Out of my League. (ForthBeam FF)

botled water

Forth's POV

Phana greeted me. And checked on the bruise  i had from yesterday.

"What meds did you use it easily improved" he said.

"The oitment Beam gave me." I said.

Phana stared at me.
"Calm it Forth he is straight." He mouthed.

I looked at him and he smirked.

"I won't stop you man if you really feel something for him. But i warned you."
He said.

I nooded my head and smiled widely.

"Hold that smile!"
Phana and i looked at the direction of the one who shouted it. Everyone looked at him and our direction.
But my smile froze.

"You should often smile Forth" Minnie our senior said he walks towards us and greeted us.
"You two gonna gonna give the judges head ache. And you are also friends."

He/she keeps on blobbering Phana and i excused ourselves and enter the gymn where the rest of the contestants are.

Our day focused on the dance, it was a challenge for i never danced, but i am a bit satisfied with myself. My goal is not to embarass myself because of this dance. Good thing my partner is a dancer. She is teaching me the hard steps that are difficult for me to learn.

Then both of us excused ourselves from the coordinators and the contestants. The coordinator let us be. They know engineering hazing. They let us go at 5pm. She run to her car and i run to my Bike. I almost bumped into two persons and it stopped me from running.

I smiled at them.
"Hi Kit, Hi Beam." I wanna stay now that you are here but the head hazer rushed me to our college. But i did not said it loud.
I just said
"Bye see you around."

Kit just nooded and Beam smiled.
"Your bruises?" Beam asked.

"Gettng better thank you" i said.

"Where is your bike?" Beam asked.

I pointed the direction.

Beam loooked at Kit.
"Have this, see you later at the bar." Beam regarded Kit.

I looked at Kit. He winked at me.

Then Beam grabbed my arm.
"Let's go, you don't wanna be late right?"

I walked faster to reach the bike and he follows my phase.  We rode my bike to my faculty.

I drove fast Beam holds on me tighter.

I saw Pauline's car and parked my bike beside it. She also just arrived.

"Thank you" Beam said and smiled. Then he walked to the first aid tent.

Pauline and i walked to the line. The 2nd in command Kimmon welcomed us and bring us to a room. Pauline was taken to the girls while i was asked to enter the hazers offfice.

I saw a guitar on a chair.
I am itching to pick it up. But my guts tell me not to touch anything i am in the head hazer's lair.

Tae entered the room.
"Pick it up, and show me what you got." He said.

I played the song "it's your smile." The first song that came in my mind. And i see Beam's smiles and the way he holds at me in the motor bike. And his smile before going to the first aid's tent.

"Too cheesy but the crowd will love it. Okay you can do it. Do you have a guitar?" The hazer asked.

"Yes, sir in my apartment." I answered.

"Then get in  the line. Announcement time."

I get out of the room and i joined my co-freshmen.

"The moon decided to join the last part." I know that voice but i ignored him. He still says words that are not really necessary.

I closed my fists, Lam and Tew pulled me.

"Calm it, they are tired we will all be punished." Tew said. I looked around i saw them all worn out.

I breathed in and out.

I stood and walked to the first aid tent.

"Excuse me, don't we have water?" I asked, i forget Beam was here i am thinking of my fellow freshmen.

Beam walked to me and handed me botked water.

"Thank you Beam but i mean for them."
I said pointing at the freshmen.

Beam looked around.
He called the head nurse. She agreed with what Beam told her that i did not heard of.

Beam smiled at me.
"There will be supply starting tomorrow but i hope this will help today." He said and bring out botled water. I helped him carry it from the tent.

"Go back to your place now. We will handle this" Beam again smiled at me.

I nooded and went to my place.

The head hazer walked out of the office and helped destribute the botled water i already have mine, handed by Beam.

Lam cleared his troat he pointed Beam with his lips i looked at his direction. He handed botled water to the hazers. But i saw him scolded the third in command.

The head hazer then gave his announcements and dismissed us.

"Forth!" Beam shouted. I walked towards him.

"Can you give me a ride back to the main gymn?" He asked shyly.

I nooded.

The hazers walked towards us.

"Beam, thanks for dropping by. Forth keep him safe will you?" The head hazer said.

I nooded.

The third in command just looked at us. The 2nd smiled at us and the two officers noods at us.

"They are scary. But what happened to the third in command?" Beam asked
We walk to my bike.

"We had a litle fight yesterday." I said.

"You mean he is the one who gave you that wound and you.." he did not continue.

I was afraid that he will not ride my bike anymore, but as soon as i ride in my bike he followed and it gave me a smirk.

Silence.

8 minutes of silence, but he holds on me tightly and that is fine with me.

"Are you a trouble maker?" He asked when he handed me my helmet.

"No, i only fight when i needed to." I said.

Silent. We walked to the entrance and he run from me. To his best friend Kit.
I felt aboandoned, and all i have is the empty botle of water.

Phana walked to me.

"What happened? I send him to find you and check the first aid, he was to report to me, but "
Pha looked at me.

"He was fine in the first aid section but his mood changed when he learned who gave the bruise." I said.

"Who did," he asked me also curious.

"Third in command of the hazers." I said.

Phana laughed hard
"Good job, Beam hates that man."

Phana tapped my shoulder and also left.
"O see you at Perli's place."

I nooded.

I walked to my bike and went home to my apartment.

Holding my keys and the empty botled water.
