Eight
Ethan woke up from his bed as the alarm went off. Then he turned it off. He rubbed his eyes and stretched his arms.
The class is still in the afternoon, but he's waking up early to work out. He went downstairs, brushed his teeth, ate some cereals, and drank some juice. Then brushed his teeth again.
He started working out. It is really motivating when you work out with a view like this, he thought.
His sweat started dripping down his neck, and he could already feel the heat on his body; until he could no longer catch his breath, he stopped.
He went straight ahead into the refrigerator, put some ice cubes on his glass, put some water on it, and drank it. He looked into the mirror. He's topless, and he wears his boxers. Yes, it is not an appropriate outfit for working out, but he can really appreciate his body this way.
I have a damn good body.
He showered until he felt that there was no lon

Ethan got back into the room, absorbing what he just found out.He looked at Mellow which has been talking to Chrystyn. Chrystyn does not need to find out. He wants to make it natural, pretending that he does not perceive Mellow as a threat."What took you so long?" Chrystyn said."The restroom's full, so I had to wait."Chrystyn asked Mellow, "So, Mellow, do you want to go out later?"Mellow said, "Ah, I got something to do."Chrystyn shrugged. Ethan just observed.The class ended with Ethan's mind still on Mellow.They went into the cafeteria, chose a table to sit on, ordered some food, and ate."Why are you spacing out?" Mellow asked as she took a bite of her apple.Chrystyn said, "Me?""No, Ethan."Ethan lifted his gaze to meet Mellow's eyes."Well, I found some work earlier when I went here to school, and I'm ju

Ethan touched his lips as he was on his way home. He's now in the cab. He closed his eyes and just sighed.I am not gay.He looked outside the window, the lights in the city were already lit, and he could see people walking, strolling, running. The town is indeed busy at this time of the night when the sun hides and the moon shines bright.I'm not gay."Let's stop here."The cab stopped, he paid and went out. He went into the elevator and closed it. Then it opened."Troye," said Ethan.Troye just nodded. The elevator door closes. The silence between them took place."Hey," Ethan said.Troye did not budge. He just pretended not to care. Ethan sighed and let it passed.As it reached the 15th floor, Ethan retook one glance at Troye and went out.He input the passcode on his unit, sat on the sofa, and sighed again. He covered his eyes

Days have passed, and Ethan has been working on the project alone.He grabbed the calculator which had been on the table and then grabbed his hair out of frustration. There's still a lot left to solve, and he can't get past this problem.He stood up, grabbed a drink from his fridge, grabbed 2 cups of chocolate pudding, and then placed it on the table and started eating the pudding. He looked at the sheet of paper as he took a bite of the pudding.Realization hits, and it's like the pudding gave Ethan the answer.He placed the pudding back on the table, grabbed his pen, and started answering and solving like a genius."Yes!" he exclaimed as he got the answer, and now he's ready to answer another one.Each pair of partners gets to solve five problems, with each pair having different sets.Ethan can still remember the day after the pairing was announced. Troye stood up from his seat and told the profes

"Why are you spacing out?"Ethan looked at Chrystyn, and he just shook his head."You have been like that for weeks now. Are you worried about the result of your exams?" Chrystyn asked."Yeah. Maybe. Maybe not," Ethan said, and he sighed.It has been weeks since the party has ended, and sincethathappened. Ethan did not talk about it to Chrystyn.He's been so confused about himself. But he's madder that he let that happen. He always gets teary-eyed remembering that. He can feel the enjoyment, the fun, and along with it are big chunks of disgust."I just want to transfer to another university," Ethan said as he sulked again on the table. Mellow is with them. She looked at Ethan, then she looked at Chrystyn, and she just shrugged.Mellow asked, "Well, can you just tell us the root of your problem, and let us assume?""This university. Troye. And everything," Etha

Weeks have passed after that.Ethan has stood up from his chair, picked up his bag. He turned to Mellow and Chrystyn and said, "Let's go."It is lunch, and they will be dining in the restaurant, which is rooftop-based.Ethan's life has been quiet ever since that incident. After he made some realizations. There's no Troye that was bullying him. There's no Chad to remember. Even Chrystyn is not teasing him as he confesses that he mightbe gay.Yes, it is stillmight because there's still part of him that wants to see that there could still be a chance where he will date a girl, fall in love with her, get married, make a family. Everything that he expected.It is what society expects of a man too. That's what he thought.He's not just ready.As they've entered the rooftop, the smell of grilled pork ribs is roaming in the air.They are greeted by the staff

As Ethan headed to his class, he saw Chrystyn and Mellow in their separate seats.Chrystyn looked at him and then back again to where her phone was.Ethan decided not to sit beside any of them. Not for now. He chose to sit right in the back, on the last row. He placed his bag, pulled out his phone, and checked his social media.It has been so quiet with no one to talk to. It is like he is back to being the loner on his first day.He noticed that a group of guys was entering the room. It was Troye's friends.But where's Troye? The chair next to him moved. It was Troye."Have you made up your mind?" Troye asked."No.""Ethan, please," Troye said. Troye's talking like he's whispering. Like he does not want anyone to know that he's talking with Ethan."Look, it even feels like you don't want to talk to me. And here you are, begging for me to tutor you," Ethan said.

He ate the lunch he prepared - pork chop, fried rice, and orange juice. And then he placed it in the dishwasher, turned it on, and then waited for a minute, and then put it in the rack.He hurriedly left his unit and rode the elevator. He then hailed a cab, dropped himself off at the university, and waited right in front of the gate.He slapped his forehead as he remembered that he didn't have any contact with Troye. Then he thought of his Instagram. He immediately opened his account, and there he messaged Troye.I am here at the gate. Where are you?Minutes passed, but still nothing. Is this a prank? It
