Chapter 50: Between Us

Proofreader: SMV2454

In the past few days, strange things have been happening to me. No, actually, it's more like they've been happening to Phum, but I've been affected by them completely.

Phum has been coming back home late without any reason.

Usually, I'm the one who comes back late, or sometimes I don't come back at all because I have assignments to do.  If I finish my classes first, I would go pick up Phum at his faculty, and we would go back together. But if Phum finishes first, he would come to my faculty to wait for me so we could go back together. But now, that's not the case. During the past week, Phum has been disappearing for no reason.  I've had to go back to the condo alone for almost a week now. I've had to do reports, draw pictures, and wait for Phum until almost midnight every night.

I'm not sure if we're fighting or not, but what's certain is that I'm really annoyed right now. I don't understand what's happening. I just know that suddenly we're talking less, suddenly Phum doesn't have time for me, and I'm feeling hurt because he's not telling me anything. When I ask, he just says it's nothing, just doing reports and labs. It's against his nature because no matter how busy he was, he would always tell me first.

I've always trusted and believed in Phum, but this time he's acting suspiciously and making my trust in him... start to waver. The atmosphere between us has become tense and gloomy, making me uncomfortable. But when I don't talk to him, he doesn't try to make up either.

And today, I have to go draw outside. It's like the professor finished his class just to make things worse for me, ordering us to sit and draw the scenery in front of the engineering building. There's no scenery worth drawing at all. I don't even want to be near it. Fine, Peem can be moody too, you know.

[T/n: Yeah, there's nothing worth watching in the engineering faculty.]

"Peem, hey Peem, what's wrong? You're so spaced out you look silly. What's up?" Q poked my cheek with a paintbrush, making me ticklish. If I get a pimple, it'll be your fault. I'm already in a bad mood, should I snap at you?

"I'm fine. Can you stop pestering me? Damn."

"I just..."

"Are you done with your drawing? Why are you so nosy about other people's business? Whatever is wrong with me, I'm still your friend, you idiot."

"Uh..."

"Fuck, damn, buffalo (ควาย-stupid), lizard (เหี้ย Hia-bastard)..." This sentence lacks a subject, verb, and object but not emotion. I've fully transformed.

"Whoa! Are you opening a zoo? The animals are about to eat me alive."

"I'm annoyed."

"Is your period coming?"

My hand and mouth are equally quick. The largest paint tube flew straight to Q's head, hitting the mark perfectly. He screamed and held his head. What a drama queen. It's just a paint tube, but he's acting like he got hit with a wooden stick. Such a wimp.

"Hey, Q, Peem, what are you guys doing here? Don't tell me you're hitting on engineering students, haha." Tan and his group of friends arrived just in time. Great.

"What the heck? I'm here to draw your faculty building. Good timing, tell your dean if your faculty is so rich, share some budget with ours. Why build such a huge building? The students are all idiots anyway."

Why did you have to come at the wrong time? I'm in a bad mood. My mouth was hanging open. Tan's friends blinked in confusion, looking sheepish. Never seen this side of me, huh? I'm an original badass.
