Grade 12

Leo ... " a sudden sound echoed the school corridor . The young man turned back, hearing a familiar tone, It's John...his only dearest annoying best friend, since grade 4 .

(Leo is a tall, masculine young man with brunette hair which covers most his forehead and with big eyes. The pitch black mole on his neck always stands out. he's studying final year of his high school. Leo's mother died when he's 10, His father has raised him alone and has always been there, as a friend for him. He really feel lucky to have him. But that made him too spoiled, He is very impatient and stubborn when things are left undone.)

Leo sighed with disbelief about the loud noise that his friend made, he continued to wait for him at the same place.

( John, who is the same grade as Leo but class A, as John's subject credits were a little more than Leo's. John's is 6ft and has sleek black hair with porcelain skin. The compass tattoo behind his ear makes him more attractive. John is a very friendly person he cherish all his friends specially Leo. But he's way more possessive towards his close ones, which fears Leo the most.)

"Have you done with your lesson?" looks like you have one more class to attend. Did you miss it?" John asked as his friend walked out of class before the bell rang.

"The class has been cancelled jo, I'm so exhausted today, let's head to our dorm." Leo told as he flexed his muscles.

On reaching their dorm, Leo rushed to take hot shower to relax his body, he ate a light meal and after a few nights of not being able to sleep he could no longer stop himself so he turned in bed before 8.

~next day~

After a restful night's sleep, Leo asked, "This year went by quickly. In just two months we will be graduating soon . Did you decide your major?"

"This year's assignments, projects, and thesis were made simple to finish, I had already decided on the business administration chipmunk," John expressed his irritation with their final year of school.

"Attention class!" A grumpy voice made the whole class quiet.

"Ms. Lara is on a leave today, so the afternoon classes were cancelled. Thank you." The class monitor announced it and left the room.

As there were no further classes to both of them, John asked Leo to join him for the new game he has downloaded last week, and he can't wait to try it. Leo smiled making it as YES . he always enjoy playing games with his friend which is one his favourite thing of all the time.

When they were about to reach their dorm , They witnessed a person, stop in front of them, touching her knees, panting, and taking heavy breaths. It took her a few minutes to calm down. Both the boys were panicked but waited for her to settle. The girl gestured that she's ok, as john gave her his water bottle.

" what's the news that made you run like crazy from your school" ? Is everything alright ?" tell us, Nina. Leo asked as he felt anxious .

Nina told there's nothing to worry about and she's alright, the thing it's a big news, that she finally got shortlisted in the College Film Making Competition and she's finally participating. Both the boys felt really happy for her.

"Its not big news , it's GOOD NEWS sissy." Jo expressed his excitement.

"let have a party." Leo said.

( Nina is like an elder sister to both Leo and John. She is in her second year of post-graduation, majoring in film. Despite her shortness, she has sharp blue eyes, thin eyebrows, and fair skin. She loves filmmaking but she has failed to get selected to the Competition twice already. This is her last chance and she really wants to win for the scholarship to study in Italy.)

The trio hugged together circling and patting each other shoulder with joy and excitement. They are really happy and proud of their sister as she's finally doing what she really wants.

Flashback.........

grade 4:

" Is there anyone beside you? can I sit here?" Asked a friendly voice to the person in front of him

"Yea......yeah you can , no one there " answered the other.

" what's your name ? by the way ....I'm John, nice to meet you". The boy said in a cheery voice, trying to initiate chit chats with the newcomer.

"Leo" answered the other one.

"Do you want to have lunch with me?" John asked Leo.

He hesitated a bit but nodded YES.

John really made Leo comfortable around him so that the new school won't terrify his little buddy, he's as innocent as he looks , spreads smiles , best at drawings but worst at sports.

They both help each other during their study sections, homework, assignments etc. Their childhood was simple and sweet even though they were hard times they pulled them off together.
