Chapter 39 - 39

"Let's go now, Let's eat, you must be getting hungry too."She said to Larry. He smiles awkwardly as he stands up, walks to the table and they sit down together, "I cooked your favourite dish. I hope you like it." She said to her son.

"Yes, of course. I'll like it, it's my favourite."He replied and he smiled.

"Ok, larry. Eat up, help yourself. Don't be shy."

Larry smiles awkwardly as he feeds himself.

While they were eating, sam kept talking about his experience at school, "then, mom.. The students there are so very naughty and-

"Can you stop it now? You're in front of the food."His mom said, cutted her son's word.

"But mom, I'm telling you this story, I miss telling gossip to you, I really miss you so much."sam replied.

"How are you, larry? Did you study well?"She asks him.

"Oh, y.. yeah auntie. I'm doing well. I study well."He replied awkwardly.

"I hope Sam is doing well too."She said.

"Yes, he is doing well on study, we are classmates, auntie."He replied.

"Yes! We are."Sam said proudly.

"Really? You two? Oh, it's better. You can keep an eye to him. Please take care of him on my behalf."She said as she held larry's hand for favour.

"Of course auntie, I'll look after him everyday."He replied.

"Does he act stubborn?"She asks again.

"No, auntie. But often his nose got ble-

Sam kicked his foot under the table when he tried to say it, "ouch, ouch!"He yelled as he hold his foot down there.

"What's wrong?"She asks.

Sam glanced sharply at him and he gestured not to tell her mom about that.

"Oh, I.. I just bit by the red ant."Larry replied awkwardly to Sam's mom.

"Really? Lift your foot and lean it on your chair, so that the ant will not bite your foot. I'm sorry, I ate candies here earlier."

"It's ok, auntie. This will be gone."He replied.

Sam continued eating while pretending that nothing happened.

"Eat more. Continue your food."She said and they continued eating.

After they eat, sam is sitting on the bed, while Larry is leaning on the study table. "So, what's the reason why you won't let me tell your mom about it?"He asks.

"Please, don't tell her about that. I don't want her to worry."He replied.

Larry sat beside him as he pat Sam's head, "so.. I'll tell your mom about it, just pay me."He said, teasing sam.

"What? Payment? For what?" sam asks , confused.

Suddenly Larry took a peck kiss on his cheek and he startled, "Here."He replied and he smile, "that's the payment."

"What are you doing? We're here in my mom's house, act normally."Sam said.

"What? I acted normal. What's wrong? I haven't done anything."He replied.

Sam tickles him until they land together on the bed, he kisses Larry's lips as they are smiling at each other.

"You said we're here in your mom's house?"

"I don't know."Sam said as he continued kissing him.

Larry tickled him and Sam unexpectedly shouted so loud and larry covered his mouth, "Hey! Don't shout." as his voice went lower.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door and it was his mom, asking, "Son? There's something going on there?"

They got suddenly muted and Larry covered his mouth.

"Nothing mom! I just slipped."He replied.

"How about larry?"She asked.

"He has already fallen asleep, mom."

"Ok, then. I'll go to my room."She said and she walked away from the door.

"She's gone now. We can continue it."Sam whispered.

"Are you crazy? We can't."Larry replied as he laughed silently.

"Why can't we?"

"Come here. Lay down here beside me."Larry said and he laid down on larry's arm.

"What?"he asks and Larry hugs him.

"Um, honestly. I'm worried about you, what if you end up with something that often bleeds on your nose."

"This nothing. It's just blood, this won't hurt me. I didn't feel any strangeness inside my body."He replied.

"Are you sure? Really. I can't lose you."

Larry said that he got worried sick for sam.

"I'm sure, don't worry. You're such an over acting. All of this will be fine."Sam replied and he smiled sweetly at him. They kissed and they closed their eyes to take a nap.

Kairo was crossing his arms as he stared at hungry philip, that were in the fancy restaurant.

"waiter! One more soup, please!" Philip shout.

"Hey, stop that. You can order without shouting, just raise your hand and the waiter will come to you."kairo said to him as he got embarrassed.

"Should we drink?"He ask.

"Are you insane? We're teens. We can't drink."kairo replied as he was eating the pasta.

"Really, why can we enjoy it here? You paid for this. This restaurant is so very expensive. Let's have a take on it.``

"We really can't do that."he replied.

Philip pouted his lips as begging on him, please.. Please"

A few minutes, they ordered some liquor and it finally arrived. "Here, sir."The waiter put it on the table.

"Woah, this looks like an expensive one."Philip said and he laughed.

"You said you want it. So enjoy it, I won't drink with you."kairo replied.

Philip glanced at him while holding the wine. A few hours later he and Kairo got drunk and they are acting weird just now.

"You know, Mara is so beautiful but she can't really feel my love for her." he said and he laughed so hard.

"You jackass, don't laugh. Many people are here. Not just you."kairo replied.

Philip shut Kairo's mouth with his finger, "be quiet, let's enjoy it. I'll forget her forever, but I really like her." saying with his hoarse voice and he kept drinking the wine on his glass.

"Do you really like her?"Kairo asked him and Philip nodded for his response. "Yup, really. Honestly I like her but my heart doesn't run faster whenever I meet her and I don't know why."He replied and he laughed again.

Kairo took one more shot again and he got bitterness on his mouth.

"Hey senior, that's enough. You're drunk now."Philip said to him as he took the cup of glass from Kairo's hand.

"What? Senior, my ass. Don't call me senior if we aren't in school."He replied.

"Ok, that's enough now. You're so drunk."

Philip stood up and he held Kairo's hand, "Let's go now. Stand up there, let's go home."He added as he forced him to stand up.

"One shot! Let me have a one shot!" Kairo shouted and all the people inside the restaurant were watching them.

"Hey, that's enough.. let's go home." Philip said as he kept holding Kairo's arm.

"I don't want to go home."He replied as he look at Philip's eyes.

"What if your mom is gonna scold you again if you're not going home?"

"It's ok, I'll go home soon. Just let me be by your side for now. I'm not going home today, i'm scared."He replied with his drunk voice.

"Ok, then.. Stand up, let's go."

Philip held Kairo's hand and waist tightly to guide him to walk. "You're so heavy, you said you're not going to drink?"He asked as he felt it was difficult to guide the drunk person.

They arrive at his dorm by taking a cab, he throws kairo on the bed and his back is in pain,"Argh, you're so heavy." and he sighed deeply, massaging his back.

Kairo smiles at him as he holds Philip's hand and he pulls him suddenly, He was startled and he landed on Kairo's chest.

"Hey, let me get off. You're stinky!"Philip yelled as he held his breath not to smell the liquor scent coming from Kairo's mouth.

Kairo hugged him tightly and he snored so loud, he tried to take Kairo's hand from him and when he was about to get off, unexpectedly kairo pulled him back again and his face met Kairo's face so close as his eyes were all surprised.

"H.. hey, let me go now." and Philip's voice was stammering, begging to let him off.

"Don't leave me. I'm scared for tomorrow."kairo replied all of sudden.

Philip felt pity on him after realising something, he let Kairo hold him and hey fell asleep in that difficult position.

The morning came out, Sam was preparing to go back to the city, he came out from the bathroom as he was drying his hair and he's walking to the dining table.

"Mom, we were going back later. I have class."He said while eating his breakfast.

"Ok, then.. I'll prepare some snacks for you."She replied in the kitchen while still cooking, "Where's Larry?"She asks.

"He's still sleeping."He replied and he continued feeding himself.

"Wake him there. I'll prepare breakfast for him."

"He's already grown up, he can wake up on his own."He replied.

"Hey, sam. He's our guest. Wake him up there."His mom summoned him.

"What? Guest? He's my.. oh, I'll wake him up there."He replied awkwardly as he ran quickly into his room.

His mom got confused at his behaviour and she didn't know what her son's words just by now, "What he's saying right now? He acts so weird." saying to herself.

He entered his room as he locked the door surely, He jumped on Larry's chest and he woke up suddenly as he startled.

"Ouch!"He shouts but Sam covers his mouth.

"Lower your voice." he whispered.

"Haven't you eaten yet? Let's go outside. You have a class later." larry said while scrubbing his eyes gently.

"I'm eating outside, I'm here to wake you up. My mom is scolding me right now because I didn't wake up earlier." as he was playing with Larry's hair.

"I'm going to sleep again so that your mom will keep scolding you."He replied as he held his laugh.

"Are you insane? Get up and let's eat outside. My mom is cooking there, she's waiting for us."Sam said as got pissed off.

"Kiss me, so that I'll get up."He replied and he pouted his lips.

"You're not a toddler. Get up now." as he gets off from larry's top.

He kept pouting his lips waiting for Sam's kiss. "What are you doing now? Stop that."Sam said.

Sam can't control his feelings, he kisses Larry's lips and he smacks Larry's head,

"Let's go now. You shit."he cursed.

Sam's mom knocked on the door, "Son, what's up there? Is Larry still sleeping?"She asks.

They both startled, "oh, wait a second mom. I'm going to wake him up."He replied, panicky.

"I alr...

Sam covers Larry's mouth immediately and he whispers, "Shut up." as he curses him with his eyes.

"Ok, then. I'll wait for you two at the table."she said and she walked towards the dining table.

"Why did you cover my mouth?"Larry whispered to him, taking sam's hand from his mouth.

"Because you're too obvious, we will get caught in no time if you keep doing it."He replied.

"When did you tell your mom about us?"Larry asks seriously.

"I don't have the right timing. Let's talk about that soon, for now get up and let's eat outside. She's waiting for us."He replied as he stared at him.

"Ok, then. Let's go outside." and larry get up.

They walked outside of the room as they saw his mom waiting for them.

"Hi, auntie." He greeted her with a smile.

"Sit down now. I've kept waiting for you here. Did you stay up all night?"She ask, teasing on larry.

"Oh, I didn't. Just, I... I felt sleepy."He replied awkwardly.

"Right, then. Sam go grab some plates for him." She ordered.

"No, it's ok. Auntie, I can go and take my own plate."He replied and he stood up to take some plates besides the sink.

"You two are going back later?"She asked.

"Oh, yes auntie. We have a class."He replied as he came back to the table.

"Ok, then. Eat up, help yourself." she said.

Philip and Kairo were still sleeping on one bed, he woke up as he opened his eyes slowly, he first saw on his front the person that he hadn't known before.

He stared at Kairo's face for a few minutes until kairo moved a little and he got startled.

He gets up and stretches his hand to make himself fully wake up, Kairo wakes up as he gets up, "oh.. my head." He said while holding it. "How much did I drink last night?" He asks Himself.

"Oh, are you awake now? You've just drank all the wine and got more drunk than me."Philip replied as he scratched his head.

"Really? Oh, I feel dizzy right now."He said, "i'm sorry." and he yawned.

Unexpectedly someone knocked on the door and they got startled because it was so loud and seemed disrespectful the knocked, "I wasn't expecting a guest today." and philip stood up and walked closer to the door as he open it.

"Good morning, how can.. oh, who are you?"He asks, confused.

One decent woman stands in front of him, raising her right eyebrow and crossing her arms.

"M.. may I ask you, who are you?"Philip asks, awkwardly.

Kairo walked to the door and he got startled, "mom!"he said all of sudden.

"Mom? It's your mom? Oh, I'm really sorr..

Suddenly kaieo received a slap from his own mom and Philip got startled, he suddenly muted as he was surprised at what he saw, He came in front of kairo to protect him, "Ma'am, you can't do that to him. He's your-

Kairo's mom pushed him tensionally and he fell on the floor, "Don't you ever bug in our issues."She said madly while pointing his finger to him.

All the students were surprised as they were watching them, He stood as he walked towards them without hesitating. "Ma'am, you can't slap your son. Mother couldn't do that to their child."He said without fear.

"Who are you to bug on our issues? You're just a student here." She replied madly.

"Mom, that's enough. Let's-

She slapped his son again as she got totally angry. "Why did you escape yesterday? Go home.. let's talk at home!"She scolded.

She walked away as Kairo was following her, Philip held his arm and he looked pity on him.

"I'm gonna be alright, don't worry."kairo said to him as he took Philip's hand from his arm, He walked away as Philip looked worried at Kairo.

"What are you all looking at? Just go back to your room!" philip shouts at the students who came out from their room just to watch, He went inside to his room as he sit down on his bed, "Will he be alright?" asking himself as he felt worried all of a sudden that he hadn't felt before, After what happened earlier, Philip went to the school and he sat down on his own chair like a lazy sheep.

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

"Nothing, I'm just tired."He replied and he sighed, "Where's Larry? Oh.. I forgot he will return to school after two weeks so he will come back next week?" Philip said.

"Oh, yeah. Why?"Sam asks him confusely.

"Nothing."He replied.

"What's wrong with you today? You kept sighing, dude. Just fucos we will have a quiz later on."Sam said. "What are you thinking? There's something bugging on your head? Tell me, what is it?"Sam asks.

"Nothing, oh, by the way. Where have you been this weekend? You said you are going to study." Philip asked him suddenly.

"Oh, I... I went back home, I came to my house, my hometown. I miss my mom." He replied awkwardly.

"But.. nevermind. Let me borrow your book, i'm going to study just for a minute until the teacher comes here." Philip said, sam handed the book to him as he leaned his head on the table.

"I feel bored."Sam said.

"Sam? Can I ask a question?"He asks seriously.

"Oh, yeah. what is it?" Sam replied as he got confused, he get up and looked directly at Philip, "Say it."He said.

"Oh, how do you feel when there's someone that you like the most? Or you felt worried, a weird feeling on that person that you haven't felt before."Philip replied.

"Huh? What feeling is that?"Sam asks.

"I felt happy when I saw that person, felt protected when that person was around me, I don't know but I felt it that I've never felt before."He replied with all confusion on his head.

"You're in love. "Sam said all of sudden and Philip got startled after he heard it.

"W.. what? I.. in love hell, no. Why would I feel in love." and Philip is starting to feel awkward.

"Then why do you have strange feelings when that person is around you? You're in love with somebody. I don't know who it is but I knew it."Sam said.

"Oh? R... really? Hell no, I'm not in love." He replied as he laughed forcely.

"Stop asking me if you are doubting yourself, okay?"Sam said as he got pissed off.

"Oh, then. Why did you know all about that? Did you fall in love too?" Philip asked suspiciously.

"M.. me? Huh? Just focus on your study right now, we will have a quiz in ten minutes." Sam replied as he changed the topic.

Philip looks at him suspiciously as Sam avoids him.

The time came and they were taking some quiz, the classroom is like a cemetery because it's too quiet and if they make a noise, they will kick out. A half hours later, they done taking those quizzes and they are now sitting on the chair in the cafeteria.

"Argh! I'm exhausted. I feel someone bombed me." Philip said.

"The quiz is just easy on me, especially on physics and biology." Sam replied proudly.

"Seriously? Argh, I envy you. Can I borrow your brain just one time? I'll give it back to you after this school year." He said.

Sam took a sip of his drink as he looked around. "Oh, by the way. I haven't seen senior today." He said it all of sudden.

"Oh, our head student? Senior Kairo?" Philip asks.

"Oh, yeah. I haven't seen him today." He said.

"Oh, right. I h.. haven't seen him today." Philip replied awkwardly as he sipped his drink.

Sam noticed his behaviour and he got confused at Philip, "What's wrong?" He asks.

"Oh, t.. there's nothing."He replied again so awkwardly, "Sam? Are you sure that senior kairo confessed to you?"He ask.

"Oh, yeah. February 14 is the day that we celebrated the month of love last week, I guess. Why did you ask me all of sudden?"

"Oh, nothing. Just asking it." He said as he can't look directly on Sam's eyes.

"There's something bugging on your head?" Sam asks him.

"Oh, there's nothing." He replied quickly.

Larry got bored in his house, so he switched his chair. He didn't know what to do because Sam wasn't around. "Oh, I miss him."He said to himself, "Should I do something? Argh! What something? I don't know what to do here." He scolds himself. He looked at the wall clock,"why does the time run so slow?" as he got pissed off. He got though suddenly, he took those books out of his bag to study, "Right, let's study. Let's study until he comes back later. I'm sure he will be glad if he sees me studying." and he quickly ran to his room to take his books and start studying.

Sam and Philip were still in the cafeteria, talking to each other. "Where are you going later after class?" Philip asks him.

"That's not your business. I can go whenever I want." He said.

"Such an asshole, i'm just asking why..

"Sam? Can I ask you a question?"Mara said all of a sudden and Philip felt awkward.

"Oh, w.. what is it?" He asked.

She looks at Philip awkwardly as he avoids her glance, Sam notices it and he got confused that the two are so weird these days.
