LOVE SICK : The Chaotic Lives of Blue Shorts Guys

CHAPTER 31 : FACE TO FACE

Miss Mettha dismisses our class just as my phone vibrates on my desk. Fortunately, everyone is being quite noisy so she isn’t aware that the iPhone is causing big a tremor against the desk.

I take a look at the screen and think about how Golf has such a perfect timing. “Where you at?”

“Almost there, come get me.” What the heck? Don’t act like you never went to this school.

“Hilarious. Meet me at club room in the F Building. I gotta prepare the prelims event so I’ll be waiting there, ‘k?”

“Not okay! I gave up my precious time for you when I could be hitting on chicks. You better get your ass over to the gate and come get me. I’m almost there, see ya in a bit!” And this jerk is another person in my life that makes assumptions about things and forces people to agree with them. (What is up with these people this poor Noh’s life? Will he ever get his way?!) Golf hangs ups and I put my phone away in defeat before making my way to meet him at the gate.

“Om, mind setting things up there for me? I’ll catch up to you soon.”

Per usual, this bastard has a problem with this. “What the hell, man?! Where are you going?! We gotta start soon!”

“I know. It’ll only take a second. I gotta go get Golf, he’s on his way.”

Om gets excited at the mention of Golf’s name. “For real?! Okay, you go get him so I can kick his ass. He was mixing fish sauce for me to drink the other night at Lumphini Park. It was fucking salty. I’m not letting him off the hook.” Hahaha, you two can sort this out on your own!

I rush over to the school’s gate since my watch tells me that it is almost time for the preliminary round to start. However, I don’t even see as much as Golf’s shadow. “That fucker, didn’t he tell me that he was almost here?” I complain to myself.

While I wait for him, a light-skinned girl who is wearing the convent uniform from afar is stealing my attention. Who’s that? I can tell that she’s pretty hot even from this distance. If I get to see up close? Whoa, I don’t even wanna imagine it. I keep staring as the figure moves in closer and closer with excitement, like any other teenage guys would be like.

But…

Goddamn it. Why didn’t I realize this sooner? I watch as Aim walks over to the school’s gate and I am forced to pretend like I don’t see her, simply because I don’t have anything to say to her. I can tell that she’s looking my way too.

And of course, aside from the security guard, Mister Suchart and other students leaving the school, I don’t see anybody that resembles Phun at all. That means, Aim and I must stand here as we wait for the person that we’re supposed to meet. Honestly, I don’t really care that she’s standing around here. I no longer bother with any forms of politeness since I’ve lost all respects for this woman due to my personal experiences with her.

I lean on the gate and whistle, looking completely content with myself. I’m not even saying hello, hoping that this might piss her off. I glance at her and it seems like she is pretty annoyed by this. I look at her seemingly beautiful face and I know right away that she came all the way here so that she can keep Phun away from me. I bet she’s afraid that I’d rat her out.

She has no idea that I wouldn’t do that. (I’m not that kind of a person.) If I wanted to tell on her, then I would’ve done so back in Hua Hin. If I were that tough, then I wouldn’t have called Golf so he can help me think like this. Speaking of which, when the hell will he get here already?

Soon enough, a purple taxi parks by the sidewalk. I can see Golf’s tall figure digging around to pay for the cab fare to the driver. He steps out of the car with a wide grin, still wearing his personal attire since his school allows that sort of thing.
