Thirteen
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 might be gay.
Yes, it is still might 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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Ethan placed the cup of coffee on the table next to where Pierre was working."Pierre, I don't get what you said earlier," Ethan said, still bothered by what Pierre told him."I meant what I said, and I am not exaggerating," Pierre answered as he kept himself busy on the task."You see, my father is not that kind of a man he is."Pierre looked at him. "He's a great father to you, Ethan. He's a good man even.""Then why?""You cannot battle business with kindness, Ethan. Your father almost failed in his business because he followed his heart. It only took some time until it hardened, and he started destroying others."Ethan did not know
