Sotus Short Stories- discontinued

Knott's Perspective - Chapter 22

I have driven what seems like hours because I have to pick up everyone in our friend group. Not one of them was ready, so far Arthit was the worst. We even texted him multiple times to give him more of a heads up. The car seems so small with my friend inside. Usually this car is driven by my Mae.

"Ai'Arthit, why did it take you so long to come??" "Shut it!" "Awe... come on! Tell me what's going on in that your head of yours!! I could help!" "Hell no! You are worst one to tell anything too!" "Ai'Toot, don't you think Ai'Arthit is being mean? I was trying to be a real friend!" "I doubt that one as much as Ai'Arthit! You will go around being a bastard once you know something..." "Prem? Knott? Do you feel the same way?" We replied in unison, "yup." "All of you are heartless! Why do I associate with people like this!" "We are the only ones to tolerate you!" I shout out. Bright has his arms crossed and pout on his face, but everyone else is laughing our asses off.

We finally arrived to the destination and we can see numerous of people and most of them we recognized as seniors of our faculty. The sense of community can be felt as we enter the garden. It has been beautifully decorated to the theme of marune red... our faculty colour. We find P'Tum and P'Fon near a banner and quickly go to greet them. Of course, pictures are customary. P'Tum instantly wants a picture with his code line when he sees Arthit.

While the pictures are being taken I see that Kongpob and Ple have arrived. I have never really took a good look at him because I am personally very straight. However today I noticed he has this charisma without even trying and I can see he is very put together. Like Toota said Prince-like. The only problem was his face... his colour seems to be off like he hasn't slept in days. Just like Arthit... they really are a pair.

I watched as they approached the groom and the bride. They very cordial and once again code line picture is required. I thought the pictures were done until I heard P'Tum yell out,"We need a picture of our co-code line!!"

I see Kongpob awkwardly try to avoid Arthit, but Arthit is desperately trying to get near him. I am so glad I caught on because just watching this from the side lines is pretty funny. I am glad Prem, Bright and Toota are busy. It leaves me just doing my own thing... apparently it's watching my friend navigate through confusion? Haha.

The pictures have all been taken and the Bride and Groom are heading towards the hall. Arthit, unfortunately, is trying to make small talk to Kongpob and it has become very painful to watch... I tried to look away, but my curiosity is killing me. When I see Kongpob is trying to walk away with a very disheartening emotion on his face. I decided to walk over to collect my friend. What does my friend expect... things to return to just friends. That is not how it works when these types of feelings arise. "Hey Arthit! What are you doing here? Let's go in, dude." I know he has a lot on his mind, but I need to get him to focus a little bit more.

The screen is projecting lovely images of P'Tum and 0'Fon throughout school and private life. You could tell they were I love with each other. When began talking about their love hate relationship at the beginning of their relationship. I couldn't help but think about Arthit and Kongpob. It seems I wasn't the only one as I see Arthit looking at Kongpob. Dude ,why can't this guy just man up and make a decision. It's obvious he cares for him, but what is holding him back from embracing the person in front of him. Is it society or himself?

We enjoy our dinks and laughing amongst ourselves because Bright was caught crying during the speech. He denied it, but we know deep down he is a softy.

A few guests were leaving  as they decided to not stay for the the after party. We had all intentions to stay here as long as we can! When Arthit left us to go find P'Tum. We were kind of surprised by his urgency. He was gone for quiet some time that Bright though he might of gotten lost. Until appears out of no where with this determination I have seen this look before when ever he has come to terms with whatever situation he is in. I guess, that means he has decided on what to do with the Nong.

I couldn't have said it more clearly because sure enough he asks us where the freshmen was... only I was aware of the situation so I immediately tell him. Arthit took off like a flash of light. I kind of wished he was this eager for getting out of bed in the morning. The guys arre making jokes about his behaviour. I am just glad that he is finally going to deal with it.

I see him pacing at the gate, and frantically reaching for his phone trying to find the freshman before he leaves. I noticed Kongpob walking behind Arthit and my breath that I didn't know I was holding came out. I mumbled a prayer for Arthit to follow his heart. That was the last thing I saw of him that night. No texts or calls to pick him up. Radio silence. My only hope was whatever the out come is I hope they both get some rest and be happy.
