Chapter 5: Research Trip in Japan with the Advance Level Monkey

Day Ten: Friday

❝The plane would arrive here in the afternoon, and we will be expecting all of you to be fully packed and waiting at the airport for the trip. That would be all, you may all go.❞ The Professor stated and the students nodded before leaving just as they are told, Bas and Godt being the exception.

Bas placed the thin white sheet of paper on the older man's table and Godt did the same, they both stood still infront of the man as they awaited for their Professor's response. Meanwhile, the said man raised a brow upon seeing the paper Bas submitted. ❝Didn't I clearly told you to write a five thousand word report about the progress of your assignment? Bas?❞ The man asked as he raised the paper on the air.

❝I did, but I guess my printer ran out of ink that it didn't print out the whole report.❞ Bas nonchalantly replied without changing his forever stoic face. The professor sigh in defeat as he saw a noticeable bold 5 thousand word report painted on the middle part of the paper. Bas made it as his title for the report, cunning...

❝Okay, the two of you can go. Godt, good job on following my instructions properly. Next time please guide this...❞ The professor trailed of as he gestured his hand at Bas' direction. ❝this prat.❞

Godt nodded and Bas rolled his eyes as the two of them headed out of the room leaving the old man sitting all alone in the room. His eyes followed the two as they went out and finally setting his attention at the reports placed infront of him.

He examined Bas' first entry and Godt the following.

［Bas Suradet Piniwat, Clover Student of 2C:1 Building B. First Day with the Monkey: He was a self-important ailurophile monkey.］

Day Five: Sunday

❝Bas Suradet?❞

❝Monkey...❞

The two stared at each other for a while with Godt pointing his index finger at Bas and Bas petting the still cat in his lap while at the same time looking at Godt. Lestin was left stupefied at the side as she gasp at the sudden revelation. Her eyes wide as she exchange looking at the two acquaintance, she couldn't help but laugh at the coincidence. ❝You two...❞ she pointed at the two who kept staring at each other unblinking, ❝k-knew each other?❞ She asked trying yo swallow the hard lump on her throat. ❝This saves the time with the introductions then...❞ She laughed.

❝Yeah... I know him.❞ Bas confirmed as he was the first one to look away, ❝He was the person I'm waiting, right?❞ Bas asked Lestin who nodded.

❝Yeah... ❞ Lestin confirmed amidst the horrendous laugh.



［Godt Itthipat Thanit, Diamond Student of 4D:1 Building D. First Day with the Brat: The kid has a sick habit of calling people monkey but I guess he has a reason behind that act...］

___

［Bas Suradet Piniwat Clover Student of 2C:1 Building B. Second Day with the Monkey: He was a nosy Monkey.］

Day Six: Monday

Bas flipped a page as he go on to ther anoset of information written on the book. He was currently sitting in the long table with a pile of books towering his existence and quietly waiting for the arrival of the nosy students who had stopped him from testing the ropes he would use in escaping the school. Some students steal glances at him, specifically wondering why a Clover student would visit the Spade's library when they (Clovers) have the best library built in the entire school.

❝Tch, what's taking them so long?❞ Bas whispered to no one, finally bored and threw the book on the table causing a slightly annoying noise. ❝I should've punished them right then and there when I had the chance, damn it.❞ he cursed.

He looked around and then raised his arm to see the time in his watch. It's near closing time and not a shadow from the said students was in any way in sight.

A hand covered his eyes, enough to startle Bas. He quickly uncovered his sight and looked at the culprit of such a girly act, he was immediately greeted by the familiar smiling face of P'Tae's boyfriend: P'Tee, a spade student in his third year.

❝You're such a scaredy cat, Bas.❞ Tee teased and giggled, his hands occupied by the books he had picked up from the library.

Bas was like an offended kitten, ❝What are you doing here!❞ Bas scowled and Tee was left wide eyed then Bas realized what he had just said. He quickly covered his mouth and turned his attention to the book he was reading earlier. ❝Shut up.❞ He said knowing all too well what Tee would say.

Tee pulled the chair next to him and sat down, still holding the books in his arms. ❝You shouldn't stress yourself out too much. Look... your skin's getting paler.❞ Tee reached out to touch Bas' face in which Bas dodge in time.

❝What the hell are you evenー! Damn.❞

❝I'm here 'cause this is the Spade Library. I'm a Spade, you're a Clover. What are you doing here?❞ Tee emphasized the question and raised a brow to add a more convincing mocking.

❝Tch... I'm a Clover, I'm allowed to go wherever I want any timeーanywhere. Don't question me why I'm here.❞ Bas said with authority and looked at Tee straight in the eyes.

Tee sighed. ❝Really?❞ Tee sighed. ❝ Anyway, you should remember that other than Spade and Clover students, no one is allowed to come here. You might as well remember that important fact, rather than wait here for those Diamond students.❞ He said getting up, leaving.

❝Wait... how did you know?❞ Bas asked with question marks on top of his head. Tee rolled his eyes, amused by Bas' obliviousness.

❝They're on the gazeebo just outside waiting for you. They asked me to remind you about that in case you forgot.❞ He said with a smile.

Bas furrowed his forehead and nodded, letting Tee go wherever he was going in the first place.

___

❝Seriously, such important detail! Why does he need to forget it?❞ Godt let out a deep breath and run his hand through his hair in irritation.

❝Please don't blame him P'Godt. The president or rather, Nong Bas has a lot of things he needed to do especially when he is about to take the trip for the upcoming science compitition, knowing this it would probably take most of his time. He has club activities as well...❞ Javiér explained earning himself a glare from Godt.

❝Why are you covering up for him? Did you forget what he did to you and your cousinー❞ Godt pointed at Lestin who sat quietly beside them. ❝-earlier?❞

Javiér nodded, ❝I know... but that doesn't mean I have to hate him.❞ Godt was left with a hanging jaw at this statement, he exchange looks with Lestin who just shrugged. ❝Plus, Nong Bas isn't too irrational. He won't act like that unless he knew he was in the wrong. People tend to misunderstand him and I know you are too, but once you get to know him better then your previous hate towards him would vanish and eventually your interaction would turn 360 degrees. Trust me.❞

Godt let out a grunt. ❝I doubt that.❞ And crossed his arms.

Lestin grabbed her drink and sipped it, ❝When did you stop doubting Godt? Sooner or later... I'll be watching you on the sides, laughing as you eat your words.❞ she said and smirked, Godt growled.

❝Speaking of the devil...❞

Bas walked towards them, face as stoic as ever with his hands on his pocket. He sat next to Lestin. They all remained silent afterwards.

❝I...❞ Bas trailed off, the three looked at him. ❝I called you out here not because of the punishment. If anyone were to know what happened earlier ...❞ Bas sighed and scratched his head. ❝Then not only you would be punish but that includes me and it would be troublesome in my part. I would like to stay away from that as much as possible.❞ He blabbered.

❝Anyway... P'Lestin you should've reminded me and went inside or maybe you let P'Javiér in so that you didn't have to wait for so long for me.❞ Bas explained and occupied a seat.

❝It's okayー❞ Lestin waved her hands and took another sip from her drinks looking so much alike with those anime characters with cozy expressions platered on their faces.

❝ーHa! How can Lestin come inside the spade library, she's a Diamond student remember?❞ Godt asked sarcastically.

Bas avoided Godt's questioning gaze and focused his attention in his newly found book, he grabbed the book across the table. It was Javiér's. ❝If you are not aware, Lestin is a former Clover student.❞ Lestin stared at Bas, sipping her drink and didn't heed any form of care towards the sudden revelation. Godt scrunched up and a question mark floated In his head. Javiér only nodded.

❝Although she was transfered to the Diamond sect in her third year, that doesn't change the fact that she was once a Clover student. Though her privilage was minimize and limited as of the moment.❞

❝What? Clover student?❞ Godt asked.

❝Ehhー once.❞ Lestin answered, uncaring.

Bas followed the conversation and took the opportunity to talk, ❝It was nice for you to wait for me. I won't make it long since it is getting late and I have loads of stuff to work on... I want all of you to remain silent about today's incident. No one is supposed to tell anybody 'cause it would just bring severe punishment to us all. That would be all.❞ Bas cutted in before Godt could question Lestin any further.

❝Thank you Nong Bas.❞ said Javiér, Bas nodded and hand him the book.

Lestin nodded and smiled at him. ❝Take care Chubby baby~ Good luck on your upcoming competition.❞ She hugged Bas and quickly left with Javiér, leaving Godt and Bas alone together.

❝...❞

❝...❞

❝...❞

Godt sighed and stood up. That's it? Tch... ❝I'm leaving.❞ He said.

❝Godt.❞ The said man momentarily stopped, he turned around and look at Bas who is staring at a distance. Godt raised a brow and Bas slowly looked at him, ❝Would you like to accompany me with some tea?❞

Godt: (゜-゜) stunned!
___

Godt stared at Bas for the whole time making everyone around them look at him weirdly, some giggled most of them girls but both Godt and Bas didn't pay any attention to it and continued walking in the University's Central Park.

Bas was fiddling something in his phone, his other hand holding the pink mlik he ordered. ❝Stop looking at me as if I killed your cat.❞

Godt furrowed his brows, ❝How did you know I have a cat?❞ He asked absentmindedly and followed Bas who rolled his eyes in Godt's pure idiocy. Really? How come a guy like this beat his P'Tao in terms of qualification? How the hell did he do it with a mind as small and narrow like that?

Bas sighed, he turned around making Godt stop. ❝You're quite a clown sometimes, huh.?❞

Godt: (゜-゜), stupefied.

❝Did you know...❞ Bas felt himself shaking his drink in a slow manner. ❝I hate people like you?❞ Then looked up to meet Godt's eyes.

❝I am quite aware of that.❞ Godt replied unfazed. He gestured to a nearby chair, Bas nodded and he led him there. Both of them sat and watch the passing people in the park, unaware of the dimming sky.

❝ Did you know, I hate your kind of people?❞ Godt asked the smaller boy.

❝I am quite aware of that.❞ Bas said in the same manner Godt did. ❝But does that mean you hate your friend? She's once part of the people you hate after all. Plus, there's her cousin as well. Do you hate them then?❞

❝No, I hate brats like you. I don't hate Clover students...just the pratty ones I guess.❞ Godt replied calmly, Bas nodded completely accepting Godt's answer. ❝How about you? You hate people like me, does that mean you hate people smarter than you?❞

❝No.❞ Bas sipped his drink. ❝I know I'm a lot smarter than you or anyone.❞ Godt coughed, a little off guarded by the blunt reply. ❝I hate people who thinks they are way above me. meddling little rats, nosy pests. Your very personality describes the kind of person I hate. Monkey.❞ Bas narrowed his eyes and took another sip from his drink.

Godt felt as if he was about to die from that revelation. Although people from their sect told him they hate his personality, no ome would totally say it because of his balance good and bad points. Well, he should've known Bas' personality.

Godt: (¯―¯٥) Did he just accepted...

Chibi Lestin inside Godt's Head: (≧∇≦)b Good job! My work here is done. Congratulations! You're part of the Chubby Baby Fan Club! •̀.̫•́✧ what a fast development.

Fuck no... Godt shook his head, face palming and grumbling. Bas was surprised and continued watching on the sides.

❝You remind me of someone...❞ Bas whispered but Godt caught the gist of it.

❝What?❞ He asked.

❝Nothing worth mentioning.❞ Bas stood up and Godt stared at him. ❝It's getting late.❞ Godt nodded absentmindedly and followed Bas.

They are walking side by side in the empty path to their dorm buildings, it has long been dark and the Only thing giving off light was the street lamps. It was quite and the moon was fully In sight, it wasn't too hot nor cold outside and it was a perfect time to walk. Bas forgot to get his car from the Clover Science BuildIng and he would have tO think of a way to go to class in time without any transport. He still can't face his P'Tao for some reason.

Godt was chill as a cucumber and strode rather calmly with his most hated person.

The two stopped at a two way road. It's time for them to seperate ways. The Clover Dorm Building was on the right side and the Diamond Dorm Building was on the left.

❝...❞

❝...❞

❝...❞

❝It was nice talking to you Godt.❞

❝Will you add a Phi before saying my name?❞ Godt playfully asked and Bas looked at him seriously.

❝Don't push your luck, I still hate you.❞

Godt watched as Bas left him standing near a lamp post, snickered like a fool. At least, Bas won't be calling him monkey anymore? Godt should be an upgrade... Bas is finally losing up, he is slowly warming up to him he guessed.

［Godt Itthipat Thanit, Diamond Student of 4D:1 Building D. Second Day with the Brat: The kid is surpringly kind of kind on certain situations...］

［Bas Suradet Piniwat Clover Student of 2C:1 Building B. Third Day with the Monkey. The Monkey dislikes Clovers.］

Day Seven: Tuesday

His loud footsteps was heard, echoing throughout the entire hallway and as usual, various students from differents sects stopped what they were doing and look at the all too familiar Clover student who walked leisurely, hands in his coat's pocket.

❝Whoa... look who came back alive from the conference hall!❞ Atlas wooed as he nudge Calen's shoulder. ❝How did the punishment turned out?❞ he asked and Bas glance at him hatefully before walking to their direction.

❝Oh...whoa, the great Bas Suradet wearing a uniform?❞ Calen pointed out sarcastically. ❝I must be dreaming!❞ He exasperated a sigh.

Bas rolled his eyes and sat down right infront of them, his hand on his pocket as he sulked quietly. ❝Shut up.❞ He whispered but enough to be perceive by the two who had their alone time ruined. Bas shrugged and snatched the plate that was just placed by the waiter. Calen sent daggers at Bas whose eating the newly arrived food.

❝Sorry to ruin your date, if I were you I'd asked Calen out in a more romantic setting. Seriously, in the school cafeteria? Can't you be a little more romantic to your boyfriend Atlas?❞

Calen's face instantly flushed red like a fully riped tomato, slamming both his hands on the table standing up in the process. ❝He'sーwe're not t−together?❞ He was fuming with embarrassment which Atlas found cute.

❝Oh please... don't be such a tsundere Calen. With Atlas' features, he'd be taken away if not for his persistent sticking to you. Be grateful.❞ Bas tiredly responded.

A curve spread over Atlas' lip and nodded at Bas, he leaned his head on his palms and look at Calen dreamily. ❝Such a cutie...❞

❝Whoa, I didn't know you could get any redder.❞ Bas commented, uncaringly eating his found free food.

❝Shut up. Respect your senior!❞ Calen fumed.

❝You mean respect the elder? Sorry old man.❞ Bas replied and ate the remaining pasta on his plate. What can you say? He is so hungry with that long nagging in the Director's office plus the early morning walk to get to his first class. He didn't even got time to eat breakfast. Sigh...

❝Don't be like that. Love...❞ Atlas pouted, the last word directed towards Calen who looked at him with the same intense glare he gave Bas.

❝Shut up! Who is your love!❞ Calen shouted with embarrassment. He could almost hit that perfect high note if not for the gazes he'll receive from those people around them.

❝You.❞ He gritted his teeth as he points a finger.

❝...❞ Calen: ヾ(｡>﹏<｡)ﾉﾞ✧*。

Bas sighed. ❝It would be more romantic if you'd just pull his tie and kiss him Atlas. Thanks for the meal, by the way.❞ Bas said and stood up leaving the two. Calen was left stupefied by Bas' sudden action and Atlas gleamed with stars in his eyes.

❝That's a good idea!❞ Atlas smiled brightly.

Calen: (°ー°〃)

❝Come here!❞ Altas attempted to pull Calen's tie and kiss him right there.

❝Fuck, get away from me... you!❞ (；一_一)

Atlas: (ㆀ˘･з･˘)

❝Tch, can't they atleast pick a private place to flirt.❞ Bas whispered to no one and left. ❝Can't Atlas at least took P'Tae's as a great example? But then again Calen is a tsundere and P'Tee isn't so that must be it. Different people needs different ways, I guess.❞ Bas absentmindedly blabbered clearly forgetting about reality and bumping into a huge body that knock him off to the ground.

❝Ow... that hurt.❞ Bas laid on the ground motionlessly and said it like how Baymax would. He was staring at the ceiling and various whispers flowed in in his ears like a river. Must be because he didn't react like how they would imagine it, imagining most students came from Diamond and Spade sects.

Sigh... He doesn't need to mind them. He was tired. He feels like a cooked pasta and right now, he really felt the need to drown himself with a cold water to help himself stay awake. Now, a new problem arises. He felt dizzy, must be because he really hit his head hard on the floor.

❝Bas!❞
___

❝Why didn't you called me? You could've ask me to sent you off here then you wouldn't have to walk all the way to your class.❞ Tao scolded the injured Bas sitting on the bed holding an ice bag to his head. ❝Now look at you...❞

They are currently in the hospital wing,

Bas rolled his eyes and scoffed. ❝You shouldn't worry too much... it's not like we're something...❞

❝Do we really need to talk about this, Bas?❞ Tao almost shouted, he eyed the injured person and hand him a glass full of water in which Bas refused. He doesn't want to show the person right infront of him how weak he is, although he really needed some water at the moment. He persevered and hard-headedly stick up to his thought.

❝I confessed to you since last year.❞ Bas started, the hand holding the bag slowly falled and rested on his knees. His gaze was fixed on the ground refusing to meet Tao's. ❝I was so ready for a painful rejection any time. You could've just told me but why do you have to torture me so much.❞ Bas furrowed his brows, eyes shot close and knuckles forming a ball. Tao looked away, he couldn't looked at the Bas infront of him.

❝If you don't like me the way I liked you then just tell me straight to my face. Please, stop giving me false hope.❞ Bas looked up at him, his eyes showed one full of emotion that people rarely see. He stood up, Tao was alarmed and stopped him by grabbing his arms but that didn't stop Bas from leaving the goddamn suffocating room.
