After running on all those laps I thought for sure I would never be able to walk again. Thanks to the rain, I now have a chill, and cough. I think the cough is from not drinking enough water. We went to the nearest clinic and I was given some muscle anti-inflammatory medication. After that I remember waking up only a couple times to use the bathroom with the help of one of my friends and eat. The problem about this situation every time one of my friends were in the room, I could feel their pity when they looked at me. Honestly, I hate that look. Ugh, it reminded me of Kongpob's face when he was trying to convince me to stop running. What is his problem always trying to get into my business. The biggest question I have for 0062 is what does he mean about worrying about us third years! It has got to be his damn hero complex. Why the hell do I always think of him?

I decided to open my eyes because I am freaking bored of sleeping. How can me the guy who struggles to get up every morning and sleeps until past noon any chance he can get. Says he is bored of sleeping. I never thought the day would come. I see Ai'Prem sitting at the edge of my bed watching my television. He had it quite low, so I don't remember hearing it beforehand.

My phone starts ringing.
I shout out to him, " Can you pass me my phone!" Nothing. Not even a peep came from Prem. "Ai'Prem!!" He turns around quickly, "what do you want?" "Really! That is the first question you ask me? You are a terrible caregiver. I need my phone it's ringing" I watch as he just shrugs his shoulders and throws the phone towards me"I didn't sign up for this. Ai'Knott said I had to stay because he was busy. You don't really want Ai'Bright to look after you?" He raises his eyebrow and little smirk on his face as he asked the question." I laughed at his comment as I answer the phone.

P'Dear... of course he is pissed with me. I had agreed that the laps would not exceed 20, however my oh so smart brain was determined to finish all 54 laps. He was cursing me out, and on top of that the freshman have been cursing him for the treatment he 'forced' upon us third years. I never thought they would be this vocal about it. I promised P'Dear I will get better soon and apologized profusely about his ruined reputation with the freshman.

After I got off the call. I see Prem laughing at our conversation. I started to laugh along, but a little too much because I started coughing. A lot. Which sucks because as I tried to move my legs I felt a shock of pain go up them. I am stuck coughing and I can't reach for my water. My eyes have started to shed tears when I felt a tap on my shoulder. Ai'Prem has my glass of water and he passing it to me. I try to smile as I gulped the liquid down in between coughs. Finally, the coughing ends.

I grab the book near me and start reading. However, I couldn't concentrate my stomach was growling for food. Plus, I was also missing my Nom Yen. I usually had two by this time of day. I need to get Prem's attention. Unfortunately, Ai'Prem is back to watching tv and eating a snack it appears, but he failed to even offer anything to me. Ugh, I wish Knott was here. I call out once again to Prem. He ignores me. I call out his name, but this time in my hazer voice. He is startled and looks at me. "Prem, I'm hungry. Can you buys me some rice congee? Get some NomYen as well!"
"I can't be bothered" Prem says flatly
"Hurry up!" I whined.
He puts the book and the remote down on the edge of the bed and looks at me with frustration. "Where's the money?" I smile at him "I'll pay you back!" He smiles back at me, but with irritation "What? Give me some money!" "I'll pay you back" I try my sweetest smile I could muster. He gives in "I won't lock the door".

I grab the book I was reading before. I must of got lost in it when I heard a knock at the door it startled me. I just yell "You know how bad my legs hurt. Why are you knocking? Come in, the door is unlocked." As looked back down at my book. I heard footsteps enter my Flatlet and someone remove their shoes. I start complain to Prem "what took you so long. Were you helping the vendor heat up the congee? Hurry up. I'm hungry!" "I'm sorry." When I heard a voice that I knew instantly it was not my friend. I looked up. I knew it... Kongpob...
