chasing after him[VEGASPETE]

chapter 6 - pete

'adorable'

when i hear him mumble these words, my eyes go wide.

there's silence for a while, as he stares at me.

THWACK!

i suddenly feel pain on my back, like someone just smacked it real hard.

i look behind me.

"oww phi why did you do that?" i say to a 4th year senior.

"phi are you okay?" vegas says looking worried, as he rubs my back gently. then glares at the senior.

"oh nong dont be so dramatic i just hit him lightly. isn't that right pete?"the senior says looking smugly at me.

i do not wish to have any problems with a senior so i just take vegas's hands and stand up to leave .

"lets go we have work to do" i tell vegas and start leaving, but the senior suddenly grasps my shoulders.

"ah nong no need to be so prickly. i just wanted to say that everyone working on this volunteer project are going to have dinner together later. so i will text you guys the details. you need to attend alright?" he says smiling weirdly at me.

i just nod and leave with vegas.

 
---------------

coming here was a mistake.

i hate noisy places.

atleast vegas is here to keep me company.

sigh.. never thought there could have been a day that i would be grateful for vegas's presence.

but he went to the washroom, when is he getting back? is he taking a shit or what.

suddenly i feel a tap behind me and i get startled.

"vegas what took you-" i say annoyed as i turn around slowly.

"oh nong calm down why dont you join us at our table" that senior spoke puting his arms around me.

i smile at him, with my eye twitching.

why is this bastard again here?

i shake his hand off of me.

"sorry phi i dont really drink" i say politely, hoping him to just take the hint.

"ah come on nong you can't NOT drink at a party" he says filling up my glass with alcohol.

"but phi its just a get-together dinner" i say pushing the glass back.

"too late, this phi already filled your glass for you, so what are you gonna do about that now huh?" he says, his tone sounding harsher than before.

ugh whatever lets just get this shit over with.

i take the glass, hesitating.

suddenly someone takes the glass from my hands.

i turn to look at them .

"vegas? what are you-"i get cut off in between by vegas.

"phi i can drink for him right?" vegas doesnt even stop to hear his response as he chugs down the glass.

'haaa' he makes a sound as he finishes.

the senior looks really red right now. seems like he might explode any second now.

like this the senior tried to get me to drink atleast 4 more times, but everytime vegas drank for me, and eventually they gave up.

after a while i told them i had curfew so needed to head home, which was ofcourse a lie but i needed to get vegas out of there.
