It's in the evening and this chap is here later than expected but here it is💪🏻
Chopper
The week went by fast. Ben wasn't even at school today. Relieved, I went straight outside after the school bell rang, knowing I was going to have a very relaxing weekend. No interruptions, barely no homework and the best thing was: not having to spend time with Dad. I was going to stay at Nueng's house. I spent too much time convincing my father to let me go, but it's sure worth it. I'd freak out if I had to spend just another day more with him.
I started packing immediately when I got home. -„Chopper, are you sure you don't want to stay and spend time with your father?" Fuck yes. Never was I so sure about anything other than this. -„I have to study with Nueng, you know that. We have a project together." I told him, less a try to console him but one to let me go. -„Okay, okay. Fine. I get it." And I do not give a fuck if you're sad because you're not.
Luckily, Nueng's house wasn't very far away, so I just walked there. Today seemed more peaceful than ever. I plugged in my airpods and played whatever song was coming up on my playlist, my only intention being to enjoy today.
I rang the bell. Soon after, I heard footsteps on the stairs. -„Hi!" I said, waving. -„Hello." Palm said back. A little startled, I blinked a few times. -„...Where is Nueng?" I asked. -„He's sleeping upstairs in his room. Come and wait in the living room." I wanted to roll my eyes at that. What did I get myself into? Spending 2 freaking days with this couple?!
I didn't sat there for a long time. Nueng came down shortly after Palm sat me down on the couch and asked multiple time if I wanted something to eat or drink. -„Nueng! You're up." I sounded way to excited. He yawned first, then sat down on the couch on the opposite side of me. -„Mhh. Wait, why are you here?!"
-„I'm here to live for the next two days, dumbass." Nueng scrached his head, he slowly seemed to remember. -„Right." Was what he said. We just randomly sat there in silence. To break the awkward silence, I decided to ask if he knew Ben. -„Nueng, you know, there's this kid in our Chinese class... the weird one. The one who wouldn't pick my notebook up for me. Do you know him by any chance?"
Nueng's expression changed really quick to shocked. It took him a minute to clear his throat. -„We... kind of... had something going on you know, a couple months ago..." Surprised, I looked up. -„Seriously? When? How? Why?" -„Remember when there were posters hung up all over school? It was true. Me and Ben being together. Honestly, I'm relieved I got to meet someone like Palm and didn't rely on someone like Ben. I believe he can still change for the better."
I nodded. -„I never knew. I thought the picture was randomly edited or something to bring you down." Nueng shook his head. -„Nah. Anyways, why do you wanna know about him?" I let out a big sigh. -„This dude really seems to hate me and I got no clue why. It's so weird. I just noticed him."
Nueng nodded this time, seemed like deep in thoughts. -„Bet he was just wanting to mock someone. Don't worry too much about it." I nodded again as a response. -„I'm just gonna rest my eyes now." Nueng let out a heavy sigh. -„Don't you wanna bring you stuff up first? You can sleep later, lazy ass." He got up and kicked into my leg. -„Argh! Fine." My eyes shot open as he kicked against my leg. Slowly, I got up to gather my stuff together.
Ben
I was sick this Friday. The day we had Chinese class. I was eager to see Chopper again. I didn't actualy mean being as mean and dumb as last time. I just wanted to interact with him a bit. Okay, I admit that it wasn't the smartest way to chat with him. I could've just simply asked him something about our class together.
I sighed. Lying with fever in bed wasn't the greatest thing to do on a Friday afternoon. The thing is, I was kinda having a crush on Chopper. No joke. I mean this. I don't have this crush for long, maybe a month. Since I broke up with Nueng, I kind of found myself more in Chopper. A random boy I didn't even know. Someone, I only saw twice a week. It was complicated.
