"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 since that happened. 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

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.

The first day of the tutoring session starts.Ethan has prepared every material that he has for this session. There's nothing that benefits him in this tutor session, but he did it for the sake of Neil and for the sake of knowing the truth sooner.It is Saturday, and they'll be meeting today. 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

It was Sunday morning.Ethan decided to turn off his alarm and turn off his phone. He has been waking up every day at 6 AM, and for this time, he just wanted to let himself succumbed to his bed.The sun rays are already reflecting in his living room. At this time, he should be waking up, preparing breakfast, working out, and taking a bath. It is always the same routine that he was used to.He heard a knock on his door. It's a loud knock.He's still not ready to wake up yet. And now, he's sitting on his bed, stretching his arms. He yawned.I have such a bad breath.The knocking still does not stop. He heard the knob turning, left and right."Wait up!"Ethan opened the door, and there he saw Chrystyn standing."Oh, thank God!" Chrystyn said as she hugged Ethan."What happened?" asked Ethan."I have read about this where people who tend to have no contro

Ethan poured out the box of cereal into his bowl.It has been weeks since he's tutoring Troye. They haven't seen Mellow right after the fight happened. There's no presence of Mellow in the university. Ethan and Chrystyn thought she might have transferred to a different university or took up another degree. But considering that, it's not entirely possible knowing that it's in the middle of the academic year.He grabbed a carton of fresh milk and then poured a generous amount of it into the bowl. He mixed the cereal and milk all together. He took a spoonful of it and then ate.He thought about Troye. Everything is good with him. And it's like everything changed since the tutoring session happened. It can be said that they are already on good terms. However, they don't make conversations on campus. It's like being close together, but no one should know.He shook his head at that thought.Ethan took the last bite of his cereal a

Chrystyn and Ethan met upright in the café. They'll be having a makeup class because exams are coming soon, and there's not much time left for other topics to be discussed.It's a cold day. The clouds are gloomy. At this time, the sun should be rising, and sun rays are felt. But today, it's just cold and gloomy. Weather like this makes Ethan misses his family. They usually watch movies together with heavy comforter, eating popcorns, and having fun. And when it rains, all of them watch the raindrops together with their hot chocolate drink and marshmallows on top.Ethan entered right into the café instead of waiting for Chrystyn. He took the seat right at the very corner, which is a sofa-like type of seat. A girl approached him."Hey, I can see that you're new here. If you want to order, go into the counter, and we'll take it."Ethan took a glance at the girl, and he froze. The girl tilted her head, trying to remember something."You're

Ethan's thought is clouded. It's full of negativity. He does not know where to start. Is there even anything to start? It's like his mind doesn't know what's to comprehend in this situation. Right now, there's an external conflict going on, but at the same time, he wants to make peace with Mellow.To just let it all go and go back from the beginning.Ethan reached for his phone on the bedside table. He opened his social media accounts and saw that were some posts about him.I've heard there's a man that assaulted a woman in this university, although I don't know who.It's scary to think they're all friends and they decided to assault one of them. Poor woman.I hope he gets caught or gets suspended.Can't he be kicked out? Ethan sighed as he read the remarks of the people on his feed. They know about the issue, but they don't remember his name nor face.There's still a chance I can fix th

Ethan and Chrystyn went out of the clinic when it was already dark. Sure, there were evening classes, but at this time, it would be hard for them to be recognized, and only a few people were lurking around.“Thanks a lot for letting us stay here,” Ethan said as he got his bag.“It’s alright. Your nose is bleeding anyway, and your reason for staying here is valid. Take care, both of you,” said the nurse.Chrystyn patted Ethan in the back, and she smiled at the nurse, mouthing thank you.As they closed the door, they looked left and right, seeing if someone would recognize them.“How did you even get my bag here, anyway?” Ethan asked.Chrystyn answered, “I sneak out on the room when there’s already no one in there. I asked the janitor to open the room.”Ethan nodded.“So, what’s our plan?” she asked.Ethan sighed and said, “I&rsquo
