Volume 1 Chapter 30 (2/2)
That's it!!! ?
I kick a few sands towards Ming and walk away like a mad person. I don't know why do I have to be here with him and let him give me this kind of s.h.i.+t.
I really hate it.
”P'Kit!” He calls my name but I don't give a h.e.l.l anymore. ”Come on P' I was just joking around...”
You do whatever you want to do. I'm not taking this s.h.i.+t anymore. Just leave me alone!
”Don't sulk like a girl...”
What the f.u.c.k?! ”What did you just say?” I'm about to punch him now.

”Err...r..r..” He may have turned speechless seeing me explode like that.
”Am I your playmate or something? How dare you mess with me like that? You're becoming more and more arrogant now, you p.r.i.c.k!”
”I...”
”Give it to me.” I pull the ice bags away from him. ”Waiting for these ice from you, then those guys will be waiting forever!”
”Where are you going?”
”Getting a drink. And don't you dare follow me!”
”I'm really sorry that I crossed the line...”
”I won't accept any apology from you!”
I'm so mad that I walk away without looking back, leaving Ai'Ming standing in front of the 7/11 store with the beach on the background. I don't care about this kid anymore.

I'm totally enraged even thinking about his stupid face.
”P'Kit. Please stop P'Forth from looking for Ai'Yo na khrub.” He yells behind me.
*******
Inside Forth's room...

”Where's Ming?” It's getting crowded at Forth's room because everyone's got invited. Beam is there too. He looks curious why I'm the only one who came back. ”He didn't pick up.”
”He'll be here.” P'Forth's friend added. ”Let's just drink.”
Beam and I are pretty familiar with these Engineering friends. We drink a lot together many times so this session runs normally and smoothly for us... The only unusual thing is me feeling uncomfortable because I'm still mad at that kid and It's even getting worse because the idiot hasn't showed up yet. And why do I keep on glancing at the door every time somebody walks into the room?
”What's wrong, Kit?” Beam asks. ”Seriously, did you kill him? Don't tell me you already killed someone even right before you graduate? Too bad, he's such a handsome kid...”
”I'll kill you first.” I start to drink.
”Now I'm curious... Talk to me.”
I'm not saying anything ... Until the culprit of my madness walks back in with one of Forth's friends coming back from Seven Eleven.
I couldn't look at his face right now. Ming looks like a lost puppy being abandoned by his owner.

”Where have you been? Were you in the room with Nong'Yo?” Forth keeps talking about our Nong restlessly.
He seems to like Yo a lot that his friends start teasing him. He doesn't seem bothered though until they finally gave up.
Ming shakes his head miserably as if his soul had left him.
”He's standing like a pole in front of Seven-Eleven.” Forth's friend says. ”I have to call him for so many times until he moves. I don't know what's going on with him. If I didn't pull him back here, he might be standing there all night.”
He looks at me while Forth's friend tells the story.
”What's the matter Nong? You're waiting for your soulmate or something?” Another engineering friend of theirs teases him nonchalantly.
He must be really crazy to take my words seriously.
I just told him to stop following me.
This drives me nuts.
”In here...” I call him to sit next to me. He follows my order and looks not as lively as he 'normally' use to be. ”Beam. Give me a gla.s.s.”
I mix a light drink for him. I don't want to give him a strong one because he has to get up early tomorrow to work.
”What the f.u.c.k were you thinking? You don't have to take my order seriously.” I shove the drink on his hand.
”I have to follow your order...”
”Shut up. How about when I didn't want to go with you, why did you keep on insisting back then?”
”You weren't mad at me that time...”
I'm still being mad at him yet he answers all of my questions conscientiously. Beam sitting beside him is the most confused guy at this moment.
”What the f.u.c.k is going on with you two?”
”It's nothing.”
”P'Kit is sulking.” Ming puts in.
Does he really need to pout like that?
”b.a.s.t.a.r.d.” I almost kick him right there.
”Seriously, Nong.” Beam asks Ming in an intense tone.
”... Khrub?”
”Do you like your friend or do you like my friend?”
Where the f.u.c.k did that stupid question came from?
Right before Ming's about to answer, Ai'Pha rings in so I have to leave the conversation to take his call.
”Now what?”
”What are you guys doing?” He asks me lightly.
”Why are you calling me now? Ain't you suppose to be sleeping with Nong'Yo?”
”f.u.c.k you.” Pha answers me gently. ”I can't sleep.”
”What's the matter?”
”I keep on staring at Yo's face. I couldn't sleep at all.”
Yeah... That's too much. I want to throw up now.
But I've never seen him being like this before. I can only smile...
”Can he sleep having you staring at him like that?
”For about two hours already. He must be very exhausted.”
”Don't do anything funny while he's sleeping. You have to do it when he's awake.”
”a.s.shole. Stop thinking dirty. You s.h.i.+t.”
”You started it.”
”I have to wait until he wants to do it.”
”Idiots!” Salute to this big d.i.c.khead. I can feel like there's a tall figure standing right behind me so I hang up ”Talk to you later. Try to get some sleep.”

It's Ming. Why am I still being so mad at him?
”P'... I'm really sorry.”
He knows that I'm still mad.
”Never mind.” I said. ”Why do you have to take me seriously?”
”Because I'm serious.”
He gives me the KitKat bars.
”Do you really like it this much?”
”I only eat it since High School.” He explained. I shake my head refusing the chocolate. ”It's really fine if you get fat. I remember you are a little bit bigger back in High School, ain't you?”
I have lost a few weight from studying so hard. But d.a.m.n it! He shouldn't be remembering me at that time.
”I don't know how to get your phone number. I never dare to ask it from you.” He just pop it up all of a sudden. I don't know what to think, so I turn my face right away.
”If I ask it directly from you, will you give it to me?”
”Why would I? We have no business to talk with over the phone.”
”See... That's why I have to do something like that.”
”And you think you are being so cool following my order standing like a piece of wood on that place?”
”I don't think it's cool... But...”
”...”
”If I don't do that, how can I make you realize that I'm taking your word seriously?”
I never get him. Not ever will.
”...”
”For this year's Campus Moon compet.i.tion, who are you cheering for?” He keeps munching on his KitKat and talks to me at the same time.
”The Med School of course. And oh! Yo's too.” He's a good boy, of course I'm voting for him.
”Why don't you vote for the Engineering Faculty?” He complains.
”No way.”
”Please... Please... vote for me.” There he goes again... Pleading like a kid.
”Don't force me to...”
”If you vote for me, I'll be the Campus Moon for you.”
”Do you think I would want it?”
”I don't know... Maybe you want to look cool like Ai'Yo, my friend.”
Yo... His friend... I don't think he's cool. He's more like 'cute'.
”Cool? How would it make me cool then?”
Suddenly, Ming comes and whispers at my ear real fast. I don't even know that he's standing next to me that close.

”... Dating with the Campus Moon.”
