Fluke POV

"You're late!" he said after I open the passenger seat.

"I don't even want to attend that party!"

He let a long sigh. I look at him.

"You also don't want to attend? Am I right?!"

"Fluke, you know me. I don't like a gathering like this, but I have to go since Ms. Sha prepared this one for us. That's how proud she is to our success!"

I got silenced from that. It's true that Ms. Sha is so proud of us she keeps on telling other professor how we win to that competition. I sometimes feel like the other professor are already done on her because all she keeps telling them is all about the competition.

"Will you stay until the end?"

I got awkward after that, so I just asked a random question.

"I don't know yet. You?"

"Maybe? Prem and Sammy probably will stay until the end and I'm sure they will not let me go home early."

"I'll stay then. I can't leave you when we literally go there together."

"It's okay! Aren't you going to search for Emi later?"

I saw how his forehead crease on what I've said.

"Why would I search for Emi? We're not that close."

They've been together this past week but they not that close? Is he kidding me?!

I just let it go and focus on the road, I don't want to argue with him tonight.

We arrived at the party, and the first one that I spot was Prem talking to a guy... this bitch know how to move faster!

"Flukieee!!!" I saw Emi...?

"Hi Flukie! Ms. Sha is already looking for us! She said we will open the party tonight so let's go!"

I was about to refuse but she already dragging me to the place where Ms. Sha is sitting with other professors. I look at Ohm and he was just there following us.

"You should smile a little, fake a little. This party won't take long." he whisper on me.

"Glad to see you here Fluke! I thought you will ditch me." Ms. Sha jokingly said.

"I wouldn't do that to the person who helped us win the competition. Thank you for this Ms. Sha I'm really grateful!" THIS TIME I WAS REAL!

"Hey Fluke! Do you know that guy?" Prem asked me in whisper.

I look where he's looking and saw a familiar face. It was our opponent in the school competition. I didn't know they will attend our party.

He saw me looking at him, so he put his glass up and say "cheers."  I also do the same.

"He's one of our opponent last time. I didn't know we'll see them here tonight."

"I think he's interested in you. He's been looking at you for a while now."

I think the alcohol already kick in, so I stand on my seat and walk to him.

"Hi, I'm Fluke..."

OHM POV

"Ohm? You, okay? You haven't talking for a while. Is there a problem?"

"Yeah, I'm good Emi. Will you just excuse me."

I've been looking at Fluke ever since he got close to Matt. I know that guy since he's one of our opponents in the competition and for us to win, one of my tactics is to know our opponent.
