Erich and his friends, and with Nathan’s friends, they at the cafeteria eating together, trying to cheer up Erich who has been sad since yesterday. Nathan hasn’t been to school yesterday and today, and no one knows where he stays. Edward tried to contact him, but he’s been ignoring him.
Yesterday I told my parents that I am crying because I miss my little brother Shawn, so they believed me, since I don’t want to worry them.
“Erich saying, he needs your contact, he’s so worried about you, and so am I.” that was Edward’s text message.
“I’m okay, don’t give anyone my numbers.” I stated firmly.
The day passed I went to school early in the morning, I found no one in class. I was actually angry for everyone, including my friends, who let me be a fool, and not tell me that I am in love with a guy. I feel like I was just a laughingstock to them. Everyone arrived and my friends arrived later, but I switched my seats, they were sitting where they usually seats.

“I am so worried about Nathan that he’s not attending his classes, because of me.” Erich stated, you could feel the pain in his voice.
“I understand you Erich, what I can say is that give him some time, he just needs a little time. I don’t think he’s stupid enough to drop out.” Lana stated with assurance.
“Yes, girl he will come around.” Chris stated.
“It’s been months I have been here, and I haven’t had any boyfriend. I need one!” Chris said while rolling his eyes.
“Don’t be so insensitive, Chris, you can’t be talking about dating while Erich he’s like this.” Lana stated whilst brushing Erich’s back.
“Oh! No, it’s okay, we should talk about something.” Erich stated. I mean this group doesn’t focus on class; they are busy talking about boss. Michael he’s the only person who is focused.
I’m sitting alone in the cafeteria watching my friends with Erich and her friends, I meant his friends. They all are laughing, I don’t even miss them, I will be fine without them, betrayers.

Nathan and Erich, they are so busy stealing glances at each other. It is so hard for Erich not to talk to Nathan, and he doesn’t know how Nathan really feels about him at this moment. Erich saw Nathan leaving the cafeteria, and he stood up quickly from his seat and followed him.
“Nathan!” Erich stated whilst grabbing Nathan’s right arm and panting from running.
Nathan turned with a disgusted face and said, “What Erich!”
Erich removed his hand slowly on Nathan’s arm and replied, “I just wanted to say I’m really sorry Nathan, you don’t deserve what I did to you.” With the puppy eyes.
I don’t know why my heart feel sorry for her, I feel like I could just grab her and pull her in my arms. I meant him, I’m already used to say her. But I have to be strong.
“That is why, I don’t want to be next you, all of you. So please leave me alone.” I said and left.
Erich’s friends rushed to Erich who stopped breathing for a while. They helped him to breath, and now he’s breathing heavily like he’s going to experience a panic attack, until a new guy came, he helped him gentle.
“Hi guys, I am Joseph from the Science faculty.” He stated with a huge smile to all of them. Wearing a white shirt, tucked in, in his black tapered pant. He’s super neat.
His look dropped everyone’s jaws in the building, and he was just smiling looking at them. He has the brightest smile ever. His smile would light up a dark room. He got Chris drooling. He felt like he’s seeing his soul mate.
“Are you guys, okay?” Joseph said it whilst chuckling between his words and looking all of them.
Joseph he’s not a masculine guy like Nathan, and he’s also not too slim. His height with Nathan they are the same. Joseph has a medium perfect body, and he’s also a mixed race of Indian and a white person. His on second year of studying Doctorate.
“Yeah.” Chris said while moving closer to Joseph, but Joseph took one step back.
“Are you okay now?” Joseph asked Erich who seem lost. His mind it’s on Nathan.
“Yes, thank you for helping me. Erich said with a small smile on his face.
“I’m glad I could help; bye see you guys.” Joseph said and left.
“Wow, who is that?” Rose asked with wide smile on her face, and some twinkles in her eyes.
“You heard him, he said he’s Joseph.” Edward stated with annoyed voice and pissed face.
“Hahahaha, what’s wrong Edward? Why do you seem pissed?” Toni asked with a chuckle.
“Don’t start with me, Toni.” Edward said while turning his back on them to cafeteria.
Lana and Rose they’ve been best friends from primary school. Lana, she has been secretly in love with Rose, her wardrobe is full of Roses pictures inside. Now hearing Edward being jealous over Rose, it annoyed her. She gets annoyed very easily. She’s hoping that one day Rose will see how much she cares for her and decides to date her.
Jack walked inside Zoe’s bedroom without knocking, and he found her talking to Zack on face time.
Zoe turned back and looked at Jack and asked, “What do you want?” whilst scanning Jack with her big eyes.
They were on and on arguing, until Zack greets Jack on face time “Hi, how are you? Your sister has been talking about you before you walked in.” Zack said with a bright smile upon his face, revealing all the dimples he has.
“Hi, I’m good, she told me a lot about you too.” Jack said, keeping himself from smiling, because Zack smile affect.
“You guys should be friends.” Zoe stated while moving her big eyes on each of them.
“Yeah! That would be great. Zoe, you will give me his I.G name.” Zack stated the happiness in his face is priceless.
Jack went to his room to find a notification on his phone. It was an I.G notification, Zack followed him on I.G and Jack followed him back also.
“Hi, Jack, thanks for follow back.” Zack sent the text message a second after Jack followed him back, but Jack took time to respond him because he was on Zack’s profile looking and watching everything of Zack.
“How can one, looks so handsome with a messy hair; I love his videos, they are just simple nature.” Jack said talking alone in a whispering voice.
After minutes he finally responds Zack.
“Hi, Zack.” Jack replied.
“What were you doing taking time to respond my text?” Zack asked.
“I was making a snack for myself.” Jack responds back, whilst laying himself on the bed.
“Oh! I thought you were going through my profile to see how handsome I am with a messy hair.” Zack stated.
Jack, he’s asking himself how, did he know that he was going through his profile! And about the handsome, and the messy hair. “Is he a psychopath?” that’s a question that slipped out, of his mouth with a shock face.
“I mean you liked my picture; that means you like how I look in my messy hair.” Zack stated.
Zoe since he gave Zack, Jack’s profile I.G he’s no longer being attentive to Zoe. Zoe starts panicking if Zack he’s into another girl, or maybe his busy with something.
