Chapter 9: He's no longer innocent!
That's insane" She didn't seem all that horrible to me, she appeared innocent",he said. "Obviously she would because she was flirting with you, but now that you've embarrassed her in front of others, you're about to witness the worst side of her".
"I was merely telling her the truth, I wasn't trying to embarrass her. Given her age, shouldn't she be concerned about books? "She's 21" "Damn, she's older than me. I assume she is a senior", said Teddy. "no she's in grade 11," he replied, starring at Teddy. "She's that old and in grade 11 but she's still worried about boys instead of books damn she's wild." He muttered. "Bro, I heard that there's a boy who recently quit school because of her. God knows what she did to him, but people say that at first she approached him in the same way she did to you, and he rejected her".
"That sounds so pathetic, can she stand that sick bro?". Brian exhaled deeply. "I just hope she won't treat you the same way," he said. Wait and see, I'm not afraid of her, and by the way, don't we have homework? Yesterday, my mind was so scattered that I didn't even consider phoning you to inquire". Brian answered, "No, we don't. Dude, what happened? Why didn't you show up to school yesterday? You were so eager to attend, you even woke me up to remind me to look for my uniform early".
He added, gazing down and resting his other hand on his forehead, "bro, my mom's in a coma." What, dude?What happened?", Brian asked, widening his eyes.
" She tumbled down the stairs and severely damaged her head. The worst thing is that the doctors did more tests on her and discovered she had stage 4 cancer". He exhaled deeply, and tears began to well up in his eyes. "Bro, I fear I may lose my mother".
Brian gently brushed Teddy's back and whispered, "Stop saying that my friend, please, your mother is going to be okay, she's a warrior.
After 30 minutes, Brian is able to calm Teddy down. "My friend, please don't ever be afraid to ask for my assistance. I'll do everything in my ability to help you at all times. You are and always will be my best friend. Even though your mother may be in the hospital right now, I'll do everything I can to support you until she is released. You're not alone in this matter alright".
"Since meeting you, I'm feeling a little better. thank you so much, bro. My heart was so heavy this morning." Teddy murmured, wiping away his tears, "in fact, it is true when they say that crying help." Brian guffawed. "Given how you constantly appear cool in front of me, I never thought the day would come when I would witness you cry. I have to admit, you surprised me. But buddy, did you know that crying makes you seem so ugly? As he was lightly striking Brian's head, Teddy laughed. "Do you want to die because I will immediately grant that wish to you now?"
"I'm joking okay, mr puffy face", he said as he was laughing
He looked at Brian with piercing eyes and pouted his lips as he added, "you're such a bad friend, do you know that, how can you laugh at me in situations like this.
Dude, why are you staring at me like that? I'm bashful. He raised his eyebrows and added, "By the way, you're not even my type.
"also you?" He asked Brian, "Do you believe you have a chance against me?" as he drew nearer
Help! He cried, "Help! I'm being harassed!" while looking around.
He covered Brian's mouth and said, "I forgot how crazy you can be, why are you doing this, okay fine you win I'm quiet now."
"However, it's nice to see you being yourself as usual. Please continue to think positively, at the end of the day, every difficulty in life has a solution, regardless of how serious your troubles may get in the future. Okay? ".
Teddy's jaw collapsed. "hello? Is this the same Brian I used to know? How are you able to say anything so intelligently" , he asked, holding his other palm over his mouth
"It's only that I met a crazy person like you, and that's why I too went crazy. I've always been intelligent and mature", he said, fixing his jacket.
Teddy sighed deeply and answered, "Okay." He got up from the chair and approached Brian from behind, trying to choke him. "Today you will meet your maker, and it is good because he will meet you being pure since you are still a virgin."
"ouch! You're hurting me, I'm sorry. Brian said as he made an effort to push Teddy.
"by the way who told you I was still a virgin? "
"Teddy asked in shock, his eyes widening, "what do you mean, did I miss a chapter or something?"
You didn't just miss a chapter, you missed an entire season. So much has happened during this break that I'm embarrassed to tell you about it, so I won't.
"Brian, I'm your best buddy, how can you be embarrassed in front of me, you can't do that to me",said as he gazed at him through teary eyes.
Brian guffawed. "Dude, are you about to cry right now?"
"yes!", Teddy shouted.
Brian guffawed. "I thought I was the only one who enjoys gossip, l never imagined the day when I would see you crying just because I withheld information from you."
"just tell me already I'll buy you your favorite chocolate", said Teddy.
Brian giggled. "you're even bribing".
The bell went off. The teacher followed the students as they entered the classroom.
Teacher: "Sit down, take out your math book, and turn to page 145. I'll be right back. The teacher said as she left the room.
Desks for Brian and Teddy were situated next to one another. In class, Teddy was seated behind Brian. Teddy turned around grinning broadly. "so, you will not let me rest until I tell you everything huh?", Brian said.
"What did I do because I remained silent," He glared angrily at Brian and said, "You're just being guilty for not informing your best friend such vital news.
" If eyes were killing", Brian sighed and touched his chest, adding, "I would be six feet underground right now."
(…). Teddy continued to stare at him without saying anything.
"okay fine! You win I'll tell you everything during break time"
"yes! ", Teddy shouted.
"But first, I want to tell you something, just promise me you won't yell",He said while grinning and casting a glance around.
He zipped his mouth and replied, "I won't".
Brian rose from his chair and muttered while moving his mouth closer to Teddy's ear. "I went to bed with a guy I met in the club."
Teddy said as he stood up from his desk,widening his eyes, "what?!.." Everyone turned their attention to them. I told you not to shout, so why are you doing it now? "I apologize, but you caught me off guard. The fact that you had a male partner for sex is not shocking to me. But dammit, my boy has matured, a one-night stand is crazy."
shh! Brian remarked, putting his index finger to his mouth, "Lower your voice. Do you want the rest of the students to know
Teddy guffawed. "Okay, I'm sorry, but I still want the entire story—damn, it needs to be break time already, I'm dying inside".
The instructor walked into the room. Teddy and Brian were still conversing when they noticed the teacher and stopped. "Did everyone open their textbook?" She questioned.
'"yes sir! ", students responded.
Now that the classes were ended, it was time for a break. Teddy put his books inside right away. He stood up in his chair, grabbed Brian's bag, and placed his books inside. "And then, what happened to you, you never did this,"
Teddy grabbed Brian's hand and whispered, "I can't wait any longer, come with me."
"Oh, I see. I should have remembered that I promised to tell you my story. Your phony concern almost led me to believe that you had changed", Brian said. "How could you say anything like that?", he asked. "For your information, I want to buy you lunch. You know that I care about you."
...
They both walked to the cafeteria. "my stingy friend wants to buy me a lunch wow that's new".
"The point is, I don't want you to become bored and whine about being hungry throughout your story telling, I want you to be energetic so that you can tell me from the beginning to the conclusion without living any single detail", Teddy said.
While they were walking, Brian stopped. "Bastard, you're now revealing your true colors, "oh go alone, I'm not hungry." He said as he turned back.
Teddy grabbed his hand. "don't be like that okay, I'll buy you three pieces of chicken". Brian grins, "okay then let's go". Teddy smirked. Speaking inaudible: (this bastard will never change. I can't believe that this old trick worked. That is why I love him he's just a simple innocent kid. Oh no I forgot that he's no longer innocent now). Teddy snickered. "why are you laughing", Brian asked.,staring at Teddy. "it's nothing let's go", said Teddy.
They both went to the cafeteria.
