“Hi, ate Sam!” Augustine blushingly greets their pretty neighbor.
“Hello baby boy”, she pinched the chubby cheeks and adorable face of Sebastian’s youngest brother.
“Give me some money, ate”, he is really the mischievous one.
“What? August, you are richer than me, remember?” Sam finds him the cutest.
They are enjoying the company of each other when Sebastian arrives at home.
“I told you to be here at 6 and not 5!” he snobs at her presence and went directly upstairs. When he noticed that she was still sitting there and talking to Augustine he got irritated.
‘You” pointing at Samantha. “Follow me!” He continued walking upstairs towards his bedroom.
Sam happily follows him.
When they enter his bedroom, Sam runs to his bed, removes her slippers and jumps up and down. Frowning, he goes to his walk-in closet to take a quick shower and change his clothes too. He went back to where Sam is and saw her lying down on his bed while hugging one of his pillows.
“Hey, are we going to study or not?” he stops himself from getting closer to her.
Sam opens her eyes and smiles at him. She gets up from the bed and sits beside him on the couch.
“Here is my test paper. Ma’am Ocampo said that our test will be based on that” she gets her paper from her bag and gives it to him.
Sebastian scans the test paper and shakes his head. “The heck! This is so easy, even August can answer it without sweating!” she grimaced with his comparison. Augustine is just twelve years old.
“That’s why I asked you for help, I know it is easy for you”, she calmly said.
“Tsk!” Could you please move a little?” She is sitting with him so closely.
“Don’t you feel anything when our skin touches?” she naughtily gets closer to him. She lets him feel her breast that touches his arm.
“Hey! Distance please!” he impatiently utters those words.
“Don’t you find me attractive?” she smiles seductively at him.
Sebastian swallowed hard. He doesn't want to answer that so he just moves away from her. “You are not my type!” he points out.
“Are you gay?” Samantha laughs at him.
“What?” He clearly is affected with the question.
“Maybe you are a gay that’s why you are not affected by me! Duh!”
“Can’t you just accept the fact that YOU are NOT my type!!” He is so annoyed with their topic so he pushes Samantha who keeps on moving closer to him.
“Ouch!” She exaggerates her reaction. He is getting physical in being away from her. Hmp!
Seb stopped for a while. Maybe he really needs to be harsh on her so she will stop her craziness.
Sam feels bad with the obvious rejection so she keeps her distance.
‘Let us review now” he declares. “This is the example of sinα±sinβ=2 sin〖1/2 (α±β)〗 cos〖1/2 (α∓β)〗...If we were to subtract sin(α – β) from sin(α + β) we could derived the product-to-sum identity for the product of cos α cos β. “ Seb begins his explanation.
Samantha listens attentively even if she can’t really focus because his face is distracting her. He is so handsome when he is seriously teaching her.
“The product-to-sum identities are used to rewrite the product between sines and/or cosines into a sum or difference. These identities are derived by adding or subtracting the sum and difference formulas for sine and cosine that were covered in an earlier section. “ He stopped talking when they heard her phone’s buzzing sound.
Sam fishes her phone inside her bag and checks who texted her.
Dustin: Babe I’m on the way.
Dustin: s**t! wrong send.
Hahahahaha
Sam can’t stop laughing after reading the messages that Dustin mistakenly sent to her.
“Who’s that?”
“Just a friend, my love”, she can’t help her laughter. Dustin is probably meeting her boyfriend. She will surely grill information from that gay tomorrow.
Samantha: Are you going out to meet your boylet?
Dustin: Eeewwww!
Samantha: You call him babe! Is he a pig? Haha
Sebastian got furious watching Sam texting back whoever that friend is.
Dustin: Shut up!
Samantha: You have -
“OMG! Seb!”, she cannot believe that he throws her phone on the wall. It is now scattered and broken.
“Don’t waste my time Sammy, you are texting there while I am teaching you! How dare you! f**k! Answer that item now! He madly throws her a piece of paper containing some problems to solve. Sebastian walks out on her.
“What is his problem? Temperamental brute! Hmp! she keeps on murmuring and silently cursing Seb for breaking her phone. She answers the three items he left for her. It has been forty minutes already and he is still not coming back.
She feels tired and sleepy so she lays down on the couch and closes her eyes.
—------------
After he calms himself, Sebastian decides to come back to his room. There she saw Sam sleeping soundly. He checks the paper he left her and finds out she got all of them right. It is almost eight in the evening, no wonder he feels irritated since he is hungry too.
“Sammy, wake up! Time to go home”, he pats her arm.
“Hmmm one minute! Sheis so sleepy right now and does not want to open her eyes.
“No more one minute! Get up now!
“I don’t want to move. Could you please just call Oscar and ask him to carry me home? Oscar is their family driver.
“What the heck! Are you commanding me now?”
Seb has no choice but to carry Sam to bring her to their house beside theirs. He can’t let another man touch her while she is sleeping, it would be in his conscience if something bad happened to her.
Their maid Lita quickly assists him until they arrive at her bedroom. She can’t believe that he has pictures on her bedside table. “You are really crazy. Stop loving Sam. I can't reciprocate that feeling.’ he whispers to her thinking that she is sleeping.
When the door closes Sam opens her teary eyes. “I wish I could Seb” she said sadly.
She wipes her tears, stands up and goes to her bathroom. She cleans her face and reveals her pale face without the make up. She clings on make-up to look lively.
Her pale face cannot hide what she wants to hide from everyone.
Her illness.
