MY DRAG QUEEN

Chapter Four

Saint came home exhausted.He felt like he's been into some boxing bout.His mind and body are drained out.

As he came inside his room,he immediately throw his body in the bed.Eyes blankly staring at the ceiling.Mind wandering anywhere.

"Ring!Ring!Ring!"

Suddenly,Saint heard his phone ringing.He answered it without even looking who the caller was.

"Khrap!",Saint said as he press the answer button.

"Sawasdee,Saint!",the person on the other line said.Then he continues,"Can you come over to our house right now?I have a few bottles of beer to tackle.And I find it boring to get drunk on my own.So I thought my bestfriend might keep me company instead?He!He!He!"

"Really,Mean?As in right now?!",an agitated Saint ask his bestfriend Mean (for God knows how long they've become so close like they were each other's long lost brother),ask him to drink at this time.Anyways,this is Mean his talking about it shouldn't surprise him at all.

"What's with the voice Suppapong?Did Dolly finally ditch you?",Mean teases Saint.

"Stop it,jerk!I'll be there in a minute.",then Saint ended the call.

I guess I needed to loosen up from this stress.Saint thought to himself.As he was going down their house,he went to their noodle house first and told Par Suda (his Mom's older sister and been with them since their father died) that he will visit Mean.And maybe come home later.

It doesn't took him a long time to reach Mean's house.It's just two blocks away from them.And he doesn't even have to ring the bell,for his bestfriend is waiting for him infront of the door already.

"Are you this excited to see me?",Saint ask with a smirk on his mouth.

"No!Not even in my dream!I just want to drink right away when you come.",then Mean handed Saint an opened bottle of beer.

"Then why do you have to wait for me?You could've started drinking,you know!Tsk..Tsk..",Saint said while he seated himself across Mean.

"I don't know what's gotten into you today.You're like a woman having her period.Ha!Ha!Ha!"

"Don't start Mean.I'm really not in the mood right now.Just came from the hospital.The doctor told us that Mom really needs to undergo a surgery as soon as possible."

"Oh!I'm sorry to hear that Bro.",suddenly Mean went beside to where Saint is and tap his shoulder.

"I need to find a job now.I mean,a part-time job since I can't quit school.It's my last year already.Do you,by chance,know of an opening?",Saint ask in a serious tone.

"As much as I want to help you find a job,I don't know any openings right now.But,I can lend you some money.And don't ever say no!Par Phutch is like a mom to me.It may not be that much but,I hope it can help.Just tell me when you need it and I'll prepare the money.",Mean sincerely told Saint.

"Thanks,Mean!But still,I need to find a job.The surgery is really expensive.Even if we don't have to pay the full amount right away we still need a hundred thousand bucks for the initial payment.",Saint explained.
