Few weeks after Copter received his bracelet


Copter PoV

My professor asked me a favour to return documents to the engineering faculty. I want to decline but he was marking my test when I met him just now.

Did he purposely do that? What luck!

Being a good friend  I am, who doesn't like to see them having a rest without me, I dragged Tee and Bas to follow as they whine along the way, but looking excited when I mention they will have a chance to meet hot guys.

Hey, everyone thinks the engineering student is hot! - they work with a lot of heat!

Their faculty is no different from ours but having a bigger and open door. I can see fire sparking and hear a lot of noises when I pass through what I thought is their lab.

"Is mechanical the only course here?" Bas whine. "I want to see some sparkle or colourful spell also."

"That is the science department, Bas. This is engineering!" I smack his head who then glared at me.

"We have chem_" He stops. "12 O'clock." Tee said and we all scatter.

Bas behind the pillar, I choose the tree and Tee pretending to read a book leaning at one of the pillars but upside down before we slowly turn in the direction.

"They look hot." Tee said ogling the senior.

"The black jacket giving them the badass vibe." Bas drooling.

"We should change our eating port to their place next time." Tee feeling excited and Bas nodded agreed.

"And making them throw hot soup on our face when you starting your acting class?" I cringe when remembering the previous episode. "Nope. not a chance," I added.

"Well. How you sure they will do that?" They still laughing at my previous statement.

"They are a pack. if you accidentally make fun of them in your drama sequel... I don't think we still survive till the last episode of Bad Roommate." I added glaring at them for laughing.

"Oh, come on Copter. We did this everywhere. You are even involved! Since when you are a coward? I only know one person starts with the letter B." He laughs.

"Hey! don't involve me! I'm not a coward. It's because of monsters chasing the dimples over there that makes me...cautious.

"Oit! don't blame me. I never know adult likes dimples too much." I'm making a disgusted face.

We pass through several engineering students who greets us cheerfully but maintaining a distance. At first, it doesn't seem strange. As we walk further, we notice everyone who uses the same path as us will move a bit when passing through us.

Look like Tee and Bas also realize the situation when they look at each other and me frowning.

Do we stink? I smell my shirt. Then Bas and Tee.

"Erghh!!" I push them when their sweat odour killing my nose.

But isn't this normal? or they don't have sweat? Why do they avoid us?

We start circling each other like the dog chasing his own tail trying to find if one another having a pungent smell.

"I think is normal." We all agreed.

Maybe that is their unique way of respecting other students from different faculty?

I tried to be positive. Because they still smile at us. We stop one of a student asking for a way but he also made a few step backwards when talking to us.

Curiously, we ask him.

"Do we stink?"

He answers confusedly by raising his eyebrow.

"Why are you taking a step back when talking to us?" Bas chipped while I trying to move closer to see his reaction.

"Oh no. Please stay there."

"Why? "

"Your hand." He pointed to my hand.

Does my hand stink? I try to smell with Tee and Bas quickly grab mine doing the same.

I only smell my previous lunch. Is it too strong?

He laughed looking at us like watching a slapstick comedy. "Nobody ever told you?"

I look at Tee and Bas but the question was directed to me. "Told me what?"

"Ahhh...Then I don't have the right to explain to you."

"Eh? "

He smiles and trying to walk away.

"wait. wait." I try to grab his hand but damn, he fast running away before yelling. "Ask the person who gave you the bracelet."

"The person who gave you the bracelet?" Tee repeated as they both look at me curiously.

"Kimmon?" I look at them frowning.

why him?

"Is alright. I will ask the friend of a friend of a friend of a friend's brother for this." Tee gave reassurance that totally not helping at all.
