                    CHAPTER 3:

"5 days remained for sports day and teacher is taking a test tomorrow. How the hell i am suppose to focus on my practice for basketball!!" Pond exclaimed in anger.

Pond was one of the best basketball player in GMM high school and since it was sports week and they were competing with a new team he had to participate at any cost.

"Hey don't worry you had always managed it you can do it this time as well." Gun said while patting his back.

"Don't worry pond we'll do it anyway." Ennie added to assure him more.

"Well can i ask you that..are these test really that important?" Off questioned.

"Obviously they are, cause it helps us in our finals as well." Newwie was literally ready for the test and he had to make sure that he could secure 1st position even if it is class test.

.......

Next day after class test newwie was at library reading some books and tay also entered and when he saw newwie, he immediately went to him.

"Heyy! Rival what are you reading?" He said while distracting newwie.

Newwie kinda gets annoyed and says, "none of your business."

"Hey that's little harsh."

Tay just smiles.
"Then i won't bother you right now. meet you in the class for the result of class test." He winks at newwie and leaves.

Newwie closes the book in little frustration and after packing he heads toward his class.

The class starts and teacher enters with test papers in his hands.

"Ok so everyone! I checked all the papers and you made little progress and i am happy with the result. So who do you think came first?"
Teacher said.

"Ohh obviously our genius newwie is the first teacher. That's not even a question. "  one of the student said with confidence.

Everyone were literally sure cause newwie always secure fidst position in every test and every exam.

"Well..... the one who scored highest... 99 out of 100 is....Tay tawan." Teacher said while clapping but the whole class gasped and went silent.

Everybody looked at newwie and he was literally shocked.

Teacher reads the room and to assure him he said, "heyy it's just class test. And also you did better."

But even tho it was just class test newwie felt he was thrown from a building. It was the first time in his life that someone defeated him.
Teacher gave paper to everyone and newwie's score was 97.

Tay turned backward and looked toward newwie's direction.
Newwie also looked at him with full rage in his eyes and what pissed him the most was tay's smirk.
He broke the pencil he was holding. Not only Gun, pond, ennie but off and winny also got to know how pissed newwie was.

The class ended and newwie took his bag and left without talking.
Everyone could understand why he was so mad.

Of course it was such a rare news that newwie got 2nd place so it was all over the school.
It wouldn't have been this much dramatic but in his whole life newwie came 2nd for the first time so it turned out like that.

"Whatt?? My brother got 2nd place in class test?" Satang was so shocked.

Not only satang even fot and dunk were wordless.
"But still isn't it good to be 2nd like that's not bad." Phuwin said cluelessly.

"Yes it's not bad but the one who got 2nd is THE genius P'New. This is the first time ever he got 2nd place." Dunk put his hand on his mouth exclaiming how shock he was.

"And i heard the new student... what's his name? Ahhh tay got 1st place." Fot said.

"Who the hell even is he? He defeated my brother?" Satang said angrily

"Well he is our cousin." Gemini said awkwardly.

Everyone's jaw dropped. Satang took a long breathe and thanked god that he didn't said any further.

Newwie was sitting in the corner of the school's rooftop grabbing the paper so hard.
Tay, who was searching newwie came to rooftop and saw him. Even tho tay teases newwie he still feels kinda bad for him.

He goes near newwie.
"Umm... are you alright?" Tay asked.
Newwie took a long breathe and said, "umm i'm okay actually i kinda understand why i couldn't score highest cause i am weak in algebra.
So, 3 points were cut due to algebric equation." Newwie said with a little smile in his face while looking at test paper.

Tay who was looking at newwie suddenly said, "you should smile more often you look cute while smiling."

Newwie got shocked at tay's word and suprisingly looked at tay.
"What?"

Tay turns his head saying, "Nothing. Well then i won't feel sorry cause i thought you were angry just because i defeated you."

Newwie chuckeled.
"Actually i am also angry that you defeated me but i think it will be fun now that i know your capacity and having a rival would also help me to reflect on my weakness."

Tay only could look at him and wonder how amazingly newwie took the situation.

They both went silent for few times.
But suddenly tay grabbed a cigaratte and a lighter from his pocket.
Newwie was totally shock.

Tay lights and starts smoking.

"Are you fucking mad? Why are you smoking? And that in school." Newwie got up in shock.

Tay just continued.
"Well obviously cause it relieves me from any stress."

"But aren't you just 18? And how come you don't know it could almost kill you if you continue for years?"
Newwie was still in shock.

"Hey! Stop it already ok." Tay smiled and continued like that.

"I will complain this to school's principal" newwie took his step but stopped when tay said, "ok go and say it. But who would believe that the student who defeated THE genius newwie was smoking? Everyone will think you said cause you were jealous." Tay smirked.

Well newwie felt it right cause who would even believe that.

"You're just a scumbag!!!" Newwie screamed and left angrily.
Tay drops the cigar and pressed it from his foot and watches newwie leaving until he disappears.

.............

It's already friday and after two the sprots week would start.
Everyone who were participating in the sports were practicing and were getting ready.
Phuwin, satang and dunk from junior class were assigned to be volunteers to provide water to participants that were practicing.

They knock on the door where basketball team were resting.
Pond opens the door and infront of him and he saw phuwin.
They met for the first time and their eyes meets each other.
It was like they instantly fell for each other and was love at first sight?
But suddenly phuwin broke the eye contact and says, "we're here to provide you water phi."

He said politely but got nervous eventually.
Pond takes the water bottles but his eyes couldn't left phuwin.

"Are you new here? I never saw you before." Pond asked suddenly.

Before phuwin could speak, satang said, "yes phi he is new admission and his cousin is studying in your class. The new topper guy."

"Oh you're tay's cousin?"

"Then we'll take a leave." Phuwin was shy to say any further.
They left the room and the way pond smiled he knew he found the one.
