Suddenly the teacher entered, Hans was still lost in fantasy world full of imagination. He called him out loud almost three times but he wouldn't snap out of it and his classmates were staring at him that he didn't realize. He lost patience and shouted at him, "Hey!" For a moment he was startled and relied, "Yes, yes Sir," "On an early Monday morning, where is your brain at?" he questioned. "I'm...I'm sorry Sir, I was, I was," still stammering, "I was..," he didn't even finish talking and the teacher interrupted, "Fine, just forget it." He turned to the class, "Happy faces, Ha! Seems like you all had a great holiday so was your weekend. I'll give you a test and I expect the submission in two days time. Failure to do so, no problem, that's your final grade." The class started mummering, each with different opinion making it sound like a market place. He then interrupted, "Should I wait till you are done talking then I continue? he questioned but no one answered. "Right, no answer, then I'll make it two weeks, sounds better?, he asked. They all shouted in unison, "Yeah, much perfect." "Then don't forget to submit your work on time," he told them leaving as the bell had rang.
Everyone else had left and Hans rushed to meet Mikey once again, "Hey, wait up," his voice panting in the air. Mikey held his steps and looked back at who was stopping him. He was surprised, "You again? What do you want from me?" he questioned. "I just want to thank you again, I feel like I did not thank you enough," he answered holding his chicks as if to explode any moment out of shyness. Mikey looked straight into his eyes like he would kiss him anytime and said, "You don't need to thank me, I did what I would do to anyone else," Hans was already blushing hearing his voice not to mention he wasn't even listening to what Mikey had to say, by the time his imaginations came to reality, Mikey was already on his way. Hans ran towards him and held his hand and for a minute they stood looking into each others eyes. The feelings of love airing the atmosphere followed by unstoppable heartbeat changed the scene into a romantic Fairy Love Tale. Mikey held him back, drew him near, unbuttoned his top shirt button with a light kiss on his upper chest and before he would go any further, he was interrupted by Alma
"Hey! Gat you, I have been looking for you the whole school," she held his hand. "I feel tired and exhausted," she then looked at Hans with a weird look and asked Mikey, "Since when did you start making friends? I have know you for dedicates and I can tell this is not your type. Jesus! He is a scholarship student, you should give him humble time to study, besides, there are many cooler boys …," Mikey interrupted, "Alma!" he looked at her with sharp eyes. "What?" she inquired. "Mind how you talk to people despite who they are, it's not their fault and I think I have told you this a couple of times," he replied in a lower tone. "I'm sorry, just that...," she wouldn't utter the words from her mouth. She then pretended to be heartbroken and clingy that Mikey wouldn't take it instead, he exited the scene. Hans was left stranded at the school's balcony heartbroken once again
Out of nowhere, Inar showed up and lifted up his head miserably facing the ground, "Hey!" he asked, "What are you doing here all alone? Have your friends left? He tried to hide the humiliation side, and acted normal "Yeah, they left some minutes ago for the basketball team." "What about you? Aren't you going to join them? You are the basketball leader, right?" Inar asked. "I I'm, but right now I feel a little bit worked-out and I need some time to relax and work on some stuff." Inar sensed something was wrong with him but wouldn't ask further questions unless he was ready to share. There was tension between then for a while and Inar broke the silence and asked him, "Can I help you out with your work, if you don't mind? At least I can share your burden, please, please, let me" Hans smiled only to say, "You don't have to, I'll handle this on my own, besides, it isn't much, just a little," Inar felt wasted, he was trying so much to attract his attention yet he wouldn't buy it. He came up with the second solution and he hoped that it worked. All he wanted was him, his love and his attention. He then looked around and made sure no one was looking at them then he whispered in his ears, "Then, would you kiss me?" "Stop it," he said it blushing, "You are making me blush, I don't like that," Inar smiled and slightly moved back, "I was joking," He opened his bag and took out a dish which he handed over to him.
"My mother made this delicious salad using my grandmother's tutorial and it's good that I share it with you. It's my favorite." Huns wouldn't take it, instead he handed it back. "Why? Don't you like it?" he inquired. "I do like it but I cannot accept your gift." "Why is that? Are we not friends?" Inar questioned. "We are" he answered "Then what's the problem?" Huns was reluctant to respond which made Inar lose it and he totally forgot himself. "You know what? I'm doing this out of pity. If you don't want it, then fine. You should be appreciating me. I'm trying my best to be your friend now that no one wants you but all you give me is a weird attitude, screw you." he dropped the dish Infront of him with impoliteness not realizing he had made a big mistake. Huns was angry and responded back, "I don't really have the energy to fight back especially when it comes your kind of people. You think you awe everyone, but let me remind you, I don't need you to survive, I have always survived before I met you and I was doing pretty good. I won't be affected by you if we depart here." The wise words uttered stroke Inar so deep that he realized his mistake and down on his knees he apologized. "Am...am really sorry. I don't know what came over me. I was selfish, I wanted you all by myself not considering what you want. I got carried away that I wouldn't watch my words, I hurt you, I hurt your feelings, I hurt you deeply, I messed up. I..." Hans wouldn't wait for him to finish talking, he raised him up from the ground and tapped him on his shoulders, "It's okay, I understand you and I forgive you, only if you are willing to be friends with me, friends? Inar smiled after the reconcilement and responded, "Sure, friends, for better for worse. Remember, I'll be always there for you if you need me anytime," he told him as he exited. It was super smooth how Hans managed the scene like nothing happened and on top of that, their friendship remained pure.
