Yuri Sanchez, 18 years old. I'm from Sanchez University. Yes! Sanchez University, my mom owns that school. You think I like it? No way! I hate that school, that's why I got a boyfriend. You know, so I can escape. But... Something weird is going on with Dylan... He's been... Overprotective... Like... Hindi namin to pinag usapan and... Whenever I talk to my ex, Anika, He doesn't talk to me–like at all. I'm pissed and confused... Bakit kaya sha ganto? Did I do something wrong? Hayst....
"Oi! Yuri! Nasan daw si Dylan... Hanap ni Ms. Erika"
This is my friend, Archer. And "Ms. Erika" is my mother.
"I don't know man. Baka may class pa si Dylan"
"Impossible. Hindi nga daw sha pumasok sa class nya..."
"Sabi nino? "
"Kian. He's been absent for months dude, why don't you check up on him? You have his extra key diba?"
"I have basketball practice man... But... Sure, I'll check on him bago umuwi"
"Yuri! "
And that? That's Gelo, my other friend. He's gay, and he also knows that I'm fake dating Dylan. He's the only one who knows in our whole friend group.
"Sup? San daw practice mamaya?"
"Cancelled. Hindi sinabi ni coach bakit ehh..."
"Weh? We have finals diba..."
"Absent si Dylan... Wala din si Niel... Nasan ba si Dylan?"
"Everyone's been asking me this since this morning... I don't know his every move bro"
"You should, maybe he's cheating on you"
"F^ck off Archer, I doubt he will"
"Sure ka?"
Seriously... This guy always gets me to rethink every single f^cking thing! Ughh Gelo! Kasalanan moto!
"I'll call him to prove"
"A'ight. Go ahead."
It took about five minutes when Dylan finally answer
"Hey bae, Nasan ka? You've been absent for a couple days na daw..."
"Condo. Don't come over, Bye"
After that, Dylan ended the call without his usual "I love you" or some sweet shit.
"Hm? Busy daw sha"
"Busy? Sa condo? Ano ginagawa nun? Nag-"
"Oist. Shut up. Anyways, Alis na'ko guys, my boy's calling me"
"Hayst... Good luck bro... Galit ata yan sayo..."
"Y'all just gonna leave me?"
"Archer has his girl, I have my boy. And my baby is sick. I need to go na Yuri... Update ka nalang kung ano nangyari!"
"Cher! Wait! Bye Yuri!"
"Fuck those dudes... Agh! This dude... We agreed on fake dating and now he's cold? For what? Tsk! Bahala na!"
I got on my bike. My mind racing with thoughts. What if totoo yung sinasabi ni Archer? Na may ibang babae si Dylan? Pero... Why do I care so much? We're just fake dating naman! Snap out of it Yuri! You like girls. Bahala na... If may makita akong babae sa kama nya, so what? I don't have that kind of feelings for him... Argh! Yuri snap out of it!
Few minutes of debating to himself about going to Dylan's condo, Yuri opened the door. No one was there. Yuri took time to walk around and call for Dylan, when he opened Dylan's room the scent made him cover his nose...
"Fuck Dyl! What the hell? 'Di kaba naliligo? What the hell..."
"Get out!" >Dylan threw a book towards Yuri
"Yo... What's on your arm?"
"Nothing! Go away Yuri!"
"Fuck no! Practice was cancelled because of you... What the hell is wrong?"
"Get out!"
"Dyl, just tell me."
Dylan threw up blood... And Yuri just realized that the blood on the floor made the stench
"Hoy Dylan! Are you trying to die? Baliw kaba?!"
"I said get the hell out!"
Dylan tried to stand up but... He fell and hit his head. The blood on the floor covering his whole body. Yuri called an ambulance after that.
