Clark, once again, wake up in this familiar room. Deja vú. Bumangon siya at napahawak sa ulo nang kumirot ito.
"I see, you're awake."
Napa tunghay si Clark nang marinig ang boses ni Keanno. Sinasabi na nga ba't tama ang hinala niya kung nasaan siya ngayon. Medyo blurry ang ala-ala niya kaya he have no idea how he ended up here again.
"Why am I here?"
"You passed out."
"That doesn't answer my question." Clark replied.
Keanno just looked at him with his usual cold expression. Clark rolled his eyes and step-out from the bed.
"I'm going home."
"Drink the milk first."
Ngayon lang napansin ni Clark ang hawak na tasa ni Keanno. "Is that how you usually treat your hangovers?"
Eto rin kasi ang binigay sa kanya noon ni Keanno nung unang beses siyang nagising sa condo nito.
"I've never been drunk."
Napanganga naman si Clark sa sagot nito. He was not expecting that. "seriously?"
Keanno just looked at him and handed him the cup of milk. Hindi na lang nag reklamo pa si Clark at uminom. Hindi niya ineexpect na mainit ang laman kaya napaso ang dila niya.
"Fudge."
"Blow it first."
Iba naman ang pumasok sa utak ni Clark kaya nanlaki ang singkit niyang mata kay Keanno.
"What?" clueless na tanong ng presidente.
"N-nothing!" saka hinipan ang gatas bago ito ininom ng deretso.
Pag katapos inuman ay kinuha na ni Clark ang mga gamit niya. Palabas na sana siya sa unit ni Keanno nang huminto siya saglit.
"Hey, just to tell you something. Even though my so called father asked you to look after me, pwede bang sa loob na lang ng school? You don't need to meddle with my personal life outside."
Saka tuluyan nang umalis sa unit na iyon. Clark let out a heavy sigh.
Ito lang ulit ang pag kakataon na may nag iintindi sa kanya maliban kay Keith. Alam niyang ginagawa lamang ito ni Keanno dahil sa request ng ama pero hindi niya kayang ipagkaila sa sarili niya na iba ang epekto ng mga kilos ni Keanno sa kanya. He don't want to be attached with him...that guy is screaming red flags.
Bumalik na si Clark sa sariling condo at dumeretso sa shower. He can smell Keanno's scent in him, probably dahil sa kama siya nito natulog.
Damn, why does he have this kind of effect on me.
It's rather unusual and painful, he feels suffocated.

IT'S BEEN three weeks since he started working with Keanno in student council. Clark felt thrilled with the thought that only one week left and he can finally be free from Keanno.
"I'll be gone for three days, starting tomorrow to attend the conference in another school under Forbes."
Natuon naman ang atensyon ni Clark kay Keanno nang bigla itong nag salita. Napangisi si Clark sa narinig.
"I still have my eyes on you here."
Napalitan nang ismid ang ngisi niya. "Tch, as if I'll get myself in trouble. I only have a week left."
"You better stick to your word, Lim. Don't cause trouble while I'm away." sambit ni Keanno habang deretsong nakatitig sa kanya.
Napalunok si Clark saka umiwas ng tingin. "I told you, I won't."
Lumamlam ang ekspresyon ni Keanno. "Good, then."
KINABUKASAN ay hindi na naabutan ni Clark si Keanno. Sabi ni Kc ay hindi na raw ito dumaan sa office. Sa totoo lang ay hindi na niya kailangan pumunta rito sa office dahil wala naman si Keanno kaya wala rin siyang gagawin.
He just found himself here.
At maaga pa rin naman, dalawang oras bago ang klase niya. Nasanay na siyang maaga pumasok para pumunta sa office na ito. It became a habit.
Tumikhin si Clark bago inilibot ang paningin sa office. It felt empty without Keanno sitting on his swivel chair.
Marahang sinampal ni Clark ang sarili dahil sa iniisip niya.
Why do it seems that I'm missing him? I'm not!
Or did he?
Binuksan ni Clark ang aircon saka nahiga sa sofa. Well atleast it's cold and comfortable here. Hindi na namalayan ni Clark na nakatulog na siya.
"Hey, I told you not to sleep during working hours."
Agad na napabalikwas nang bangon si Clark nang marinig ang boses ni Keanno. Agad niyang inilibot ang paningin ngunit wala siyang nakita kahit anino nito.
Napa iling nalang siya. It's just a dream.
Tumayo na siya roon at nag ayos ng damit at buhok saka lumabas na. It's exactly 15 minutes before his class. It's always been like this since the past three weeks. Keanno will always wake him up whenever he falls asleep at exactly 15 minutes before his class.
That guy, he still bothers me even in my sleep.
"Clark, andito ka pa rin pala." sambit ni Kc nang makita siyang lumabas sa office ni Keanno.
"Fell asleep."
Ngumiti si Kc. "Naging comfortable ka na no."
He didn't know why but he nodded. Kc patted him on his shoulder.
"What will you do after you complete the one month?"
"Get myself in trouble?"
Napa iling naman si Kc at medyo napatawa. "Come on, you can do better than that. Learn from you lessons."
Clark just laughed. She have a point. "Well, I'll figure that out once it happens, I don't want to jinx it."
Napatango naman si Kc. "You're right, good luck."
Matapos ang usapan nilang dalawa ay nag punta na si Clark sa klase niya. Muntik na siyang malate.

It's Keith's birthday. A lot of things happened that night. (See chapter 15, my best friend.)
After the party ended Clark went home with a daze mind. He just realized that Allen and Michael's relationship is not the typical amo-and-hardinero, nor just a friendship.
It's obvious that they liked each other.
Woah...
Keith and Axcel
Michael and Allen
Are they really in love? Of course they are.
Although he stopped believing in love, he still wanted to hope that whatever love his friends are having, he wants to protect it. He wanted them to be in love as long as they're happy.
There's only one question in his mind.
Can he also be in love with someone?
Suddenly a picture of Keanno appeared in his mind. Agad siyang napabalikwas ng bangon.
NO WAY!
I'm must be drunk. Yeah, I'm just drunk. Let's just sleep.
