Chapter 68 : Flashback 19 : Unwanted Lies

I could manage to bring Eric to the school. He got a bit of courage after talking his heart out with me. It's indeed the best therapy to just talk.

"Sometimes we just snap at a silly problem", Samuel says to Eric as we walk through the corridor. "I bet you were not even thinking about the college two weeks ago"

Eric nods.

"Just relax. No one exactly knows what they are capable of. You'll get it", Samuel adds.

We lied to him.

I LIED to him. It sucks. But there's nothing we could do. We told him Eric is disturbed about his dropping grades and it suddenly overwhelmed him.

"See you on lunch", Samuel passes me a small smile and squeezes my hand lightly before walking into his English class.

I and Eric walk towards the geography class as he lets out a sigh.

"You okay?" I ask.

"I'm feeling bad that you had to lie to Samuel for me", he says.

"It's fine. It would be wrong if the secret was about me. I'm keeping your secret and it has nothing to do with my friendship with Samuel.
