TRANSFER [MAXTUL]

File 04

Hi! are you enjoying this ride as I do?

~~

"PHI TUL!!"

Tay and White drops their head on the table when they heard Max's voice from the hall's entrance. It has been a week since that night and every afternoon Max came to their faculty to treat Tul a lunch. They were bewildered at first, afraid if Max puts poison in the food. But Max laughs out loud at their reactions. He said there's no way he would kill Tul or them in general. Max even talks about transfer student stories so freely, as if it was just a made-up story to scare and oppress a new student. A new way to prevent the students from moving to another school or university. 

The weirdest thing is, even if they clearly show they are afraid of Max and said it out loud that he IS a newcomer. Max still comes and laughs with them, not minding their fear. Even tries to joke them out of the topic.  

But what could explain the disappearance? or the dead of the students?

Max shrugs when New asked him that, "Maybe they were just caught in the moment?" he said, unsure.

Not only that, Max follows Tul wherever he goes. He is even known as Tul's admirer since the evening of his second day here. The whole architecture students know him by then as Max asks almost everyone he met about Tul's whereabout. He brought snacks and drinks with him for Tul. Moreover, it's weird how everyone let down their guard on him even when they know he's the newcomer in the university.

"Phi, I brought you pockies!" Max excitedly sits at their table. He drops a big full bag of pockies on it. "Ah, and you guys can have them if phi Tul allows," he adds.

Tay and White sigh exasperatedly. New just looks at his book, he's having lunch here today. Tul? He messages his nose bridge.

"Can you not scream? You're disturbing the students," Tul said. It's the nth times Tul said this because every time Max came, he always screams.

"Ah," Max gaps as he looks around. "Sorry," he whispers.

"And why are you here again today?" Tul asks.

"As I told you, I'll be here every lunchtime." Max smiles, showing his pink gums.

Tul sighs, the other just ignore Max and starts writing. They have an assignment due later at night.

"Ai'Max! Why didn't you wait for me!" suddenly Foei runs to the as he screams.

Since a week ago too, Foei and Max are inseparable. They converse as if they've been together since they were born. Where there's Max there's Foei, the same goes the other way.

"Why are you still friend with him when you know he's new here? What if he kills you?" New comments when Foei already sits beside Max and hits his head. Max just laughs at his action.

"If he's really going to kill me, maybe I'm already dead by now. But look, I'm still as alive as before. Besides, he's fun to have around," he said. Max offers him a fist bum which Foei happily accepts.

"Moreover," he continues. "if max is really dangerous as to what the stories told about a new student, you all won't allow him to sit here, right?"

Right. They don't know why they let Max sit at their table. They just feel like Max is Max as how he delivers himself to them. Straightforward, funny, smiley, stupid, and a little weird. He looks like the kind of friend who would faint first if they went to a haunted house.

He loves playing hero too. Yesterday, when Tay forgot his notes, Max offers him a ride. He said his bike will take him faster than his car considering the traffic at the hour. And oh, he looves to brag about his heroic actions. He told them the first time he lands his feet here he helps a beautiful lady to get her ticket to Japan. On his way to his rented house, he picked up an abandoned puppy. and many other stories he told.
