Chapter 4 - playing

Gemini was the first one to arrive. He looks to his surroundings furiously. Where the heck is everyone? He parked his bike and sat at the nearest bench. As he was waiting, someone arrived. It was Fourth. "Hey Gemini!" Fourth said smiling. "Oh. Hey Fourth. It's been a long time, how are you?" Gemini asked. "Oh. Been doing fine! How about you?" Fourth sat beside Gemini and Gemini flinched a bit. "Fine." Gemini responded. "Ouhh! I wonder what's taking them so long!" Fourth yapped. "You've just arrived too you know." Gemini look at Fourth. "Well I wanna play badminton with them!" Fourth smiled and gained some energy. "Really?" Gemini laugh. "Oh. By the way you wanna buy some ice cream?!" Fourth immediately stands up and face Gemini. "Buy me some. I wanna rest here a bit." Gemini responded and rested his head on the benches. "You look tired." Fourth said with a worried tone. "Yeah I do. No worries. Buy me some Fourth." Gemini looked at Fourth and gave him some money. "Okay okay! I'll be back!" Fourth ran away. Gemini sighed and returned his head on the benches. The cloud is very pretty. Gemini closed his eyes. The wind was so refreshing that time. He could feel the wind rustling his hair.
"Hey Gem!" He opened his eyes, it was Prim. Prim was standing their smiling infront of him. "Hey Prim." Gemini smiled. "Why are you sleeping here?! We are here to play you know!" Prim sat next to Gemini touching his shoulders. "You'll are taking so long." Gemini sighed. "Your such a sleepy head! This is why I like you you know!" Gemini looked at Prim. "You liked me because I'm a sleepy head?" Gemini pointed his self. Prim laughed. "Forget about it!"
Fourth looked around his surroundings if there are open stores. Fourth finally saw an open store. "Hello!" Fourth shouted. "Hello young man. What do you want?" The lady said. "I want 2 ice creams please." Fourth smiled and tucked his hand to his pockets to get some money. "Here young man." The lady gave the ice cream. "Here's my payment. You can keep the change." He immediately gave the payment and ran. "Oh. Thank you young man!"

As Fourth was going back, he suddenly saw Gemini and Prim in the bench. Fourth walked back a little and hid his self. "Shit! Should I go or not?! I feel like I'm disturbing their moments..."
"oh shit. The ice cream is melting. Why am I feeling like this?" Fourth sat. He looked at the ice cream that is melting. He sighed of disbelief.

"Hey Fourth! What are you doing here?!" Mark shouted at Fourth. "Wh-What?!" He immediately stands up and his hands is wet, full of cream. "They're there! Oh. What are you holding?" Mark examined what's in his hand. "It's nothing! Let's go now!" Fourth immediately ran back. Mark also walk back. "Hey Fourth! Gemini said you were the 2nd one to come first! Where were you?" Tu said as he saw Fourth. "I had to do something important... sorry guys." Fourth apologize. "It's okay Fourth." Phuwin said. "Where are the ice creams Fourth?" Gemini said wondering. "Oh. Oum- there were no open shops! And I'll return your money on monday! I lost it!" Fourth said stuttering. "What? You were holding a white mil-" Fourth eventually covered Mark's mouth. "Th-That was Bird poop!!" Fourth said nervously. "WHAT?!" All of them except Fourth said. "Is that the hand..." Phuwin stuttering and pointing at the hand. "No! This one!" Fourth raised his hand that got "poop". "Here Fourth. You should wash that. Birds are cruel this days." Prim gave some water to Fourth so he could wash his hand. She smiled. "Thank you..."

As Mark and Gemini played badminton Fourth was sitting watching them. "What's up Fourth?" Phuwin asking worried. "I'm fine." Fourth said smiling. "You don't look fine tho." Phuwin said. "Yeah your definitely not fine Fourth." Pond joins drinking a water and Phuwin twitch his head to him. "You are worried to him?" Phuwin asked him. "Yeah." Pond answers and Phuwin looked away. "By the way Fourth, are you still staying here next school year?" Pahn asked. "Oh... I don't know yet but I'm hoping to stay here. My mother is the only problem." They looked at Fourth. "Why? It's okay if it's really serious-" Pahn said. "My mother lives in the province and I was born there. Me and my mother sometimes fight. She wants me to go back." Fourth said. "That's devastating Fourth. I didn't know your having a Mother issues... You can speak to us you know." Phuwin said worriedly. "I'll try. I'm just worried that you'll hate me-" Phuwin smacked his head. "Ouch!" Fourth said while caressing his head. "Don't you ever think that Fourth. Me, Satang and Ford are worried about you. We always wonder why you don't talk about your life or problems. We will never hate you Fourth. You are our friend, our Fourth." Phuwin said. "Your making me cry Phu!!!!" Fourth said wiping his small tears. "It's okay Fourth. Everything will be fine." Phuwin said then hugs Fourth genuinely.

Mark and Gemini keep playing until suddenly Gemini heared Fourth speaking. He stopped and didn't move.
"Gem! Gem! Hey!!!" Mark has called Gemini countless times already and he still didn't hear it. Mark saw Gemini was looking at Fourth and Phuwin. Mark caught these and saw how Gemini looked at Fourth. Gemini is having a worried eyes. Mark could see what's in Gemini's eyes.
Is he okay? Why is Phuwin hugging him? Did something happen? "Gemmmm!" Mark still called Gemini but he still didn't hear it. Mark stopped calling him and decided to get some water. Gemini saw Mark going towards Prim. "Oh. Mark! Why are you not playing now? You were so hype this morning-" Gemini said. "I'm losing my voice calling you!" Mark drank the water. "What?! Give me some too." Gemini ran.
