XVIII: Mr. President, Just Stay!
"Ulysses, there's something bothering me for some time now." Dylan is currently staring at the ceiling of his room while he's lying flat on his bed.
He seems to be thinking deeply, like a philosopher wondering why he exists."What is it?" Ulysses didn't bother to look in his direction.He's crouching on one corner of the room, busy playing with Dylan's Xbox. He's so into it that he barely pays attention to the other.He heard Dylan sigh before he replies. "There are no girls approaching me anymore.""When?" The video game requires Ulysses to move his character in an instant or else, he'll lose. Subconsciously, his body dodges in real life too."After I broke up with my last girlfriend. It's expected that after a week, there will be a new girl who'll approach me and will volunteer to be my next lover." Dylan paused to count for the days that passed since he's single again. "It's almost two weeks after our breakup!"Unfortunately for Ulysses, he lost the game. HeKaugnay na kabanata
Say Yes, Mr. President! [BxB] XIX: Mr. President Is Moving Out?!
Their mother, Mrs. Cruz, is nice. Just like what Denise said, she's happy to have her children's friend come over to their house. They rarely got visitors after all.Ulysses found out that she's raising her twins alone since their father left them for a woman and has his own family now. Their father sends them money for support but they haven't seen him since he left.Mrs. Cruz works as an assistant in a law office. She had no choice but to work since the money that their father sends is not enough for their living. Working as an assistant consumes too much of her time which ended up spending less time in the house with her children.Of course, Dylan and Denise understand that, and they didn't pressure their mother about it. They don't even tell their mother that there's a family day or homeroom parent-teacher meeting. Well, she's not going anyway, and they don't want her to feel bad about it.Currently, they're having their dinner and of course, Ulysses got invited to t
Say Yes, Mr. President! [BxB] XX. Mr. President, Don't Go Away!
"My neck still hurts." Dylan stretches his neck.Since he woke up, this stiff neck is bothering him. Who would not suffer from a stiff neck if you sleep with your neck stretched to the side for the whole night? Dylan's head fell from the pillow without noticing it with his body still lying straight."It's because you stayed in an uncomfortable position all night." Ulysses replies in a plainspoken manner.This statement of his made the other knit his eyebrows. "And who's fault is that? You took more than a half of the bed."Since Ulysses spent the night in Cruz's residence. Except he slept on the same bed as Dylan, he also borrowed some change of clothes from him. Of course, he can't sleep with his school uniform, right?Unfortunately for Dylan, he wasn't informed that this grumpy student council president is like a clock when sleeping. His body rotates in different directions."..." Ulysses is silent for a while. He must have bothered Dylan so much. Surprisingly, h
Say Yes, Mr. President! [BxB] XXI: Mr. President Was the Mr. President of the 3rd Student Council!
Dylan finds himself inside the cramped student council office. In fact, he's sitting properly with his fingers interlocked with each other on top of the desk. Sitting like a good student he is!For a moment he got confused. Why is he here again? Was he even supposed to be here? He looks around and finds Ulysses sitting on the SC president's desk. As usual, he's busy with paper works."Pst... Ulysses!" Dylan calls out. Surprisingly, the student council president didn't even lift his head to look at him. Now, this made him confused. Dylan is sure that he made his voice loud and clear. Is he ignoring him on purpose? "Hey, Ulysses! Are you deaf?"Finally, Mr. President raises his head to look at him. However, it's strange how he looks confused like something is bothering him. And another strange thing... although this person sitting on the president's desk has the same face as Ulysses, he doesn't look... grumpy.Ulysses turns his head left to right and vice versa seems to lo
Say Yes, Mr. President! [BxB] XXII: Mr. President, Wake Him Up!
Dylan finds himself within an endless void space. All he sees are the clear blue skies and the shallow waters below him that reflect the fine weather above him. He looks around. For some unknown reason, the first thing that comes into his mind is to search for Ulysses. After some time of wandering around, he confirmed that no one else is present."Why am I here? What is this place?"Then he heard a humming sound. Judging from the voice, the person humming a melody is a man. What's more strange is that the song he's humming is the nostalgic melody that only he and Ulysses can hear.He looks around again, trying to find the person but still sees no one except for himself. The melody sounds distant as well, just enough for him to hear. It's almost like someone is calling for him... but who and where is he?Dylan closes his eyes and tries to figure out where the humming came from. He took a step forward. It seems this person calling for him is just ahead of him. He walks and
Say Yes, Mr. President! [BxB] XXIII: Mr. President Will Keep You Company!
"Are you sure you're not going back to sleep yet?" William asks as he stirs his mug of hot chocolate."Yes, I don't feel like sleeping again any time sooner." Vincent took a sip of his own hot chocolate. "Don't mind me. I'm good."The two of them went out of their room and stayed in the corridor for a while to take a breath of fresh air while they watch the twinkling stars above. It's actually a little chilly so Vincent took his blanket with him and put it on his shoulders, providing him the comfortable warmth.Just a little detail to notice, the apartment they're renting is the same as the one that Ulysses is staying in at the present time. In fact, they are staying in the exact room that Ulysses is dwelling within his four years of high school.Unlike in Ulysses' time, this apartment is pretty new. It's the same as the neighboring buildings. Four decades earlier ago from the present time, these residential buildings actually don't look scary at all. Although most of th
Say Yes, Mr. President! [BxB] XXIV: Mr. President Remembers It Clearly!
"William, from now on, this child will be your study companion."William can clearly remember how his father introduced Vincent to him. At that time, the eight-year-old young master of the House of Lopez doesn't know where this weak and spineless-looking creature came from.Vincent as a child was a skinny one. Aside from his pale complexion, his body is full of bruises and wounds. This made him covered with bandages. But what bothers the child the most is Vincent's pair of dim eyes, like it all, used up its brightness. From William's vision, he sees through the other's melancholy."Study companion?" Hearing the word study, William's bright face turns into a long one. "I don't want how that sounds, father." Just like any other typical child, William once hated to study as well.Others say learning is fun. But maybe it only applies to those children who get to go to school with other children around their age. William, however, has a different case. His mother is very prot

Nothing much happened the next day. It's just another ordinary day. And by ordinary, there isn't much work waiting for the members of the Student Council."March is approaching." William sighs quietly as he leans on the backrest of his chair. He just finished the work that's supposed to be done yesterday. Good thing, the deadline for these paper works got extended. "We're graduating soon."Vincent on the other hand is currently organizing his desk. "Yes. Time sure flies." Thinking about the memories they made within their four years in high school, Vincent can't help but draw a slight smile on his lips."What are you planning to take up for college?" Like a hiring employer that is asking an applicant, William intertwined his fingers, putting his hands on his desk, and raised his eyebrows. "I'm sure you already have a plan. Why are you not telling me anything?"William already decided on the career path he's taking. He wants to be a respected teacher in the near future, p
Say Yes, Mr. President! [BxB] XXVI: Mr. President Needs To Go Home!
William rises from his seat and walks towards the doorway to pick up the envelope. He reads the details and learned that the letter came from their hometown."It's from father." He told Vincent.His parents rarely send him a letter so they are not expecting to receive one from them. What's more strange is that this letter is addressed to both of them.They didn't waste any time and opened the envelope that's sealed by wax, embedding the family emblem of the House of Lopez."That must be an official business of your family." Vincent jokingly said.William got his humor and chuckles. "Perhaps. Let's find out together."Basically, the letter asked them how are they doing, how are their studies and such. But as they read further, the topic shifted into a more serious one. Mr. Lopez isn't being direct to the point but he mentioned something for each of them. For William, he mentioned something about his future that they need to talk about. And for Vincent, Mr. Lopez sai
