Three months passed since the start of the school year. We got along well, me, Matt and yeah, Jasmin. Matt and I became friend. I don't know but after the death of Martin, I learned a  lesson. Even I don't talk a lot and always just studies; of course I know how to spend my leisure times. We weren't hanging-out only. We even studied together and form ourselves a study club. I spent my time mostly with Matt since he's a very happy-go-lucky guy. One time in lunch, while sitting at my usual table. But now it became our usual table.

"You changed." Jasmin told me.

"M...me? Where? When?" I asked.

"Like now, you answers directly unlike before and you smile a lot." She grinned.

I chuckled. "Yeah, you like it?" She blushed.

Yeah, this is how it felt to have friends huh? I wasted so many years. I wished I could go back to freshmen year or in junior years and not just focused on studying. Friends don't affect grades at all. Instead it affects them...

"Dude, thank you so much!" Matt exclaimed almost crying after he got his exam scores and see his high grades. "I never received this kind of grades before." Yeah, we did a lot of studying together before the exam, with him and Jasmin.

Jasmin on the other hand. After we got off to class. She jumped on my arms, screaming like a crazed dog.

"I passed! My mom will be so proud of me! I never got this grade before!" She screamed in happiness. She doesn't care even where in the middle of the hallway. Everyone was screaming like her too. Students who passed.

"Dude! How did you manage to take the exams with one , two mistakes only?" Matt asked in disbelief. I shrugged.

"That's him Idiot!" Jasmin pinched Matt's ear. "He always got the highest."

We laughed together as we walked to the canteen. That's when a two girls asked us if they can join our club. They're from other section, Sapphire.

"I'm Janeth." Said the one with wavy hair. She's a beauty. I looked at Matt and caught him grinning so wide. "I'm Matt..." He extended his hand to her. Jasmin slapped his hand and looked at me. I don't know what to say so I shrugged.

"I'm Carol." Said the other one. Black hair. Black eyes. Tan. Athletic body. I got "wow" on my head. I looked at Jasmin and she's not amused at all. But, still, she's friendly. She smiled at them warmly and accepted their wish. Now we became five. We're awkward at first but after a month, we become so acquainted at each other.

After the midterm came. Yeah, we five have passed. Everyone was thanking me. Even it's not my work, it was their hard work actually. I just explained and corrected things they don't get to understand at our teacher's discussion.
