Sa mundo na ito, lahat ata ng tao ay nangangailangan ng pag-ibig. Katulad ni Alex na matagal ng gusto si Clyde, ngunit hanggang saan nga ba ang kaya niyang gawin para sa taong mahal niya? Handa ba siyang isugal ang buhay niya?
Weeks have passed and it's almost the school's mid-year break. Sa weeks na yon lagi kaming kumakain ni Clyde secretly sa rooftop. Nakakahalata na din ang nga kaibigan namin dahil lagi kaming magkasama tuwing pababa sa rooftop. Kale asked once why magkasama kami ni Clyde but I told him na it was just a coincidence. I have to admit na sa bawat araw na magkasama kami ni Clyde, mas lalo akong nahuhulog sa kanya.
I don't want to hope na pwedeng maging kami pero, there's something about me that says na posibleng maging kami. I never lose hope kay Clyde, how I wish he knows how I want to spend my days, weeks and years with him. If he only knew how much I love him in every second, minute and hours. I didn't notice na I was gazing out na pala and kanina pa ako tinatawag ni Mr. Alvarez. Buti na lang tinapik ni Sergio ang braso ko at napansin na tinatawag ako.
"Mr. Salvador, you're gazing out na naman. Nakatulog ka ba nang maayos?" Tanong ni Mr. Alvarez.
"Y-yes sir," I lied. Hindi ako makatulog kagabi dahil baka biglang magkagulo ulit sa bahay nila Clyde at kailangan niya ako. I wanted to be with him. I want to give him an assurance na I meant what I promised to him at the rooftop, na I will protect him.
Mr. Alvarez continued lecturing for another hour. He is our English professor. Isa siya sa top professors ko this year, siya ang pangalawa kay Mr. Santiago.
The school bell rang at nag-ayos na ako ng gamit ko dahil uwian na when Mr. Alonzo, Luke's father, entered the room together with the school principal.
"Students, before you leave this classroom our board of director, Mr. Alonzo wants to share some good news with all of you. So please take your seat and listen carefully." Sabi ng principal. Umupo kaming lahat and started listening.
"Good afternoon everyone. I'll make a quick announcement lang para makauwi na din kayo. So first, we will have our mid-year school break. Ibig sabihin all the students and teachers will have a six weeks break since we know na stressful ang college life. Second, habang bakasyon niyo ay pwede pa rin kayo pumunta sa school garden dahil ngayon, Mr. Santillian announced that the garden is now open publicly and not just for SU students anymore. It is also the graveyard of Mr. Santillian's wife. That's all and thank you." Mr. Alonzo explained. After non, umalis na sila at iba pang students. Sabay kaming lahat lumabas ng school para kumain ng tusok-tusok. When I mentioned 'kaming lahat' it means na kasama sila Clyde, Luke at Agust doon. Clyde and I's friends became really close after those past few weeks. But of course, lumalayo si Clyde sa amin dahil laging nakabantay ang mga bodyguards ng tatay niya.
Pumasok na sila ng sasakyan after at umuwi na din kami. As usual, pumupunta muna ako sa palengke bago umuwi para tulungan sila mama. Pag-uwi ko ng bahay, chineck ko ang phone ko para i-message si Clyde.
