Chapter 43 - 43

1 WEEK LATER.

Larry has come back to school and he saw Samuel in the cafeteria, standing alone.

"Hey, sam!" he shouted from a distance as he ran into the cafeteria.

"How are you? What's wrong with your lips?" sam asks.

"Oh, this thing? Well, last day. I'm eating my meal, I played with the spoon so it bumped on my lips, it gave me a bruise." telling what happened and he giggled.

"Are you insane? Good for you. You deserve it." sam said and he laughed so hard.

He put his hand on Sam's shoulder as he hugged him, "I haven't seen you for the past four days. Are you heading to our room?" Larry asks.

"I'm sorry that I didn't come to your house for the past four days. I have lots of school work, report for tomorrow and I make all my output. Do you prepare for our exam later?"

"Of course, I am." He replied as he smile genuinely, He sniffed Sam's cheek all of sudden.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? We are at school. Students might see us." Sam asks as he whispers and he looks around.

"I don't care. What's their deal if they saw it?" He asked proudly.

"Jackass, let's go now. We're going to be late. Remember our room is on that floor." Sam said and he pointed to the third floor.

They continue to walk as they laugh at each other.

Philip saw them while he was standing behind them, "Good for him. Gosh, this is a very difficult situation." as he sighed deeply.

Kairo saw him standing alone there and he ran towards him, "Hey! What are you doing here? Let's go now."

Philip got startled and he quickly turned around, "w.. what?" asking awkwardly.

"What's wrong with you? Have you seen some ghosts? You look surprised." Kairo jokily said to him.

"Oh, t.. there's nothing." He replied, "Why did you come here? Your room is in that building, mine is there. You take the wrong path." He said annoyingly.

"I just saw you here, standing alone.. see you later." Kairo replied and he walked away.

"Jeez, that little jackass." He cursed, He continued to walk heading to his room, When he gets in, he saw Sam and Philip were talking to each other. "Hey, what's up. You came back now." He greeted them.

"Hi, dude. How are you? Do you look after him?" Larry replied to philip as he pointed at Sam.

He sat down and he smile annoyingly, "he can guard himself, he's a grown up now." He replied.

Sam wants to smack him but he just holds it back, "you asshole." cursinh philip while he's smiling evilly.

Their teacher went inside while carrying the test paper, "Ok, class. Does you all has prepared?" She asks. "By the way, good for you Larry. You finally came back. I hope you will never do that again." She said.

Their class president stood as he spoke out, "everyone, give respect." He summoned them and they all greeted their teacher, "Good morning, ma'am." and they bowed.

"Yes, ma'am. I'll never do that again." Larry replied.

"Good." She said, "Ok, I'll give the test paper to answer your exam." She added.

They got prepared while their teacher is giving them each, When Sam got his paper, he immediately read it.

"If you already got your paper, you can start now." Their teacher commands.

They all focus on answering it, the hours fly by so fast as they haven't finished yet.

Philip can't get what he is reading, he just look around his eyes to copy Sam's answer but suddenly Sam flipped over his paper, philip didn't catch it and he screwed up.

"Shit, I don't know what's the answer here." He said to himself as he struggled.

"Ten minutes left." Their teacher said.

"Shit, shit."he curse, he really can't get the question so he just randomly answers it.

"Pass your paper, it's already time."Their teacher said again.

Those students sighed deeply as they couldn't finish it on time.

"Yes, I finished it on time." Larry said to himself.

They pass their paper onward so the first bencher can collect it.

"You finished it all?" Philip ask sam.

"Oh, yeah. I finished it. Why?" He replied.

"Woah, I envy you. I didn't finish the back, I couldn't get the number 36 question." Philip replied.

Larry stretched his hands as he sighed loudly relieved. Suddenly Sam felt dizzy, his head hurting and felt like killing him.

"Hey, are you ok?" Philip asks him, Larry hears it and he immediately asked him, "What's going on? Are you ok?" he asks.

"No, Um. No, I mean. Yes, i'm ok. Don't worry." Sam replied.

"Are you sure that you won't get those treatments?" Philip whispered to him.

"Shut up."He replied.

"Why? What are you two whispering about?" Larry asks them.

"No, there's nothing." Philip replied as they were pretending all fine.

"Ok, then. Let's go to the cafeteria, i'm hungry." He said to them,

Their class president stood up in front as he spoke, "Everyone, listen. We already answer our exam so the head student announced earlier that we don't have a class tomorrow until next week." He said.

After they heard it, they saw the happiness on their faces, excitement and relief.

"Yes!" all of them shouted inside the room.

"Philip!" Suddenly their head student called him.

"Oh, senior." He said as he got startled. "What brings you here?" He asked.

Kairo gestures to come to him, he immediately run outside.

"Why?" He asks.

"Let's go, let's hang out." Kairo said.

"Where?"He asks.

Suddenly Kairo held his arm and he forced him to run.

"Hey, senior. Where we are going?" Philip asks confusely but Kairo keeps ignoring him while they are running.

"Can we go now?"Larry asks Sam.

"Yup, let's go." He replied and they giggled.

At the moment, they arrived at their destination where kairo wanted to bring philip.

"Why did you bring me here? On the rooftop?" Philip asks Kairo, confused.

"Nothing, I just want to feel fresh air with you." He replied.

"Huh? W.. with me?" and philip is starting to feel awkward.

"Yeah, with you. Why?", Suddenly Philip shouts, "hey, Asshole!" And Kairo got startled. "Hey, what are you doing? We're here in school. Why do you shout some curse word?" He asks.

"Just relieve my stress, I guess." Philip replied.

"You jackass, you shouldn't shout that word. What if some teacher will hear it, what are you gonna do? And I'm a head student." He said.

"Who cares? You can shout too, try it." Philip said. "It feels good when you shout something bugging on your head." He added.

Kairo wants to try it but he just hesitates, "hey, you jackass. Dick head!" He shouts, Philip startled after he heard it and he laugh.

"What's wrong?" Kairo asks him.

"Nothing, I'm just startled by your curse word." He replied.

"Really, it feels good." Kairo said.

"I told you, it is." He replied, he shouted again, "Hey, listen you jackass!"

"That's enough now, maybe someone will hear us and punish us." Kairo said to him and they laughed at each other.

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

"Nothing, I just feel better when I'm with you." He replied all of sudden.

"Huh? What did you say?" Kairo asks him. Suddenly Philip realised what he was saying and he pretended to be tricky.

"Oh, nothing. Why? Did I say something?" He replied as he panicked.

"Did you say something, what's that again?" Kairo kept asking him.

"Oh, I think you've mistakenly heard something. I didn't say a thing." He replied.

"Are you hungry?" Kairo asks.

"No, i'm not." He replied.

A few minutes, when they go downstairs. They directly went to the food court as Philip ate so fast when he already sat on his chair.

.

"I thought you're not hungry?" Kairo asks him.

"Just forget it, honestly I'm not hungry. My belly is." He replied as he kept putting those foods on his mouth non-stop.

"Slowly eat that. You will choke." Kairo advises him.

Philip didn't listen to him, he kept putting those foods on his mouth so fast. "I'm hungry, don't talk to me." He replied.

"You like it?" Kairo asks while crossing his arms, looking sweetly on him.

Philip glanced at him and he put down those foods, "what?" He asked.

"Gosh, look at your mouth. Are you a monster? You eat so fast. You're so messy now." Kairo scolds him and he wipes Philip's mouth with his bare hands,

Suddenly Philip feels what he felt before. His heart kept pounding so fast, he looked at Kairo's eyes and he felt theres butterflies on his stomach

"Philip?" Kairo calls him but Philip is down to earth while looking at him, "Philip? What's wrong?" he asks repeatedly until philip comes back to himself, "Oh, Um. There's nothing." He replied and he continued eating his food.

"What's wrong with him?" Kairo asks Himself and he laughs inside.

"Can I ask you a question?" Philip ask him seriously.

"Oh, sure. What is it?" and kairo gently put down the food on the table.

"Have you fallen for someone?" He asks suddenly, but kairo couldn't get his question, "I.. I mean, have you felt love for someone?" He asks again.

"No, I haven't yet. I don't have time for that. All day I do my homework and fulfil my job as a head student of our school."kairo replied, "Why did you ask me that?" He added.

"Oh, nothing. I'm just curious." Philip replied as he giggled softly.

There's no student around the hallway, sam and Larry are walking together in the middle of hallway while their both shoulders are sticking to each other, "Sam? What's your plan next week?" Larry asks him while they keep walking.

"Oh, I don't know. Just thinking of it." He replied.

Suddenly his head hurts again and he just pretends that he's fine in front of Larry and not to make it obvious so he smiles sweetly.

Larry walked first than him as he kept talking while Sam kept holding his head because it's hurting. Suddenly Larry looked back and he saw Sam behind him, "what's wrong?" He asks.

"Oh, there's nothing. I just step on something. "He replied and he smiled fakely, He ran into Larry as he held his hand, "Let's go."

As they get to the cafeteria, Larry is waiting for him. Sam is still inside the bathroom, drinking his medicine so that he won't feel anything.

"Please not today, please." begging to himself while looking at the mirror. After he took his medicine, he came back to the cafeteria and he saw larry was still waiting for him, "Hey, I'm sorry for making you wait." He said suddenly as he smiled fakely.

"Oh, you're here. Sit down, It's ok. continue eating your lunch." Larry replied as he sipped his drink.

"By the way-

"Should we go to your place?" Sam asks him

"To my place? You already go to my place every day. Why-

"I mean your mom's place." Sam said.

"Huh? Why? There's something wrong that I need to know?" Larry asks him.

"Crazy, there's nothing. I just want to go to your mom's place. It's been a long time since I went there." He replied.

"Ok, then. Tomorrow we will go?"Larry asks.

"Yep, I really love it. Let's go tomorrow." He replied with excitement on his face.

"I've just noticed, your nose didn't bleed anymore. Maybe it's just stress." Larry said.

"Oh, uh.. yeah, I told you just stress. You couldn't believe me." He replied awkwardly as he sipped his juice.

The minutes passed, they were still talking at the cafeteria, "here. Let me feed you." He said as he put inside the food in Sam's mouth.

"Enough, that's so big. Are you sure I can swallow it? I can't even chew it. You jackass." Sam replied as they chuckled.

"I'm sorry, here. Ah, open your mouth." He feed it again and sam eat it, "very good." He said jokingly.

He chew it with madness on himself as he glances annoyingly, but he just sees in front of him that Larry is smiling when they are together. "You really like to tease me, huh?" asking larry.

He nodded in response to Sam. "Really, because I love you." He replied.

"Larry!" Someone called him behind Sam's back and it was Mara, he turned back as he saw Mara were running into them, "How are you, larry?" She asks.

"Oh, i'm fine. Why do you ask me all of a sudden?" He ask.

"Can I...

Suddenly Sam stood up as he got pissed off, "I'm going first inside." He said as he walked madly.

"Sam! Sam!" Larry called him but sam didn't stop walking,, "I'm sorry, Mara. Let's talk another day." He said as he walk faster, chasing Sam.

Mara watches them as she smiles, "I knew it." She said to herself.

"Hey, Sam, Can you walk slowly?" He asks while chasing him. He runs until he gets closer at Sam, he holds Sam's hand so that he makes him stop, "What's wrong with you?" He asks.

"Who are you?" Sam replied.

"Woah, are you sulking because of her? There's nothing going between her and me. You really couldn't trust me?" Larry said to him.

"Then, why did she keep saying, larry, larry? If there's nothing between you?" Sam asked him madly.

"Are you really sulking or jealous because of that? Someone calls me like that, that's my name." He replied.

"Asshole. " Sam cursed him and he immediately walk away.

"Jeez, goodness gracious. He's acting like a toddler right now." and in that case Larry had been screwed up.

"I can still hear you!" Sam shouted from a distance.

"Woah! Does he have a super power to hear everything from a distance?" He asks himself and he continues walking to get closer to Sam again.

After their class, Philip went to his dorm directly and he couldn't understand what he felt right now, "it keeps bugging me again. What do you need? Why do you keep pounding so fast when he's around with you?" asking himself, "Lots of questions about that but I can't really answer it.. I don't know anymore, Argh!" He shouted under his pillow.

Kairo was sitting on the couch when he felt something strange and suddenly Philip came up on his head. He held his chest as his heart kept pounding so fast.

"What's wrong with you?" He asked himself and suddenly he smiled until his mom saw it.

"My son, what's going on? Why are you smiling alone?" She asks.

When Kairo heard it, he immediately said, clearing his throat as he look at his mom, "Um, there's nothing, mom." He replied.

She sat down beside him as he pats Kairo's back, "there's something going on? You have kept smiling since before." She said.

"No, mom. It's ok, there's nothing going on. I've just realised my co-president joke last week." He replied to trick his mom.

"Ok, then. I'll leave you here. I have some appointments to go." She said as she walked away.

"Should I invite him here? Mom is not here." He said to himself, he immediately run into their telephone spot to dial Philip's telephone number, "Hello." He greeted. "It's me, kairo."

"Oh, senior. Why did you call me all of sudden?" He asks through the phone.

"I just wanted to invite you here.. if you want. " kairo said.

"There, in your house? Hell. Your mom is gonna scold you again." He replied.

"No, she's not here right now. She's gone for a while. For her appointment." Kairo said.

"But, I'm shy." He replied.

"Don't be shy, i'm the one who invited you here. Can you?" He asked.

"Ok, then. Wait for me there. I'll take a cab." Philip replied and he immediately ended the phone call.

"Why does he want me to go to his place?" Philip asks Himself.

He immediately picked some nice shirts from his closet, while Kairo was preparing for everything.

"Auntie, can you cook some delicious dishes later? I have some guests." He said, and the maid that he told agreed to it.

"Of course, young master." She replied.

After he got to interact with all the maids, he immediately went upstairs to clean up his bed.

"Young master? you want some extra hand to help you there?" His maid asked him.

"No, it's ok. I can handle it." He replied immediately as he kept cleaning his room. After he did everything, he immediately picked some nice clothes from his wardrobe, "Should I wear this?" asking himself while looking at the mirror that he couldn't choose because he has a lot of clothes, "Or this?" that he can't decide.

after kairo was struggling from choosing his clothes, he was already sitting on the table while waiting for philip, suddenly the doorbell rang and he acted properly.

"I'll check it, young master. " the maid beside him said.

She immediately went outside to welcome their guests, "Good evening, sir. Come in."

Philip got awkward feelings as he walked inside, "why do I feel nervous right now? I haven't felt this before." He said to himself.

While the maid was guiding him into the dining area, he saw Kairo sitting there and wearing casual clothes that were waiting for him.

"Hi, good evening." He greeted Philip.

"Same to you, senior." He replied and he smiled genuinely at afar.

Sam is in his dorm now, he's sitting on his chair while staring at his photo with Larry taken on the day of hearts. "I'm smiling so wide here." He said, he remembered the paper of agreement and he felt worried about himself, "should i get the treatment?... I'm scared."

Someone knock the door and he immediately open it, "who i-

"Hi, love. Can I come in?" Larry asked him and he entered inside, he sat down on the bed while sam was closing the door.

"I thought you were going to pick me up here tomorrow? Then, why are you here?" Sam asks him, confused.

"Oh, yeah but I feel lonely there. I'm missing your smell. Can I hug you?" Larry replied, raising his hand, waiting for Sam to hug him.

"No, you're so stinky. You should go back to your house now."

"Why? You don't want me here?" He asks.

"Fine, but first go take a shower there. I know that you haven't taken a shower yet." Sam said.

"How did you know?" He asks.

"Obviously, that shirt you wore for eight hours.. here, you dropped some choco drink earlier and it wasn't gone yet." Sam replied.

Larry laugh while standing as walking and going to the bathroom to take a shower.

"Make sure to arrange all my stuff if you are already done." Sam shouted at him.

"Oh! Yep, sir!" He replied from inside the bathroom.

"That jackass, really getting on my nerves. He's freaking annoying!" He cursed.

"But you love me!" Larry shouts after he heard that Sam was cursing him.

"Love, my ass!" Sam yelled.

He sat down on his bed, grabbing some books to read, while waiting for Larry to finish bathing there,"I wish I could tell him what I'm feeling right now, I want to tell the truth but I can't, I'm afraid that they will leave me alone." He said to himself, he pinch himself not to cry but he can't hold it back, the tears came out and he just cried silently, covering his mouth so that Larry won't hear it.
