Dare To Be Yours

Chapter 5: Campus moon

Yo's POV

We are now sitting in the auditorium, waiting for someone to come. Yes, we. I'm not talking about P'Ming though. He's still there by the front of the stage, busily taking pictures and chatting with the girls. I could only sigh, it looks tiring for me.

By we, I meant the fairy angel gang. Yes, they instantly signed up to be my friends. Do I sound unhappy? Of course not! It's just that, I think I don't seem to fit in with their group. They're so energetic, rambunctious, loud, wild, and full of life. Things that actually doesn't describe me.

Sure I'm friendly, kind, easy going and I'm quite energetic too sometimes, but I just actually act like it when Kit is around. Kit has been the only one who has been so close to me ever since. Now that we are not sharing the same classes anymore, I needed to make friends with others. I'm actually quite grateful the five of them immediately accepted me in their circle. They're really not that bad. It's just that they have this habit of bitching, cursing, and flirting with themselves and I think it won't be long for me to be involve with that soon.

Montree sat on my right with Redh(the girl) and Fatty(he's already obvious who he is, and he is a he by the way), while Zee and Jay(the twins) sat on my left. They are busily engaged in their own discussions while I just sat on my seat, trying to keep up. Just then our attention was called by a person who is standing in the middle of the stage with P'Ming beside him.

The person introduced himself as P'Ging, a bubbly, energetic and overly friendly senior and he is our faculty event coordinator. He asked us to keep silent because he has an important announcement to make.

"I know you guys are all curious as to why you are here instead of being in your classrooms, but I doubt that you like that idea anyway." he told us and most of us chuckled at his comment. "You are all here because today we are going to pick our faculty representatives for the upcoming Moon and Star competition."

I could hear the buzzing going around the auditorium while my newfound friends squealed and buzz on their seats. P'Ging had to use a megaphone to silence us again.

"If you guys want to know more about the competition, we have here our current campus moon, Engineer Mingkwan Daechapanya from the faculty of Engineering." P'Ging said as he gestured to P'Ming who waved and smiled at everyone.

More squealing and screaming erupted, my friends making the loudest of them(I think I already lost my hearing). I noticed how P'Ming basked himself in the attention and popularity he's getting. I scoffed at his expression and he caught it(how could he even find me from all of these people?), making him smirk. I rolled my eyes at him.

P'Ging had passed a mic to P'Ming and asked him to explain in details what the competition is all about. P'Ming cleared his throat and everyone fell silent.

"So basically, the competition is about every faculty representatives fighting for the title of being the campus moon and star. Why do they do it? Because if you win the competition, you get to win some fabulous awards. Aside from the awards, you could have the popularity and fame that could always get you into better circumstances. Just look at me right now." P'Ming boasted with an arrogant smile and many people screamed excitedly at him.

P'Ming finished explaining the benefits and advantages for joining the competition. Afterwards, P'Ging told us to choose who would be our representatives. Each major from our faculty is given the chance to pick a moon and a star representative. I leaned back on my chair, not wanting to participate at all. I know I'm already not interested in it(simply because I don't need it and I prefer to keep to myself), and I think I have better things to do than that.
