"Sherwin be a goodboy there huh, don't make headaches so much to your teachers."

"Ok mom I promise I will just make little," Sherwin chuckled.

"See it, I just said something he shouldn't do and he just joke me around. How did you two so much alike," Sherwin heard his mom scolded his father, his father laughed and said, "like father like son don't be amazed your son likes me haha.."

"Ok enough don't make me embarrassed infront of your son." Sherwin chuckled again and said, "Mom I'm not infront of you, were just talking on phone." His father laughed.

"You!" "I promise to be a goodboy love you mom. Mom can you give dad the phone back I want to tell him something?" "Ok love you too."

"It's one of your favorite thing are you okay with it." Well I'll manage it, I want to keep my low profile even in college ok." "Ok son I will order him to get it later I will just give him the duplicate so you don't have to hand over your key you should keep it."

"Thank you dad, I'm hanging up now bye dad." "We will miss you son, you should visit us often ok, bye."

His friends just enter their dorm they are all in one dorm because they are all freshmen, in the room their are 8 of them Benjie, Mokichi, Jestoni, Joven, Charlie, Clyde, Brian and Sherwin.

Clyde started the conversation, "We saw bernalyn and Florence a while back when we went out with Brian to buy things, you know what? they're too hot and became even prettier than before."

"Really, where did you see them?" Benjie interestedly asked.

Benjie had crushed on Florence since their high school and very happy to hear it from Clyde that they saw them. He tried to pursue her but Florence said to him that he need to wait untill they will go to college, and that time has come so Benjie was very excited to see her again.

"If she will answer me now we will celebrate it brothers," he joyfully said.

"How lucky you are if she will, man I'm jealous, I should better try harder to pursue Janice." Charlie said happily as he imagined the day Janice will also answer him yes.

"These two are already dreaming haha," Mokichi said. "It's not your concern, after all your so shy when talking to girls your feet are also trembling," Benjie said and they burst out of laughter.

"By the way, why don't we fantacise our own girls want after all." Jestoni said, and the others just agreed.

Sherwin thinking of something are been noticed by his friends so they all tease and joke him.

"Sherwin your head will just explode if you think too much." "Yes don't think too much of girls after all you have many girls that are lining up to you."

"But why that you are still single until today? Are you not interested in women?" "Or you are interested in men?" haha..

"Oh by the way did you notice Noelyn got more attractive she's so pretty and cute eventhough she doesn't have much height. I should just pursue her if you will keep quiet about your feelings on her," Joven teasingly said to Sherwin.

They all know that Sherwin have interest on Noelyn.

"You better not brother, I care for her, but it's just that I want her to focus on her studies."

"Ok.... I'm just joking."

"Wow so gentleman are you our friend, but watch out many men will try to get her away for you," Jestoni said this time with a caring look.

Sherwin just frowned and didn't say a word after that, he keeps silent until one of them said. "Guys we should sleep now I think Sherwin have some things bothering him we should stop now."

"Yes we think also, he didn't say much word today.". Sherwin just sighed and give a thankful look on Jestoni.

Others went to their own bed and ready to have a sleep, Sherwin remained silent and thinking deeply, in his thoughts. "All of us have different stories and capabilities, I just want that you understand me when you know who really I am and still be my friends. Well for that time to come I just want to become optimistic and for now that you still don't know I should protect you all as your elder brother.

Sherwin is 21 years old and his friends are 17, 18 and 19. He is older because stopped he 2 years of his studies when he finished junior high, and when he continue his senior high he meet them as his classmates and they became his friends. So he have a responsibility to protect and helped them after all. They have gone through many challenges eventhough he have the capabilities to not udergo with that, but Sherwin did that with his friends and he found joy overcoming the difficulties by his and friends hardwork without the help of his parents.

After thinking for a while he came sleepy so he decided to sleep also, he sleep peacefully with the others. Their dorm room is quite big that all 8 of them fit in there and there are more space for some things, like cabinets or closets, and for some furnitures.
