Arm's POV :

Today's the start of my university life and I'm so happy. I got accepted in the university of my choice. There are two reasons why I wanted to join this university, first my best friend studies in the same university second I get to share dorm with him. We'll have so much fun. My best friend Em, he's one year older than me. He used to be my neighbor when I was little but then his father transfered to another country and he left with him. He used to visit his grandmother during holidays and that's how our friendship got stronger. He's like my brother.

"Arm let's go out and eat", Em said looking up from whatever book he was reading since yesterday.

Yes he's a study bug. He's at the top of his class and a cute grumpy nerd. He's not a very open person but once you get close to him you'll know that he's a little baby who deserves all the love and affection.

"You just finished your sandwich", I teased and he pointed at me to shut up.

Nobody... I repeat nobody comes between him and his food.

"Are you coming or not?", He said and started changing his t-shirt.

"Okay okay don't get too grumpy", I replied raising my hands in surrender.

We went out to the closest restaurant and ordered some food.

"So are you excited for your first day tomorrow?", He asked.

"It's just orientation day. I don't wanna go", I complained.

"Come on don't be like this. Orientation day is a good chance to interact with professors and seniors as well as your classmates", He explained.

"Look who's talking about interacting with others. Oh the irony!", I said earning a smack at the back of my head.

"I hate it when you get sassy with me", He complained pouting in annoyance.

"I love it when you get all big brother with me", I added and he smiled lightly.

"Why can't you be my senior?", I whined and he chuckled.

"I told you to take medical exam but your lazy ass missed the registration date", He said and I remembered how freaked out I was when I realized it.

"But science major is a good option. Your grades are amazing", He added.

"That's because you taught me during exams", I said remembering all the sleepless tutoring nights before exams.

"But it was you who did all the learning", He stated smiling proudly at me.

We sat in a comfortable silence after that. The food was served and we bickered about whose choice in food is better but all in all it turned out to be a happy evening. We went back to our dorm and slept peacefully. Next morning I woke up when something cold hit my face.

"What the hell?", I screamed only to realize water dripping down my head.

"I tried waking you up like a normal person but you didn't bulge so I had to try this method", He said smirking at me.

This smug idiot. He must have enjoyed doing this to me. I glared at him and went to freshen up. I got ready and found a plate of pancakes and coffee with a sticky note on the side.

"Had a early class so I couldn't see you off on your first day. Don't get into any trouble and just be yourself. Everybody will love you for sure. Also don't forget to buy me my favorite shake on your way back in the evening. Su su na Armie!"

I smiled seeing it and sat down to eat my breakfast. I reached campus on time but had a hard time finding my way to the classroom. I decided it's better to ask somebody instead of trying to find it myself.

"Excuse me?", Somebody said from behind me and I almost tripped back seeing the person as I turned.

P'Sun....my first and only crush was standing in front of me.

"Nong I was wondering if you're Arm?", He asked and I blushed.

He remember me. Oh god why is my heart beating so fast? I thought I moved on. God dammit. Breathe in breathe out.

"Are you okay?", He asked bringing his hand up to touch my forehead.

His cold hand touched me and a shiver ran down my spine. He don't even know what he's doing to me.

"Sawadee khrap P'Sun and yes I'm Arm", I finally managed to say.

"It's good to see you again", He said softly and I almost melted right in front of him.

"What's your major?", He asked looking around.

" Science ", I replied and he smiled again.

"Your building is not very far away from Engineering one. It seems we'll be seeing a lot of each other now. Alan and Two will be so happy to see you", He said and I remembered the two familiar faces from high school.

P'Sun, P'Two and P'Alan were the stars of our high school back in the day. I was not very close to them but they'll always stop me and ask me about my studies and life.   Many people were jealous of me then. I smiled remembering all the times when I went out of my way just to bump into the three seniors. No I was not a attention seeker but yeah I definitely was looking for some attention from a certain someone, the one standing in front of me to be more precise.

"Don't you have a orientation to attend?", He asked and I blushed.

I totally forgot about it. I glanced at my watch and yeah I was running late for it but I just wanted to talk to P'Sun instead of listening to other people in the orientation. I sighed. I don't really have a reason to make him stay a little longer with me.

"Come on I'll take you to the main hall", He said grabbing my hand and dragging me.

I had no idea what was happening around me because my focus was on my hand in his hand right now. My heartbeats were going crazy and I was finding it hard to breathe. I remember back in the high school when P'Sun saved me from getting hit by a football. That was the first time my heart skipped a beat for him. I was confused at first because of my feelings for a boy but as time passed I realized that it's okay for a boy to love a boy as long as it makes them happy.

"We're here", He announced and I finally came back to my senses.

"Thank you P", I gratefully said looking around the crowded hall.

"Don't thank me instead join me for lunch today", He said and I glanced at him.

"Give me your phone", He added and I dumbfoundedly handed him my phone.

He typed something and looked extremely happy about it. Then I heard his phone ring as he hanged up the call quickly.

"Here", He said handing back my phone and ruffled my hair.

"I'll see you later", He added and went out of the hall.

I was shocked to meet my crush on my first day of university but when I glanced down at the screen of my phone, I nearly died of heart attack. He literally saved his number as 'P'☀❤'. I understand the sun emoji but the heart was sending me to cloud nine. I might be overthinking but I can't help but smile. So I guess there are more than two reasons now for me to love this university. I can't wait to tell Em about this and see his reaction. Yes he knows about my crush on P'Sun. He's the only person who knows. I didn't tell him though. He may or may not have caught me staring at P'Sun's pictures when I was in high school.
