2021-09-20 09:45:17Days have passed, and Ethan has been working on the project alone.
He grabbed the calculator which had been on the table and then grabbed his hair out of frustration. There's still a lot left to solve, and he can't get past this problem.
He stood up, grabbed a drink from his fridge, grabbed 2 cups of chocolate pudding, and then placed it on the table and started eating the pudding. He looked at the sheet of paper as he took a bite of the pudding.
Realization hits, and it's like the pudding gave Ethan the answer.
He placed the pudding back on the table, grabbed his pen, and started answering and solving like a genius.
"Yes!" he exclaimed as he got the answer, and now he's ready to answer another one.
Each pair of partners gets to solve five problems, with each pair having different sets.
Ethan can still remember the day after the pairing was announced. Troye stood up from his seat and told the profes

"Why are you spacing out?"Ethan looked at Chrystyn, and he just shook his head."You have been like that for weeks now. Are you worried about the result of your exams?" Chrystyn asked."Yeah. Maybe. Maybe not," Ethan said, and he sighed.It has been weeks since the party has ended, and sincethathappened. Ethan did not talk about it to Chrystyn.He's been so confused about himself. But he's madder that he let that happen. He always gets teary-eyed remembering that. He can feel the enjoyment, the fun, and along with it are big chunks of disgust."I just want to transfer to another university," Ethan said as he sulked again on the table. Mellow is with them. She looked at Ethan, then she looked at Chrystyn, and she just shrugged.Mellow asked, "Well, can you just tell us the root of your problem, and let us assume?""This university. Troye. And everything," Etha

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 mightbe gay.Yes, it is stillmight 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

As Ethan headed to his class, he saw Chrystyn and Mellow in their separate seats.Chrystyn looked at him and then back again to where her phone was.Ethan decided not to sit beside any of them. Not for now. He chose to sit right in the back, on the last row. He placed his bag, pulled out his phone, and checked his social media.It has been so quiet with no one to talk to. It is like he is back to being the loner on his first day.He noticed that a group of guys was entering the room. It was Troye's friends.But where's Troye? The chair next to him moved. It was Troye."Have you made up your mind?" Troye asked."No.""Ethan, please," Troye said. Troye's talking like he's whispering. Like he does not want anyone to know that he's talking with Ethan."Look, it even feels like you don't want to talk to me. And here you are, begging for me to tutor you," Ethan said.

The first day of the tutoring session starts.Ethan has prepared every material that he has for this session. There's nothing that benefits him in this tutor session, but he did it for the sake of Neil and for the sake of knowing the truth sooner.It is Saturday, and they'll be meeting today. 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. Then he thought of his Instagram. He immediately opened his account, and there he messaged Troye.I am here at the gate. Where are you?Minutes passed, but still nothing. Is this a prank? It

It was Sunday morning.Ethan decided to turn off his alarm and turn off his phone. He has been waking up every day at 6 AM, and for this time, he just wanted to let himself succumbed to his bed.The sun rays are already reflecting in his living room. At this time, he should be waking up, preparing breakfast, working out, and taking a bath. It is always the same routine that he was used to.He heard a knock on his door. It's a loud knock.He's still not ready to wake up yet. And now, he's sitting on his bed, stretching his arms. He yawned.I have such a bad breath.The knocking still does not stop. He heard the knob turning, left and right."Wait up!"Ethan opened the door, and there he saw Chrystyn standing."Oh, thank God!" Chrystyn said as she hugged Ethan."What happened?" asked Ethan."I have read about this where people who tend to have no contro

Ethan poured out the box of cereal into his bowl.It has been weeks since he's tutoring Troye. They haven't seen Mellow right after the fight happened. There's no presence of Mellow in the university. 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. It's like being close together, but no one should know.He shook his head at that thought.Ethan took the last bite of his cereal a

Chrystyn and Ethan met upright in the café. They'll be having a makeup class because exams are coming soon, and there's not much time left for other topics to be discussed.It's a cold day. 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

Ethan's thought is clouded. It's full of negativity. He does not know where to start. Is there even anything to start? It's like his mind doesn't know what's to comprehend in this situation. Right now, there's an external conflict going on, but at the same time, he wants to make peace with Mellow.To just let it all go and go back from the beginning.Ethan reached for his phone on the bedside table. 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. Poor woman.I hope he gets caught or gets suspended.Can't he be kicked out? Ethan sighed as he read the remarks of the people on his feed. They know about the issue, but they don't remember his name nor face.There's still a chance I can fix th

Ethan picked up the toys that were scattered on the floor. He put those toys one by one onto the treasure box. As he picked up the last toy, he stumbled upon the Christmas gift, and he placed it back again where it should be. He stood up straight, touching the Christmas tree with his hands. It's that time of the year again, and every time this holiday comes, sadness seeps in. The nostalgic feeling always comes back because this is the time where he and Chad end things.And here he is after seven years have passed, still carrying the feeling that happened on that day. He still remembered it clearly up to this day, letting himself take a trip down memory lane."…maybe we can even marry each other!" Rebecca said as Ethan remembered clearly. That's when he realized that when things go smoothly and perfectly, something will always ruin that moment.When he looked at Chad at that time, he just smiled, like it was nothing. Like they were just friends and roommat

Time seems to fly fast. A year has passed after they were both kicked out of the university. When the people living in the apartment, Pearl Haven, heard the news about Chad being the professor and the manager of the apartment, some of them didn't mind, and some moved out. The news spread fast in the city to the point that they must lower the unit prices to attract more people. Although they moved already past that, and now they are making more income than ever when people saw how much they had changed their apartment, and there's no issue with Chad being the manager.They matured more, particularly Ethan, who has learned how to save financially. He's also trying to get new ideas to improve more of the apartment. It looked so expensive, but the price was just affordable, and that's what they are after because they knew that's what people want. He didn't get to finish what he came here in the first place, but he's thankful for Chad and Yohan for helping and staying by his side.

He opened the door to the unit. Chad greeted him with a smile only to see him deep in thoughts. Chad greeted him and said, "How was it?""It was bad," he said as he walked towards the living room and let himself fall on the couch, "It was very bad, Chad."Chad walked up to him and caressed his face. He is getting tear-eyed at this moment because when everything is getting too perfect, something and someone will always come to ruin that. He wanted someone to blame but couldn't bring himself to blame others but himself for being so vulnerable and easily deceived."Don't you think we should stop it now?" asked Ethan; a tear fell from his eye. He saw Chad stunned hearing what he said. "Dianna took pictures of us, and Mellow, you know her, she took that camera and run away with it, and maybe now she's already uploading it. It doesn't matter for me now because my parents aren't here anymore and that I have my apartment, I can live with that. How about you? You are a p

Ethan woke up holding his head and groaned and massaging his temple. He had a blurry memory of what happened yesterday. Chad’s usually on the bed next to him when he wakes up in the morning, but he wasn’t there this time. He heard someone inside the bathroom, showering. It must be Chad.He put his other hand on the bed for support as he continued massaging his head. He wondered how in the hell does he went home. He knows it’s Chad that took him home, but how did he do it without anyone noticing?He felt a cold breeze. He wrapped his arms around his body and looked at it, and he realized that he didn’t wear anything. He looked under the sheets and noticed that he wasn’t wearing any underwear either.What happened had sunk in as his hands gripped tighter, remembering what happened yesterday.As they finished making out yesterday, they went out of the room after the person next to the cubicle had left the bathroom. They made sur

"That was hard," said Chrystyn as she put her pen back in her pencil case and then zipped it. "I guess it was easy for you, huh, because Chad's tutoring you?"Ethan rolled his eyes. "Of course not. It doesn't mean we are living together means he's teaching me. We are just a normal couple."Ethan and Chrystyn have reconnected their friendship when they meet again for their next class. They talked a lot about things during the weeks they have missed to converse. They also stroll around the town before classes. Chrystyn's also just planning to stay over at Ethan's unit.Chrystyn shrugged. "Just kidding. You're too smart!"She grabbed Ethan by the arm and whispered, "You think I wouldn't notice how both of you were looking at one another earlier?"Ethan blushed. Chad was their proctor for their last exam, and they have been teasing one another with their stares. He remembered biting his lips and spinning his pen with his fingers while staring at Chad.

"In my place," said Ethan as he buckled up. The class has just ended, and as Chad told him, he is taking him home when it's his class schedule.Chad sighed. "I'm still thinking about it because first, Yohan is there. His room is just meters away from yours. Not that I don't trust him, but wouldn't that be awkward that I am dating the boss, and he's working with me?"Ethan shook his head. "When we choose your place too, that means I'll leave Yohan behind. Yohan isn't just a person I can leave because he stood by me when my parents cut off connections. He took care of me, and he's a family. That unit, that's the only place I can call mine, my possession."Chad gripped the steering wheel. He hasn't turned on the engine yet because right now, they have to decide. They have already been arguing over this for weeks now, and the exam is already coming. So Ethan wanted to decide with no arguments involved because this conversation was taking a toll on him. He doesn't kn

Their lips met one another. Chad bit his lower lips, making him groan. He put his hands on Chad’s nape and pulled him closer to his lips. It seems like it has already been a long time since they have kissed and touched each other, and this feeling just fills their hunger.Ethan felt Chad’s hands roaming from the top of his chest down to his waist and squeezing it. On the other hand, from Chad’s nape, he touched his chest and pushed him to the corner. Chad turned their position around, with Ethan now leaning on the corner of the pavilion.He felt Chad’s tongue entering his mouth and sucking his tongue. He groaned, and he did the same thing to Chad, causing Chad to be more aggressive. He grinned.Ethan pulled back and licked his lips. “I like you a lot.”“I like you a lot, too. And I am going crazy with what we’re doing right now,” said Chad as he leaned closer again to kiss Ethan.After a long mi

Ethan pushed the rack of clothes and pulled out the navy-blue dress. "I think this dress suits you, Chrys."Chrystyn looked at it and sighed. "Hmm, I don't know. The color seems dull, though."He put it back on the rack and pulled out another one. He poked Chrystyn and pointed out the red dress with a high slit. "How about this?""This is gorgeous!" said Chrystyn as she grabbed the dress from Ethan and placed the dress in front of her body as she looked in the mirror. "I think I like this."Ethan has paid for the dress. Sure, Yohan said he could spend money on his attire, but he realized that he'd just go with the black suit he has on his home. Now, he's treating Chrystyn to the dress that she liked. He can see that it suits her too. All they know is to purchase a mask.They entered another shop just two blocks away from where they were. Ethan admits that he's been looking forward to this occasion, particularly that Chad asked him out. He also like

Ethan still has not yet gotten used to working in his office. And he was working with Chad. It has been days when he started working, and that also means there are only a few days until the acquaintance party takes place.Chad's classes are on Wednesdays and Fridays. And right now, he's looking at his schedule."Wednesday," he said as he looked at Chad, busy working on the paperwork. Chad did not enter his office after that day. He's just looking at him from behind. Sometimes, he goes to his mini living room and watches television. When it's already afternoon, Yohan goes to his office, and they'll go together to the parking lot so Yohan can drop him off at the university.He's really trying to get used to that routine. Even though sometimes he feels useless because he just sits in his office and waits for the afternoon to come.He propped his elbow to the table and just looked at Chad, who had been busy working. He wonders if he's just the same as the oth
