"This is called being concerned for a close friend." Andres said.
Daniel chuckled.
"Okay. But as a close friend,don't you think you are overacting about the whole thing?." Daniel asked.
",I guess." Andres gave in.
Daniel chuckled weakly.
"Don't stay up all night." He said before closing the door to his room.
Andres sighed loudly.

It's was a new day.
David is walking through the school's hallway with a big smile on his face.
Last night with Jeffery with amazing.
"Oh." He exclaimed slightly as he sighted Alora walking with a box on her hands.
He ran over to her. "I will take that." David said as he collected the box from Alora's hands.
"Thanks. Good Morning." Alora said with a smile.
"Good morning." David said back.
"Where were you last night?. Kinda thought you would want to spend the night at my place after my little incident." Alora stated.
"Well you are a grown-up now, I don't have to be such a clingy best friend anymore." David said with a little laugh.
Alora laughed too.
"How did you get home last night?." David asked.
"Ahh...Daniel took me home." Alora said with a little smile.
David giggled weakly.
"What is that smile for?."
"What?."
"Alora. Do you like Daniel?".
Alora chuckled slightly.
"No I don't. Isn't it too soon to start speculating on that. Even if I do, am not going to do anything about it."
"Why."
"Daniel is still mourning over his ex. I don't want to jump into that and I don't like him." Alora said. She hastens her steps but stopped immediately.
She turned to David.
"Where is Jeffery?. Did he leave for Italy last night?." Alora asked.
"Oh..y..yes. He did. He promised to call you later." David replied.
Alora nodded and continued walking.
David gasped out.

Daniel sighted who he was looking for the moment he walked into the room.
He walked over to where she sat with a pile of books on her table.
"Ava?." He called softly.
She looked up slightly Startled.
"What are you doing here?." Ava asked with a little smile on her face.
"To see you." Daniel said as he sat down on the seat in front of her table.
He placed the cookies on the table.
"I brought this for you." Daniel said.
Ava wore a total look of surprise on her face as she picked up the cookie.
"Thank you. But this is new, to what do I own this great gesture Daniel May?."
Daniel grinned widely.
"I just want you to know that I still care for you as a friend." He said.
Ava smile faded.
"So does that mean you are never going to give me a chance." ava asked sadly.
"Ava, you were right about what you said in the kaoroke that night. I am still not over Sia.."
"I can wait. I have been doing that for two years. I can still wait."
" I don't want you to do that."
"Is this because of that Alora Girl?." Ava asked.
"What do you mean?."
"You were staring at her that night at the karaoke. Do you like her?."
Daniel sighed. " And am pretty sure I gave you an answer to that. I don't. And I don't even think am deserving of that kind of feelings yet."
"Don't say that. And okay I hear you. And I also acknowledge this cookie as coming from a caring friend." Ava said with a smile.
Daniel smiled back.
"So do you wanna go see a movie with your friend tonight?." Ava asked.
"Can Andres come too?."
"I only got two tickets."
Daniel chuckled weakly.
"Okay then."
Ava grinned widely. "Okay."

"Is Andres okay?." Chad asked as he just joined Daniel, Geena and Daniel at the cafeteria.
"I wanted to ask the same thing. He hasn't really been himself since this morning." Geena stated.
Daniel smiled slightly.
"Uh, Andres is finding it really hard to keep a little secret." He said.
"What does that mean?. Who is he keeping the secret from?." Ava asked.
"The question should be, what's the secret?." Chad asked curiously.
Daniel shrugged.
But that didn't put them off, they all had suspicious eyes on him.
" Kind of feels like you know what the secret is." Ava stated.
Daniel sighed loudly.
"I really don't think I should tell you guys. I don't think Alora will happy if you guys finds out before she does."
"Oh it's about that Alora Girl." Ava stated.
" Why do you say It like that?." Chad asked.
"Like what?."
" ' that Alora girl'. Like she is some kind of a stranger. She is our friend." Chad said again.
" Not sure on the our. Me and Geena still hasn't accepted her as one."
"Uh..I do. We kindoff bonded alot that night." Geena said with a grin.
"Okay. I guess it's only me."
"Why don't you like her?." Daniel asked.
"Oh no no. Daniel, not you. We asked you a question, we are still waiting for an answer." Chad said.
Daniel sighed. " Yea. Uh..what was the question again?."
Ava scoffed. " What's the little secret that Andres is finding so hard to keep that's been making him all moody since this morning?." Ava asked.
"Oh,oh, I don't know. I didn't even know there was a secret." Daniel said with a poker face.
"Oh come on now."
They all laughed.
"Am sorry guys but I really don't think it's in my place to let the cat out of the back just like that." Daniel said gently.
"Well it's not my place to spill either but I probably should let you guys know why I have been so moody." Andres said as he sat with them.
"I think sharing it will make it at least be less of a burden to me." Andres added.
Daniel chuckled weakly.
"Dude, you are making it sound so serious."
"It is, at least to me. Best friends shouldn't keep stuffs like that from each other." Andres stated.
Daniel sighed out loudly.
"Is this about me and Sia?." Daniel asked.
Andres behaviour was starting to bring back old memories for him.
It's was something he still hasn't properly apologized for.
"What do you mean?." Andres asked.
"This conversation is going on a different direction again. When are we supposed to know what the secret is?." Geena whispered to Ava.
"Might take a while but they would eventually spill it." Ava whispered back.
"Me and Sia's relationship was already two months old when you found out about it. You were my best friend but I kind of kept it away from you." Daniel Stated.
"You had your reasons. And Sia is not my sister but Jeffery is Alora's brother."
"Who is Jeffery?." Geena asked naively.
"Alora's brother." Ava replied.
" How do you know that?."
" He just said it." Ava replied with a snappy tone.
Chad gazed at Geena obnoxiously.
"Always out of her mind." He murmured.
"So what did Jeffery do?." Ava asked.
Andres sighed.
" Well after the kaoroke night, Alora was pretty knocked out by it, she literally fainted at school."
David called her brother, Jeffery to the university." Andres paused, he turned to Daniel who held a little corny smile on his face.
"Now we know why he didn't even think twice before calling Jeffery." Daniel said.
Andres nodded.
"Okay, so as I was saying.
Jeffery came to the university. And later him and David went out to talk, and I kindoff..."
"Followed them to eavesdrop." Daniel chimed in.
"Yea, I regret that now."
"So what is it." Chad asked.
"Jeffery is dating David." Andres said.
Geena and Chad gasped.
"And what's the problem with that?." Ava asked, she was the only one who seemed not to be surprised about it.
"Alora doesn't know." Andres said and Ava gasped out.
"Brother is dating sister's best friend without her knowing, Ow that's definitely gonna hurt like crazy." Ava stated.
"But why does it have to hurt?. Is it because she might be against the relationship because honestly i don't get why this even had to be a secret from the start." Chad asked.
"Exactly, why does it have to be a secret from her. Alora is David's best friend, Best friends don't keep Stuffs like that from each other. I would be furious." Ava stated.
"And who knows she might even be very happy to hear about it.
What are they even afraid of?. Why did they have to keep it a secret from her?." Ava added.
"Now you seem even more concerned about it than Andres does." Daniel stated.
"Well it's a lot. I..I mean does Alora even know about her best friend's sexuality talk more of her brother's. This is gonna be a hard pill to swallow." Ava said.
" It's doesn't have to be. It could even call for celebration " Daniel said.
"Am just worried on how Alora is gonna take this." Andres said with a worried expression on his face.
" Me too." A voice said slowly behind them.
They all turned to the person, it's was Alora.
"Oh my God!. This is not good, right?!."
