Three Wishes [TinCan]

Chapter 7: Friends

Their mid semester break finally over. Some were happy to be back, some was reluctant and complained. Can belongs to the former. He actually loved what he was studying and he missed his friends.

Can and Ae was eating in the canteen when Pete and Tin came to join them.

Ae smiles softly when he saw Pete.

"Sit down. I'll buy you your food, Pete." Ae offered.

Pete and Can were left alone together as Ae and Tin went and get their foods.

"I hope you don't mind I bring Tin along with me, Can." Pete said carefully, he remembered the punch in the locker room.

"I'm okay with it, Ai' Pete. Don't worry." Can said.

Ae arrived with Pete's food and a few minutes later, Tin arrived at the table with his food along with two drinks. He offered one to Can.

"Here, Can. I noticed you do not have any drinks with you so I go and get you one."

Can, never one to reject food or drink, smiled at Tin and accepted the drink.

"Thank you, na krab." Can said.

Can and Tin then proceed to talk about the video games they discussed in their recent text messages.

Ae and Pete watched their friends and looked at each other.

Since when these two are on a talking basis?

The same question lingered on both their minds. However, they decided to let it go because their friends had finally get along.

Tin and Can now can hang out together without the presence of Ae and Pete. They sometimes study together in the library and hang out after class.

"Aww, why English is so hard?" Can complained, scratching his head and mussing up his hair as well

Both of them at the library, studying together.

"It's not that hard, Can. Let me look at it." Tin said.

"Ohh you can't used these two words together but instead use this." Tin said while pointing at the wrong part and wrote his suggestion on Can's paper.

Can looked at Tin in awe.

"You are really smart, Ai' Tin."

Tin hit Can lightly on the head using his pencil.

"You can be good at English if you study hard." Tin said with amused look on his face.

Can patted the place Tin hit and pout at the other guy.

"But it's hard for me to understand. Can you teach me, Tin? The way you explain it to me, it's easier to understand. Please na, krab. I'll buy you pork skewers." Can said, puppy eyes on full effects.

"I don't even like pork skewers that much. You're the one who eat them like there's no tomorrow and I am the one who end up buying them for you." Tin said.

Tin looked at Can and finally said, "Fine, I'll teach you."

"Yay!" Can said loudly.

He was shushed by the librarian. He ducked his head and wai in apology.

Tin tried to hide his laughter.

"Thank you, Ai' Tin." Can whispered.

"Let's go for pork skewers after this. Your treat, right?" Tin said.

They are in Tin's car, on the way to Pete's apartment. The four of them planned to have dinner together but Tin needed to pick up stuff that he left at Pete's house.
