Chapter 9
XAVIAR and Lucas are already finished to their dinner. Lahat ng mga gamit ay nailipat na sa tamang lagayan at kinuha na ni Lucas ang kaniyang bag para ilagay ang kaniyang mga gamit.
He just put some notebooks and even charged his iPad together with the apple pen. Xaviar is getting crazy how his gadgets are very expensive and seeing how he is eager to study.
He felt moved again seeing Lucas. If that day doesn’t come, he can still manage to see his sister going to school and help her a lot.
He is a strong man but when it comes to his family side; he turns into a soft one. They said even the most evil criminal has still a soft spot left in their heart.
Normally, Lucas is not that excited to go to school but this time, he is now.
Xaviar goes to the bed. Lucas just seat and review his passed lessons from Aklan.
“I will go to sleep now.” Pagpapa-alam ni Xaviar sa kaniya at tumango lang ito.
He is also thrilled to the new environment that he will be part of starting tomorrow.
Xaviar woke up early in the morning it is four and he is preparing for the things of Lucas.
He opened his eyes and he sees Lucas right on his side; his face is inches away from him, that he could feel his breath.
Napalunok nalang siya at bumangon ng marahan. Merong kung ano’ng kumabog sa kaniyang dibdib at hinawakan nito ang kaniyang ulo.
“What did he do? Anong oras to natulog kagabi?” tanong nito sa sarili at bumangon sa higaan.
Lucas always goes to sleep with only his boxer short covering his sensitive and private part.
Lucas rolled revealing his morning wood bulging from his boxer short. Natawa nalang si Xaviar sa kaniyang nakikita at di hamak mas malaki ang katawan ni Lucas sa kaniya.
He gets his bag and check if everything is okay. Para siyang grade one na papasok sa unang araw ng pasukan. Lucas is a new adult now so he must know that place and he already said where the entrance of his new school is.
Xaviar cooked rice and some viand for him until it is now five in the morning. Lucas must get up six because there will be a flag ceremony held every Monday.
When he is nearly finishing it, he made an aromatic coffee and it smells all over the room.
Until he saw something on the table holding the plates.
Nakakita siya ng isang diary na merong lock na maliit. Nagtaka ito at naalala ang notebook na ito noong unang kita nila sa Mall of Asia.
Bumuntong hiningang kinuha ito ni Xaviar at merong nakalagay.
Do not touch!
Bakit namamatay ang pag-ibig?
Lucas’ property, keep out!
Natawa naman siya sa mga nakalagay pero ang kumuha ng kaniyang atensiyon ay ang; bakit namamatay ang pag-ibig na nakalagay sa labas nito.
Is he heartbroken? Is something bothering him? Bakit ba namamatay ang pag-ibig?
Out of his curiousity he go to his bag and search for the keys of it. He cannot see something until someone spokes out of nowhere.
“Can I have a coffee?” the faint voice of him makes Xaviar startled and put the diary inside the bag of Lucas.
“Good morning!” napasigaw ito sa kaniyang pagkabigla at kinusot ni Lucas ang kaniyang mga mata bago bumangon.
“Can I have an Americano?” Hot Americano coffee please.” He added and go to the sink to gargle.
Huminga ng malalim si Xaviar at pumunta sa kaniyang ginagawang kape.
“Eat first,” he ordered and Lucas goes to the table. He is searching for something then looked at him.
“Did you find my diary?” tanong nito habang di makasagot si Xaviar.
“Ahh… yun ba? Nasa bag mo yata nilagay ko.” He exclaimed in nervousness and Lucas goes to his back rushingly looking for his precious friend.
When he confirmed that it is inside of it, his breath goes deeply but then smiled.
“Nandito nga, binuksan mo ba ito?” Muling tanong nito at hindi sumagot si Xaviar sa kaniya.
Lucas goes to the table and he offered him what he requested. He smells the aroma of it and slowly drinks it.
“I will go to sleep again.” Xaviar murmured then Lucas just nodded and after he eats his breakfast, he gets his towel and washes himself.
After he is done he witness that he is asleep on the bed.
It is almost half an hour before seven and he needs to be fast. Upon wearing his casual attire and looking good.
His skinny levis, with a H and M shirt partnered with a converse shoes.
All of his requirements are okay and he is ready to go. Binuhat na nito ang kaniyang bag at nag-iwan ng isang sulat.
Aalis na ako, di na kita gigisingin. Thank you so much… BOSS.
He even chuckled writing the letter for Xaviar that is written in a sticky note.
Lucas get locked the door and leave Xavair asleep.
Maybe he woke up early. He smiled and walks up to the Pedro Gil street and on his way to his new school.
Upon arriving to the university, he receives a text message.
From: Mom
[Good luck sa first day son. I love you.]
To: Mom
[Thanks Mom! You’re the best, I love you too.]
He replied then makes his way up to the campus showing his new identification card, upon reaching the camp. He is adjusting to his new environment without anyone knowing him.
Walang pake-alam ang mga tao dito at kahit ang mga professors at instructors ay akalain mong mga estudyante lang dahil walang uniform.
He smiles and walks up to his new classroom.
He goes to his room number one. Getting a new chair and all of his classmates are knows each other well since they are now third year.
Ang iba pa ay nagsitinginan sa kaniya at nagbubulungan.
“Sino siya? "
“Transferee yata.”
“Ang guwapo niya. Artist ba yan?”
Patuloy lang sila sa pagbubulungan at tumunog na ang bell. Nagsi-alisan ang lahat at merong tumawag sa kaniya.
Agad naman niya itong sinagot at si Aura na tumatawag sa kaniya.
[Bakla! Good luck sa first day mo!]
[Oo, mamaya nalang parang flag na ehh.]
[Sige, Sige dito rin eh.]
Agad naman nilang pinatay ang tawag at pagkatapos ng flag ceremony ay winelcome ng mga teachers ang mga bagong estudyante.
It is a challenge for him to deal with so many people around here. At this rate he will need some days to deal.
Paano kaya si Aura don? Hayst! Sana mag kaklase padin sana kami ngayon.
How Lucas wished that he were still classmates with his best friend. He sighed and the waves of students make him felt alone standing in the crowd of peoples.
He is walking alone up to his classroom and some of the students familiarize his face.
A freshman approaches him, asking a question, “Are you Lucas Patterson, kuya?” natigilan ang mga tao sa kanilang paghakbang nang marinig ang sinabi ng isang freshman na nagtanong sa kaniya.
Lucas halted then speaks, “oo ako nga.”
