Chapter 42 - 42

Sam sat down on the couch as he sighed deeply, "Woah, feels good." He said.

"I'll prepare some milks, you want it?" Larry asks him.

"Milks?" He asks, tricky.

"What? You think weird again. What are you trying to say?" Larry asks, confused.

"Why? There's nothing. Did I say something? You, really." He replied.

"You want it?"

"No, I just want some juice." He replied.

"Ok, I'll just make it. You should prepare those notes." Larry said to him and he continue to make some of it.

Sam was joyfully taking out those notes and books from his bag, until the problem came out of blue on his mind, thinking about his situation but he kept fighting to be brave.

"Here." He handed the juice on sam, "there's something bugging on your head? Why you look pale?" Suddenly Larry asks him and sam gets startled.

"Oh, n.. no there's nothing." He replied while having a smile and he take the glass of juice.

Larry sat next to him and he take those books to read and study it.

Sam were looking at him as he felt pity for himself and for larry.

("I'm sorry.") He said on himself.

"Hey, why you kept muting? Talk something. There's something gossip that happened?"Larry asks him.

"Oh, yeah. There is, you know our classmate who name jaz? He and her girlfriend broke up." sam gossiped.

"Really? How did you know it?" Larry asks as he is interested in Sam's gossip, he put down the books and he just listens to sam,"Tell me more." He added.

"Of course, when i about to go out from the bathroom. I heard jaz and he's friend talking to each other, so I just kept myself inside the restroom and I just listened to them, I heard it. I'm shocked, he said that he's girlfriend dumped him. She just fool jaz. She's with jaz but she have another guy."

"Woah, really? That's so evil. How can she be player like that? She's not pretty as well.. tell me more." He ask.

"No, we should study. Stop that gossip for today, we need to study it. Next week will be our quiz." Sam replied as he looking on the book.

Larry pouted his lips and he just read those books, taking notes, sipping their juice and milk while fucosing on study. Suddenly the blood dropped from Sam's nose onto the book that he was reading, he got startled as he immediately ran into the bathroom to hide it.

"Hey! Where are you going?"

He immediately took his medicine to drink because he felt dizzy. He wait until the blood stop coming out from his nose so that he can come back there peacefully and nothing happened.

"Jeez, that jackass." He curse while he continue reading his book as he didn't saw the blood on the book. When Sam came back, Larry was still focusing on taking some notes on his book.

"Not done yet?" He asks.

"Oh, yeah. Not yet." Larry replied. "You took so long in the bathroom, what did you do there?" He asks.

"Peeing." Sam replied immediately and he sat down again on the sofa, "I'm sleepy. Can I take a nap for a little bit?"

Larry nodded at him as responded, "of course. Sleep on my bed. I'll follow you if I already finished this." He replied.

"Ok, then. I'll go first." and sam walks heading there, he turn around and he says, "I love you."

Larry got confused why did sam say it to him all of sudden, "oh, I love you too. Take a nap there, I'll follow you." He replied, smiling on his books.

Sam was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling as he thought deeply about something, "it's so hard." As he closes his eyes, his tears crawl on his cheeks that he couldn't handle it anymore, He was forcing himself to sleep but he couldn't until Larry opened the door and he closed his eyes immediately, pretending that he's on deep sleep.

"Jeez, he's sleeping peacefully now. He said he will take a nap but end up sleeping." Larry said while sighing deeply.

He laid beside sam as he covered him with the blanket, he stared at Sam's face as he adored him, "you are my sunshine in the morning, moon in the evening and you changed me, I can't lose you. I hope you know that." He said while patting Sam's head, He close his eyes while hugging sam and he slept easily.

Sam opened those eyes, he smiled but suddenly he cried silently as he couldn't control it. He just covered his mouth as his tears came from his eyes while Larry was sleeping tightly beside him. He wanted to cry loudly but he couldn't.

Philip was eating alone on the street food court. He's thinking deeply as he feeds himself slowly. "What's wrong with me? I kept thinking of him. This is driving me crazy now. Philip you jackass!" He cursed himself, continuing feeding himself faster to forget everything.

Unexpectedly someone held his shoulder and it was kairo, "here you are." and Philip got startled as he smirked forcely.

"You think you can fool me? Stop hallucinate you're so high. Stop now, you shit." and he slapped his cheeks.

Kairo got confused for what Philip's saying to him, "what are you doing? Hey, are you high or something?"

"Oh, yeah. I'm high, I kept thinking of you and please stop now.. im crazy now, I'm hallucinating and-

Suddenly he realised something and he got surprised, "senior!" He shout.

Those people that were eating on the food court got startled because of him.

"Hey, shut up. Just lower your voice. What happened to you?" Kairo asks him as he sat down on another chair facing him.

Suddenly Philip pointed the fork on him, "are you real? Am I still hallucinating?" He asks. He slapped his cheeks to wake up and kairo smacked Philip's head to make him normal again.

"I'm sitting, facing you rightnow. What are you doing? Are you high?" Kairo asks him.

"Senior? Really? You're real? So you heard what I'm saying?" He asks.

"Oh, yeah. Of course I hear it. What's wrong with you?"

He suddenly stood up out of his chair while pointing the fork at him, "Woah, don't you ever get close to me." He said.

"Oh? Our school director. How are you sir." Kairo said suddenly and he bow to trick Philip.

"What? Our school director?" He asks as he turn around.

Kairo quickly took the fork on Philip's hand, "Asshole." He cursed.

"Hey! Senior!" Philip shouted.

"Can you calm down? What's wrong with you? Are you driving crazy? I just pinched you earlier then acted like this." He said as he sat down again.

Philip sat down in his chair as he glanced awkwardly.

"Why are you here?" He asks.

"I saw you here from afar. Really recognized your pig body." Kairo replied, jokingly to him.

"I'm a pig now? Should I eat less?" He asked and he cried like a baby. Those people looked at them again and kairo felt embarrassed.

"Hey! Philip, hey! Stop crying. Are you a baby? Hey! Stop that now." He begged but Philip kept crying annoyingly.

Those people are murmuring about them, "Hey! I'll let you order some food again. Please don't cry!" He said and Philip stopped crying, he smiled widely and he immediately wiped his tears.

"Really? It's that real?" He asks, then kairo nodded to him.

"Auntie! I'll order again!" He yelled suddenly, kairo holding back his laugh while looking at him.

As the wind blew over their hairs that the sun already went down so fast, Philip and kairo were still eating on the food court, he just stared at Philip while eating adorably.

"Why do you stare at me like that?" He asks. "It's already 8pm, why haven't you gone home? Your mom is gonna scold you again, right?" He added.

"Nah, I took permission from her that I and my co- class president we're having a group study since the exam is next week." Kairo replied.

Philip gives him the piece of his chicken, "here. Eat this."

"Huh? Why? No, that is for you."

He forcely gave it to him, "I know but just take it, my mind will change later I'll never give this to you." He warned.

"Ok, ok.. I'll take it."

"What you really want to do here?" He asked.

"Honestly, there's no group study that's going on. I just want to lie just to feel freedom." Kairo replied.

"Really? There's no have? What if your mom is gonna know that and scold you again, What will you gonna do?" He asks.

"Don't worry, she's not going to know that or else you're going to tell her about that?" Kairo asks jokely to him as he biting the piece of chicken.

"Are you crazy? How could I tell her that? I'm scared of her. Really, I want to curse her but it's my bad. I'm sorry for telling you this now. She's so evil, how can you handle her like that? You're not hurt? You're just letting her do that to you? Woah. I'm sorry but that's not really right to slap you in front of other students and-

Suddenly, Kairo put the piece of chicken on his mouth to shut it off, "I know she's evil but she's my mother. She gave birth to me, she's just protecting me because i'm their one and only son." He said.

"But that's not right, I know she's your mom. She gave birth to you but let me ask you, does she feel love on you? Does she feel worried about you? I'm sorry. I know every mother wants to protect us but she shouldn't do that if she truly loves you." Philip replied, worrying about him.

"I understand, just for today. Let's not talk about that kind of topic, I want freedom. Can I sleep in your room later?" He asks.

Phillip startled when he heard it, "What? Hell no. You should go home." that he feels the awkwardness.

"But, I said to my mom that I have a group study and I'm going back tomorrow." Kairo said while playing those chicken pieces.

"Fine, fine..

"Really?" Kairo shout.

"Lower your voice, you asshole." He replied. Kairo smiles at him as he eats all those chicken pieces, "Give me some."

Kairo handed the last piece to him, when Philip was about to take it, he took it back to him as he was kidding him.

"Hey, do you really want to give that to me or not?" He asks.

"Oh, Samuel's behind you!" Kairo tricks him, He immediately look back to take a glance and kairo immediately eats the last piece.

"He's not here, why-

He saw kairo were chewing and there's not chicken pieces left on the bowl. "Hey! Kairo! What are you doing?" He asks madly.

"What? I didn't do anything." Kairo replied.

Later on, Kairo was lying down on the bed, staring at the ceiling while having a smile on his lips.

"What's wrong with you?" Philip asks him madly.

He looked at Philip while still smiling, "there's nothing." He replied.

Philip got pissed off since earlier, he laid down on the floor as annoyed. "That asshole!" He shouts silently inside himself.

He forcely closed his eyes to sleep but he couldn't. He sighed loudly and kairo heard it.

"What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?" Kairo asks.

He ignored Kairo and he murmured, "He's freaking shit."

Kairo carried him all of sudden without him knowing it, "hey, what are you doing?" He asks madly as he struggles, "hey! Senior!

He puts Philip down slowly on the bed as he covers him with the blanket, "I'm just teasing you, I know you can't sleep on the floor." He replied.

"Good to you, you know it. You asshole!" Philip cursed.

Kairo immediately covers his face with the pillow for long seconds.

"Hey! You asshole! I can't breathe, what are you doing?"Philip asks him underneath the pillow. Kairo was enjoying teasing him.

He forcefully took off the pillow on his face as he gasped deeply, "w.. what are you doing? You asshole?" He asks as he gasps.

"I'm just teasing you-

"You're just teasing me but you're going to kill me?" He asks.

Kairo laughs at him as they stare at each other.

"oh.. that's what you want, right?" Philip asks him, and he immediately grabs the pillow to smack Kairo's head.

"Ouch! What are you doing?" Kairo asks him, confused.

"You did it first so I need to end it!" He scolded.

"Is that you want?" Kairo asks, he fights back Philip and they do a pillow fight. They enjoy it as they laugh together.

"Hey! Hey! Stop! Enough. " Philip yelled and Kairo tickled him and they bumped together on the bed , he was still smiling as they stared at each other.

"You have nice eyes." He said, he hug Philip all of sudden and he felt better.

Philip got startled and he felt strange again. "W.. what are you doing?" He asks awkwardly.

"Can you let me do this for a while? I feel better."

Philip lets Kairo hug him. All he can do is just pat Kairo's back to give some comfort.

"There's something wrong?" He asked.

"No, there's not. Just want to do this, it's better." Kairo replied. "Your heart is running so fast. What's wrong?" He asks.

"Oh, ah.. there's nothing, obviously I'm alive." Philip replied awkwardly.

The sun raise up and larry had woken without Samuel beside him, he get up slowly as he scrubbed his eyes, stretching his arms to get a wake lively.

"Sam? Where are you?" He asks with his sleepy voice, He didn't hear anything so he just stood up and went outside to find him,

"Sam? Where are you?" call that name that the person wasn't around, He couldn't see sam inside the house until he saw the notes that stick on the table.

"What is this?" asking himself and he took it to read it.

("Hi, good morning. I hope you have a good day today, I just want to tell you that don't worry because you woke up and haven't seen me by your side. I woke up earlier and I'm going back to my dorm, I still have school works that I need to finish it.. see you next week at school.") The notes that Samuel left for him.

"I knew it. He leaves again without waking me up." He said, he stuck the note into the refrigerator and he took some water to drink it, "Woah, it's a nice day." He said to himself.

Someone was knocking at Philip's door and it's Samuel, "dude? Are you inside?" He asks.

Phillip woke up slowly as he scrubbed his eyes, "who is it?" He asks.

"It's me!" Sam shouted from outside.

"Oh, where is he?" Philip asks himself, when he didn't see Kairo next to hin. "Maybe he went back earlier, he hasn't woken me up. He's really a dickhead."

"Dude! You're still sleeping? Are you there inside?" Sam kept calling him from outside while knocking the door.

"Oh! Wait." He replied, he walked to opened the door, "what is it?" He asks.

"Dude. Can I tell you something?" Sam asks him seriously.

"First, get in here." He replied as he pulled sam inside and sat down while he yawned, "what is it?" He asks.

"Can I tell you something important?" Sam asks.

"What is it? I kept asking you, what is it. You haven't-

"Me and larry are together." He cut Philip's word.

"Ah, really? So.. what? Really?! You and him a.. are together? For real?" Philip shouted when he heard it coming from Samuel's mouth, he stood up because he was startled after hearing it. "For sure?" He asked again to confirm it but Sam nodded at him, "How come? Huh? Are you crazy or something? I'm still sleeping, so is this just a dream? It's a relief. I'm going to wake up now." He said.

Sam smack his head to make him know that it's not a dream, "it's not a dream." He replied.

"Yeah, really it's not a dream." Philip said as he couldn't believe it.

"But, why is there a weird smell here? Someone went here? This smell is so familiar to me. Have you changed your perfume? I can't figure it out but I definitely know that it's so familiar to me." Sam said suddenly and Philip got startled.

"Huh? There's nothing here, I smell poop. T.. there's nothing h.. here." Philip replied awkwardly and he pretended nothing.

Sam sat down beside him while looking down, he look anxious and there's something bugging him.

"That's the thing you came here, to say to me?" Philip asks.

"No, there's something I would like to tell you something important again." He replied and he sighed deeply.

"What is it? Samuel, I couldn't get you, what's wrong with you? There's something bugging your head? Tell me. I can see on your face that you're troubling something." Philip said.

Sam handed him the paper of treatment agreement on him, "here."

"What is this?" Philip asks him as he got confused, he took a look at it and suddenly he got surprised after he read something. "For sure? Then you should get it. Samuel, you should get it-

"I'm scared."

"What? There's nothing scary about it. Are you crazy? This is your health problem, this is now the battle of your life. You should be an army that is well prepared, Samuel, this is my advice. You should take the treatment before it's too late."

Sam looks at Philip's eyes directly, afraid of his look, "I'm scared, I can't." He replied.

"Does Larry know about this?"Philip asks him.

"Not yet, I.. I lied to him and I don't want him to get worried about me, I don't know if I can say it to him." He replied.

Philip hugged him to give comfort, "Then, what are you gonna do now?" He asks sam.

"Can I leave this paper to you? Can you hide this for me? I'll take it back if I'm ready to take the treatment. I just don't want Larry to see this." Sam replied.

"Argh! My head is hurting because of you. Sam why won't you take the treatment? It's not hard! It's just simple." He said and he struggling advising him.

"It's hard for me. Please make it for me, please help me, I'll think deeply about that, but let me hide that to you, please?" Sam begged.

"Ok, fine. I'll hide this, but make sure to take the treatment as soon as possible, ok?" He replied and Sam nodded at him.

He hugged sam again to comfort and encourage to be brave, he patted Sam's back as felt worried, "You're stubborn, you asshole." He cursed sam.
