Destiny's Game

Chapter 10

"Are you okay, Phuwin?" Beer asked me as soon as our professor left the lecture hall.

"Yeah. I'm good. Why?"

"You looked lost, haggard and sick. Did you have another fever last night?"

"None. Just don't get enough sleep."

"Do you want to go back to the dorm early?"

"Nah. I'm good."

"Are you sure? You might have a fever again."

"Maybe not. I mean, I'm just tired not stressed."

"You know you have the privilege to rest anytime. The school gave it to you after what happened last month."

I smiled at Beer. "I'm good, Beer. You don't have to worry too much. I can still go on and finish our last subject today. Besides, if I can't do it anymore, I will not force myself. I am fully aware of the body's capacity and limitations."

"Okay. Let me know if you are not feeling well in advance okay."

"I will, Beer. Thanks."

"Let's go. Let's grab something at the cafeteria."

I nodded my head and immediately picked up my bag. Beer and I walked out of the room together.

We walk in silence until we arrive at the cafeteria. I choose to grab a meal so that I won't have to eat later when I get home. I also feel sleepy because I didn't sleep well last night. I want to sleep immediately after our class, that's why I will eat my dinner as early as this time.

While we were looking for a table, I checked my phone again. I heaved a sigh when I didn't even see any notification. No message or a post on social media from him or from my brother. I am not sure if they are busy or what. My brother mentioned nothing about school activities or events during our last video call.

"Waiting for someone's update?"

I looked at Beer. I smiled at him and shook my head slightly.

 "Kinda."

"Pond?"

"My twin."

"Sure? Why I can see in your eyes that you are waiting for an update from Pond."

"Misinterpreting someone's expression. is not good, Beer."

"I hope I am not misinterpreting you, Phuwin."

I just shook my head. I couldn't answer him anymore because he read me right. I'm looking forward to not only my brother's update, but also Pond's update. I want to know what is happening to him even though I pushed him away when he came to visit me here in the US. I want to know if he is okay at least in his posts on social media or in my partner's post. But, unfortunately, even my twin didn't update his social media. Our last conversation was last month. The ones I always talk to are my parents and Fot. But, I can't ask Fot.

I quietly finished my meal and Beer did the same. After we finished our food, we went back to our room for our next subject. 

"Phuwin" I looked at Beer as he called my name. 

"Why?" 

"Here." He handed his cell phone to me. I tilted my head and looked at him confusedly. 

"What do I do with your cell phone?"

"I asked something to my brother. Remember, P'Win is Pond's friend."
