"There's something in the air," Olivia muttered beside Charlie. It was a vacant period because their teacher for that subject had a loose bowel movement. Olivia sniffed in the air deliciously.
Charlie traced Olivia's gaze. It landed on Eric and David, both seated beside each other, punching each other on the shoulders, whispering some things at each other's ears, making light banters, and overall looked like two pals enjoying their time
in a sunny picnic on a hill.
"To be honest I'm fed up with those two," Charlie replied, sighing and crossing his arms. "Just the other day they looked like they wanted to kill each other, now they're like the bestest friends. Seriously, though, I don't know what the hell's up with them. Can't Eric at least make up his mind whether he hates David or what?!" Charlie shook his head before proceeding to draw more hearts at the back of Olivia's notebook.
Olivia looked at Eric and Dave dreamily. Then she saw his boyfriend Charlie doodling on her notebook. "Hey, I said no drawing!"

"Is this true, Eric? You've finally gotten rid of that demonic being inside you?" David asked.
Eric looked at him with smile eyes. "Of course. That wonderful priest has finally banished it back to the depths of hell. But I can't be sure, it might pop up from time to time."
"When did the priest exorcise you?"
"Last Sunday." Eric smiled. "I opened up my heart to him faithfully and believed in his truthful words. And then he sprinkled me with holy water and had me bow in front of a life-sized saint. Before I know it, the demon was gone."
Eric smirked after telling his story.
Of course, David knew so well what Eric's up to. They talked about this already. It was their plan to play with their parents for what they've been doing to them.
David put an arm around Eric. "You're so holy."
"Hey, I said no touching." Eric pushed David's arm away. "The priest told me I should stay away from sin."
David slapped Eric's shoulder. "Am I a sin to you, ah?"
"Of course. The priest really made me believe in morality, that's why."
This time, David didn't know whether Eric was mocking the priest or not, because he was such a good actor, him with a straight face and not even a trace of a smile.
"Continue delivering your words like that and I might believe you." David pinched Eric's nose so hard it became a deep shade of red.
