Chapter: Like An Old Married CoupleIt wasn't much an issue to be absent on the first day, even some of the subjects started introductions at the second day so Toma and I were both safe from strict professors. And yes, both of us took the same course that we agreed on since we were in highschool."Hey! Toma, Yuji! It's nice to see you again, guys." Hino greeted, another friend of mine. He's much like Toma, a pretty boy with girls tailing him.Ugh, how do I even got to be friends with a bunch of pretty faces? I can't catch up with them when it comes to looks, I actually look pretty average, but these guys?… oh nevermind."Yooo, it's been a while. I see what you've done with your hair, it looks great." Toma praised Hino as soon as he sees his shorter hair. He used to have long hair that reaches his shoulder which sometimes makes him look like a girl sometime with his pretty face. Now he looks a bit more manly."Thanks, but I'm going to grow it out again

Chapter: It Was Kinda Gay"Damn it Toma, we're going to miss the first day urgh…" I closed my eyes, avoiding any light that shines on my face.Toma who was at the lower part of this bunk bed started throwing up at the bucket beside his bed. "Bwaargh…! Ugh, s-sorry." He said, sounding so weak."You said just a drink or two, but we both ended up with five bottles.""Uuugh, I said I'm sorry.""Right. Let's swear not to ever do this again.""Agreed."Then both of us spent the whole day recovering from our hangovers. However Toma has it worst than me all because he got drunk more than I did. "Yujiii… my head is killing me. Can you get me some water?" He cried out."You do that yourself, my head is aching too.""But you seem better than me.""No.""I've been continuously throwing up earlier, have you no mercy?""And whose fault wa

Chapter: A Few Months AgoIt was the 16th of August, the beginning of our second year in college starts tomorrow. When all things were unpacked in our room, Toma and I decided to grab some dinner. "Dude, I could go for some huge bowl of ramen right now." Toma said, rubbing his stomach to show how hungry he already is."I thought we agreed on spicy chicken?" I asked."No, no, no, I don't want to implant a bomb on the toilet later.""I'll still eat some though. C'mon, let's go." Then we went out of the campus dorm after fixing a few more stuff left.While we were walking, Toma noticed something from a distance and talked to me. "Damn. Yuji, I can't believe she's dating Duke." He said, quickly pointing at some place and there I saw Cami with her boyfriend Duke."Well, just be happy for her. You had your chance with her and wasted it. So don't go crying about it." I told him. Toma always had a huge crush on Cami ever since we we

Chapter: A Confused ManIt was uncomfortable…And yet, I didn't mind him leaning at me. "…I was really upset back then. Cami broke up with me just because she had to transfer to abroad." He began to talk and further lean closer on my neck that I can feel his long eyelashes on my skin."I thought she was everything I could ever hope for, and that my life is finally complete, but she… left me.""Y-Yeah, I-I'm sorry about that." I said, feeling uneasy when his arms suddenly wraps my waist."I was devastated. When Cami left, I feel like there's no sense in living in this world without the woman I love. But you were there beside me the whole time." He looks at me with his drunked eyes, I can smell the strong scent of the alcohol he drank earlier."It really touched me when you were there the whole time, to the point that I got confused and realize what was going on inside my head. Yuji… Yuji, I like you."'Dug

Chapter: Chapter 40 - Epilogue• Third Person's Point of View •They were all sitting accordingly, and one man was standing right infront of them. He kept grinning, knowing that he won the bet. "I win, I always win." Sabi nya sa mga kasama."How can you even say that, Zach? A member just died. August freaking died!" Sabi ni February, ang natatangi na myembro ng C.C., sya lang ang makikitang babae rito. Pagkatanggal nya ng kaniyang maskara, nakita na ng lahat ang mukha ng president ng theatre club.Napahalakhak naman si April, which is Leroi, sa mga nangyayari. "Damn, this is crazy. Di ko ineexpect na may mamamatay sa mga nangyayari sa club na 'to." Nakigaya na rin ito kay February at ibinababa na ang maskara nya."The gamble required big effort. February did a lot of things on this one, and had to make arrangements with the art teacher to separate Ruben from Jade. Then making Ruben busy as hell by making th

Chapter: Chapter 39 - Get Y*u Back, Part II• Ruben's Point of View •"Shit." I muttered as my phone started ringing. Mom's calling. They probably found out that i'm out searching for Jade right now. Pinatay ko muna ito at itinabi sa bag ko.A few moments later, I was already parked outside the apartment where he might be right now. Then I saw a familiar face outside and infront of my car. Mabilis sya dahil nagmamadali syang bumalik sa loob ng apartment.I had no doubt that was him. I quickly got out of my car and quickly went inside the place. I searched for door 107, at pagkarating ko doon ay nakatok ako kaagad. And no one was answering it.It got me furious so I yelled. "Open up mother fucker!!"Still no response.Ginamit ko muli ang martilyo na dala ko, and as i kicked it open. He was a bit far but he was fucking there the whole time and had a gun pointing at me.

Chapter: Chapter 39 - Get Y*u Back, Part I• Ruben's Point of View •"Sir, hindi po pupwede na kumuha basta-basta ng warrant without evidence or any proof that can be held against your suspected person.""Damn it! There's no need for fucking evidence sir, the guy i'm pinpointing just harassed that missing girl a month ago! He's definitely the guy who kidnapped her as well." I told them.The lazy fucking police gave me a disrespectful look. "Alright sir, we might take note of that. But it'll take time to find and interrogate the guy you're suspecting. Ina-assure ko din po na ginagawa namin ang lahat ng makakaya namin para hanapin ang kaibigan mo."And there I was dismissed. I looked at Allan with disbelief. "I guess we should get home now, sir.""No fucking way! Why are the police fucking useless, Allan!? Why!?" This made me feel desperate, knowing the people I thought I can count on be this awful.

"Why the fuck are you so fucking careless, Felix!? Pinilit mong kunin si Jade sa akin noon, tapos pababayaan mo ng ganito!?" "Jen, please! Don't fucking blame all things on me! Our daughter was kidnapped inside school premises, and the school and cops are doing whatever it takes to find her!!" "So what do we fucking do right now!? Just fucking wait for news about our daughter!?""What else Jen!? Of course we fucking wait! It's not like you're a fucking cop or detective anyway." "You see, this is why I fucking left you Felix! You'reSo fucking useless and stupid." He gave up from their argument and sat down.Nanahimik lang kami nina dad sa isang

Chapter: Chapter 37 - I'm Over Y*u• Ruben's Point of View •As I take off the mask, napapunas na lang ako sa mga luha ko. Tinapon ko na din yung maskara as I decided to throw away the feelings that keeps hurting me. I know i'm a jerk for using Eliza as something to numb the pain, but I think it's time to see Eliza as she is. Not as a replacement.Pagkabalik ko sa kanya, kagad syang napatingin sa akin while talking to some other members from the theatre club. "Oh tagal mo sa cr ah?"Napangisi lang ako. "Yeah, andaming gumagamit eh. Sorry I made you wait.""It's fine, let's just dance again!" Then she pulled me back to the floor to dance.Tonight turned out to be great. Like the heavy thing in my chest is finally gone.As tomorrow came, my morning was a bit nicer than usual. Maybe it's because of what happened last

Chapter: Chapter 36 - Always Remember Us This Way• Jade's Point of View •It's finally prom night. Magkasama kami ni Bella na pumunta sa school. Kapit lang ako sa kaniya dahil wala naman akong iba pang masyadong kaclose dito. She don't mind it anyway since wala din naman daw syang date."Hey, gusto mo kumuha ng drinks?" Aniya."Yeah! Let's get some." Sagot ko.Then pumunta naman kami sa table ng mga pagkain. There's a lot of people kaya medyo nahirapan kami kumuha. "My gosh, we should've just brought our own food here." Natatawang sambit ni Bella.I just agreed dahil hindi ako satisfied sa nakuha ko. Ang gugulo din ng mga tao na nagsisisayawan. Napaupo na lang kami sa isang gilid habang nagkekwentuhan at pinagmamasdan ang mga sumasayaw."Gaaahd! I wish someone would come here and ask us to dance." Aniya."Yeah, i'm kinda bored now." "H

Natatawang sambit ni Dawn.Pagkaharap nya kay Bea ay nakita nyang tahimik itong umiiyak. "B-Bea, wag ka namang ganyan.

"Tsaka ito nga pala yung letter ni mama na binigay nya sa'kin, kasama ng box na 'to. Hindi ko mabasa ng maayos sulat nya kasi hindi na maayos ang kalagayan nya nung 8 pa lang ako, parang nastroke sya, sinulat nya daw ito sa akin noong mag-t-ten na ako.

Habang pauwi na sila, nagkwentuhan lang ang dalawa para mawala sa isip nila na limitado na ang oras ng pagsasama nila.Kinuwento lang ni Dawn ang buhay nya noong bata pa lang sya kasama si Audrey, hanggang sa kaniyang paglaki at kung papaano sya nakapag-time travel. Sa panahon kasi ni Dawn, maraming imbensyong di inakalang ma-iimbento talaga pagdating ng panahon. Isa na doon ang time travelling watch na ginamit ni Dawn upang makapunta sa panahon na 'to.Na-amaze lang si Bea sa kaniyang mga kwento at parang na-e-excite na lang sa future."So... hanggang kelan ka na lang dito?"
