Special Chapter 12 - Part 3

Tew's POV

'Tew, are you okay?'

'Yeah...'

'Why so quiet?'

I just shurgged. 

Kong looked at me and patted my back, 'I'm here if you need to talk.'

I nodded and smiled. 'Thanks.'

P'Nin was chatting up a storm with P'Knott. He kept glancing and looking at me through the rearview mirror. I kept avoiding looking at him. 

I leaned over to Kong, 'When did P'Knott get a faen?'

He shrugged and whispered back, 'Last week, she confessed, he isn't sure...so they're using this trip to get to know one another.'

'Oh...'

'He didn't tell you?'

I looked at Kong, 'Why should he?'

'Aren't you guys close?'

I raised my eyebrow, 'I'm just a close junior...'

'Tew, are you really okay?'

'Why do you keep asking me that?'

'Because you look like you're going to cry.'

'What? I'm just tired...'

I put my headphones back in to stop where this conversation was going. If Kong asked me one more time I might actually lose control over my emotions.

We got there in about three hours. P'Toota's uncle was talking to all the seniors and I left and went to the room. P'Nin waited for her friends in the lobby.

I went to the room, threw my luggage down and washed my face. I looked at myself in the mirror. I practiced a few expressions to make it look like I was okay. A few minutes later, P'Knott came to the room. 

'Tew, they want to go down to the beach right away.'

'Okay P.'

'Tew...'

'Hmm?'

'What's wrong? Are you not feeling well? Did you get car sick?' 

'I'm fine P.' 

I was having two different conversations. One physically with him and one in my mind.

No, I'm not okay. Please don't look at me like that. His dark intense eyes stared at me.

I flashed him my usual smile and looked away. There were times when I felt like P'Knott could read my mind. The man's sixth sense was something of a legend amongst the people who knew him. He was able to pick up on the smallest of cues and he would just know if something was wrong.

I wanted to keep away from him till I sorted my feelings. I was fully aware of them now. I needed to come to terms with them before I could talk to P'Knott properly without feeling or acting different than usual. 

I faced away from P'Knott as I took off my shirt and I could feel P'Knott's intense gaze making me feel exposed. I cursed at myself. I should have changed in the bathroom. But wouldn't that be even weirder?

Suddenly, I felt his finger touch my tattoo that went down the side of my back just as I was about to wear my shirt.
