Wayo's POV.

Today marks the second day of the trip... This will also be our last day staying here with the other Moons and Stars of the compet.i.tion.

I should have woken up by now, but I still haven't. I'm sleeping like dead that I even forgot P'Pha is staying with me in the same room .

Wait... What time is it? Should I've been awaken yet? And why on earth Ai'Ming doesn't bother waking me up? Did he come back home last night? Or has he been drunken somewhere?

Well... Since my brain is thinking this much, I'd better open my eyes and get up already...

Rays of morning suns.h.i.+ne penetrates the room - that's what I noticed as soon as I open my eyes. I yawn, flip, rub my eyes, and suddenly found out that someone is staring at me... It's P'Pha sitting on the other side of the bed.

Whoa... Hes so handsome that his aura almost reflects the sunlight beams in the entire room. He still plays with his iPad, but it looks like he already took a shower and got dressed. I can smell him from here. He smells  awesome. His hair is half wet and half dry like I saw him last night. I don't know if I should be shocked or something else to wake up and see P'Pha first thing in the morning while I myself look so sleepy with my eyes covered with boogers...

Fuuuuck!

”You seem to enjoy sleeping a lot.” He says his morning greeting. The moment it sinks in, I step right away from him as fast as I can.

”What? I didn't do anything. I slept over there on the sofa last night.”

I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about how I look in front of him right now.

”Let me see.” He reaches his pretty hand to touch my forehead lightly. ”Your face is no longer pale. And you don't feel like having morning sickness from pregnancy anymore, right?”

”f.u.c.k you.” If I've been pregnant... It's gonna be yours.

But why do I have to be the one who's getting pregnant?

”Hurry up. Take a shower. They've already started getting make up and hair done.” He points to the dress in the wardrobe. They must have allocated such huge budget for this compet.i.tion alone since they provided enormous load of clothes for us to change.

”If you know they already started why didn't you wake me up?”

”I saw you slept peacefully, so I don't want to do that.”

Yeah... Right...

”You're unbelievable.” I pretend to be a little mad. ”Did Ming came back from last night?”

”Haven't seen him.”

I don't know if it's his plan not to come back to the room but it's morning already. He should be back soon.

”Look after yourself first. Are you gonna make it on time?”

”I know... I know...” I grab the towel and walk into the bathroom.

”Hurry up. I'll bring you breakfast.”

”Khrub... Khrub...”

It stunted me a little after shutting the bathroom's door.

Really? P'Pha is getting me breakfast? Is this even true? Is he giving me hope or Is this just part of his inherent personality? How can he look into others so well like this?

I bite my nail nervously since I'm starting to get scared my excitement is going for nothing. He might be getting breakfast for the girls next door or everyone else too, just what he did a week ago.

Yeah... I think I really am getting excited for nothing.

Well, it doesn't matter anyway... I'm still happy.

I took a shower half merrily, half hurriedly and walk out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around my waist.

Instead of seeing P'Pha, there's P'Forth and Ming too. All three of them sat side by side on the sofa gawking at me.

The first person who s.h.i.+fts his eyes somewhere else is Ai'Ming. The moment he sees me done with my shower, he walks near me with a towel in one hand and b.u.mps lightly on my shoulder. He stinks of alcohol but looking at his face, he seems to have gotten some sleep.

”If they rape you or they fight over you... Wait for me until I finish p.o.o.ping then I'll come out to help.” He whispers to me which I don't understand.

Both P'Pha and P'Forth still have their eyes glued on me which is kind of weird.

Why are you guys still looking at me?

”P'Forth, aren't you drunk?” I greeted him.

”Err...r...r... Um...m...m... No.” P'Forth's voice is a little shaky. ”Are you feeling better now?”

I nod. And as for P'Pha...

He throws the hanged clothes on me. ”Hurry up and get dressed.” He orders. ”Hey Forth. Let's go help the others outside.” He grabs P'Forth's neck and walks out of the room. P'Forth's still looking at me, but P'Pha keeps rus.h.i.+ng to push him out.

I wonder what's wrong with those two,  but my eyes right now are focused on the meal on the desk. It probably came from the hotel's room service.

It's the only dish there is so will it be safe for me to conclude that it's mine?

*******

At the hotel lounge...

”Ai Ming...” I call my friend... ”Hey, a.s.shole Ming...”

”Yes?” It took me a while to get his attention. Not only is he out of his daze but he's also shocked until he makes his makeup artist almost draw a line on his eyebrow to the temple. However, the makeup artist doesn't seem to mind at all.

”What are you f.u.c.king daydreaming about?” I'm all set, so I just have to wait for my friend get his makeup done. He seems like he's not himself today, but he seems to be quite in a good mood.

This only means something must have happened last night.

”Did you score a Star or something? I always ask him direct questions. It's just simple, I want to know whom he slept with last night.

”Score my a.s.s... I didn't do anything. I just went to drink with the P's...”

”Why didn't you come back to our room then?”

”How could I? I don't want to interrupt my friend spending time with his happiness.”

”Happiness my a.s.s...” Nothing happened. We just came back from Seven-Eleven to eat shrimp wonton soup and then P'Pha simply told me to go to bed.

But it's not that easy to go to sleep. It took me some time to get it with P'Pha sitting right next to me on the other side of the bed.

”Well, never mind that... I think you two are getting along quite well now... A lot better in fact.”

”Really?”

”He ordered breakfast for you.”

”Umm...”

”It's not even spicy.”

”So?”

”He cares...” Ming concludes. ”Is it possible that both of you are actually secretly in love with each other?”

I almost choked. ”I don't think so. You look at me and him before you speak.”

”Yo...” Ming speaks with a serious tone. ”Have you looked at yourself in the mirror..? No No No...” He scolds me from trying to fix myself in front of the mirror he was holding. I really don't understand what he's trying to tell me. ”You made the Campus Moon and his First Runner Up stare at you without blinking their eyes right after you're done showering. I don't think that's nothing. That's something... You are something. And stop thinking that you're ugly, okay?”

”They were staring? No way.” I don't think they did stare at me that much like what he says.

”Idiot... You have no f.u.c.king idea.” Ming says. ”You should probably start cleaning your front yard since from now on, you'll only have Moons and more Moons courting you if you continue scattering your charm all over the place like this.”

I don't know what to say.

”Nong'Yo...” I havent even prepared my response to Ming yet when P'Forth approaches us handing me a bottle of fresh drinking water. ”You need to drink more water... I see you sweat.”

Ming quirks his eyebrows at me repeatedly while I move my mouth silently to scold him. ”I'm not really feeling that hot P'...”

”Are you sure? You still have to take a lot of pictures today.” P'Forth said with a worried tone. ”Let me know if you feel sick or something, okay?”

”Thank you, khrub P'... You are so kind...” Ming still makes a teasing face at me.

It might just have been a coincidence that Kook'Kai and some of her friends approach P'Pha to talk to him. At that time, he was sitting at the far end corner of the area along with other soph.o.m.ore Moons. He looks so hot among those girls. However, no one really knows where his eyes focus at or what he might be thinking behind those thick sungla.s.ses he's wearing.

”There's not much activity for today. We will just take a clip for your individual self-introduction which they'll use for your talent show. They will only take a single shot of you and the other is with your Star, do you understand?” P'Forth speaks with a serious voice making me wonder if he's one of those haze members or not, but he looks like one of them in my opinion...

”Khrub P'...”

”Ming... I want you to be very charming and handsome... Engineering Faculty never fails to hit the Top Three.”

”That's so depressing, P'...” Ai Ming complains.

”As for Nong'Yo...” P'Forth turns to me ”... You don't need to be too handsome. You're not suitable to have that 'cool' or handsome style for your image.”

”Why should I have a different concept from Ming?”

”I'm just pointing out your unique personality.” He smiles and pats my head gently.

”Why P'Forth, you're so unfair! You're making double standards.” Ming complains. ”When you talk to me... You're giving out orders like we're in a military camp, but with Ai'Yo, you're giving him sweet talks.” ?

”b.a.s.t.a.r.d... Look at your face then tell me why.” P'Forth laughs. ”I'm leaving... See you at the photo shoot.” He ruffles my hair then leaves.

Ming quirks his eyebrows at me again. ”Told you so... Told you so... Told you so...”

”a.s.shole...” I shake my head and s.h.i.+fted my gaze towards the Insane Med Students Gang. No more crowd of girls surrounding P'Pha now... Only P'Beam and P'Kit.

How I want to see those eyes under that pair of sungla.s.ses he's wearing.

And why does it looks like they're directed this way?

********

At the video shoot venue...

”Sawadee khrub... My name is Yo. WaYo PNit-ChYSWad representing the Faculty of Science under Kantaphat University.”

It only needs one take for me to complete the shooting for the video clip. P'Ging seems very proud of my performance. (I don't think she expected me to be this good. She's been cheering up Nate more lately.) Once done, we were headed for our photo shoot this time. It takes quite longer than I thought. I smile until my jaws become stiff. Worse, I have to sip a lot of water and redo the make up because I've been sweating all over. My s.h.i.+rt is all wet.

Do you know why I find it harder than shooting for the clip? It's because Mr. Phana Kong-TNin is standing in front of me watching.

He keeps on checking my photo on the monitor then s.h.i.+fts his gaze back at me. He's doing it many times - staring and not saying anything... Don't you have any idea how it makes me feel so embarra.s.sed right now?

”Yo... Relax. You look too stressful. Are you okay?” P'Photographer now has to say something. It's taking too long than the rest of us having their photos taken.

”Khrub?”

”Be yourself... Smile like you always do.”

I couldn't... I couldn't smile... Don't you understand? I want to tell them that, but I also don't want to be kicked out by poor Mr. Photographer. I don't know what to do anymore. Can't you go somewhere? P'Pha s.h.i.+fts his curious gaze towards me again.

I'm sweating heavy and melting at the same time.

”We're taking too long with him. Ai'Pha, Can you show him how to do it?”

Good. I need to take a break and walk away from the backdrop. Let P'Pha show me how to be a model. He looks confused and points to himself like asking the photographer. My face doesn't look happy at all because I want this to be done. It's taking too long like they said.

It's not fair... P'Pha doesn't have to do anything. He just puts his hands inside his pockets and he becomes handsome right away.

Not fair at all...

”Like that, Yo. Do you get it?”

P'Photographer takes his pictures repeatedly until P'Pha has to stop.
