Friends

HAHAHA!" The boys' living room was filled with laughter. They just found out that Bernard had broken up with his girlfriend.

"That's why I brought home a cake." KC also laughed.

"This calls for a celebratioooooon! HAHAHA! I'll buy something to eat" Diether ran out with his car key. It's 9 pm.

"I'll just change upstairs." Christian runs up to his room. They almost just arrived.

"I'll change too." Bernard said with no emotions.

"I'll call Alain. Let's go together."

"All right."

"Why does it look like you're devastated? You should've been happy. Your ever talkative and bragger girlfriend just broke up with you."

"It's nothing. Maybe ... I just regretted it, we've been together for two years." He does not seem to be happy by the tone of his speech. He seems to really regret it. Knowing Bernard, he's kinda like Alain, but most of the time he's kind-hearted. I also can't blame him for how he feels. All I know is that Christine has been his longest relationship.

"Do you regret two years? Two years of pure fighting and foolishness? C'mon! Cheer up!"

He thought for a moment. "HAHAHA! Yes noh? I should still be happy." Diether is confused about what happened.

"All right. I'm already in my room." he seemed mad to cheer up his mood.

He went straight to his room, while Diether went to Allan's room. They all have a separate room. When you go up the stairs, to the right are KC's room, Bernard's room, and our guest room. On the left side are Diether's room, Edrien's room, and Alain's room, next to the stairs to the rooftop.

No more knocking on Alain's room. Edrien went straight inside and saw Alain lying on his bed and using his cellphone. He sat beside him.

"You should've knocked." he said sarcastically. Edrien scratched his head. He doesn't seem to be happy for not knocking on the door.

"Did you know- - -"

"His girlfriend broke up with him? Diether texted me." He said bluntly. In the tone of his speech, he seemed not interested. Of all the boys, Alain and Bernard are the less 'close' ones. They greet each other but they are not as close as Diether and Edrien, or KC and Bernard, or KC and Diether. Maybe that's just the way it is. They have many disagreements.

"We ce- - -"

"You have a celebration later. I'm not interested. There's still class tomorrow. I don't want to sleep late."

"Ah okay." I looked around the room. It's always dark when I enter here. Because the fav color is black.

"Why is that folder still there?" Edrien looked at his study table. The folder he returned to him is still there. The folder that contains Arielle's personal infos. Edrien put it there. And Alain looks like not notice it at all. It is untouched.

He looked where Edrien was looking. But he easily regained his gaze and focused on what he was doing.

"If you want to throw it away. I don't need that."

"It's important y- - -"

"It's important for you. Garbage for me. Besides, I don't need that and I have nothing to do with that." This is another thing about Alain that we can't stand. If he was not close to Bernard, he would not care about Arielle.

"All right. Just let it be there. You may need it again. So that you don't tease me again" maybe he hasn't read that yet. If he had read that, he might have been kind to Arielle.

"Didn't you even read k- -"

"No." he sparingly answered.

"Even a little?"

"No. I didn't even know it was on my study table"

"Ohh. You didn't know he had no m- - -"

"I'm not interested." he even faked his laugh.

"Ah okay. I just shut up. Haha." Edrien was about to go out when he suddenly remembered something.

"Isn't Alvin going to live here soon? When will he come here?" he mentioned yesterday that his younger brother will stay there. That boy is very smart, and he reminds Edrien of his younger brother, before. When he still have a brother.

"Next next week."

- - -

Many looked at Arielle as he entered the room. Maybe they thought he was a late enrollee or transferee. Because, he only entered once during the first week of school.

"Arielleeeee!" He looked at the one who called him. Jansen and Lance. Good thing they are his classmates. Atleast he have friends in the room. Jansen and Lance were both staffs in the cafe.

"Our classmates are already missing you."

"As if they remember or they know me."

"Don't be rude to yourself hahaha. By the way, I want you to meet our friends. Sien, Eyu, Ara, JC, Gail, Mikee and Princess. Guys this is Arielle. You know him maybe." at the same time Jansen smiled meaningfully. How can they recognize Arielle? They just saw him now.

A girl introduced herself.

"Hello. I'm Sien. I hope we can be friends." Sien introduces with foreign accents.

"She's from England." Lance whispered.

"Hi. I'm Eyu" the guy holding a book introduced.

"Hi I'm Ara" said the tall ones.

"Umm .. Hi. I'm A ---" Arielle was introducing himself.

"Arielle Angeles... Yes, we know you already, you are so famous." says Eyu. Arielle was in disbelief.

"Ha? Me? Famous? Why? How?"

"You mean, you didn't know the video?" Sien ask.

"Which one?"

"Here." They showed Arielle the video of Alain and him on the first day, the scene at the gate? Someone took a video of that. That's why earlier, many people looked at Arielle.

"Oh my gosh, you're so famous. Do you see the number of views? Also the comments. Here is a comment, That gay animal. What right does he have to do that to Alain?" Eyu said as if still scaring Arielle.

"I also have a copy of that video. But this is my favorite comment. When I see him at school, I will also knock on his face just like how he knocked on the window of Alain's car." Jansen said.

"This comment is more funny, Faggot! Your cheeks will swell up when I see you."

"Just be ready huh?" Lance reminded Arielle. He became nervous.

"You're so brave. Don't you know who you're colliding?" Eyu asked.

"Alain?"

"Yes! Well, he is the- - -" He did not finish what he was going to say. He just stopped and stared at the door.

"Ummm .. ah .. what ..." he could not speak.

"What happened- - ouch!" suddenly someone bump into Arielle. Not just a bump, a strong ones. And to his surprise, its him, Alain.

"What is your problem?" Arielle asked angrily. He even saw Jansen shaking his head.

"What's my problem? You're blocking the way, then you are asking me what my problem is?"

Arielle was about to speak when their professor came suddenly, so they went to their seats. Arielle just sit beside Lance and Jansen incase Alain will bothered him again.

"Good morning class. By the way, go back to your seats, where you sat on Monday. That will be your permanent seats for my subject."

"Good morning Sir. Sorry we're late."

They all looked at the door and saw Edrien and Diether standing there. They walked closer to us. Arielle was sitting between Diether and Alain, then Edrien.

"Good morning Arielle! It's good that you already here" Edrien smiled at him.

"Ahh. Good morning too."

"Hi baby .." Diether said. Arielle got mad.

"Tsss. Fag." He heard Allan said.

"Class, listen. I'm just reminding you of your activity outside the school. Make sure you are all ready."

"I guess you haven't been informed yet. We have an activity off school and I think, it will last to 3 days. That is just part of physical fitness, under our subject. It was discussed on Wednesday, when you were absent." Edrien said.

"Ohh. But why is it necessary off school? Also when and where is that?" Arielle is thinking about the expenses.

"Its purpose is for us to be more bonded as a whole section. There will be some team-activities for that. That will be next week, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Diether's resort" Diether is their prof's nephew.

"We haven't introduce to each others yet. I'm Edrien Inoncillo. Nice meeting you., Again."

"Arielle Aquino. Nice meeting you too."

"So friends?"

"Friends"
