Undying Fidelity (BL)

Chapter 21

July 16, 2023

After Zeke and I made up, we hung out almost every day. We're all either at the mall, at school, at a cafe, or even in our apartment. I also remember Kean's shocked face vividly in my mind.

He was like, "To be honest, I know that something happened between you and Russelle. You even got annoyed at me because I kept asking about him, right? That's why I didn't bring it up anymore after that. Nonetheless, I am happy that you two made up," Kean said, smiling.

It's Sunday today, and since we don't have any classes, we decided to go out with Zeke, Enzo, Leo, some other girls that they brought, and, of course, Tanya.

Enzo said that he'd take care of our trip. We just need to tag along with them. My friends agreed because they also want to make the most of these opportunities while I am contemplating, and I don't want to waste their money on me.

We used Enzo's car because it was big. The girl that Enzo brought is sitting beside him in the passenger seat. In the back, Leo and his girl are also side by side. If I'm not mistaken, those two are our schoolmates. Zeke and Tanya are also next to each other, and behind them are the four of us.

So, first, we went to an Italian restaurant, and I was shocked when I looked at the menu because it's so fucking expensive.

"What the fuck?" I said weakly to myself.

"What is it?" Kean asks me.

I'm sitting in between Kean and Cal. Kean is on my right side, while Cal is on the left. In front of me is Tanya, and beside her is Zeke.

"Eli, don't you think it's too expensive? We can't afford this," Kean whispered to me.

"Yeah, should we back out?" I ask.

"Guys, just order whatever you want," Enzo announced.

"Really?" Adie asks, smilingly.

"Yeah, it's on me," Enzo said, smirking.

Oh, my god! Is he for real? The dishes here are so effing expensive.

"I don't think I will come with them next time. This is so embarrassing," Kean muttered.

"Yeah, me too," I replied.

To be honest, I don't really want to go with them today. It's just that I am feeling so guilty toward Enzo because I always refuse him whenever he asks me to come along with them or buy me something.

It's better to stay at home, in my opinion. It's less expensive, and we won't get tired from traveling. I know that when we go out, it will definitely cost something.

When the food was served to us, we also started eating. I couldn't help but look at my friends because they were all busy. Tanya and Zeke are eating sweetly. Enzo and Leo are with their girls, and Cal and Adie are also talking with each other. Kean and I are the only ones who are looking around them.

"This is so awkward," I whispered to him.

"What if we just go home?" he asks.

"Are you crazy? That will be more awkward," I replied.

"Take a look at Russelle and Tanya, then tell me what's more awkward," he said, and I couldn't help but let out a little laugh.

"What are you guys talking about? Let's hear it," Cal said, raisinh his eyebrow.

"Nothing. I'm sorry," I said, still chuckling.

After eating, we went to Antipolo. It's close to the Italian restaurant we ate at. We visited the spots there, such as the museum, churches, and others.
