I Hate Everybody (PatPran)

Pran hates everybody. Well, that's what he says and believes. He hates everyone around him, even his closest friends. He can't remember when it started but he knows the reason why.

Pat Napat. Pran thinks, while gritting his teeth. Pat Napat is the main reason why he hates everybody.

Pat is friendly. Pran hates that.

Pat is charismatic. Pran hates that.

Pat is astonishing. Pran hates that.

Pat is everything Pran isn't. Pran hates that.

Pat is Pran's exact opposite. Why does the guy always shine brighter than anyone else? Why does the guy captivate anyone's heart that easily? Pran hates it so much.

How can Pat just walk through the streets wearing a bright smile on his face every single time Pran sees him? How can Pat be so friendly and helpful to anyone whenever Pran encounters him?

"Hey, the spoon will break if you keep doing that." Someone interrupts Pran's thoughts. And of course, Pran knows the owner of that voice very well.

Pran looks up and smirks, "So what?"

Pat laughs, "Why are you so grumpy?" He sits beside Pran, "Eat up, Mr. Dimples , or I'll snatch away your food."

Mr. Dimples. What the heck? Pran groans to himself. Why does he always sit beside me during lunch? There are so many tables around the cafeteria. Damn it.

As peacefully as he can, Pran eats his lunch without looking or even talking to Pat. He doesn't want to talk to the latter, he hates him and all of his guts. He just wants to finish his food and go to his next class.

When Pran finishes packing and stands up, Pat calls his name. Pran doesn't want to face him but his body betrays him.

"Wait up, we can go together." Pat tells him, making Pran look at him confused, "Silly, we have the same classes together." Pat chuckles, "Oh come on, Mr. Dimples , how can you forget?"

Mr. Dimples, the heck ? Pran mentally snorts. Why does he have to call me that? We're not even close to begin with. Annoying.

Pran ignores him and starts walking. Pat, on the other hand, catches up with Pran's pace and puts his arms around Pran's shoulder.

"Hey!" Pran flinches, surprised by Pat's action. "Remove your arm around me, stupid."

"Why? Are you allergic or something?"

"No. People might misunderstand. I don't want to create an issue, especially with your reputation as someone famous in college." Pran explains. It makes me feel something weird too.

Pat chuckles, "Wow, that's the longest thing I've ever heard from you." Pat still did not remove his arm around Pran, "Let them be. Besides, we're friends."

Friends, my ass. Pran wants to roll his eyes and complain but he stops himself to save his energy for his class. Pran shrugs and doesn't bother to argue with Pat anymore. But that doesn't change the fact that Pran hates Pat's presence, especially with this close proximity with him.

★彡

Days after their encounter, Pran still hates Pat. Okay, that's nothing new. But he hates him more than ever because it's as if the universe is playing tricks on him.

Pran and Pat are assigned as partners to represent their department for their college night. Because of this, their whole class relies on them. Their grades will depend on Pran and Pat's performance. Pran wanted to refuse but he didn't bother to. And he's too exhausted to argue with anyone else.
