("Don't find me if you gets woken up, I granted your wish. I hope you will recover fast, I'm sorry that I'm always a stubborn kid and making you annoyed, I'm not going to make you mad anymore and never close to you this time. Enjoy your breakfast.)

"Philip? Let's go to the cafeteria, I felt hungry. " Sam said to philip and they goes pass besides him as sam ignored him. he stares at sam and he went to his chair.

The hours are running and they are fucosing the discussion, after their first class time. He was walking into the cafeteria alone. He saw Sam again and he called, "Sam! Sam-

"Hey, Sam.. heading to the library? You already finished, you're break lunch?" Kairo asks him.

"Yeah.. let's go now." Sam replied as he glimpse at larry and he ignored him.

"Let's go." Kairo said as he holds sam's shoulder.

Larry was staring at them and he felt angry without any reason. He went to the drink machine to buy some soda but suddenly one pretty girl bumped into him and he startled.

"I'm sorry I didn't know you're there." The girl said as she apologizes to him.

At the library where sam and Kairo are studying.

"I felt sleepy." Sam told on himself.

"You're not studying? You don't have energy any more?" Kairo asks him and he nodded as a kairo smile to him.

"Wait me here, I'm going to get some drinks to get energized again." Sam replied to him and he went to drink machine to buy some soda and he saw larry and the girl smiling at each other.

"I'm Mara, I'm really sorry.. here your drink." She said and she handed the can of soda to larry.

"Yeah, it's nothing.. by the way I'm larry. " He replied as he smiles at mara and he took the soda from her hand.

Sam got confused and he felt upset but he ignored it, he directly went to his room.

Kairo was waiting for an half of hour for him, "why he didn't come back yet?" He asks himself and he looks at his watch. "Oh, it's time.. but his books are here, I'll just bring this and give it to him later." He added and clean the desk.

Sam was sitting on his chair and Larry went inside of the room, he was starring him but larry avoiding eye contact with him and he sat down on his chair.

"Hey, Philip wanna-

Suddenly the students in the classroom are starting to make a noise and they startled, "Ow! The beautiful girl is here. What are you doing here, your highness. " Their guy classmate said and they all shouting.

"Does Larry is here? " She asks them.

Sam got confused after he heard it. "What's wrong with her? " asking himself and he glimpse at larry.

"Hey! Tough boy, your highness is looking for you.. does our cute girl here at school was taken by this guy?" His classmate said and they laugh as pointed at larry.

Mara was waiting for him outside the room, so he stood up and he went close to her.

She got blush and shyly said, "here, you drop your student card earlier." as she handed it.

Larry immediately took it and he smile at her, "Thank you." He replied, mara were smiling shyly at him.

sam were just watching them and he felt annoyed all of sudden.

"Woah! Really? Does Mara is into him? How come?" Philip asks sam.

"Why did you asks me? You should ask him." he replied annoyingly. "She ain't beautiful, though." he said himself.

" I think my rival will be larry. Jeez, larry is a good looking boy, I can't beat him." Philip said and sam ignored them all. 'those assholes."

After the class, philip and sam was waking into the gate, he was feeling tired, "I'm tired solving the math now." He said while they are walking.

Suddenly he saw mara walking on the right path and he followed it by his eyes and he saw larry there. he is just staring at them and they continue to walk.

"Hi.. I'm sorry, if I kept close to you, but can we friends?" Mara asks larry as she shy.

Larry was staring at sam and he didn't hear Mara's word, "come again? What did you say?"

sam glance at them as he stop, "Hey? Sam? Are you ok? Why did you stop? Let's go now. I felt tired." Philip said to him and they continue walking into the outside of the school.

"I said if it's ok with you, can we make friends?" Mara asked him again.

"Ok, sounds cool." Larry replied and he run faster, he left mara alone there and he chased sam outside but he didn't reach him. mara got confused why larry left him.

While Sam was walking alone, he felt weird, he felt someone. He walks faster as he could and he felt scared, he turned around but he saw nothing.

"Hey!" Kairo surprised him and he startled, "for god's sake.. who's this son of a bitch." he curse as he trembling.

Kairo laugh at him, "what's wrong with you? You felt scared? You sweat so much." as he wipes sam's sweat on the face.

"you startled me."

"i'm sorry, by the way, your books, you left this earlier and you didn't come back." Kairo replied as he handed it to him.

He took it from Kairo and he put it in his bag, "Thank you.. by the way I'm going to my dorm now." Sam said and suddenly the car stopped in front of them.

"You will go to your dorm now? I'm going to accompany you, hop on the car." Kairo replied and he opens the door for sam.

"Umm, I.. I think I'm ok, you can go home, first." he replied as he smiles awkwardly at him.

"Why? You should come with me.. the sun will goes down and i can't see cabs here." Kairo said as he waits for him.

he smiles at kairo and went inside of the car, "Thank you for this."

"It's nothing.. uncle, please go to the dormitory, I'm going to take him to his dorm." Kairo said to his driver and they drove away.

Larry was watching them and he felt weird, he felt heavy on his chest that he couldn't explain what's wrong with him after he saw them. He went back to his house and he drank all his beer in his refrigerator. "It's sucks."

After he got drunk he slept on the sofa and he didn't attend the school in the next morning.

Sam got confused why larry did not arrive at the school, he looks at his watch and it's already time to class, "Hey? Where's Larry?" Philip asks him.

"I don't know too. Why did you ask me, just go to him and ask him." Sam replied madly.

"I'm just asking, why are you yelling at me."

"I'm not yelling at you!" Sam shouts.

"Earlier you yelled at me, this time you shouted at me.. jeez, this life." Philip said and glared at him.

He kept looking at his watch and suddenly their teacher came inside to the room and he started to worry. "Why he hasn't attended the class?"

"Philip?" The teacher said.

"Present, ma'am, " he replied.

Sam was staring at Larry's chair as he floats his mind.

"Samuel?" The teacher called him, but he didn't hear it. "Samuel?" The teacher called him again.

Philip noticed that sam was not on his mind so he poke it with his hand, "Hey! Sam.. the teacher is calling you."

"Y.. yes ma'am? I.. I mean present ma'am." Sam said awkwardly and his classmate was staring at him.

"What's wrong with him?" His classmate said and he acts properly.

"Samuel, you should pay attention next time.. what's wrong with you, why are you out of your mind?" The teacher asks him.

"N.. nothing ma'am." Sam replied.

"Ok.. Larry?" The teacher called, but she heard nothing. "Where's Larry?" She asks him.

"His absent, ma'am." The class president said.

"Ok.. if you know his house or he have a friend here, just talk to him why he went absent today." The teacher said. "I am just taking the attendance because, we will going to have a meeting. I will leave you all here, just copy my topic because we will going to tackle it the next day." She added and she walked outside.

"Jeez, goodness.. we don't have a class of physics today." Philip said. "Hey? You and Larry is friends, right? Why you should talk to him why he didn't attend the class today."

"No, we are not." and he lean his head on his desk while looking at larry's chair. "Jeez." He sighs.

Philip ignored him and he lean his head to his desk too.

"Hey! Sam? Are you going to sleep? We have some topic to be copied." Philip said to him and sam kept sighing.

"Hey! Why are you kept sighing there?" Philip asks him and suddenly gets up.

"I don't want to. I feel tired." and he gets up, "so much topic." He added as he looks in the board.

Larry was still sleeping on the sofa and the sunlight dazzled him. The telephone kept ringing and he suddenly woke up, he gets up while holding his head, "ouch, my head.. ouch it's hurt." and he looks at the clock. He answered the call, "Hello? Who is this?" as he yawn.

"Larry? This is your homeroom teacher. I just want to know why haven't you attended the class today?" The teacher said and he ends the call. "Because I'm tired.. I'm fucking tired!" He replied and he yawned, he looks for some water inside his refrigerator and he drank it. "Argh! I'm thirsty."

He sat on the couch with his messy hair and messy shirt. "I still felt heavy on my chest, what's wrong with me?" He asks Himself and he laid on the couch again.

While Sam was copying the topic on the board, suddenly the blood dripped from his nose and he didn't notice it.

"Hey! Sam, what's wrong with your nose?" Philip asks him and he got confused.

"Why? What's wrong? He asked.

"That! There's a lot of blood on your nose. " Philip replied while pointing at Sam's nose.

he touches his nose and he saw lots of blood coming from his nose. "Shit. " He took his handkerchief from his pocket and he wipe it on his nose.

Philip felt dizzy after he saw the blood, he covers his mouth not to puke, but he quickly runs to their restroom to vomit.

"What's wrong with him? " Sam asks.

Philip was calling the crawl inside the restroom, "it gives me chill. " He shouts and he kept vomiting. he goes back to his chair and he sat down, he looks like an idiot who got bombed by the missile. "You shit, Sam." He said and sam got confused.

"Why? I didn't do anything." Sam replied.

Philip is starting to cry, "You shown me the blood, I hate that!" He shouts.

"Why? You wanted to be an army, but you afraid of blood?" Sam teases him.

"B.. but it's give me chills, like I need to puke, i don't like to be an rmy anymore." He replied.

"Weirdo." Sam said and he continues to copy the topic from the board.

"Shits, screwed up. there's a blood on my book, what should I do?" and he saw the correction tape of his classmate. "Let me borrow this." He immediately took it to erase the blood.

"Hey! Sam makes it faster, I'm going to finish this." His classmate said to him.

"Here!" Sam handed it as he mad.

"You're just borrowing it, you're the one who got mad. Your not even say thank you to me!" His classmate yelled and he ignored his classmate as he continue writing on his book.

"Guys! If you already finished the topic, the teacher said we can go home." The class president said to them after he came back from the faculty.

"Yes! I can play in my video game early!" other student yells.

After Sam finished copying the topic from the board, he immediately packs his bag and he cleans up his desk, he about to leave but he stares at larry's chair for a second.

"Sam? Let's go now." Philip said to him and they went outside of their room and they directly go to their each dorm.

"What happened to him?" Sam asks Himself while lying on his bed in his dorm. "He's ok right now?" He said again and he gets up. "Should I come there to check if... oh, I forgot we're not friends anymore." and he laid down on his bed again. "I'm tired now, my head is hurting and feels like it will explode." He added as he holds his head, a few seconds he falls asleep and he snored.

Larry was cleaning his bed and he looks at the window, "Oh, it's already evening." he took the bucket, he started to cook for his dinner. "I'm hungry now, let's taste it now."

"I'm hungry now, let's taste it now." . He tastes it and he felt delight. "Yummy, I miss my mom how she cooks this." He said to himself while holding the spoon and he ate alone on the table.

Morning came and the birds are chirping on the roof, Larry's mom was standing on the balcony. Feeling the cold wind and sniffing the breeze, "relaxing." She said.

"Sis? You already woke up?" Her sister said to her.

Larry's mom turned around and she smiles at her sister. "Yeah, I woke up because I can't sleep anymore.

I'm feeling the cold wind here, come closer. " She replied.

"Here, take this I already prepared this for you. " Her sister gave her a cup of tea.

"A mint tea? " She asks.

"Yeah, take a sip. " She replied.

Larry's mom took a sip from the cup and she felt relieved. "I miss Larry now. He really loves mint. " She said to her sister.

"Why should we go there?" Her sister asked her.

"What? No, we can't. He said I'll wait him here. He promised me that he will come back no matter what happens." She replied as she smile.

"But, sis you said. You missed your son so-

"Just leave him. Let him enjoy his teens age. After he graduates in senior. He will come back here and he will enter the big campus in college. " She said.

Her sister took a sip of her cup and she felt the cold breeze, "so relaxing. " Suddenly the phone rang.

"I'm going to pick that call sis. " She said and she run there to answer the call.

"Ok, tell me if-

"Sis, it's a client.." as she whipered ok, ma'am. I got it. I'll tell her this. " She said and she ends the call.

"A client? What-

"He ordered dozens of knitted scarfs, dozens of knitted gloves and cardigan." She said to her sister with joy to herself.

"Really? That was big payment." She replied.

Sam woke up and he's not on his mind. He looks at the clock and it was so early. "Why I woke up this early? Arrgh!" He said and he slammed his head on the table. "I'm not sleepy, but it's too early." He looks for breakfast on the refrigerator, he saw the milk, cracker oat on it. He took some spoon and cup. He ate his cereal against his will.

"I'm tired, but I'm not sleepy at all. Argh, my head is hurting again." He said as he put the food in his mouth.

After a minute, he prepared for his school. He took a shower, brush his teeth on the bathroom and he finally got dressed.

when he arrived there, he were walking quietly on hallway, Philip runs to him and he suddenly bumps his elbow on sam's arm.

"You Shits hurt! You have a sharp elbow." Sam said as he scratches his arm.

"It's itchy?" Philip asks him.

"No, you shit. It's hurt." Sam replied to him.

"Where are you going?" He asks Sam.

"Of course, where do I go instead?" Sam replied as he rolled his eyes at Philip.

I thought in the cafeteria." He said.

Sam stares at him and philip looks back to him. "I know, what you think." Sam said and he grinned.

"Yeah, let's go now." and they run quickly to the cafeteria.

"You know, I'm hungry. I left the house without eating breakfast." Philip said to him while chewing his foods.

"I just ate cereal this morning." Sam replied.

Suddenly, Larry was passing by and philip Stare at him. "Hey. I just noticed, why your friend doesn't talk you?" asking sam.

Sam was staring at larry. "He's not my friend. We're not friends anymore." and he slurp his noodles.

"What? What do you mean?" Philip asked him as he confessed.

"You don't need to know about that." He replied.

Larry was staring at them while waiting for his order in the cafeteria.

"Sir? Your order is here now." The woman said to him and she gave the sandwich to Larry. He was kept staring at them and didn't hear that the woman kept calling to him.

"Young man?.. Young man?"

he sudden realizes it and he took his order. "I'm sorry, I'm out of my mind right now.. I'm still sleepy." He replied to the seller.

He took a bite of his sandwich and he leaves.

Sam was secretly staring at him while larry were walking. "We're not friends, anymore." said on himself.

"Ow, right.. let's go to our room no-

Philip got confused that sam was staring there. He followed it by his eyes and he know it. "Why are you kept staring at him?" he asks and sam got startled.

"Who's staring? I'm not.. I just think something. you have something to say?" Sam replied.

"Let's go now. To the room." Philip said and they stood up, they walk until they got to their room. he sat on his chair and he looks at him but Larry was avoiding it.

"By the way, Sam, why did your nose got bleed yesterday?" Philip asks him and Larry heard it even his pretending he didn't care about sam.

"What?" Larry suddenly asks and they startled.

Are you talking with us? " Philip asks him awkwardly.

"Oh, nothing i.. I just read some books. " Larry replied awkwardly.

they continue to talk as larry kept listening to them.

"I don't know too. " Sam replied to philip.

"no wonder, you study every single second. I won't mind if you're going to die because of studying. " Philip jokingly said to him.

"You, shit. But why did your head get fooled yesterday? " Sam asks him jokingly as a revenge for teasing him. "and starting to vomit?"

"Hey! " Philip shouts. "What? You want to fight? " Sam said to him and they laugh together.

Larry was still listening to them and he got worried about Sam.

"Why did his nose got bleed? I'm absent yesterday and I didn't know about that. Should I ask.. Ow, I forgot we are not friends anymore. Screwed up." he said on himself while staring at sam.

Philip noticed it and he got confused why larry kept staring at sam.
