Oletus High

We are on a Break! (1)

The next day arrived and the new group got ready to meet at the school compound. Eli recently made a group chat and told them to be there at 12pm. It was 9am currently and he called Joseph.

"Hello? Who is this?" Joseph asked. "Haiz it's me, Eli!" shouted Eli. "Oh god you dont have to do that. Ok so didnt say you wanted me to pick Aesop up?" "No no that isnt what i mean. I mean I pick you up first to go to Aesop's then we go together to meet up with the rest at 12pm." Joseph was in a daze. "Wait why now? It is 3 hours before the actual meet up!" "Ok look Aesop can wake up at anytime so we need to be there earlier." "Okok I'll text you my address just meet me in 10" Eli took a deep breath. "You dont have to. Jack texted me the address and I am already waiting for you outside your apartment." He was shocked that Eli is an early bird. "O-Oh ok I'll be quick."

In 10 minutes, Joseph came down from his apartment and got into Eli's car. "So we heading there now?" "Yeah, I got you coffee and for the rest as well. Let's go" Joseph took the coffee and felt like he is being pampered like a child. After some turns, they arrived at Aesop's house.

"Ok now I want you to take this coffee and knock on his door. I'll be waiting here." said Eli while handing him the coffee. "Arent you gonna come with me? I dont know how to deal with his meltdown." panicked Joseph. "It's ok. By now he should be ok already." "Oh alright.." Then he got out from the car and knocked on the door. "Hey Aesop? You there?" To his luck, Aesop was just in his living room, in the oversized sweater that he mistakenly took from Joseph, drinking a cup of tea. "Joseph? W-Why are you doing here?" shouted Aesop. "I am just here. To see you. That's all. Can..we talk?" Aesop's heart started beating fast. Oh crap. I aint ready yet! "It's ok um you can just come out with whatever you are wearing." Then he hurriedly ran to the door and opened it. "H-Hey!" "Hey look I just wanted to pass you this coffee and ask you about what happened yesterday." replied Joseph with a smile on his face. That smile.. *gasps* it's so precious Joseph snapped his fingers. "Aesop? Hello??" "O-Oh um hi. I uh have something to do. I'll just uh take this coffee and leave ok? BYE!" He shut his door. His face was all red and he covered his face.

Joseph then walked back to Eli's car. "Uh it didnt work- He just took the coffee and shut his door.. I didnt even manage to ask him to come with us" Eli smacked his face. "I thought you have experience with this kind of thing" "NOT LIKE THIS! Mostly is just screaming and asking, simple" "Ugh it's fine, you still wanna do it or you want me to do it?" "Nono I'll do it. um this is all new to me" Eli nodded and let him go to the front again. Joseph knocked and the door and said "Hey Aesop? Um just wondering, do you wanna head to the mall with us?" Aesop suddenly burst the door open. It took him off guard. "Oh hey hey- I was just getting ready!" How this guy know? Wha.. "Anyways since you are ready, let's get into Eli's car. We'll be picking the rest up." Aww man I was hoping he and I would go together huhu.. After that, both of them headed to the school compound and waited for the rest.

To their surprise, Naib was already there. "Hi Naib! Why are you here so early?" Naib walked up to the car and hopped in. "Eli, both Aesop and I are clear with your timing ok? You are always a few hours early before the exact time." Then he saw Joseph. "Oh hey. See you managed to get Aesop out after yesterday's incident." Aesop then grabbed Joseph's jacket sleeve. You only belong to me! No one, including that Mary, will steal you away from me! thought Aesop as he looked away and blushed hard. Why is he tugging my sleeve? thought Joseph. After an hour, the rest arrived.

"OH MY GAWD FINALLY! WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU FOR SO LONG!" exclaimed Eli. Jack the HAstur looked confused and said "Wha- you told us to meet at 12!" "Oh yea forgotten but still let's head to the mall." The both of them hopped into the car and Eli drove to the mall. While driving, Eli said "Ok so when we arrive, we'll go with our own partners and hang out together. We'll meet back at the enterance after a couple hours. Is it ok with y'all?" Aesop then spoke up. "W-What?! Like time a-apart??" He is having a bad meltdown again. Suddenly Joseph went ahead and hugged him. Aesop cooled down for a while and leaned on him. wow..he is warm to cuddle with~ They stayed like that for the entire ride while the others looked surprised. "Hey Jos, you like him huh?" whispered Jack. Joseph stayed slient. Do I like him? I dont know. "Hey dont be shy. Just tell him." Joseph looked at Aesop who is looking at the window. "Too soon to tell" mumbled Joseph.

After a while they have arrived at the mall. "Ok, y'all have fun and let's meet up back here later. Enjoy yourselves!" Then they split up together with their partners.
