Bumping Accident | Englot

Chapter 1

Engfa’s POV

You know when you’re having the best sleep of your life and someone just comes and ruins it. Well, that happens to me at least once a week. My best friend, Tina, is basically like my mom. She sometimes scares me, honestly.

“Engfa, if you don’t get your ass up right now, I swear to God I will throw an ice bucket on you,” she says, yelling from the kitchen.

I slap her across the face in my mind and start moving around in my bed.

“Why do you always do this? It’s Saturday, and I have nothing to do.” I yell back at her and sit up on my bed.

“You have a sad life, you’re lonely, you need to get out more.” She says this as she walks into my room.

“I am not lonely,” I reply with a pout.

“Fine, fine, whatever you say, just get up, we are going to go out and have breakfast.”

“Is it only going to be me and you?” I ask.

“No, Nudee and Chompu are going to be there too.” She replies and then leaves the room, indicating I should start getting ready.

I get up from my bed and go to the bathroom. I have a big bathroom, so you can move around easily. As I’m washing my face, I look up at the mirror. I have black hair and dark brown eyes. Super basic. As I’m staring in the mirror, I can’t help but think about how Tina is right—I am lonely. I have a close circle of friends, and I don’t do much other than go out with them a few times a week. But it’s not my fault when life fucks you over; you can’t help but start to only trust a few people around you. Tina, Nudee, and Chompu are my best friends. They know everything about me and support me through everything. We might bicker here and there, but we always have each other’s back.

I finished washing my face and got ready in a hurry. Tina is scary when she gets mad. I walk out of my room and see her sitting on my sofa on her phone.

“Sometimes I regret giving you a key.” I tell her with a chuckle.

“Oh, look who’s finally ready. Nudee and Chompu are going to meet us there, hurry up,” she informs me as she’s standing up for us to leave. I just give her an innocent smile and walk to the front door.

I don’t really like to admit it, but I do have money, even though I don’t really spend it on myself. As we get to the door, I grab my car keys. I have two cars: a black 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo
and a black Audi A3 sedan. I usually just drive the Audi around. The Porsche is for special occasions, and I also need to keep it in good shape for upcoming races.

We walk to my car, get in, and start going to the coffee shop to have breakfast.

“Have you talked to your parents recently?” Tina asks as I turn away from my street.

I hate this question every time it comes up, so I just ignore her and turn up the music.

“Fa, you know I’m always here for you if you need anything.” Her tone is soft, causing me to take a deep breath.

“What do you want me to say, Tina? No,  I haven’t talked to them because my father only calls when there’s a social event, and you know that.” I hear her sigh, and I know she’s thinking of something to say to try and comfort me.

My parents have three kindergarten schools around the country. Apparently they’re a big deal or whatever. They have one of the best schools in the country. When I came out to my parents, they didn’t take it well, or at least my dad didn’t. But I guess he took advantage of the situation and used it as media attention to apparently tell the world that we accept everyone and our schools are open to every child. So, of course, we don’t talk unless he needs me at an event or he needs something at school.

I have been holding on to the hope that everything will change, but it hasn’t. I don’t know why I keep going to those events, though. My sister and I are kind of involved in the business, but now she’s involved more than I am. My father almost completely cut me off, he still asks for my help and asks me to sit in meetings, but he doesn’t really pay me for it. I used up all my own savings to open my club, and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. That club is my heart, I put everything I had into it, and I’m glad it’s doing well.

I look over at her, and she just gives me a smile, and that comforts me. Tina has always been there for me, she annoys the hell out of me sometimes, but I wouldn’t be here without her.

We drive in silence for the rest of the ride, and a few minutes later we arrive. I park, and we get out of the car. Tina opens the door, and we step inside. We look around and find Nudee and Chompu sitting by the window in the far back. We order and then walk to their table.

“Fa, Tina, what took you guys so long?” Chompu asks, and I can’t help but groan and sit at the table.

“Oh, you know, someone just couldn’t get out of bed.” Tina answers.

“Nudee, please save me. I can’t be with Tina anymore.” Nudee starts laughing.

“Don’t be dramatic, lighten up, we’re just messing around.” She is literally always by Tina’s side. Thank God I have Chompu, or I would have killed one of them by now.

“How’s the club going?” Chompu asks.

“It’s going really well, actually. I have to order more drinks later for tomorrow, but other than that, great.”

“I’m really glad, you know we love that club, plus we get free drinks,” Chompu says, and everyone starts laughing. As annoying as they are, of course I give my best friends free drinks.

A waitress brings our coffees over, and we start talking about how things are going and drinking our coffee. Nudee is in the middle of telling us how this girl at her job is literally all over her boss when my phone starts vibrating on the table. I look down at the caller ID, and I literally want to die.

“Agh Tina You really had to jinx it.” I groan, and the three of them look at my phone, then look back up at me with concerned eyes. I take, like, ten deep breaths and then answer the call.

“Yes father.”

“Engfa, not even a hello, I see.” He says, and I have to close my eyes to compose myself so I don’t lose it.

“Father, please don’t waste my time. What do you need?”

“As you wish, I need you to be at the school in 30 minutes. I have someone coming over, and I need you to be there too.”

“Why and who?” I question.

“Don’t argue with me, Fa. Be there or there will be consequences,” he says in his business voice. Consequences, my ass. What is he going to do? But I’m too tired of our arguments.

“I’ll be there,” I say, and he hangs up right away without even saying goodbye.

“Are you okay?” Nudee asks, and I look up to see three pairs of eyes on me.

“I have been summoned by my father. What a great way to start the weekend.” I inform them in a sarcastic tone.

“Tina I am so glad you’re a lawyer because one of these days I’m going to kill someone.”

“Engfa I will literally kill you if you kill someone.” She says, and Chompu and Nudee start chucking, trying to hold in their laughs, and I just scoff.

“I’m sorry, you guys. I really have to go. He needs me at the school in 30 minutes.” I say this as I’m getting up. The three of them get up, give me a hug, and tell me that they love me. I don’t know what I would do without them. I get in my car and start going towards the school. Hopefully, my Saturday will get better after this stupid meeting is over.
