I am glad that Cedric and I are friends again. I am happy that he finally agreed to be my friend. I have always given friendship high priority but have terribly failed once and have learnt a lesson. As we enter our class, Cedric goes and sits in his usual place while I sit down in my place. I check the time, it is two minutes to half past eight. Alvin turns around and looks at me smiling.

"What are you happy about?" he asks.

"I'll tell you about it later" I say.

"Okay" he says and turns to face the front.

I turn around to see what Cedric is doing. He is looking outside the window. I turn to face the front. I won't push him again to do anything that might harm our friendship. I will give him enough time and space. For now, having him as my friend once again is most important to me.

The French literature teacher enters the class and asks each one of us to recite our assignment. It is quite fun and finally the bell for lunch hour rings. I grab my phone and purse from my bag and get up. Alvin is waiting for me outside the door and I signal him to wait and walk toward's Cedric's place.

"Cedric, would you like to go for a cup of coffee?" I ask him.

"Sure" he says, gets up and walks with me towards the door.

I decide that I will introduce my two friends to each other. I introduce them to each other. Cedric is a bit shy so Alvin extends his hand and they shake hands. I feel so happy seeing this. We walk to the cafeteria together and buy our coffee and sit in same place which is mine and Adele's favorite place. Adele hasn't texted me or called me since. 

Our lunch hour goes quite well and we are laughing most of the time. I don't realize how fast the time passed because of these two funny friends. I notice that Cedric isn't as shy as he used to be back in school. He has become quite humorous. The bell rings and we walk back to our class. The next period is leisure so the three of us decide to go to the library.

We spend the next 1 and half hour discussing about adventures and the librarian keeps approaching us to keep quiet. Finally, the bell rings and we head to the parking together. The black Toyota Supra parked beside my Porsche turns out to be Cedric's. We wave each other goodbye and drive out of the college.

---------------------------------------

I wake up to a loud banging on my room's door. I grab my phone from the bed side table and check the time. It is already 10 in the morning. I jump out of bed knocking a pillow.

"Stefan, is that you?" I ask.

No one replies so I walk towards the door and open it. Standing in front of me is 6 feet, 3 and a half inch tall guy looking down at me smiling. He has dark brown hair, longer at the front. He has grown beard which is dark brown and light brown in a few places. He has got dark brown eyes and medium complexion.

"Hello siso" he says smiling down at me.

"Holy god, Declan!" I exclaim and he pulls me into a half hug.

"Whoa! look at you. I think you've grown an inch taller" he says winking at Stefan who breaks into a laughter. 

"Look at you, did someone pulled your leg or something" I say winking at him.

"Come on, siso" he says smiling.

"I haven't seen you for a year. Got loads to tell you" he continues.

"Me too, wait for me downstairs, I'll freshen up and come" I say.

They climb down the stairs and I walk towards the washroom.
