YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE

"Wake up, Shin!" said Saint shaking him, "we need to leave or else we will be left by the bus!"

Shin raised his head and looked at Saint disappointed, "Why are you shouting?". "Get up!"

"Saint! Shin! Get down here breakfast is ready, "said Shin's mom from the kitchen. Shin went and prepared himself and came down and found Saint and his mom eating breakfast.

"Have a seat, I have something I need to tell you!" said his mom pointing to a seat. "This is another fresh year in university, and you need to take care of each other especially you Shin. You need to take care of Saint."

"Alright mum! I know mum needs me in his life. I will make sure to take care of him," said Shin looking at Saint in a notorious way. Saint only looked at them amusingly.

"Thank you for the breakfast, auntie. We need to leave now we are already late," said Saint standing from his seat," LET'S GO!"

"Bye mum!" "Bye son!"

They left home and went to the bus stop. "If you need anything make sure to inform just like mum said," said Shin. They got on a bus and headed to school.

Saint was an introvert hence did not have many friends like Shin who was known all over the school. Saint only talked to Chadjen , his desk mate and a few of Shin's friends. As they entered class, Shin went to his friends in the corner while Saint sat at the front with Chadjen.

"Hi there, Saint!" "Hi, Chadjen"

"It's nice to see you with Shin all happy, I'm 100% sure he won't ever disappoint you!"

"We'll see about that!" said Saint looking at Shin from afar.

Shin was with his friends: Aj, Jj and Ken.

"Since you know nothing, guess what we are doing today?" said Aj raising his eyebrows.

"What? Are we going to the club? ........Tell me!"

"We are doing an exam!"

"What?" said Shin surprised," I haven't read for anything. But you know what we always do, right? Don't let me down."

"You know we can't," said Ken.

When the papers came, each of the sat at their own seats. As time passed Jj had already finished answering and passed his paper to Ken, Aj and Shin. Saint and Chadjen finished their papers and submitted them and went outside. Chadjen and Saint sat at a place where they could see Saint and his friends.

"Are they cheating?" asked Chadjen.

"Mmhmm! Are you not used to that by now?"

Saint and his friends finished the exam and headed straight to the cafeteria. Shin showed his friends a picture of his girlfriend he had saved on his phone. "You stole her from me, you piece of ...." said Ken while the others just laughed.

Saint and Shin headed home after school. It was their usual routine every day after school since they were young.

"How was your day?" asked Shin. "It was okay. I just can't wait to reach home!"

When they reached home Shin asked Saint went and freshened up. They usually took turns to sleep in each other's room. Saint's brother and sister had just come home. they were rarely around.

"I need to go see my brother and sister I will be right back."

"Tell them I said hi!"

"Okay" said Shin as he left. Their houses were just close to each other.

As time passed Saint came back and found Shin using his phone. "What are you watching?''

"I am just playing a game." Saint tucked himself in bed since he usually slept y 10:00PM.

"You can sleep; I'll catch up with you later!" said Shin.

The following morning Saint woke up and left Shin. Shin woke up and asked his mother where Saint went.

"He already left. He tried to wake you, but you are just a nutcase.

"How could he?" said Shin taking his breakfast and heading out.
