Sotus Short Stories- discontinued

Arthit -Monday of Surprises

I love days when I have a class that is not at the asscrack of dawn. I love staying in my bed longer, but this morning...I didn't get to sleep until my alarm. I must of forgotten to turn on 'do not disturb' on my phone as my phone is blaring the ringtone solely for one person.. Kongpob.  The manoeuvre I did to reach for my phone was not very graceful. if anything it was the equivalent to an orangutan reaching for a branch that was too far away.

I managed to grab my cell quick enough that i didn't need to call him back. "Hmm...it's early Kongpob... why are you calling me?" "Umm phi....I" "what is it Kongpob? Speak!" "I received a cake.... with a picture on it." "Why would anyone send you a cake? Is it one of your fans?". Kongpob had a lot of people fangirling over him. Whenever we were out together, someone would ask for his number or line. Of course, as the ever gentleman he was. He would always politely decline with a smile.

"P'Arthit, stop thinking about ridiculous thoughts. It was definitely someone close to us. They sent it during my class, but I only just looked at the cake. There is a pic..." "what the hell! There is a picture on it?" "Yes..Us... kissing..." "Shia!!! Someone saw us and took a picture!!!" I groaned. How did I let myself to do that! I should have never of kissed him in public. what was I thinking.. I wasn't!

"P'Arthit, the picture was from far away, so only our own friends would've known who it was. I called P'Knott, but he sounded pretty confident in who it was..." I am seriously pissed! it was fucking Ai'Bright! "I think it was Ai'Bright!" "P'Bright? Why?" "He loves teasing me, however this is just plain unbelievable!" "You don't think you will be receiving a cake today in class?" "I bet you.. I will!" "What are you going to do? Should we get him back? What should we do with the cake?" "The cake did nothing, so eat it with your friends. Just take off that freaking picture!" I hear him chuckle on the other end, "no problem, P'Arthit. Let me know if you come up with something to get back at P'Bright with!"

"Okay! Aren't you supposed to be in class, right now?" "Ugh. Yeah. I left for the bathroom. I wanted give you the heads up regarding the cake." "Next time just text me, so you don't miss out on your classes, got it?" "Khrap, P'Arthit." "Good. I'm going to hang up now." "P'Arthit" "hmmm" I heard him blow a kiss through the phone, so I immediately hang up. Bastard... my body has already reacted to his gesture. Damn him...he has so much control over me... I set this thought aside and decided it's time to get ready. No point in trying to sleep for only a hour.  With swift hand movements I have made my bed, grabbed my towel and my uniform. Time for a shower and think of all the always I'll be torturing Bright.

I had left for class earlier today, as I wanted to check in on Kongpob before I had to go to my class. It didn't take long to arrive at the freshman's classroom. My mind of course was thinking about all the reactions I may receive because by now everyone in our faculty must know we are together. I felt like i was about to walk on stage in-front of an audience. 

The door opened and I patiently waited as a few first years walk out and when they see me, they smile and great me. Nobody asked me why I was there... until Tew walked out. "Oh, P'Arthit! Are you looking for Ai'Kong? One second." I watched him head back into the classroom, but I could hear him loudly say, "Ai'Kong, your faen is at the door!" Snickers can be heard by the remaining freshmen.

Kongpob doesn't take his time to come out. "P'Arthit!" He smiles the one I have come to really admire. "Hey, I wanted to talk to you before heading to my class. Want to walk with me?" "Of course, Phi!" We are walking along the corridors of the engineering faculty and every so often we hear people giggling and few pointing. News travels fast here.

"P'Arthit?" "Yes?" "You don't like the attention we are getting, right?" I wasn't really thinking of that currently, just noticing it will be a while before the gossiping goes down. I know because of my reputation nobody would outwardly oppose us. "I'm okay. If I wasn't.. I have only myself to blame!" I shook my head as I laughed shyly.
