Oh My Player!

Chapter 4 - On My Mind

(Niran's Pov)

What the hell was that? You've never talked so much with one person. Why do you feel so comfortable around him? It's your friend like Nin and Mali but somehow feels more comfortable than them. Oh, forget it. You're not just used to have new friends.

The next morning...

I think I woke up to early, was I anxious for today? I don't care. Here he comes.

-Good morning. – he said with a sleepy face.

-Hey. Didn't you sleep? You look bad.

-Yeah, I didn't get much sleep tonight, I don't know why though. I need coffee that's for sure. - he said while yawning.

-Then let's go meet Mali and Nin at the Uni to grab you a coffee. Here your helmet.

I handed him his helmet and we took off. In the middle of the way I had to grab his hand and put it around me has I notice he was going to fall. That made me feel strange somehow, I guess it's because I only drove with girls or Nin (I know that she is a girl, but you know what I mean).

We arrived at the Uni and there were Mali and Nin with their jaw dropped like they were seeing a ghost or something.

-What are you looking at? – I asked them.

-Narin this is the first time I see you with someone other than some girl. – Nin had to say it. – Wait! Tawin? – she sounded so surprised, as I was with myself.

-Hm, hi everyone. Let's grab coffee first, okay? - Tawin said handing me the helmet.

After grabbing coffee, we sat at a table and the questions started.

-Tawin? Why didn't you get much sleep that's not normal of you. – I heard Mali asking him like this was the first time that he was like that. - I only saw you like this when you and...

-I don't know! I went tutoring Niran until late and then I couldn't get much sleep. And today we have the first meeting of the contest with the seniors, are you two coming too? – Tawin interrupted Mali before she could finish her saying, it was like he had something to hide.

-No, the seniors told us that this is only for the contestants, our meeting is tomorrow. – Nin answered.

-Then it's just the two of us. - I said to Tawin.

He nods his head, and we went to class. In class I couldn't stop thinking on what Mali was going to say. Does he have something to hide, maybe he broke up with his girlfriend and couldn't sleep for somedays, or did he do something wrong, no, I'm sure she was going to say the name of someone. The bell rang, which made me lose my thoughts, P'Prayut and P'Phichai, my seniors and captains of the football team, where already waiting for me.

-Yoh, Niran! Let's go, you must train before the meeting! – P'Prayut yelled at me.

The practice went well, now was time to take a shower and go to the meeting. For my surprise, as I left the locker room, I saw Tawin waiting for me, he raised his hand and smiled at me.

-Hm, Tawin what are you doing here?

-Oh, I'm sorry. I thought we could go together to the meeting since it's happening in the Arts department, and we are going both in the same way. Don't worry, next time I meet you there. – he sounded disappointed and a little bit hurt when I asked him that.

-No, you thought well. I wasn't expecting to see you just that. Let's go? I know you are into books but what about a race? The last to get there as to pay dinner. – I tried to make him feel better. – Ready? Go?

I started running and he came after me yelling that this wasn't fare because he didn't do sports and wasn't ready at all. We run and laugh our lungs out. I was the first to arrive, but I was surprised, he was right behind me. For someone that doesn't do exercise, he was fast.

-Didn't you say that you didn't exercise?

-I used to train but not anymore. I prefer books now. Well, I was the last, it seems like I must pay for dinner. Let's go in they must be waiting for us. - he said that while entering the Arts building

Now I had even more questions for him...
