Tony and Mark were both childhood friends, they grew up together in the same neighborhood, they attended the same school since they were a child. Their parents were both families friends, and the fact that Tony and Mark are born at the same year and the same month. They did everything together, Tony had slept off in Mark's house countless times and Mark had done the same. They were both close that everyone gets jealous of their friendship. When in school, they were both partners in everything.

When they both applied for their choice of university, Tony gained admission into the university, but Mark couldn't get admitted, Tony chooses Electrical Engineering while Mark chooses Microbiology. He didn't want to leave Mark alone and go to school but his friend wouldn't allow him to do such. He wouldn't forfeit his admission for his sake. Mark promises to do better the next year so he could meet him in school.

After so much persuasion, Tony finally agrees to go to school ahead of Mark, they both wept because this is the first time they will be separated, it was hard for both of them to separate but they both summoned courage with the hope of seeing each other very soon. Throughout the first month in school, Tony was sad because he missed his dear friend Mark, he finds it hard to make friends with others because nobody could be as the same as his friend.

It's finally the Mid-semester break, the two friends were both happy to be together again, there is already a lot to talk about, what they have both experienced alone for the past two months. They slept late that night, they were busy laughing and chatting that they didn't realize it's already late. The bond between these two friends seems unbreakable, even though they fought alot, they disagreed and argue, yet they were both reasonable to settle things between themselves.

When Tony returns back to school they both happily departed unlike the first departure which was uncomfortable. Even though Tony had made new friends in school, he still holds his dear friend close to his heart. Mark remains his one and only best friend. There comes a time where Tony hadly have time to talk to Mark on phone, his first year in school was so busy with rigorous activities and busy schedules, Mark, who was still at home thought his friend had abandoned him, he have heard many rumours about school life, how many students chase the irrelevant and loses focus. He feared this has happened to his friend. He thought Tony had found a new friend and forgotten about him.

At the end of the semester, Tony came back home and meets Mark unhappy he was upset with the way Tony reacts anytime he calls him in school. Tony takes time to explain to him that he had been very busy in school that's why they were only able to talk for few moments.

With different challenges and experiences, Tony and Mark's became stronger, they were finally able to understand each other perfectly. They never doubted each other. Even after Mark couldn't gain admission into the same university Tony was, they still remain very close.
