WRONG NUMBER {COMPLETE}

Forty

~Forth~

The time home was exactly what I needed to clear my head. I returned to the city late Wednesday evening, and P'Mew wanted to meet up for dinner. So I told him to meet me at the Loren restaurant. Upon arrival, I overheard a voice calling out my name. It was P'Techno, and with him was P'Tharn, P'Cir and Beam! So much was going through my mind in that moment, the last time I saw Beam was on the beach at the SOTUS closing.

He definitely looked shocked to see me, and all I could conjure up was a smile. He gave me a blank stare, exchanged words with P'Tharn and left. " Mr. Head Hazer are you here by yourself? Join our table..."-Techno. " I am meeting up with my brother.." I responded. " Wait P' Earth or P'Mew?" Tharn asked joining us. Tharn was a freshman during P'Earth's senior year and P'Mew's Junior year.

I partied with them, even before I started college, they are a fun bunch. From my recollection, P'Tharn was dating Type. The hot tempered guy on the soccer team. I really wanted to ask how he knew Beam, but I couldn't find the words. I joined them, and soon enough P'Mew joined us with P'Park. " What is this? A reunion?"-P'Park asked in a chipper mood. Greeting everyone and catching up with the guys. I have yet to speak with Lam, but from his mood my assumption is that they are on good terms.

" Does your band still perform at the Elite Bar?"-P'Park asked Tharn. " Yea... we are performing this Friday, you should come. N'Pha is throwing a surprise birthday for his boyfriend there."-Tharn. As the Moon before my year, we saw a lot of P'Tharn. Once Phana won Moon our year, they hang out a lot. Is that how he knew Beam? That question kept ringing in my head. Then he said, "... we even got a new guitarist, Beam... Phana's brother"-Tharn.

The moment he mentioned Beam's name, I noticed P'Park tensed up and my interest peaked. " ... I think Tharn fancy him... I mean the guy is a beauty"-Techno said, earning him a smack on the head. " Don't spread stupid rumors. My boyfriend is already jealous as they come. Don't give him a reason to torment the kid."-P'Tharn. Beam is their new guitarist, that's great. He is a great player and will fit in with the band.

" We should definitely go Park... I miss college parties " P'Mew said. " Yea, bring Ice king with you..hahaha"-Techno said. " Do you want to DIE?" Park said getting angry about Techno's comment about Lam. A part of me wanted to sit this one out, but the truth is I really wanted to see N'Beam. My feelings for him have not faded. I truly like him, and would at least like to initiate a friendship. " Will you be there Forth?..."Tharn asked. " Yea, why not... I have to head home now. I have tone of school work to catch up with"- I said taking my leave.

~Lam~

P'Park was trying to his words, he showed up the following morning to pick me up for school. "How long do you plan on doing this? Won't you be late for work?" I asked getting in the car. " Don't worry about that, I am a partner in this business not an employee. I make my own schedule..." He replied with a smile. I didn't want to get all chummy with him, but the guy is persistent. Then he asked me about the party, whether I wanted to go.

" ummm... I'll think about it" I replied. " We can always do something together if you are not interested. Like you know... take you on a date! Perhaps"-Park. I looked at him and simply smiled, "... too soon? Hahaha.... the entire gang will be there." He said. I knew what he was insinuating, he obviously wanted to know where I stood with N'Beam but been pussyfooting about for some days now. " Forth likes Beam...like really likes Beam!" I said.

He pulled up to the entrance of the University, "... What about you Lam? Do you still like Beam?"-Park. Did he seriously ask me that question? "... before you loose your cool. I could tell you were infatuated with the kid. And... as much as I hate to say it. That guy won't look in Forth's direction if he knew you did, and that scares me Lam"- Park said. I sensed the concern in his voice, so I lifted his chin and kissed him. " Woah 😦, what was that for????"-Park. " I just gave you my response" I said while stepping out his car. " See you at 5pm, don't be late" I said leaving him bemused.

~Beam~

I joined P'Tharn and the band for one last rehearsal before the show. I've also been running errands for Phana for this party. I've been too pre-occupied to think about anything. " Great rehearsals guys, we are going to kill it on Friday"-P'Cir stated. Everyone nodded in agreement, " Beam, are you joining us for dinner or you got school work?"-P'Tharn asked. I've been skipping out on the dinners and I guess it is a band ritual for them. " We haven't properly welcomed you to the band"-Techno said.

" Hahaha, yea... I can join you today. I have no plans" I said. Truth is, I had no plans the previous times either, I just wasn't ready to run into P'Forth again. " Great... we will meet at the Korean BBQ in 5minutes" -P'Tharn. But I didn't drive to campus today, I hitched a ride with Ming and Kit. " I didn't drive today...." before I could even finish my sentence. He said, " yea ride with me...I'll meet you at the parking lot. I have to use the restroom"-P'Tharn.

When he left, Techno walked up next to me. "I really think Tharn likes you, he has never offered me a ride before". I looked at him quizzically , P'Tharn has a boyfriend, what would make him think that. " Leave the kid a lone, Tharn never offer you a ride. Because you invite yourself hahaha"-P'Cir said. They all laughed as we walked out. Of course he doesn't like me like that, he is just friendly.
