You & Me [Completed]

Arthit

I got my wrist looked at. The school nurse sent me straight to the hospital. It was a fracture, and my wrist was encased in a cast. Fuck. It had to be on for the next 3 weeks. I sighed.

I got back to my dorm around midnight. I got to my door only to find Lam waiting outside there. What was he doing here?

I walked up to my dorm, and he heard the footsteps, turning to see me.

"P..."

"What are you doing here, Nong?"

"I.. came to see you. Are you ok? What did the doctor say?"

"I'm good. It's just a fracture. It will heal soon. But what are you doing here? You should go back to your room already."

"Just a fracture?! P, that sounds... what else did the doctor say? How long will you have..."

I cut Lam off.

"I am fine. Now please go back."

"P I am just concerned for you. Please. You hurt yourself because of me. Let me please look.."

"It's fine. You are my junior. I would have done that for anyone in that situation."

Before Lam could say anything else, I just stepped around him and entered the room, just shutting the door on him!

I wasn't lying when I said I would do that for anyone because they should not be in that situation. But I also knew that if anyone had come to check on me, I would not have cut them off like I did to Lam.

I just didn't want to put myself out there for him anymore and risk hearing such hurtful stuff. Lam knocked on my door a few times, but I completely ignored him. Just before I heard him walk away, a message came through on my phone.

All it said was, "Thank you for putting yourself out there for me today, P. Please rest well."

I just sighed as I read the message, but I didn't reply back to him. For the next 3 weeks, I cut down on my physical activities significantly as I had to rest my wrist. In case any of you thought I was one of those mad Engineering wolves, I wasn't. I was a smart one who knew when to rest and also because i knew I had to look after myself as no one else would.

Minus one very pesky junior who kept coming to see me daily, but I just kept ignoring him successfully. It was a Friday post school, and I came home around 7 pm to find Lam waiting yet again for me.

"Why are you here again?! Can't you take a hint? Are you stupid or what?!"

I deliberately yelled at Lam, hoping to make him angry, lose his shit and leave.
However, all he did was just pass me the food he had brought and left. I sighed as I looked at it. I saw him walking away, and to really kill his efforts, I just tossed the food into the nearest rubbish bin. That was probably a low move on my part; as I watched Lam stop, stunned at what I did. But he turned, came back, and quickly retrieved the food from the bin. I gaped at what he did, stunned. What was he up to?

He finally looked at me.

"I know you are probably trying to teach me a lesson to just stay away from you. And ok, I will, not because I want to but because you have resorted to doing things that you wouldn't normally do just so to teach me a lesson. I guess I have been extremely annoying. But I am just going to take this food back because it is something I had asked my mom to prepare for you as I was not sure what you liked to eat. I know you don't know so I tell you now but I don't feel good wasting her efforts so I will take it back."

I stared dumbfounded at Lam as he walked away.

Right, I guess asshole of the year can officially belong to me now. Shit.
