~~Chapter 3~~

Lacy had crocodile tears. Raymond was looking at her but a bang! attracted his gaze. It was George," Lacy it was clearly not an accident. How can you......" Steven grabbed George's hand and gave him a gesture to calm down. Raymond's eyes were fixated on Steven who stood up,"Raymond I have to clean my clothes can you wait here for me a while." George who was nearly about to explode spat still eyeing Lacy,"Let me come with you." Steven just nodded.

Raymond, "Should I come with you? Will you be alright?" Steven was about to speak when lacy interrupted him by crying loudly,"Steven, so....sorry. My mistake. I didn't..... do it on......purpose." Steven looked at Raymond,"I'll be fine. Be right back." Before Raymond could speak Steven was out of his sight.

In the washroom Steven tried to wash his clothes which was completely stained with juice. George finally exploded, "Ahh!! That bloody Bi***. How could she do that? What does she think she is? A Queen? She is just a piece of garbage." Steven washed his hand and looked at his angry friend," It's alright."

George looking at Steven's pitiful state," What do you mean alright? Just look at you! Ahh! I'm getting annoyed. Should I just kill her." Steven gave his angry friend a pat on the shoulder. George looked at Steven pitifully," Anyway your clothes are wet. You can borrow my T-shirt."

"Thank-you" Steven said with a gentle voice which melted George's anger.

George gave steven his T shirt and they both went to canteen again. As soon as they entered the canteen Steven felt a stabbing pain in his heart. He saw Raymond and Lacy hugging each other. George also went all quiet. Both Steven and George approached them. Raymond after seeing Steven coming released Lacy and was staring at Steven,"Um.... Steven are you all right?"

Steven just nodded. Lacy feeling interrupted from their moment clenched her teeth," Ray Today we have to submit our assignment." Raymond," Yeah right! I totally forgot about it."

George," I seriously hate assignments. I thought I won't have to do assignment after Highschool but here they give us tons of assignment." Candice who is always by Lacy's side and is always quiet said," Then Drop out."

George decided to ignore her comments.

"Raymond I think we should go. We have class now." Steven spoke up. Raymond stood up and picked his stuff, "Yeah let's go."

They went to their class and attended the lecture. They it was late in the evening. They had to stay whole day in the university because of assignments. Steven after bidding farewell to George who was very worried about his wounds and was not wanting to let go of Steven until the latter promised to call him when he is home and if there is any problems went home together with Raymond.

They arrived at their house. As they entered into the house steven fell onto the ground unconscious. Raymond was shocked. He patted Steven's face,"Hey steven are you okay? Steven answer me...... please......" Raymond was crying but then he realised he should take Steven to his room.

Steven was now laying down on Raymond's bed who was crying and panicking,"I should call the doctor" Steven woke up from Raymond's crying,"Raymond don't call the doctor. I will be fine after a bit of rest." Raymond felt a bit relieved from hearing Steven's voice. Raymond,"Let me call the doctor. You will be alright soon." Steven grabbed Raymond's hand with all his might left in him and gave him a pleading eyes,"No don't call the doctor" Raymond just agreed to Steven,"Okay, I won't the doctor. You take rest here." By the time he was speaking Steven has already fallen asleep.

Raymond remember how his mother used to take care of him when he used to run fever.

He started putting wet cloth on Steven's forehead. He made sure to keep him warm.

But Steven was still shivering from cold with all the blankets over him and Raymond didn't know how to keep him warm so he climbed onto the bed with Steven and hugged him. Making sure that he does not hurt Steven's wound.

The morning came. The boys were hugging each other. And Steven's fever has went down due to Raymond keeping him warm.

The sun rays falling on Steven face made his eyes twitch,"Ummm.... " Steven sat up was still was half asleep until he saw Raymond by his side. He thought out loud," Why is Raymond here?" This woke Raymond up too," This is my room, Why won't I be here?".

Steven scrutinized the room and it was actually Raymond's room. After thinking for a while Steven recalled what happened yesterday and said two words with a genuine heart,"Thank you." Raymond just gave him a assuring smile implying that it is no big deal.

They both got ready to go to their University. Steven had a small smile on his face which is really a rare sight while Raymond was smiling ear to ear. They both were happy but the reason to their happiness was not clear to them. They just wanted to savour this moment.
