Club

The next morning, Tine woke up to the insistent sound of his alarm clock. With a yawn, he turned over in bed, wishing for just five more minutes of sleep. But the thought of the Scrubb concert pushed him to get out of bed. After a quick shower and a fast breakfast, he headed to the university.

Upon arriving at the campus, he met Phuak, Fong, and Ohm near the main entrance.

"Good morning, sleepyhead," Phuak greeted him with an ironic smile. "Ready for the day?"

Tine yawned. "More or less. I hope the classes go by quickly."

Fong chuckled. "We all do, Tine. But we have to survive the day before we can enjoy the concert."

The boys parted ways to head to their respective classrooms. Tine entered his class, finding the usual morning chaos. Students were chatting with each other, some were still half-asleep, while others were already deeply immersed in their books.

Tine sat in his seat by the window, hoping to catch another nap before the lesson started. As he was about to rest his head on the desk, he heard some guys discussing the various university clubs.

"Hey, Tine, have you decided which club to join yet?" a classmate asked, approaching his desk.

Tine shrugged, trying to hide his indifference. "I haven't thought about it yet. Maybe I'll decide later."

Another guy chimed in. "The music club is getting a lot of attention, especially with today's concert."

Tine nodded, trying to seem interested. "Yeah, I've heard. Scrubb is playing, right?"

"Apparently so. But it's also thanks to Sarawat that there's so much interest," the guy added.

Other classmates gathered around Tine's desk. One of them joked, "Well, I believe it! With all the fans he's got..."

The boys chuckled as some girls in the class turned towards them after hearing the name "Sarawat."

At that moment, the teacher entered the classroom, ending the conversations. "Good morning, everyone," he said in an authoritative tone. "Take your seats and open your books to page 102."

Tine sighed and leaned on the desk, trying to find a comfortable position. The lesson started, and the teacher began talking about topics Tine found boring and irrelevant. His mind wandered back to the moment he saw Sarawat the previous evening.

As the professor lectured, Tine tried to focus, but his thoughts kept returning to that chiseled face and the overwhelming feeling of warmth. "Why did he affect me so much?" he wondered, trying to shake off those strange emotions.

Time seemed to pass slowly, and Tine found himself staring at the clock, counting down the minutes until the lesson ended. Finally, the bell rang, and Tine stood up quickly, gathering his books.

He exited the classroom, finding Phuak and Ohm waiting for him. "So, are you dead or what?" Ohm asked with a smile, then added, "Maybe a zombie, don't you think?" giving him a pat on the back.

"Yeah, barely," Tine replied, stretching. "I can't wait for it to end."

Phuak nodded. "Yes, it's going to be a great evening. But first, we need to make sure we all don't fall asleep during classes."

The boys laughed and headed towards the cafeteria for a drink. Tine tried to focus on his friends' conversations, but part of his mind kept thinking about Sarawat, wondering if that guy was really as tough and stubborn as he seemed.

The group of friends sat at a table in the crowded cafeteria, joking and laughing together. Fong came to their table too, since he just got out of his class.
