THE BIGGEST MISTAKE

06

Prem Pov.

I lay my back at my bed the time I arrive at my dorm. I was exhausted this day after the try out,our hazing leader last year even now p'Dream gathered u to have a meeting about our activities at SOTUS. Arthit been scold by p'Dream because his always picking on Kongpob lately giving him a hard punishment. I look at the look on my bedside table it's already 20:00, I take my phone at my pocket and text Wad to check on him.

20:25
Hey,good evening, are you sleeping yet. I'm just checking on you if your okay

20:30
Good evening p'Prem I'm fine now thanks again.

20:33
You're welcome if you need anything just tell me.

20:36
Okay. Goodnight p'Prem.

20:37
Goodnight Wad.

I hold my phone a little bit more minute thinking of what happened in the shower room.

All the freshmen gone to their classroom after the try outs so me and Knott start to clean the court and picking the ball. Suddenly Kongpob run rushing toward us with his wet hair, we looked him with a confused look. He breath in and out before he gain his breath he start to speak with a worried eyes. "Wad...Wad..."his still catching his breath and pointing at shower area. I didn't give him a chance to continue his talking I run toward the shower area and saw Was lying in front of one shower room. His still just wearing a towel over his waist so  I get his boxer in his bag and put it to him before carrying him to the school clinic. When I check him his not in fever but his body is so cold around 37° and I feel his heart beat being slower at my back when I carried him. Knott and Kongpob followed us on the clinic, when the doctor said that we need to call his guardian I refuse and tell them that give him time to recover when he get worse by time I'll the one who pick his mother. I know he also don't want to get his mother worry. Knott tell me that we still have to talk to our couch so I leave him with Kongpob, and tell Kongpob that I will excused them to their scheduled teacher.

I've been daze for awhile thinking of Wad, until I realized myself, why I'm being like this.
I puty phone at the side table and decided to take a shower before finally got to bed. Ohh it's a long day,I want some more sleep.

*****

"Hey Prem wake up!!"

A barge at the door made me awake, I look at the clock it's already 8:00 "hey man, still remember that we have a test at geometry at 9:00" Bright voice was echoing inside my dorm the moment I open it to welcome him.

"Okay okay... Can you stop babbling already your not my mom okay.." I said and walk straight to bathroom to have a short shower. After I get ready I get my car key and phone at the bedside table and pull my bag.

"Aren't you going to eat breakfast Prem?" Bright ask.

"Maybe I'll have it later."

*****

After our test my stomach start to groar, I ask my gang to eat breakfast at school canteen and they agree. We're eating our breakfast when I saw Was and Kongpob walking toward the back school holding their food. "I guess his getting along with Kongpob now."I said to my self.

"Hey where your looking at?" Totta ask.

"Oh...nothing"

"By the way Prem, how's the boy yesterday?" Knott ask.

"Wad? I think his alright now."

"Who's Wad, guys what happened yesterday huh?"Bright curiously ask us.

"A freshman that qualified at the basketball team, he pass out yesterday at shower area." Knott said.

"Why did he pass out?" Arthit.

"I really don't know I haven't ask but the doctor said nothing bad at him,unless his heartbeat beat slow yesterday?" I said.

"Is it okay at couch, did he pass at the medical record?" Arthit.

"We made a talk at couch yesterday, and he passed the medical nothing wrong with him. I'll ask him if I get a talk to him about it."

"Are you being so protective at him Prem?" Bright ask.

"It's normal since I'm the one who ask him to join the team."

"Is that the only reason?" Knott hit his head."what!"

"Here you are again Bright, what are you trying  to pull out ha,first Arthit and now Prem" Toota said.

"I'm not saying anything okay." Bright said while glaring at Toota.

Well to be honest on my self I'm also asking myself what was happening to me, I'm not that kind senior to my junior they know me as feirce and cold like Arthit, but the time I saw Was with his mom that day at the mall something pushing me to know more about him.

*****

After our class we gather again all the freshmen at the field we want them to know the meaning of unity. Again Arthit start his scolding to the Juniors. He make them run back and front to the field without leaving one behind. The Juniors are being failed for the fifth to seventh time running until I saw Kongpob and Tew their junior president gathered them all. After that they let the men run frist while holding together on the shoulder, then they followed by the women embracing each one like the boys.

It's been successful that they did the task Arthit give to them even Arthit didn't say about the lesson they must learn somehow Kongpob being with his group give them strength to finish it.

After the gathering some of the Juniors started to back to their dorm, I saw Kongpob walking toward a corridor going to the photoshoot for the moon and star competition. I ran to him asking how was Wad doing.

"His alright p',why"

"Oh.. nothing did you ask him what happened to him yesterday?"

"Yes p' but I don't think it's a good idea telling you, I promised him that I'll keep it as a secret."

"But why?"

"I think you should know him better p', I know you're worried about him, maybe when you already find a comfortable side of him he might also tell you the reason."

I just nodded at him then he bid his goodbye.

His reason,? A secret? Isn't he comfortable with me? Know him better? I really want to know him better. I will make him comfortable with me and I'll gain his trust, I don't know why I want to do it but it's my heart keeps telling me I need to do it. Maybe just a pity or Bright is right that I'm being more protective about him. I also want to know the reason.
