you two arguing something that reminds me before when you two are just kids." their mom said to them, madly.
"So by the way, where's the present I gave it-
"I'm still craving, sis.. grilled that pork for me. Please. " Sam cut his sister's sentence just to hide his broken cassette from his sister.
"Jeez, dig it up." She said and she putted the grilled pork on Sam's plate. She putted two piece of grilled pork on Larry's plate too. "Dig up. Help yourself, eat up." She said. "don't be shy." As putting some piece pork at larry's plate.
Larry ate awkwardly together with them as he takes the food that sam's sister given to him,. "Thank you." as smiling awkwardly.
"I just notice.. what happened to your face?" She asks Larry.
He put down his spoon to speak. "I.. I-
"You got in trouble? Or fight? " Mikaela asks him.
They got confused. "Why did ask him like that? You know it? Maybe he just slipped outside that slippery. " Their mom said to Mikaela.
Sam pinched his sister's leg secretly.
"ouch, what are you doing, you dumbass." she said madly at sam as she itching his leg.
"No, it's just a little bit scratch. I have cats in our home." Larry replied to them.
"See, it's just a scratch from cats. Did you involving in fight or in trouble?" Sam's mom asked Larry.
He just stared at her that he doesn't know how to answer her questions and sam notice it that larry couldn't speak when his mom ask it to him.
"Mom, no more question.. we are classmates. He didn't do fight or making trouble." Sam replied to her.
"Ok, just dig up. Help yourself, enjoy the celebration." Mikaela said to them.
