Chapter 4

SANTA

'Santa! Can you see the door, please? I am busy!' said Mom.
'Okay!' I replied.
I run downstairs from my room to see who's there.
I open the door only to find Phi'Boom and Phi'Aou.
The way Phi'Boom is holding Phi'Aou it's very clear that Phi'Aou is drunk.
Again.
Santa : Hi Phi! Is he fine?
Boom : Oh yeah he is okay. He got himself drunk again.
Santa : Ohhh. Thank you for dropping him here.
Boom : Welcome. And yeah if he asks who came to drop him, tell him it was Louis. Bye!
Santa : Uh okay, bye.

'Oh phi, you got yourself drunk again.' I say.
He wakes up and says 'Hmm? Santa! I love you so much my little brother! Leave me, leave me, I will go myself!'
While trying to get to his room.
He is about to fall so I help him.
I guess he sleeps fine, I don't know.

THE NEXT DAY

I wake up to the sound of my phone ringing.
It's some notifications.
What the heck!!
82 messages?! And 41 missed calls!
From Phi' View?!
I call her back.
Santa : Phi! What happened?!
View : Santa! Do you know what happened yesterday? Check the video I sent you.
Santa : Uhhh okay. But why did you call so many times?!
View : When you will see my message, you will understand why.
Santa : Uhh okay. Bye!!

I check the messages.
Most of them are just telling me to pick up her call.
There is a video.
I click it.
WHAT?! IT'S OF PHI'AOU KISSING PHI'BOOM?!
Phi' View said it's of yesterday, so Phi'Aou kissed Phi'Boom yesterday?!
That's so unreasonable.
They have been friends for years.
I must ask Phi about it myself.
I run to his room and climb to his bed.
I wake him up and ask 'Phi?! What did you do yesterday?!'
He sits up and says 'Huh? What did I do?'
I open the video and show it to him.
Santa : This is what you did! You kissed Phi'Boom!!
Aou : Huh?!
Santa : Phi'View sent me this video! She said it's of yesterday?!
Aou : What?! Santa get off me! I must rush to university now!
Santa : Uh okay.
He gets off his bed and runs to the bathroom.
What the heck is going on?

I go to the school.
Today is Perth's test.
Well not only his but mine too.
I am more tensed about him though.
I find him in the hallway walking. Looking at his phone.
I pull him towards me.
'Mother fu-' he says.
When he notices it's me he continues calmly 'Oh. It's you'
Santa : Yeah it's me. And what's up with the fact you were swearing on me, huh?
Perth : Oh, I thought it was someone random.
Santa : Hmm whatever. Anyway today is the test. Have you practised?
Perth : Oh yeah totally. I have practised.
Santa : So you're getting full?
Perth : No. Not at all. Till I am passing in the test, it's fine.
Santa : You're a wierd guy. Anyways this Saturday, it's new years. Remember?
Perth : Oh yeah, I know.
Santa : I am having a party at my place on Friday. My brother asked me to invite some people. Guess what? I hardly know anyone from school. So yeah it's you whom I invite. Can you be there?
Perth : Oh I can. I don't usually work on Friday and Saturday anyway.
Santa : Cool. Get your friends too there.
Perth : Who all will be there?
Santa : My brother and his friends. He is friends with like the whole university so expect alot.
Perth : Alcohol will be there I hope?
Santa : Oh yes. There will be.

That's when the bell rings meaning it's TEST TIME.
'Uh let's go for the test' he says.
I nod.

PERTH

'Guys! Guys! Guys! Guess what?!' I saw while running towards them.
Book who was apparently sleeping, wakes up and asks 'What now? Something happened with your boyfriend?'
Perth : Yeah! You know what he told me?
Pond : So you accept he is your boyfriend?
Perth : Hey no!
Dunk : Aww. Little Perth said the truth, huh??
Perth : Shut up, you all!
Book : Okay, okay. What did he do?
Perth : He invited me to a party. New years party. You all will be there too?
Dunk : Did he invite us?
Perth : Yes, he said me to be with my friends.
Pond : Who else will be there?
Perth : He said his brother's friends from university.
Book : So from school, you're the only one he invited?
Perth : Yes, he said he doesn't know anyone else.
Pond : He lied. I invited only you because he is into you. He loves you so much!
Perth : Oh shut up!

AOU

'Gun! Gun! Gun!' I say while rushing towards him.
'Hey relax! Catch your breath first! What happened?!' He replies.
Aou : Where is Boom?
Gun : Must be in class.
Aou : So you know where Film is?
Gun : Oh, she might be in the cafeteria.
Aou : Ohkay, thanks bye!

I run towards the cafeteria.
I must ask her about what happened yesterday.
All I remember is kissing Boom and nothing else.
Maybe I should drink less, it always gets me going mad.

'Film!' I say as I sit at her table.
She is sitting with Namtan - her girlfriend.
Film : Heyy!! I was talking with my girl here. What happened?
Aou : I am very sorry. Hi Namtan! Film I wanted to ask you what happened yesterday.
Namtan : Film, I will get food for both of us, Aou you want something?
Aou : Uh no thanks, I am fine.
Namtan : Ohkay, Film I will get your usual.

Namtan goes to the counter.
Aou : Film, where is Boom?
Film : I don't know. Probably in his interior designing class.
Aou : Ohkay and yeah, what happened yesterday?
Film : Don't you know what happened yesterday?
Aou : I remember kissing Boom, rest everything is blur.
Film : Well we were playing truth and dare so you got a dare to kiss Boom by View however just when she was about to change the dare, you kissed Boom.
Aou : Then?
Film : Then Boom and Louis took you home.
Aou : Ohkay. You know what, I don't actually mind the fact that I kissed Boom.
Film : Huh?
Aou : I mean it was good. I remember it. Even if I was not completely in my sense I do remember it, and it was so damn good. I wouldn't mind doing it again.
Film : Do you know it was his first kiss?
Aou : Wait, really?!
Film : Yes. He has never kissed anyone. He has never dated anyone. You stole his first kiss, Aou.

Namtan comes back so I go away.
Really? It was his first kiss?
Now I regret it.
I shouldn't have done that. How bad he must be feeling.
I must meet him, right now.

BOOM

Uff. Interior designing was difficult today.
Nevermind.
I hear my phone ringing.
It's Film on the call so I pick it up.
Film : Boom! Listen to me. Aou is coming to you.
Boom : Huh?! Why?!
Film : I don't know. I just called you so when you see him you don't die blushing.
Boom : Oh okay I will handle myself. Bye!
Film : Hey! He also said he didn't mind when he kissed you and actually liked it.
Boom : Wait, really?! Ohkay well I will see to it and tell you everything, bye!

Oh my god. I am PANICKING.
It's been hardly 12 hourse since Aou pressed his lips to mine and I AM FREAKING OUT.
God, my heart is racing so fast, what will happen now?
Will things be awkward between us?
No, I don't want that.
I see him coming.
I pull out my phone and try to act like I didn't notice him, even if I actually did.
Aou comes to me.
'Hey Boom' he says.
Just one look from him is making me red, can he notice it on my face.
'Hi' I reply.
What will he talk about to me?
He lowers himself to the floor keeping his hand together.
Boom : Aou! What are you doing?
Aou : Boom! I am so so sorry! So sorry for stealing your first kiss!
Boom: Aou! Get up first then we can talk!

He gets up and apologises.
Aou : Boom, seriously I am very sorry! Truly sorry, I didn't know it was your first kiss, moreover I was drunk also
Boom : Have I said that I am angry on you for what you did? No, right? I know you were drunk and it's totally fine.
Aou : Wait, really?
Boom : Yeah, I don't mind it, like at all. It's fine.
Aou : So we're cool?

I chuckle and reply 'Yeah ofcourse'.

PERTH

'I don't like him.I don't like him.I don't like him.' I mutter to myself.
Dunk apparently sees me doing this wierd thing.
Dunk : Perth, Are you okay?
Perth : I don't know!
Dunk : What are muttering to yourselves? What happened?
Perth : Will you tease me if I say it?
Dunk : You like Santa, right?
Perth : Wait, how do you know?
Dunk : It's so obvious Perth. Even Pond and Book know, they are just waiting to hear it from you.
Perth : What should I do?! He's my tutor!
Dunk : You should tell him you like him, now don't say you don't have the guts, cause I know you have them.
Perth : Are you serious?
Dunk : Yes! Perth this year your classes are together. Next year they might get shuffled. Who knows. Your tutor will also change. How will you get forward then?
Perth : Yeah, you're right. But how should I tell him I like him?
Dunk :  Today, after your session.

I breath heavily.
'Okay'
