Fish Upon the Sky - Swapped Jackets & Stolen Kisses [LukeNeo]

Chapter 4

Neo attracts trouble, what's new.

We get to meet the last members of the Golden string! And FirstNeo friendship!!!!

Evening comes sooner than Neo expects it.

Granted, Mrs. Boonsri's less than pleased to see his beaten-up ass 45 minutes late into her class.

She barks at him to fix his clothes before he steps a foot in, and goes on five minutes straight how she would not tolerate another F from him should he last this year with them.

Thoroughly humiliated, Neo takes the empty seat beside Pond and copies down the set of equations as fast as he could with his bruised knuckles, ignoring his best friend's miffed sigh. He doesn't understand shit about statistical mechanics but barely manages to make do with substitutions and calculations at least.

Immersed in making sense of the humongous three chapters and solving shit equations to escape Boonsri's radar, he doesn't notice the lecture is over until Pond shakes his shoulder.

"What!"

Pond smirks at him as he shoulders his bag. They are the last to leave the class.

Five hours of nonstop Physics, someone should sue the sadistic hag.

"Looks like you're getting the hang of it. Very impressive. But we need to leave."

He's solved more than half the sums but he'll need to copy from Pond's for the practical answers. Neo yawns rubbing his eyes tiredly.

"I work great under stress."

"Good thing we have Khun Boonsri then."

Pond non-committedly hums to Neo's woes over bubble tea, leering at whatever perverted message he's sending his nong, and leaves soon after dutifully reminding Neo to take it easy lest he'll have blood pressure at 20.

Rich coming from someone who's ready to blow a gasket whenever N'Phuwin hangs around N'May.

"Didn't even listen to a word I said, Ai'Hee-ah!" Neo spits rice as he waves his spoon in his best friend's general direction. If he wasn't starving to death he'd have shoved the damn thing down Pond's throat.

The white Mazda zooms out of the parking lot eating dust, no doubt on its way to pick up Phuwin for the date.

Two servings and two sprites later, Neo drags his ass to detention.

Needless to say, he's in a butt load of trouble. But if he can get away with a warning for smoking instead of getting kicked off the team, he'll take it.

Even if it means he'll be spending the evening with the pervert scrubbing off the gym floor.

***

Director Thuanthong seems to be awfully pissed for some reason, and his piss poor mood doesn't improve as the detention hour passes by.
