Phum's basketball game is over, and now it's time to cram for exams. Chan and Fang showed up looking like zombies. I heard Fang almost burned his house down, haha. Tan had to help him with his project plan.

[smv2454: These are the kind of situations where I want to have a partner... But the very course doesn't give me the time to have one 🥲😭]

Today was an auspicious day, we decided to have a study session at my house. Why my house? Because they said they wanted a study environment close to nature, so they chose my place.

But honestly, from what I see, I think the real reason is that my house has free coffee and pastries 24/7. Plus, Chan and Beer were charming P'Ning and P'Aom so much that they even got delivery service from the back of the shop to my front door.

I think they didn't come to study; they came to play and eat. Pan said he would study international law with Beer, but within an hour, he went crazy, lost his temper, and started yelling around the house.

"Why are you guys studying? Be careful, or you'll get smart, and the country will develop. Stop studying!" He wasn't content with being lazy alone; he even tried to drag his friends down with him.

Then suddenly, he had a vision that he wanted to be Spiderman because he brought the Spider-Man suits that P'Pin, his sister, bought for him from England. But knowing Pan, he probably ordered P'Pin to buy it for him.

(Pan has two older sisters and one younger brother, making four siblings in total. Phi Pin, Phi Pat, and Nong Pluem seem normal, but Pan is the most unique.)

Pan got the suit, right? The black one where Peter Parker turns evil in the third movie and the regular red and blue one. He gave one to Mick, and they went to climb trees (because they couldn't climb houses or buildings) to find bird eggs to eat. Then they slipped and fell from the tree. Hahaha, it was hilarious. Spiderman fell from a tree.

When we ran to check on them, Pan even made a hand gesture like he was shooting webs at us. It looked more like he was disabled. I don't know how crazy my friends will get. We quickly took pictures to upload on Facebook to embarrass them, haha.

[smv2454: 🤣]

After those two had played to their heart's content, they came inside to lie down in the air conditioning, setting the temperature to ten degrees. Are you planning to raise penguins or what? I'm freezing!!!

Tan and Fang didn't really interact with anyone. They just sat there feeding each other chicken, all lovey-dovey. I felt like kicking them into the water*. Toey and Matt somehow got hold of some firecrackers and were setting them off in front of the house. Hey, did someone in your family die or what?**
[*Peem was cursing them Ai Hia - monitor lizards.
**Firecrackers are sometimes used in Thai funerals, especially among those of Chinese descent in Thailand. The use of firecrackers is believed to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck.]

The shithead guys, Phum, Beer, Chan, and Q, were...

"Yes! Eight backs, three bounces, I win! Haha, I'm rich!" Q, the gambling master who never loses at cards, was shouting with joy, unlike Chan, Beer, and Phum, who were all sulking.

"Don't let me find out you're cheating, you jerk." Chan threw money at Q, who grabbed it and kissed it, making such a smug face that Chan couldn't stand it and kicked him. Haha, even smart Chan couldn't outsmart Q.

"You're cheating, Q." said Phum. It seems that someone who's good at everything has a problem with gambling because he always loses, even if Q isn't cheating. He even loses to me!
