3 Adrian

Its been almost a week since the first day of school and since then, Arielle has not been seen around. But then, no one noticed that because he is a transferee and he doesn't have a friends yet.

"Hey, Ms. Loi called me and ask about Arielle. And I just realized, I haven't seen him since the first day." Diether said.

"Hey you're right. I haven't seen him since that day." Edrien added. They're on the living room while Alain and Bernard were upstairs, and KC on the shop.

"Ms. Loi just told me to tell Arielle to report to school. The school year has just started and it will affect to his scholarship."

"Scholar? He's the new scholar our classmates were talking about?"

"That surprises me. There are only few scholars in our school. And only those exceptional ones were chosen from many applicants. That means Arielle is good at acads."

"Yes you're right. But have you inform him about what Ms. Loi told you?"

"How can I? I don't have his number. I don't know where he lives. And he's not going to school since first day."

"Try to ask for Alain's help. He's the son of the director, remember?" out of nowhere comes Bernard. He's holding a cup of coffee. Diether instantly smile after hearing Bernard's suggestion. He ran upstairs and go to Alain's room.

Diether knocked on the door.

"Hey bro, are you still awake?" Diether said while waiting outside. Alain doesn't want someone to enter his room without his permission.

The door opens and Alain show a disgusted face.

"Why?"

"We need your help. We need Arielle's con- - "

"I don't care about anything related to that fag. Now leave." Alain said before closing the door.

Diether disappointedly went back downstairs, but he still texted Alain about his concern, hoping that he would still consider helping them.

"Let me guess, he does not want to get involved about anything from Arielle?

"Well what did you expect?"

"So what are we going to do now? Wait until he gets back to school?"

"It seems like that. But I just noticed, you are causing that person too much trouble. Whoever Arielle is." Bernard has a point.

"You're right. But he's different from the gays I know, and even bisexuals." Diether said.

"You mean you like him?" Bernard's eyes widened.

"Hell no!" Diether stopped a little. "It's just that, you have things to marvel at and like him."

"Like what?"

"He and Alain met on the first day. Wait let me rephrase, he had a fight with Allan on the first day." Edrien said. No one does that to Alain because he is the son of the director. Maybe Arielle doesn't know about it yet.

"Hahahaha! Is that rue? His courage then! In that case, he's kinda interesting." Bernard said almost crying because of laughing out loud.

"That's how I reacted when I found out."

"I feel like I want to meet that Arielle too. Well, aside from that scene, what else?"

"Ummm .. Wh- - -" Edrien stopped speaking when someone dropped a folder in front of us.

Then he left suddenly and returned to his room.

Edrien and Diether smiled at each other. They seem to think the same thing.

"Here's another reason why. Only Arielle made Alain do this for us hahahaha!" Edrien laughed .

"Seriously bro! For a long time we were together, Allan never obeyed our orders. No matter what we say to him, he does not obey. What miracle is that? Hahaha!" Bernard said in amazement.

"Maybe he's sick?" Diether groaned as if he's feeling something.

"And he even bothered to print?" Edrien said while holding the folder. He opened it and read.

"Name, Arielle Vergara Aquino. Age, 20. Birthday, August 31. Hey, his birthday is coming soon hahaha" they laughed a little.

"Don't comment. Go ahead." Diether replied. He suddenly became interested.

"Haha okay. Father, Alexander Aquino, deceased. Mother, Angelou Aquino, deceased." Edriens tone while reading have changed, became slower. They did not know that Arielle no longer had parents.

"I don't think we should read that anymore." Adriane said seriously.

"I think so too." Diether took Arielle's number and email for the meantime.

"Here. Give it back to Allan. Tell him to hide it." Diether said seriously. The three of them changed their mood.

"Ha? Why me? It should've been you since you were the on who ask these from him!" Edrien refused.

"You're the bestfriend, aren't you?"

"I told you so." he immediately followed and went to Alain's room. All Diether had to do was call Arielle.

"Kuya, let's go home." Since yesterday, Arielle's brother teased him to go home. He has been in the hospital for four days and Arielle, on the other hand, have not been to school for almost a week days.

"It's not possible yet. Didn't Doc said you still need to get well?" he was forcing Arirlle to go home. How can he let him go home right now? Fear leads Arielle, afraid that what happened on Monday will happen again.

He was in the coffee shop working. His co-worker called him, said that his cellphone was ringing earlier. His neighbor called him and found out that Adrian had fainted again. He instantly took his stuffs and said goodbye to his boss, and rush to the hospital.

"I don't want to be here anymore Kuya. The nurse who checked me is scary." Arielle just laughed at his brother's reason.

"Don't be naughty. You can't."

"But, if I stay here long, you will have to pay the hospital bill. Do you have any money for the payment?" Arielle suddenly thought. He was right.

Well Arielle saved some money. Their payment for the rent of the house, and his payment for some school fees.

"Hmmm .. Yes?" unsure about his answer. His brother just laughed.

"See? Now let's go."

"You will not be allowed."

"Last Saturday, Kuya, the fat witch came to us, looking for you." he is referring to the owner of their rent. They have not paid two three months. Well, the money payment is going to be paid to the hospital.

"I'll just talk to her. The important thing is, you get well." He even tried to smile in front of him despite the problems that destiny was throwing at them. As long as they are together, they can handle everything.
