Tasting my own medicine

Ch 6 - No more games

PHANA

My lecturer pat my back to wake me up, I was lying face down on my desk, all the other students were staring at me in disbelief, I could hear Kit and Beam sniggering though, I turned around and looked at them sharply. Beam stared at his fingers nails and Kit flicked through his notebook, both avoiding my stern gaze.

My lecturer cleared her throat and snatched my quiz from the desk, walking away she mumbled.

"This boy needs to stop acting like a Love sick puppy".

Walking out of class my feet felt heavy, my life had no meaning, I wanted to curl up and die, the sky was blue but my mood was darker then a stormy cloud.

Placing a gentle hand on my shoulder Kit said,

"Pha, you need to eat, you didn't eat much at lunch, lets go to your favourite sushi place na"

Beam grabbed my bag that I was dragging along the corridor and said,

"My treat, let us have a crazy Dr gang time, like the old days"

Kit nod his head like the cute hamster he is and Beam smiled as he pressed his car keys to unlock the door, placing my bag at the back.

I smiled as I got in, at least my friends cared about me. I guess they weren't as bad as I thought. My stomach growled at the thought of Sushi, Yo promised me he would ring later. I have to learn to be more patient with him.

Shhh, don't tell anyone but I'm most afraid Yo will leave me because I'm so possessive, but I can't help it, he's my precious boy, his smile lights me up and I constantly want to keep him close. I don't remember what living was before I meet him, I was just breathing. Living is waking up to the one you love every morning snuggled in your arms, seeing only you in their eyes, wanting to grow old together but still be childish and silly. Yo was my life and if anyone hurt him, including myself I could never forgive them or myself.

Just as Kit and Beam fastened their seatbelts both their phones went off.

My mouth went into a thin line and virtual steam was coming out of my ears, I scrunched the papers I was holding in my hands in anger.

"Forth not now, Pha is not in a good way, let me feed him up and I'll come see you later, love you too"

"Ming, if you think I'm leaving Pha to help you buy new shoes, what is wrong with them, look I'm not wearing couple trainers with you, good bye, I'll see you later"

I slumped my shoulders, was I being too possessive of my friends too, looking at Beam next to me and Kit sitting at the back, Kit smiled and nod his head, Beam pat my back and smiled too. True friendship, grinning I said,

"What are you guys staring at, my stomach is growling, lets go eat before Yo accuses me of not looking after myself , he'll nag me to death"

As we drove off a sudden tingling went down my spine, like a feeling of a bad omen.
I ignored it and pushed the window down letting the breeze cool my temples and thought about all the times I use to stuff my Yo with his favourite sushi and watch his mochi cheeks move.

I smiled, yes I was a possessive buffalo who was whipped by my cute and naughty boyfriend, yes he turned on the waterworks to manipulate me sometimes and dammit it always worked , don't think I don't know. I'm still a silly LoveSick genius, but I was happily in love, studying for my future, surrounded by friends and family, really my life was pretty sweet. I wished to pause my life and keep it as it is, because it's really perfect. I might grumble and complain but really, I need to count my blessings, as you never know what fate has in store for you.

WAYO

These last of the  samples were taking to long to list in order, the heat of the stuffy tent was stifling and I grabbed my water bottle to drain the last of my lukewarm water. The fairy angels where out collecting samples from the forest with others, while at base camp, we were working in the labs.

Patting my back my lecturer said " Take a break Yo, you've been working non stop without a lunch break, your Dad will be proud, you have a real talent for this, let the others take in charge of the samples now"

I smiled, I wanted to make my Dad proud, he always anxious I wouldn't be able to work or build a career for myself, he was constantly worried for my future, so I had to prove to him, I was more than capable.

Lets not mention my silly buffalo, smiling form ear to ear, I loved his warm hugs, the way he whispered my name as he gently stroked hair while I slept in his arms, the way he worried about the little things in my life, just everything, he was my everything for as long as I could remember. My life was rich and interesting not because of my fathers wealth but because it was full of rich characters like my friends and family who loved and adored me. If this was my life for the next 20 or 30 yrs then I was content.

Walking up to the water cooler to fill my water bottle, I waved at Nate and the gang as they were coming back from collecting the last of the samples, grabbing a load of energy bars and stuffing them in my pockets I ran up to them.

" Yo, your friends are heading back to there tent, they complained all the way there and back", said Nate scrawling.

Narrowing my eyes I looked at them with my hands on my hips and shouted.

" You guys are fairy angels in name only, stop being lazy and go help the camp cook with dinner"

" But Yo, its too hot, my hair is terrible"
" Yo, I forgot to pack my sunscreen, my complexion is ruined"
" Look at my nails they are horrendous, I'm gonna cry"

I pointed to the kitchen area, "stop complaining and get to work, this is a camp not a beach holiday".

Dejected they hung their heads in shame and scampered off to the kitchen area, but they instantly smiled when they saw how handsome the cooks were and started flirting, SIGH they will never change.

Turning to Nate, "Did you get the last of the samples".

" I'm just checking, I think I dropped one as I was dealing with Fatty when he jumped on me thinking he saw a snake"

" Don't worry, I'm just going for a walk and I'll go see if I can find it"

"Thanks Yo"

Waving her off I went along the same path admiring the view, I examined a few plants and rubbed my hands along ancient centuries old trees, people needed to take care of the planet more, Dad was always looking at environmentally friendly ways to run his business, his dream was to have a business that had zero emissions and carbon free, which was difficult being in motoring business, thats why I choose biology I wanted to help Dad with his  and now my dream.

Wandering lost in my thoughts I suddenly realised I was hungry and ripped open a energy bar and chewed on it, hearing a sudden rustling behind me I turned thinking it was Nate come to help me when I felt a sudden pain on the left side of my head and everything went dark, as I stumbled along I lost my footing and fell down a ravine, the last thing I remember is shouting Phaaaaaa before I blacked out as my head hit a mossy rock at the bottom.

TO BE CONTINUED
