Guardian Angel

Girl Named Poom

Beam searched all over the hall. Kit elbowed his waist. "Who are you looking for? Your eyes have been looking here and there."

"Poom. I haven't seen that Poom since, even though practice is almost over."

"I wonder who the Poom you've been talking about lately? Is she pretty? Are you serious about her?"

Beam laughed, imagining Poom as someone beautiful. "No. She's far from pretty. She's . . . fun, funny, can be really stupid and silly at times."

"Hey, that makes me even more curious. Have your tastes changed?"

"No, Kit, I still like pretty and sexy girls, but Poom is different. She's fun and makes me want to hang out with her."

Kit shook his head and continued reading his book. Beam looked towards the parking area and saw four large motorbikes parked there.

"Hey, Kit, are those motorcycle gank also participating in the campus moon event? Why are those motorbikes always there?"

"Yes. Forth is the engineering faculty representative for the campus moon. The Fantastic four are escorting him so he doesn't run away."

"Fantastic four? Are they playing costumes? Like Avanger or Marvel or Teletubbies?"

"No, Beam. They are Forth's closest friends. I heard Forth refused to be a campus moon representative. Seniors and alumni of the engineering faculty have marked Forth since he was a freshman and of course Forth is the most appropriate choice. I heard he has value highest in engineering faculty, even surpassing Phi Arthit who was considered a genius and graduated summa cum laude two years ago. After all, Forth is a natural leader. He has been considered a leader since the great fight with the Lotus gank who tried to annoy one of the engineering school girls in his freshman year. He butchered fifteen people alone."

Beam tilted his head. "You sound very familiar with them. I didn't know you hung out with engineering kids."

Kit smiled shyly. "No. I heard it from Ming and a litlle from Phana. Ming is a first-year engineering student, a close friend of Wayo."

"Ming?"

"Phi Kit," a hand landed gently on Kit's shoulder.

Kit and Beam turned and saw a tall and handsome man standing next to Kit. Beam raised an eyebrow, seeing Kit's face turn red as he stared at the man.

"Hi, Ming. Where's Wayo?"

The man named Ming sat across from Beam and Kit. "He bought snacks at the convenience store in front of it, for his beloved Phi Pha," Ming said while rolling his eyes playfully.

Kit chuckled and patted Beam's arm. "Beam, this is Ming. Mingkwan, this is Beam."

"Good evening, Phi Beam," Ming greeted politely. "I just saw you now and like people said, you are indeed handsome, but sorry say, my Phi Kit-Kat is beyond handsome because he is cute, too. "

Beam saw how Kit always blushed whenever Ming teased him. He leaned towards Wayo who came with a large bag of snacks.

"Is there something I missed about them, Nong?"

Wayo smiled and whispered. "You always disappear two hours before practice ends, Phi, so you don't know that Ming is really trying so hard to impress Phi Kit with him."

"He must have a sore eye. Why would he choose to like grumpy Kit when he can get pretty girls? He's so handsome."

Wayo laughed. "Ming has had a crush on Phi Kit for a long time."

Beam shook his head, then his phone vibrated.

[Beam, I'm going to have dinner at the dimsum place near dorm 11. Do you want to join?]

Beam's face lit up. He patted Wayo's shoulder. "I have to go. Kit, Ming, I have to go first."

Kit shook his head as Beam ran into the parking area. "I'm curious about this mysterious girl named Poom."
