"Oh, I see."

By the way, I haven't seen you yesterday. Where did you go?" He asked sam.

"Oh, I went to my sister." Sam replied.

"Ok, good to be back." Kairo said.

When Sam was about to bite his sandwich, kairo took it from his hand and he took a bite on it. "Wow, delicious." as he smile.

Sam and Philip both stood up as they got surprised, "Hey! Stop that." He yelled.

Larry went to kairo as he held Kairo's collar again. He was about to punch him but sam stopped him. "Stop that now!" He shouts.

He helped Larry stand up and get off from kairo.

"Hey! What's wrong with you dude?" Kairo asked madly at him.

Larry took sam's hand from him and he run into Kairo to punch him again. Luckily sam held him again, "Stop now. Enough that. Let's go now. Philip, take care of our senior." Sam said to him as they walked away while holding Larry's arm.

"You ok?" Philip asked him as he help Kairo to stand up.

"Oh, i'm ok. I'm just startled why he does that." Kairo replied.

"Sit here for a minute, I'll go get some ice cubes." and he run into the drink station to get some ice.

Larry and sam went to the clinic and he was wiping larry's hand that was full of dirt. "What's wrong with you? Why did you do that to him?"

"Whatever." He replied, he took his hands from sam and he laid on the bed.

"Just leave me here. Go to your senior and cure him." And he close his eyes.

"Huh? I'm not going to leave you here."

"Leave n-

"There's a ghost here. Why would I leave?" Sam asked as he hold back his laugh.

Larry glanced at him and sam got confused. "What?" He asked.

He holds Sam's hand and he closes his eyes. "I'm sleepy." He said.

"Let go of my hand. You're such a kid." as he tried to take his hand but larry held him tightly.

Mara was just watching them while she was standing at the door.

"Are you really ok now?" Philip asked Kairo as he kept putting some ice on Kairo's lips.

"Oh, yeah. Still hurt." He replied, "Just gently put it." He added.

Philip was just focusing on putting those ice on kairo's lips, he accidentally touched Kairo's lips and he got startled. "Hey, dude.. luckily to you, you have an pink and kissable lips." Philip said.

"Crazy." he smile."Ouch."

"Don't smile. Just stay still." Philip replied as he kept putting some ice on the lips.

"Ouch!"

"I said, just stay still.. you jackass." Philip said and he laugh while putting the ice on his lips.

At the clinic where Larry woke up while still holding Sam's hand. He saw Sam sleeping beside him. "What a beautiful noon that I've seen right now." He said to himself. He look at his hand that he was holding it, he smiled out of nowhere because he felt something on himself. "So soft."

Suddenly sam woke up slowly and he saw it. He immediately took his hands and he tossed around.

"Oh, you're awake now?" Sam asked, "Let's go outside I'm hungry."

He gets up from the bed and he look awkwardly at him. "R.. really? Let's go now." He replied.

"Jeez, you're such an jackass." Said sam.

They are walking ahead to the cafeteria, sam didn't philip and kairo there. "What do you want? What food do you want?" Larry asked him.

"Just whatever, it's up to you." And he sat down.

"Ok, just wait here. I'll go there and order some other foods." Larry said and he goes walk to the stations.

While sam was waiting for him, he felt dizzy but he held it back not to feel it. He doesn't mind it. He just close his eyes and calmed himself.

"Here. What are you doing?" Larry asked him.

He opens his eyes and he sees larry infront of him. "Oh, nothing. I.. I just closing my eyes, why?" He replied awkwardly.

"Nothing here. Let's eat this." He sat down and they ate together.

"By the way, why did you punch him?"

"Don't talk about it." He replied as he was biting his sandwich. "Just eat your salad there." He added.

"Pfft, I just want to know it." Sam said and he put the food in his mouth as he looked at him.

Kairo and Philip were walking, heading to the faculty room.

"Tomorrow is valentine's day. What are you gonna do?" Kairo asked him.

"Oh, Valentine's day... I don't know. Maybe I'm just going to watch other students receiving some flowers from their loved ones." He replied.

"I'm going to confess tomorrow." Kairo said. .

"W.. with whom?" He asked awkwardly.

"Just for now is just a secret." Kairo replied and he smile.

"Ok.. it's up to you."

"Let's go.. let's make a beat. Of whos gonna first arrive there, will treat some foods later. run if you want!" Philip shouts and he run faster.

"Hey! Don't run! You're an athlete runner of this school! Hey!" Kairo yelled as he kept running, chasing him. Philip laughs loudly as he continues running. "Beat me if you can!" He shouted at Kairo.

Larry and sam were still eating in the cafeteria while looking around.

"You're finished now?" Larry asked him.

"Yeah, really full now like to explode." Sam replied, he suddenly lean his head on the table.

"Get up now. We're going back to our room." Larry said.

He holds Sam's hand and he forcely pull him to get up.

"Let's go now!" He yelled.

"I'm sleepy!" Sam replied.

"You can't sleep here, Let's finished all the subjects and you can go back to your dorm later!" He said to sam while still forcing him to stand up.

He stood up, "ok, fine." and they walked to their room.

Sam were sitting on his chair, writing randomly on his paper and Philip were glancing awkwardly to him.

While he was writing, philip asked him. "Hey, Sam?"

"What?"

"Lower your voice." Philip said as he whispered.

"What is it?"

"Why did larry punch him earlier?" He asked.

"I don't know too."

The class president went in front, "classmates! Stop doing what you are doing, the school head student agreed with us that we will having some event for tomorrow." He said and his classmate got muted.

"What is it?" Other asked him.

"We will have a wedding booth, a confessing room and will sell flowers." He replied. "Then who's gonna manage the flowers?" Other asked.

"It's up to the student. If they will be going to volunteer." The class president replied. "So, think wisely if you want to volunteer. Each class president in the classroom will be going to manage it. You can go to them and ask for volunteers form paper." He added.

"So? Who's gonna manage the wedding booth?" His classmate asked him.

"Me, i'm the one who's gonna manage the wedding booth. There's a price at each station so you need to pay first."He replied. "So, that's all.. we will going to have prepare that later, first we have to wait our third teacher." He added and he went to his chair.

"There's nothing you will get on valentine's day." Sam said and he sighed.

Philip got bored after the announcement and he just sat on his chair.

"I'm bored! Let's play." He said to Sam. "What games is that?" Sam asked.

"Let's play rock, paper, scissors. Whoever loses, he will receive a flick on the forehead." Philip replied.

"Oh? That's boring." Sam said as he lazily leaning his head on the desk.

"Please, please.. I'm getting bored. Let's play." Philip forces him.

Sam gets up as he look annoyingly at Philip.

He held Sam's hand and he pulled it as he force, he accidentally let it go and sam landed on larry. He catched sam as he held Sam's shoulder.

They both got startled, "Oopsy." As philip eyes got startled.

Sam look behind him and he saw larry were staring at him. He immediately get off and he acted calm as he smiled fakely.

"Sorry. Just my hand got slipped." Philip said to them.

The teacher went inside of the room and they all muted. "Ok, class. Please get your history book and open it on page 233. We will discuss that topic." She said.

They all took their book and they turned it on the pages that their teacher said.

"Hey! Did you have your book?" Philip asked sam.

"Yes, why?" Sam asked.

"Can we share?" Replied.

"Of course." Sam said and he shared his book with Philip, the teacher noticed it and she stop discussing in front, "what are guys doing? Sharing some books?" She asked.

Philip and sam got startled and looked around awkwardly.

"I'm sorry ma'am, I... I forgot my book in my dorm." Philip replied.

"No more explanation. Stand outside!" She exclaimed. "But, ma'am-

"I said no more explanation. Stand outside there!" She replied.

Philip was forced to stand up. He looked at Sam with a smile on his face. "I'm ok, let's talk later." He said. He walks behind the wall and he stands there alone.

Sam went back from reading his book as he felt pity on Philip.

After the class, they are walking towards the cafeteria with larry.

"Argh, I can't feel my leg right now. It's getting numb." Philip said as he massaging his feet while they are walking.

"Are you ok?" Sam asked.

"Yeah, i'm sure. I'm ok." He replied.

"It's your fault, you didn't bring your own book." Larry said as he walks seriously.

"I'm sorry, i'm sorry. It's my fault now." Philip replied.

"Let's go now and sit down there." Sam said as they went to the cafeteria table.

"What food do you want?" Larry asked sam.

"Uhm, just an egg with bacon and rice." He replied and he took the money from his pocket, he handed it to larry. "Here.. pay that with my money."

Larry didn't accept it. "It's ok, it's on me. Put it back in your pocket." He replied.

"How about you?" He asked Philip.

"Mine? Uhm.. just a cold coconut drink and just a hamburger." He replied while he massaging his feets.

Larry didn't walk away and he just look at Philip as he open his palm at philip's face.

"What?"

"Money? Where's the money?" Larry asked him.

"What money? I thought it's on you?"

"Not you, its for him." Larry replied as he pointed his finger on sam.

"Jeez, I thought I'm with it too." and he pull out his money from his pocket,

"here." He hands it and larry goes for a walk to the food station.

Sam got startled and he laughed.

"What's that?" He asked.

"I don't know." Sam replied.

A few minutes of waiting, larry came back with foods. He put down slowly and they took their own order.

"I'm sorry, there's so many students there." He said.

"It's ok. I'm not hungry yet." Sam replied.

Philip were listening to them as he kept biting on his hamburger. Suddenly Mara came out and she saw larry with sam. She Immediately run into them.

"Hey! Larry. Here you are." Mara said while holding her foods, she sat down besides larry and they all look at her.

"Can I sit here?" She asked.

Sam was staring at her, he got pissed off while eating.

"Larry, I thought you're absent. I didn't see you in your room." She said.

"Oh, I went h.. here." Larry replied awkwardly.

Philip kept biting as he listened to them until he bit his finger. "Ouch!" He yelled and they got startled.

"What's wrong?" Sam asked.

"Nothing, just keep eating and continue talking. I just bit my own finger." He replied to them.

"What will you be doing tomorrow? Tomorrow is a valentine's day. Should we go to wedding both and take a picture?" She asked larry.

"Oh." He replied awkwardly as he smile fakely. She held Larry's arm while sam kept watching them as he feeding himself, he suddenly got pissed off.

Mara choked by her sandwich, "are you okay?" Larry asks panicking.

"W... water." She said.

He looked at Sam's juice and took it, and gave it to mara. Sam got pissed off when he saw it. He suddenly stood up.

"I'm going back first now." Sam said to them and he run.

"Hey! Wait for me!" Philip yelled and he run into sam.

Larry got confused and he look at sam.

"Larry? What's wrong? Let's eat." Mara said to him and they ate together.

"No, are you ok now?" And she nodded when larry asks her.

When the lunch hour ended. All the students came back to their room. Philip didn't see sam, he went directly to his room and he waited for hi

Larry went inside and he didn't see Sam on the chair. "Where's sam?" He asked Philip.

"I don't know too. I chased him earlier but he run faster. I didn't catched him." He replied.

"Where do you think he went?" Larry asked.

"I don't know too."

The teacher went inside and larry went outside. "Hey! Young boy! Where are you going?" The teacher yelled.

"I'll be back, ma'am!" He replied as he run faster.

He look around, he went to the cafeteria again to find sam but he saw nothing. He went to the faculty room. He open the door and he saw some teachers and all the class presidents preparing for tomorrow.

They were all staring at larry and he felt awkward, "I'm sorry." He said as he gasped. He close the door and continue to run. He kept searching everywhere but he didn't saw him at all until he goes to the library hall. He saw Sam leaning his head on the table with books beside him.

He entered the room and he sat down quietly in front of him. He laid his head on the table and he stare at sam's sleeping face.

"I kept finding you, I look around but I just can find you here." He said to himself. He kept staring at sam's face until he fell asleep.

When kairo went back from the library hall while holding those drinks, he saw larry with sam, so he just stepped back and he went back to his room.

A few minutes, sam got woke up and he was startled after he saw larry's face.

"Oh, you scared me. Why does this guy is here?" He asked himself. He lean his head again and he stare at Larry's face.

"Why are you here? Huh? You kept waiting for me? Oh, why did I just said such an stupid words." and he slapped his mouth.

Suddenly larry move a little bit and he got startled, he pretended to be asleep. He close his eyes immediately while Larry woke up, he rubbed his eyes while yawning.

"Argh! My neck! It's hurt." He stretched his neck and he saw sam was still sleeping. He lean his head again and he stare at sam's face. "Why does he haven't woke up yet?" He asked. He touched the nose but sam move a little and he open his eyes.

"W.. why are y.. you here? Huh?" Sam asked him awkwardly.

"Then, why are you here? You're just alone here?"

"No, I'm with Kairo earlier but he still hasn't come back." He replied.

Larry gets up and he leans his back to the chair "Kairo again?" He asked.

"What's wrong with Kairo? Oh, you are really mad at him because he's more handsome than you?" Sam asked him.

"No, i'm not mad because of that. He's not handsome at all. I'm more handsome than him!"

"Then, if you weren't mad because of his visual. So what's the reason why you punched him that day?"

"B.. because.. i-

"Enough now. Let's go back to the room." Sam said as he stood up.

Larry lean his head again and he sighed deeply.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go now." Sam said.

He stood up and they walked to their room.

When they get back, the teacher was waiting for them. "What did you two doing?" She asked.

"I.. I just take an shit on bathroom." Larry replied.

"How about you Samuel?" The teacher asked him. "I.. went to the clinic." He replied.

"Ok, I'll spare you and your reason today. Go back to your chair now, I'm going to be dismissed. You two came back late." She said.

"I'm sorry ma'am, that will never happen again." They both said and they went to their chairs.

"Ok, class president. Follow me, I need to discuss with you. Bring the vice president too. " She said and they both went outside, they followed the teacher into the faculty.

The students inside are yelling and shouting after they got dismissed. "Yeah! There's no class tomorrow!" Other shouted.

"Should I not go back here tomorrow? I don't give a fuck on valentine's day." They said.

Sam was just writing randomly on his book. Until Philip saw him, "Hey! Come closer! I need to speak with you." He said as he whispered.

"What?" He asked.

"Just lower your voice." Philip said.

"What? There's something gossip again? Spill it." Sam replied.

"There's nothing, but I need to asked you something." He said.

"What is it?"

"Hey! Sam, the treasurer collecting some funds for tomorrow." His classmate said.

"Fund for tomorrow? For valentine's day?" He asked.

"Yeah. Give me the money now." His classmate said.

"How much?"

"Three dollars."

"What? Three dollars? Wait, let me check if there's have my pocket." and he dug up his own pocket. "Here, I have two dollars." He said as he gave it to him.

His classmate won't accept it.

"What are you waiting for? Take this now." Sam said.

"But it's just two dollars, I said three dollars." He replied at sam.

"Just keep that, put that back in your pocket." Larry said to sam.

"Here, the six dollars. For him and for me." He said to his classmate who was collecting the fund. "Take it now and go away from my front." Larry added and he went to sleep on the desk.

Sam and Philip got startled about that and they look at each other, "t.. thank you." He said to Larry awkwardly.

"I already listed it.. how about you?" He asked Philip.

"Wait, I'm going to take my wallet, here.. three dollars." His classmate walk away after he took the money from Philip. "Don't forget to list me!" He shouted at his classmate.

"Oh, by the way. What do you want to talk about with me?" Sam asked him.

"Oh, that thing.. Come let me tell you." He answered, he slowly getting closer at Philip, and suddenly someone called him. "Sam! Someone is looking for you outside!" Others shout at him.

"Shit, that jackass." He stood up as he got pissed off, he went outside to check who's calling for him.
