The Bond

Bromance. The term used to define the very close non-homosexual relationship between two males. With this evolving world comes evolving words, terms and situations, and bromance is one of them. Is bromance really appropriate in depicting the actual friendship two males enjoy? Or it it merely a word aimed at covering up homosexuality?

Weekends is what everyone enjoys. Two days of well-deserved rest after a long hard week of toiling and working, or in other cases, studying. While weekends offer most a chance at recuperating, it gives others the opportunity to catch up on lost work. That was exactly what Hans Basil had in mind. And with the absence of his "bromantic" friend John Bow, the odds were pretty high that he'd achieve his target. Unfortunately for him, this target, like all previous ones before, came to bust. Hans had set his Saturday as his "resting" day, and that was really easy to achieve, the day spent with his beloved laptop. The same went for Nick, who remained cooped up in his room, distraced from studies. While the two were loners in the day, they decided to converge at night, conversing after a football match. And for the second time in a week, another secret was disclosed.

Sunday was a more productive day, with Nick and Hans having a short lunch before the latter proceeded to the college library to study with Sanya. Hans and Sanya alone? A recipe for disaster? Or a cliche plot in their getting-back-together story? Well, it was neither, as both managed to get some studying done without much problems. So, no revived sparks between the pair. But there was though, for Sanya that is, as she soon found out shortly after departing from college.
It seems as though Sanya Dival's car is just destined for obliteration, as the plethora of marks on her car can attest to that theory. While most of the marks arrived from small collisions, the one she experienced was far from it, with a head-to-side 'bond' with another car completely destroying her own's front portion. Luckily, no one was injured, though Sanya experienced minor aches and pains. And luckily too, a deal was struck between both drivers, eliminating any threat of hostile confrontations.

Hans, Nick and two others, Ean and Leroy, had some of their own bonding to do- a movie outing. While the four used this rare free time to slack and relax, Hans soon discovered he could not afford to as news of Sanya's accident reached his ears. Thankfully, he managed to calm her down, as well as himself. And this led to him being able to bond with the others without much worry. Thankfully, their bonding session did them good. Hopefully, it won't have negative repercussions...

The extended weekend, apparently, did no one good, in terms of work efficiency, as most resorted to slacking, resting and having private bonding sessions with their laptops. With Finals looming closer than ever, will they look back at this week as the turning point? What about those returning back from home, like Sue Anne and John Bow? Can they readjust in time for the exams? Or will the comforts of home threaten to derail their studies. Will Jay Dic be able to put behind the week's disappointment and focus on his Finals? Can Angie, who visited her cousin, manage to hold her own and not get distracted by external influences? And what about Sanya, who had the misfortune of experiencing an actual collision? Will this affect her harder than she envisioned? As always, time will tell...
