15. Fairy Angel Friends

Jae's POV

Opening a bottle of water and taking a long drink, I looked around at the room we had commandeered for preparing for the Freshman Games. Unlike my twin brother, Zee, I was excited about preparing for our Kissing Booth.

Zee thought is was just too juvenile, but I had already bought like 50 tickets. I knew Montri was getting some hot guys to volunteer to help and I wasn't going to miss this opportunity. The opportunity to help out my faculty, of course. I'm not just doing it to kiss hot guys.

Thinking of my brother, I looked over to see him drinking his own water. He noticed me looking and rolled his eyes at me. Eish! He's totally sweating! I'm so forcing him to shower immediately. Can you imagine? I know we're working hard here, but a lady doesn't perspire unless she's at the gym!

Of course, we've been so busy getting ready for the Freshman Games and helping out with the Moon and Star Competition that I can't really place blame. Does every university use their freshman as slave labor? Honestly, I've been making banners and signs, handing out flyers, selling tickets, and helping prepare decorations, costumes, and props. I'm supposed to be here to learn Science, not work for free.

I take another sip of water and notice that Yo keeps checking his watch. He's probably supposed to go to practice for the competition, but that boy has been a wonder. He's been here practically every day this week, helping us get ready. And unlike some of us, he's willing to sweat and get dirty. Don't judge, manicures are expensive.

I have to admit, Yo is one sexy boy. I mean, he's not my usual type, but I'd totally let him do me. Normally, I'm attracted to the hot, masculine guys on campus, but I'd make an exception for Yo. Zee had already gone crazy about Yo, sighing and drawing hearts next to his name like a love-sick teenager. Unfortunately for both of us, we'd been Friend Zoned.

Yo didn't seem to be attracted to ladyboys, but I can't complain. Plenty of guys are attracted to me. I still squeal a little inside every time Yo does something especially amazing, like lifting heavy boxes or licking his lips. Cue internal squealing! Hey, how many times do I have to say don't judge?

Even though I was in the Friend Zone, I didn't mind so much. I mean Yo was super sweet and kind. He was making a personal effort to get to know us and to be a real friend. Not everyone was that accepting. I mean, yes, my group of Fairy Angels was that accepting, but not everyone else.

When you're a hot young ladyboy, you'd be surprised how many people are disapproving and downright rude. I'm not even joking, people can be evil when they're faced with something that doesn't fit their idea of normal.

That's why I was glad to have my group of ladyboys (and one girl). Our little group of friends has been together since high school. Montri, Chang, Cake, Zee, and me. I don't know why we started calling ourselves the Fairy Angels, but it's totally stuck now and I love it.

I walked over to Yo, just to check on his progress. I am definitely hoping for the chance to pinch his cheeks and hang on his arm. Again with the judging! Get over it, he's adorable. Everyone wants to pinch those cheeks.

"Is there anything else I should do before I go?" Yo asked, bringing me back from my thoughts.

"Let's check with Montri," I responded, not sure what else needed to be finished today. As I looked around, I was actually pretty surprised to see how much we'd been able to accomplish. Our booth was almost finished, we just needed to get some of our more popular students to be willing to sign up to help. That is where we might hit a snag in our plans.

The booths didn't have to be related to Science, but since the Games were frequented by prospective students, we tried to plan things that were mostly related to our faculty so that we could interest next year's freshman. Our group decided that the best way to celebrate Biology, and make our booth popular, was by selling something that everyone was interested in: sex. Well, really it was just a Kissing Booth, but the concept holds.

A Kissing Booth took very little effort or money to get it started and we could never run out of the product we were selling. But we still needed a few time slots filled. Yo would be the perfect addition to our lineup, he was gorgeous, popular, and hopefully happy to be kissed by strangers. I signed myself up for two time slots, Montri wouldn't let me do more, but like I said, I bought lots of tickets!

I followed Yo over to talk to Montri, hoping that my friend would take the opportunity to ask for Yo's help. I wasn't going to do it. Just try explaining the idea to some people. Kissing a line of strangers. You either got the "no way in hell" or the "sounds fun" when you asked. Unfortunately, the "sounds fun" was more difficult to find than you might imagine.

"I don't have much time left before I have to go to rehearsals, but I'll do anything I can," Yo said as he looked at his watch doubtfully. Montri looked at his list of tasks, but it seemed that most everything was completed.

"That's pretty much everything we need to do today," Montri said. "There is something we still need though."

"Sure," Yo said, not even bothering to find out what that something might be. "What can I help with?"

"Would you work in our booth for 30 minutes on Saturday?" Montri said. "We have someone to cover pretty much all our time slots, but we still need a few people."

"I'm already signed up to work in the petting zoo and I have to help in the Arts Faculty as well," Yo said. "But if it's only 30 minutes, I'm sure it will be okay."

"Wheeee!" Okay, I squealed, I couldn't help myself.

"Perfect, I'll arrange the time with the guys from the petting zoo," Montri said. I waited, expecting Yo to ask what our booth was about, but he just smiled as though it wasn't important. Boy, was he in for a surprise. He's just too trusting. It's so sweet.

Zee walked up to us while Montri and Yo were talking, but he didn't seem as pleased by Yo's easy acceptance. Montri and I were all for begging forgiveness rather than asking permission. But if I knew my brother, he would want to tell Yo now and not risk a problem later. That brat was seriously going to ruin this, I had to stop him.

Before I can even come up with a plan to divert Zee's attention, Yo's hot friend, Ming, came up followed by some more delicious seniors from the Engineering and Medical Faculties.

Yo sure did know some hot guys. I needed to make time to find out who they were. Yo couldn't be dating all of them, which meant that at least one of these hot guys could be mine. Again with the judging, a girl's got to take her opportunities when she finds them. Ming pulled Yo after him, muttering about being late for their rehearsals. What I wouldn't give to have friends that looked like that. I'd let them pull me wherever they wanted.
