Chapter 9: Cross Path

Ethan's POV

Friend...

They say "Friend" is someone who's there for you no matter what. Thick or thin. It's a person who knows you better than anyone else

"Mom, where is Justin?" I asked when I noticed he's nowhere to be found.

"I thought you are with him. He already goes to Dolim for the application day"
I see...

I go to the parking lot and left Mom in the kitchen but then I stopped when Mom shouted: "Justin took the car, son!"

That little bastard
I stormed out of the house and ride a bus. I put my earphones in my ears and watched a not so beautiful road scene early in this morning.

A friend is someone who knew you,accepted you and believed in you before anyone else did or no one else would.

Someone sat beside me but the hell I care with other people. I couldn't even manage myself why would I mind other people business. I was about to go off the bus but then I noticed a folder, full of frivolous papers in the seat beside me and took it.

Ethan Hemsmith

It was 7 AM, I started to fall in line thank God the line is not so long. I will finish this early.

However, I don't need friends. They are socially overwhelming amd exhausting. The responsibility and endless conversation. I am contented with my life But...

"Sorry, Mr. Hemsmith but you are not allowed to join Track & Field without complete requirements"

Hemsmith? I immediately look at the folder I took a while ago and followed where the voice came from.

"I accidentally forgot it in the bus I rode on maybe you can consider it"

I saw a guy with Auburn hair and casual gray blazer begging at the school staff. As soon as I finished my application, my feet walked towards them and gave the folder to the school staff.

"Now, would you now accept his application and stop this nonsense ruckus?"

As the staff nodded, I walked out of the scene as fast as I can because I hate too much attention but someone threw a book on my head that made me turn back.

"What do you want?" I asked but then he pulled me and run

"Come on boy I'll treat you something"

"Don't touch me!" I said but he held my hand tightly and looked straight at my eyes

"Thank you so much, dude"

"I didn't do it for you so stop bothering me"

"My name is Ethan, what is your name?"

"Shawn"
