As I listened to Forth explained what the engineer gear to their Freshman. I couldn't help but glance in P'Lam's direction. I mean who am I kidding, I have fallen for this guy and I need to come clean to Forth. I felt it with every fiber of my being, that even if I don't end up with P'Lam. I didn't see myself with P'Forth either. What I had for him was an infatuation, but what I've developed for P'Lam was beyond that.

Once we got to the beach, I sensed where everything was going and I was done pretending. Pretending I can like P'Forth as much as as I liked P'Lam. So with my face drenched in tears, I told him the truth. I even wanted to tell him whom the other guy was. But there was no need, because P'Lam doesn't want to be with me anyway. To my surprise he didn't say anything, but gave me a weak smile.

I ran back to the suite and packed my bags. " I am going back on campus..." I told Ming, who stood by his door with nothing but his towel on. He looked at me, without asking questions and said "... I'll drive you... Kitty we are going back to the city". I could hear P'Kit moan and groan. Let's just say he wasn't pleased with me. But I was glad Ming decided to drive me back, because my emotions had the best of me as I sat in the back seat of Ming's car. They didn't pester me with questions.

Even P'Kit who seemed annoyed at first, will peak glances at me from the rear view mirror. We drove none stop back to the city. " Do you need help with your bags?" Ming offered, but I responded by simply shaking my head no. Before I walked into the lobby, P'Kit rolled down his window and said. " For what it is worth Beam... You did the right thing. It is better to have love and lost than to have never experienced it. You will come out of this a better person". With that I headed to my dorm, with out looking back.

Last night was difficult for me, because as Forth gave the speech about how the engineer gear represents our heart. I thought about my own heart ♥️. I glanced at Beam when Forth went on with his speech. Who was I kidding, that kid does have my heart. Then, I looked at my best friend, who is enameled by this very same guy. My heart ache 😣, so I called it a night and returned to my room.

I woke up making amends with my current situation. One thing was certain, life must move on. I refuse to wallow and mop around. Who knows, in the perfect timing I'll also meet someone worthy of my love. I packed my bags and joined the other Hazers for breakfast. " Ayeee!!! Look who finally joined us. I thought you were in a honeymoon like Forth"-Pete said.

This guy, I seriously don't see what Kao sees in him 🤦‍♂️. " Actually, Forth left early this morning... he said he needed to go home"-Kao said. That's odd and he didn't even text me about it? "Come to think of it, he and his boyfriend disappeared into the night. I assumed they were bonking somewhere"-Pete said earning him a nudge in the rib from Kao. " Actually, N'Beam left last night with Ming and that rude boyfriend of his" Lhong chimed in.

Wait! What is going on? When I last saw them, they were all smiles. So I texted Forth, "Hey Forr... where are you?" *Send* Something felt off and out of place, why did N'Beam leave last night. The look of worry was written all over my face. " Don't think too much about it, I bet he is fine " Kao try to reassure me noticing the change in mood.

~Forth~

I stayed on the beach starring at the stars and moon, as the water crashed on the shore. It was actually soothing, compared to what I had experienced not long ago. Strange enough, I felt like I was dump multiple times by the same guy. * Perhaps this is Karma for all the hearts I've broken. The Universe definitely has impeccable timing *  I sat alone with my thoughts for a while, then decided to go back to the room.

I was out by the water to give Beam some space, but when I returned to my room there was no remnant of N'Beam. *Did he check into another room or is he sleeping in Ming's room*My natural instinct was to reach out to him, but then I stopped myself. " He left because he wants to be alone Forth..." I said out loud. I felt this aching feeling in my chest. I couldn't sleep, so I packed my bag and set out on the road.

I told nobody where I was heading, and I definitely didn't tell my parents I was coming home. So you could only imagine my mother's surprise when she saw me home around 6am. " Forth!?? Is that you?..." my mom asked. As if my emotions had a GPS, the moment I heard her voice. I embraced her and wept like a baby. " Omg!!! Is something wrong? What happened? Did someone hurt you?"-Mother. All I could utter was, " I'll go... I'll go abroad for school. I no longer want to be here anymore" I said.

~Lam~
Forth did not answer none of my calls or text messages. I presumed he went home, but there was no Forth in sight when I arrived there. So I called P'Mew. " Hello Lammie... how have you been?"—P'Mew answered the phone. " I've been good Phi, is Forth with you?" I asked. " You two are really inseparable, well he is home. Mother said he was not feeling well when I called home"-P'Mew.

Forth is sick? He was okay when I last saw him. " Alright, I'll go check on him then.." I said grabbing my keys. " Don't bother Nong, I believe he would be leaving for the country side with my mom soon. They are going to see my grandparents. Don't worry about him, he will be back to school on Tuesday"-P'Mew. But I was worried, my gut feeling tells me something is wrong.
