keeping the distance

Chapter V

It's Monday morning we are sitting in our usual spot, with boss beside me and the rest of the guys across.

Except buhn was sitting on the table today with his feet on the sit Looking around. "Shia buhn did you loose something because you are making me peranoyed" while tee was saying that a guy was walking towards our table staring directly at buhn smiling at him and seemed not to notice us, buhn break into a smile him self then jump off the table to hug this guy. We are still surprised, boss kicked me under the table " who is he " I was wondering the same. "Hey buhn how do you know the med student" we can tell from his uniform what fulcaty he in. "This guy ruined my clothes a couple's of days ago so now he here to make it up to me by treating me to breakfast".

" I will catch you guys in class"
Buhn leaves with his Mistry man living us all confused.

" Do you think the is more to that story " boss ask no ok me in particular.
" I sense a different energy between the two of them but buhn has never showed interest in man before so maybe I'm wrong" tee state "true so I'll rather wait for buhn to tell us " king says while looking at his phone" beside we don't have a problem with his change of taste do we ".
"Of course not " tee answer with an eye roll
Boss just shakes his head similar to me. I can't believe it, I never considered the guys dating other guys especially buhn this  was shocking but not as shocking as you having a hard on from head rub from your bestfriend my head is being reviewing that scene from boss bathroom. While stuck in my mind the conversation was continuing and they're still surprised and impressed by buhn.

"Hey guys" we are focusing on each other and deep in the conversation that we didn't notice the new person joining us. We all look up " hey Ann, nice to see again" I say this while standing up from next to boss and Start walking towards Ann once I reach her I pull her for an hug and smile at her.

"guys this is my friend Anna" she wai looking at them Tee smile at her as the rest of the group. I asked Ann if she will be joining us but her reply was  " can I join you guys during lunch instead because now I need to go look for my schedule and classes that why I came looking for you" she smiled looking shy " can you help me find my classes before they begin " I smile and nod my head.

I pick up my bag " I will see you guys in class"

So we start walking towards the entrance of the engineering faculty with Ann. She links our arms " omg mek, I have miss you" I laugh " is that why you moved to my university"
"Ohh please, it's because this university added advance robotics modules in the curriculum of mechatronics and you being here was a bonus"
"I should have known, you are still a nerd even now " she pushes me " well something don't change " we reach the administration officer she works to the lady in the counter while I stand by the door to wait for her"

She walk towards me looking at the schedule
"So where is room 304 " I answer automatically " second floor we have maths their " she finally looks up from her paper " so do I apparently"

" Well my first lecture is on the opposite direction then yours, I have a string theory class (aka science) now and I guess you have maths"

" I guess I will see you at lunchtime then , but before you leave will you tell me about your friends"
"I have told you about them before,you know them" " I don't mean their names mek,I mean what kinds of people are they "

"Well cool people since they hang out with me " I don't get Ann question " fine then , are they single especially boss".
I just feel defensive now , should I lie to her as say yes,
But what if she finds out the truth, she won't trust me same as boss.

Besides boss is a great guy I can't say I was protecting her nor him. Maybe if I play match maker between the two i will finally get over him.

" Well technically the guys are single" she stares at me and widen her eye. " When I say technically I mean things can change, like you stealing boss heart and by the way he is a free agent and totally available" she has huge smile this time, and I want to scream he mine so please don't touch. " Can you find out weather he might be interested in me please na "

I pretend to smile while I nod my head but I wanted to bang my head against the wall and scream heck no, why is this happening
Two of my friend together, why does the universe hates so much, was my suffering not enough the past three years and now it's adding more to it .

The thought alone of them dating was killing me, so how will I survive if it became a reality.

I swallow my spit and clear my throat "we will meet for lunch in the cafeteria close to the parking lot"

She smile " well you have to go, my class will start soon see you then" we wave at each other while she walks away, I am still standing there rethinking the conversation we had and it's making my heart sink the more I think about it.

I walk to class feeling like train rack, my emotions all jumbled up. once inside I see boss is sitting in his desk but he moved it closer to King this time then to me, I sit and he still doesn't moved back , he normally moves closer to me , I feel jealous of King so I stare at them while they're whispering to one another, I feel a kick, I turn to to see who did that. I find Tee Smiling like he discovered a secret of the universe and he's smile is annoying and infuriating me, I decide to glare at him that took him by suprise because he eyes widened then he made a gesture with his hand as to ask what's wrong with me. So I shook my head to indicate nothing Was wrong.

The lecture arrived our attention were directed at the board, In the back of my head I knew this conversation with Tee was not done because he won't let it go so easily.
