Always Keep Looking [ oneshot ]

Always keep looking

There it was again. The strange prickly feeling of being stared at.

Phana was used to people staring at him. They always did, ever since school, but there was something different about this particular one.

He can't exactly pin point how or why, it just was. Maybe, that was because of it being more intense, or meaningful or both.

But there was no way to stop it, because the source of it was unknown.

He scored a 3 pointer and there was a loud cheer from the crowd. He looked around to spot it, but it was difficult.

He couldn't locate the source, but he did feel it when it went away.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Phana was studying in the library. He felt it again. He looked around, but in vain.

He could tell there was nothing sinister about it. It was just neutral?

He sighed and got up. He had been thinking too much about that person.

He was flipping through books, between 2 book shelves. He picked one and turned around, and almost collided with a person. He was short, with pale skin and red cheeks. He immediately looked away.

Something told Phana that he was the culprit.

The said person quickly mumbled sorry and dashed away.

-----------------------------------------------------------

It had been 2 weeks since it started and 1 week since Phana knew the identity of that person.

But he didn't do anything about it. For reasons, even unknown to him.

Just like now, he could feel him sitting in the cafe. And if he turned right, he could spot him, but he didn't.

Instead, He pretended to be unaware, because any movement from phana will drive  him away.

But despite that, Phana did notice few things about him. He was a senior, an engg student and he was cute.

Phana smirked. If he was into guys, he would have given him a chance.

-----------------------------------------------------------

It was on a whim that Phana came to engg department. Not exactly a whim, he came here to meet his friend Forth.

He was chatting with the second years, and he couldn't feel it. But as soon as the third years came, it was there again, the gaze.

"Oy Arthit, your hubby is here", he heard someone say loudly.

He turned around and saw that person chasing another one.

Hmmm....so his name is Arthit, a third year. Interesting.

-----------------------------------------------------------

It was not in his mind really. And it was not his intention either. But he doesn't know what madness possessed him to accept Pring's confession.

She was hot, the prettiest girl in college, smart and friendly, maybe that's why.

And like a wildfire, the news spread all over the college. And it was exactly that time it stopped, whatever it was.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Phana was in the library, but he couldn't concentrate.

He knew Arthit was there too, because he followed Arthit here. But he couldn't feel his gaze upon him.

Then Pring came and joined him. He noticed Arthit going away and suddenly got this strong urge to stop him.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Phana was sitting in his usual cafe, but something was amiss.

He looked around, everything was same, the cafe, his iced tea, his friends. The usual morning.

Only he was not there. Phana wondered, what happened to him.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Phana was playing basketball with his friends, when he felt an intense gaze upon him.

Hopefully, he looked around, but saw Pring watching him.

And as soon as he spotted her, she made her way over, and for some reason, it annoyed Phana.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Phana was sitting in the cafeteria, feeling lost and kept sighing.

"What's the matter with you?", Asked Kit.

"Nothing"

"Why do you keep sighing then?"

"I don't know, for some reason, I feel like I miss something"

Kit and beam looked at each other.

"Something or someone?"

"What do you mean?"

"For getting a pretty girlfriend, you don't look happy, why is that?"

Hmmm....why indeed?

"Besides, didn't it stop the stalker guy from staring at you",added Beam.

"But you are not happy about that", observed Kit.

"It's just that, when he was there, I didn't mind. But now that he is not there, I do mind", confessed Phana.

"Why do you think that is?", Kit said

"Are you sure he was the only one looking?", Beam smiled.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Phana found himself again in the engineering department, trying to figure out what exactly is happening to him.

And When Arthit came, Phana noticed him right away. He was walking with his group of Friends. His friends were teasing him by pointing to someone.

Ultimately, Arthit went to that guy to talk about something and blushed prettily.

Phana felt a strange bitter feeling engulfing him. What the hell!! Even though I am here. Even though am standing right in front of him. He gave his attention to that fellow.

And then, Arthit laughed, and that was enough for Phana. Like a raging bull, he approached them, grabbed Arthit's hand and pulled him along with him.

He dragged him to an empty classroom, held his face and said angrily,

" You can only look at me!!"

"You should only look at me!!"

He rested his forehead against Arthit's and said softly,

"Will you only look at me?"

"But you have Pring."

" That was my mistake, I already broke up with her"

"But weren't you the one, who looked away", Arthit pouted.

"What are you talking about ? I never ever looked away"

Hearing that, Arthit smiled.
