LX: Mr. President, My Youth Is Yours!
The day is about to end yet Ulysses and Dylan don't have plans to go home anytime soon. They aren't doing anything in particular. Just sitting side by side on the seawall, watching the sun gradually retires to the west. They find it amazing how they still enjoy the company of each other even without talking. Just the sound of the waves, the refreshing smell of the sea breeze, the sunset, and the two of them make them feel more than enough. Satisfaction at its finest. Maybe things work this way when you're in love.
"What if one day we will forget about it completely?" Dylan asks out of nowhere without breaking his gaze from the sun. His face doesn't show much emotion yet his eyes express a hint of sadness. Truly, our eyes are the windows of our soul.
It took some time for Ulysses to react. He stares silently at the sunset for a little more, looking like he's thinking. He then slightly turns his head to look at Dylan who's still looking afar. The warm light reflects on h

"I can barely move my fingers. My hands are too cold." Dylan said in a low voice as he watch his fingers slowly folding and unfolding themselves. "Maybe the temperature is too cold for you? Wait, I'll tell the technician to make the aircon's temperature a little higher." Ulysses was about to turn his back and head towards the in-charge of the aircon but Dylan stopped him before he could even take a step away. "Don't! I'm not feeling cold. I'm just nervous." He forced a smile on Ulysses. But truth to be told, the temperature is a bit lower than his body could withstand. He's sensitive to cold after all. May it be in the present or in his previous life. "And you can't do that. The others might complain." "I brought my sweater with me." He took the sweater from his bag and made Dylan wear it. Knowing Vincent by heart, Ulysses assumes that Dylan isn't comfortable with cold temperatures. "It's not that thick but it should help you feel warm." The sweater just fits

The day after the election, the results of the winning candidates are announced. To formally acknowledge the new set of Student Council, the students are once again gathered at the school gymnasium for their oath-taking. "Everyone, these honorable students here on the stage with me is the new set of officers in the Student Council. Let us give them a round of applause." Ulysses said after his final speech. With a loud clap from the crowd, the new Student Council is welcomed by everyone. He continues speaking. This time, he addresses the new officers."Once again, I congratulate you all. The majority of the students here in Northeastern High School have put their trust in you and I know that's a heavy burden on your shoulders. Even so, I am hoping that you would do your best to comply with your responsibilities." The elected officers either smiled at him or nods. Well, not that Ulysses is expecting much from them though. For four years of being part of the Stud

"How about this one?" Denise walks out from the fitting room to show off the dress that's only just one of her options. It's the third dress she tried on.Looking bored, Dylan replied, "Not bad.""That looks good on you." Ulysses added.Denise isn't satisfied with their responses. She thought it must be not the dress that suits her best. "Hmm... okay, let me try the other one."She once again entered the fitting room to try the last dress she took with her.It's a weekend and the three of them went shopping together. They're looking for attires to wear for their incoming graduation ball. It's a formal party so Denise is looking for an elegant long gown and a pair of high-heeled shoes.Meanwhile, Ulysses and Dylan have yet to look for their formal suits. Denise is taking them too long. Even as energetic as Dylan is now bored. Ulysses, on the other hand, is patiently waiting, sitting beside Dylan."What do you guys think?" Denise finall

"It took us four years of hardship and struggle for us to get up to this point. However, our four years in high school were not just all about our difficulties. We also made good memories that would probably be the best times we'll ever have in our lifetime." Ulysses is already in the ending part of his last speech to the graduating batch. He looks so handsome in his black suit matched with a gold yellow necktie. Dylan is right, black and gold compliment Ulysses. Tonight is the night of their graduation ball wherein almost all the graduating students are attending. They only held the ball in the school gymnasium but the design of the place makes it a perfect place for a once-in-a-lifetime event. The former Student Council president continues, "As for me, the most special year in high school is our last year. I made a lot of breakthroughs. But the most remarkable to me is that I became the president of the Student Council after three years of being a member of it. Als

Truly, time flies when you're enjoying your life. Yesterday, they officially graduated from Northwestern High School. As expected, Ulysses got a lot of awards including a leadership award and as well as the award for the batch valedictorian.And since today is the start of their summer vacation before they go on to their college journey, it is also expected for Ulysses to go back to their hometown.Sad to say, Ulysses decided not to live in Cruz's residence throughout his college life. He got an offer from the university he's attending. As long as he can comply with the conditions of his scholarship, he'll have the privilege to occupy a room in the university dorm.And besides, he doesn't have a thick face to make Mrs. Cruz feed him too even though she's kind enough to offer him three meals every single day.Well, it's kinda sad, especially that Ulysses is going to a different college that Dylan and Denise would attend. They'll surely have less time to se

"This house is scarier than the apartment you used to rent." Dylan said as he wonders his eyes around the huge abandoned manor.Well, he doesn't mind living in a huge house but this manor looks like it's going to collapse any time soon. And aside from that, because of the lack of care, it looks more like a haunted house than a home. If they sleep here, someone not our kind might be laying down beside them... if you know what Dylan is thinking about. And even these tall gates before them are full of rust. It looks like just a slight force applied to it will cause its fall.Hearing the other's reaction, Ulysses scratches the back of his head and forced a smile. "I know but I can't think of any place to stay except for this one. Well, isn't it better than us sleeping on the streets, right?" He took the key that's secretly hidden on the side of the gate and unlocked it. "Shall we go now?"Dylan took a deep breath before nodding.Apparently, Ulysses and Dylan run away from th

Ulysses recounts all the money he has. It's not much but he thinks he's able to support their needs in the meantime. "I still have some savings from the allowance I got from my scholarship and plus yours... I think it should be sufficient for both of us until I get my first payout for work."If Dylan won't change his mind and stay stubborn as he is now, Ulysses will be forced to spend his vacation to work. And if this setup will be for the long term, he'll just do a part-time job on the night shift and go to school by day. Since he got himself a scholarship and school allowance, that would be extra money."..." Dylan, on the other hand, is silently looking at his wallet. He's not wearing a happy face so it's safe to say that he doesn't have much money with him.Ulysses knows him very well. He's prideful and quite stubborn at times. It's clear that he still needs his mother's help to get through his day-to-day life. However, his attitude gets on the w

Dylan finds himself in a pitch dark place. He can't see a thing, not even his hands. His eyes are wide open yet it still seems like he has his eyes closed. "Where am I?" Dylan asked himself. "Anyone here? Ulysses? Where are you?" Even after asking for anyone's presence, he didn't get a single response. Dylan tried so hard to recall what exactly happened before he came into this dark place. As far as he could remember, he's in an old mansion with Ulysses after they run away from their house. And then he suddenly feels unwell. And then he took a rest on Ulysses' arms. And then... and then after that, he couldn't remember a single thing. Could it be... he's just dreaming at the moment? "How could you forget about me?" A familiar voice echoed in the area. That voice of a man sounded like it came from a cave. It sounded so distant yet loud. Dylan isn't so sure about what's happening around him anymore. "How could you easily throw it all away?
