Aim - Can We Chat?

When was the last time I actually hung out with Kong? I can't even remember now was it before second term? I know, we have been together with our school friends, but that was always for assignments we needed do. We haven't had a good moment to just chill in each other's presence. In my head even I know I shouldn't be very clingy and cringe worthy. I just feel abandoned?

Kongpob always deals with everything on his own never asking for help even if he actually needs it , however he inserts himself in everyone else's problems. He is such a hypocrite sometimes, but I guess that is how we ended up being friends. I kind of looked up to him afterwards, but now when I look at him.. he seems different. I can't figure it out.

That is why I need to get him alone and try to convince him to spend one Friday night with me or at least our group of guy friends. Just to talk about what we are dealing with and stuff. The problem I face is how do I say this... convince him. I don't have away with words like he does and I'm not as blunt as Oak, and definitely not as strategic as Tew.

Which is why I am currently sitting in my class not paying attention to the lecture, but plotting my attack, but it's more like a feeble attempt of persuasion. No matter how many scenarios I play out in my head I just end up sounding like a needy and jealous friend. Which I'm not... I don't think. Okay, maybe...a little? I mean when I saw how much Kong lights up while talking about his faen or whenever his boyfriends friends come over to see us. They always have this unspoken exchange which always ends with them smiling at each other like nobody is around... like we are quite literally air. I can't help, but shake my head.

My own romance is as slow moving as the next appearance of a comet. Yes, May and I talk a lot and we have become pretty close, but there is clearly a wall built between us. I don't know when or how long it will be before that is completely taken down. It would be nice to just... who am I kidding... I am freaking jealous. I want to be just as sappy as they are.

Focus Aim, we are getting off topic. Getting Kong to agree with hanging out over the weekend... which means he will be away from him... why did he honestly had to like our head hazer. Kong clearly doesn't tell me the full truth, so in a lot of ways I want to capture him to spill his guts. How did he go from despising the head hazer to... in love with him. Just thinking about it gives me a cold chill.

Shit... Kong just gave me a weird look. I hesitate too long and he mouths "are you okay?". This is why I he is my best friend... no matter what he cares about us. I mouth back, "I'm fine. Just tired!" He nods his head and turns his attention back to the lecture.

When I look up at the professor they are finishing up the class and assigning some homework. I guess, I'll need to ask Kong for his notes as I clearly didn't pay attention. This is why my grades at the lower end of the class unlike Kong, May, Praepailin, and Tew. At least Oak and I are on the same page... even Maprang. The professor leaves the classroom and everyone starts to get up to leave.

I quickly looked over at Kong who is frantically texting on his phone. "Ai'Kong?" "Mmhm" "do you... umm... want to hang out... Umm.. Friday?" He looks up from his phone and smiles. "Of course! Are we inviting everyone? Or just the guys? We can crash at my dorm? I don't mind." "Wait.... you are okay with it?" I look at him surprised "yeah. We haven't hung out a lot right since exams and the new semester. I know I have been kind of neglecting everyone, so of course." He smiled genuinely. "That is kind of why I asked... we haven't had time to celebrate or let off some steam together!" We both laughed as Tew and Oak walked over.

"I heard something about getting together. if this means we are drinking and playing videos games. I am so in!" Oak states cheerfully. "So am I. I really need to de-stress a little. It would be nice to just have a guys night." Tew nods. "It's set. My place. Friday!" That was a lot easier than I thought... I guess I didn't need to spend my whole lecture giving myself a pep talk.
