15 Chapter 15

A long time have passed since Tony came, since that kiss incident, since everything happened. The boys are now in their last year of highschool. They all have became bestest friends. They had started hang out a lot together, deciding to forget all of their fights.

Ray has gotten taller and much more handsome, he is in steady relationship with Lacy who also has gotten more beautiful, they both are famous couple in the whole school. Even teachers know about their relationship.

Rome has gotten taller but still is not as tall as Ray, he definitely is more cuter not in a child like way but as a guy, he is famous between all the girls, however if any girl proposes to him, he would decline them, because his love for Ray has deepened. Rome still is a model student.

Tony has became charming, he still ties his hair in a ponytail, Tony receives love letters everyday but he too like Rome rejects them, he believes he will find his true love one day so he doesn't want to spend his time playing around, Tony as usual places 2nd rank and teachers adore him together with Rome, who has became like a brother to him.

==================================

Tony and Rome has visited Ray today to discuss about their beginning of third year in high school, also to just hang out like usual. They were all sitting on Ray's bed, Tony and Rome on the corner while Ray was half laying on the bed.

Ray leaned on the headboard slait of his bed, a sigh escaped his mouth,"Guys from tomorrow the last year of highschool begins, now only one year and I can finally get freedom from this hell hole called school!"

Rome chuckled, knowing how much Ray hates school, not that he like it, "Yes. I can't believe this is our last year." Tony agreed,"Me neither. the years went by so fast."

Ray abruptly sat up, his gaze filled with excitement,"So what are your plans after highschool?"

Rome hummed as he thought for a bit,"I am thinking of passing highschool with nice mark and get into a good university."

Tony said,"Yes I was thinking of the same thing. What about you Ray?"

Ray scractched his cheeks,"How can you think about studying all day long. Anyway I was not thinking the same thing." Rome let out a chuckle as he asked,"So what were you thinking?" Tony rolled his eyes as he teased,"Probably thinking how he would pass." Rome laughed, sharing a high-five with Tony,"Yeah right!"

Ray pouted, feigning hurt,"No need to be so mean. I would pass. I was just thinking about how I would spend time with Lacy, the dates I could go with her when we get into university. There would be no rules binding us atleast not much as school does."

Hearing this both Rome and Tony stoppped laughing, Rome was feeling dejected, he thought that he would get used to the relationship between Ray and Lacy, he thought he would give Ray up but he couldn't. As time went by, Rome found himself getting more attracted to Ray, so much that now he couldn't bear looking at Ray with Lacy, whenever they were in infront of him, he would force a smile or escape with Tony. He really wanted to end his feelings for Ray, because it pained his heart so much.

Tony saw Rome's hurt expression and decided to change the subject,"So Rome have you bought all the stationary needed?" Rome nodded, knowing that Tony did that to help him,"Yeah I did, what about you Ray?" Ray said,"Me too."

Rome leaned towards Tony and whispered,"Thanks!"

Tony whispered back,"Anytime!"

Ray saw the two whispering, his heart constricted, he always feels this tightening around his chest when he sees Rome and Tony together but he doesn't say anything because he doesn't want to make Rome upset. He asked,"What are you two whispering about? Huh? Don't you feel bad about ignoring your friend?"

Rome moved away from Tony and stuck his tongue out,"Nothing just telling Tony that you are an idiot." Ray furrowed his brows,"Now what did I do to be called an idiot?"

Tony said,"You are an idiot because-----" Tony couldn't complete his sentence because the door bell rang. Ray said,"Tony can you go and check who it is?"

Tony nodded and got off the bed and walked towards the door, he opened the door to see Lacy, his mood became sour yet he smiled,"Come in." Tony too hates Lacy, when he heard what Lacy has been doing to Rome for years he became furious, he wanted to go confront her but Rome stopped him. From that day Tony never liked the sight of Lacy. His desire to punch her face, never subsided.

Lacy and Tony went towards Ray's bedroom. Lacy said in a cheery voice,"Hey guys." Seeing Lacy, Ray got off the bed and embracced Lacy into a hug,"Hi darling, you know we were waiting for you."

Tony went to stand besides Rome and they both bluntly stated,"We were not." Ray didn't want to argue with his friends so he just rolled his eyes,"Ignore them baby~"

Seeing the couple infront of them and his hurting friend Tony said,"Ray I should get going, I have some work to do."

Rome also said,"Ray I am going with Tony, I have something left at his house. I will go pick it up."

Ray looked at the two and then sighed,"Okay. Bye guys!" After a second of pause he asked,"Rome when will you be back?" Rome replied,"I will be back by evening." Ray said,"Why? Tony doesn't live that far away, it should only take you a hour at most." Rome scratched the back of his neck,"I have something else to do so it will take time."

Ray nodded in understanding, Rome and Tony waved him goodbye and walked out of his house.

When Rome and Tony were out of the house, Tony asked,"So where should we go now?" Rome did some thinking,"I don't know. Maybe get something to eat." Tony nodded and they started walking towards a small cafe near their place. Coffee is the best way to cheer up your mood.
