Kit's POV
I was in a rush to get to my class because my professor is very particular with time. My class which is about to start in 10 minutes – is one of my majors and my grades were unfortunately barely hanging there. And, here I am still finding a spot to park my car. It didn’t help that the parking lot is way too far from my department so I have to find one soon or else Mr. Pim, my teacher will have my head in no time. He was notorious for being a terror and he had no qualm failing a student, if the student’s performance in the class is unsatisfactory. I totally understand why he has to be strict, after all, a life will be on the line with our future profession. That is, if I pass his subject.
With that in mind, I drove around and thank the heavens for I finally manage to find one. The space was narrow and it was going to be a challenge to park but beggars can’t be choosy. I was about to park when a white SUV suddenly cut in and took my precious space. I got so mad that I rolled my window down and yelled at the man who got off the car but he was in a hurry to care. He was having a hard time holding his things together. Despite my annoyance, I noticed that he was tall, clean and ...good looking. I brushed off the thought at once, being handsome doesn’t give someone the right to be rude.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Pim." I said when I finally made it to our lab, late as expected. Sweating bullets, head down and unable to look at everyone, expecting nothing but my downfall because I know Mr. Pim won’t let me off the hook without putting me on the spot.
"Oh! Mr. Kit, you're early for your next class. “ he scoffed low-key. Nothing could have prepared me from this chagrin, even if I expected it. The class chuckled in chorus, I wished to be swallowed by the floor, if it means getting away from all these embarrassment – especially by his two best buddies, Beam and Pha. I hated being the center of attention.
Beam, Pha and I have been friends since high school. We spent most of our waking hours together that when one was alone, people around us would wonder about the whereabouts of the rest. Fortunately, when it was time to choose what to major in the university, they collectively chose medicine. Pha, being the smartest, helped them passed the exam and when they did, they drank till they got wasted.
Still donning an apologetic look on my face, I stepped in the lab, hoping my teacher was done with me because I was so done with him. I mentally cursed the man who caused all these. I settled beside Beam who was still smiling from ear to ear. I was so pissed that I elbowed him and his crazy friend acted like he was hurt.
He could never be more relieved when Mr. Pim proceeded with the lesson.
"So what made you early for your next class today?" Beam asked while raising his thick brows up and down and smiling mischievously. I knew he was never going to give it a rest until he’s tomato red in fury. Thankfully, Pha was busy on his phone smiling like an i***t. The combo of two won’t be good for him so he can never be more grateful. They are in their favorite place to hang out in the university. After lunch, they would usually spend time to read their materials or kill time.
I rolled my eyes and told him what happened in the parking lot minus the looks of the person of course because if I done so, it would be like giving Beam stones to throw at me. I have had enough of it today. "I don't care if who he was tall and stronger but if I ever see him again I will strangle his neck till I'm satisfied."
Beam and Pha looked at each other and I knew they were talking through their eyes and I am so pissed to care. Pha's phone vibrated and he smiled.
"Can you please stop smiling like a crazy psycho?" I turned to Pha. I was so annoyed that seeing his friend smiling like that made it worst. Pha ignored me and carried on with whatever he was doing –texting. He knew that talking back when Kit was pissed would make him nag all the more.
"What department do you think is he from?" curious, Beam asked. Beam felt pity for the guy, he doesn’t know what he was about to face. Kit’s wrath is no joke, he was a living witness to it.
"If I knew, I wouldn't be here. He should wish I wouldn't find out. " still annoyed.
Pha got up and told them he is meeting Yo. Pha likes Yo very much to the point that he is like a dog wagging his tail whenever he is around.
Beam followed suit. He said Forth is waiting for him in his department. His friends are both crazy in love. Pha is very open about it and started to chase Yo. While on the other hand, Beam is so stubborn enough to admit that he likes Forth and claimed that he hates him but continues on meeting him. Those lovesick.
I was left alone with nothing to do so I decided to go to the library to kill time or maybe sleep.
Ming's POV
I felt guilty about stealing the car space earlier but I was in hurry that when he yelled I didn't bother to look nor apologize. I have to hand in my term paper due this morning and the professor won't accept late submissions. Luckily, I made it on time.
I knew he found it first but he was taking his own sweet time as if contemplating whether to park or not and I don't have the luxury of time to wait. So I took it at left at once. I know it was wrong but if I ever see him again I'll apologize.
How? I didn't even see his face. I only heard his voice, he thought. Well, we will see.
I have my free time since my next class will be at 3 and it's only 12:30. I decided to call Yo, my very close friend who is currently busy doing his own thing and stuff.
"Yow! Yo, " I greeted him, putting extra energy in my tone.
"What do you want? " Yo asked directly.
"What about 'Hello my handsome friend' first? " I joked.
"As if, save that lines for your women." he said.
I laughed, he knew me so well. "I'm bored. " I replied.
"Was I supposed to entertain you?" he scoffed, sarcasm screamed in his tone.
"As a friend of mine, it's one of your duties. " I replied while smiling. I can picture him pouting and rolling his eyes as he always did whenever he thought I am being intolerable or crazy kind of mad.
"What happened to your girlfriends? Ask them to play with you." Coldly and dismissively, he queried. I know he hates it when I change girlfriends often. He said I am a heartbreaker. On the contrary, I wasn’t because I was being kind enough to give them all chance to be with me. If I’m not being kind, I don’t what to call myself anymore.
I acted like throwing a tantrum, "Don't wanna, I want you."
"Can't. I'm meeting Pha. " he said timidly.
"Oi, my friend's love life is blooming. I want to hear about it soon. For now, I'll let you go. " I said and hung up. There’s no way I’ll get in the way of Yo blossoming relationship with Pha. His friend is so crazily, madly and irrevocably in love with Pha- a senior when we were in high school. Pha is the reason why we enrolled in this university because Yo wants to be in the same school with him. As a friend, I supported him to the extent of getting in the same university with him.
I actually envy Yo, he found the person that he wants to dedicate his heart with. He loves Pha since we were in high school and it stayed that way. Maybe it changed and it got even stronger. Despite the distance and time he hadn't seen him.
I want to find that person too. I want to find the person who can make me bend over backwards for her. I want to be inlove and stay in love. Modesty aside, I was blessed with good looks. In fact I was chosen as the department and university moon. I had my fair share of relationships, most of them were just flings but I never had that feelings like Yo have for Pha. I want to fall hard and deep. I'm tired of getting to know someone then only to be disappointed in the end. It was fun at first but it gets old.
Instead of sulking, I decided to go to the library. It's usually peaceful there and no girls trying to hit on me. With that in mind, I walk to the library happily.
