Wayo"s POV.

The next morning...

I was so d.a.m.n excited to see P"Pha that I set my alarm to wake up at 5:00AM. I got up, took my shower, dressed up, put my contacts on and voila! I finished around 6:00AM which is an hour earlier than I expect. ? Shia!

If this is just a simple dance practice I would have woke up at 8:30AM and leave for that all I care.

Well, I guess I still have time to take a short nap, don"t I? I"m still sleepy because I stayed up a little bit late last night picking up the song for my Piano show. I want to choose the best because I don"t want to be a disappointment for the Science Faculty.

Yeah... Just a short nap.

******
7:15AM...

"Shia!" I jumped out of bed, seeing the clock"s longer finger pointing 15 mins past 7 o"clock in the morning.

f.u.c.k me! I"m late! I rushed for the door and hurried down to the third floor. I made sure my breath still smells fresh and my hair properly groomed before knocking at room number three.

I closed my eyes, preparing myself to be yelled at when I heard the door open.

f.u.c.k! I fought the urge to gasp a curse. P"Pha looks stunningly handsome in his school uniform. He looks so neat in those white long sleeves that were folded to the elbows; no necktie, wet, messy and s.e.xy hair. d.a.m.n! I feel my legs starting  to get numb just by looking at him.

How can he be this handsome every single minute, eh?

"Get in." He said coldly, walking back to his bedroom.

I got so nervous. His room is almost as big as mine but the interior looks more luxurious and elegant. He must have hired an interior designer to arrange his room for him. It has a basketball theme with the huge mural poster of LA Lakers on the wall. If this is my room, I would ask to have my wall a huge mural poster of One Piece on it. I can stay here for the whole day.

"Where are the sheets?" I asked him.

P"Pha points at a gigantic pile of papers on his study desk. There are too many! I was so shocked to see such an enormous pile of sheets he left for me to do for him.

No wonder he asked me to be his slave for more than a week. ?

"I know what you think." He said. "You don"t have to finish it. Just do as much as you can."

He walks back inside the bedroom leaving me staring at the papers one by one. They were everything from the human face to single-cell-like organisms.

I turned to look at him inside his room drying his hair... I don"t think I could take this... I"m like a wife doing all the housework while my husband is getting ready to go to work early in the morning.

Hey! Why do I have to be the wife here?

"What are you staring at?" He must have seen me looking at him through the mirror.

"Trying to find out the secret to my handsomeness?"

s.h.i.t! I shouldn"t have looked at him.

"Wanna know?"

I pretended like I don"t give a d.a.m.n but truth is, I"m ready to hear it. Who knows? I might follow his footsteps being the most handsome guy in the campus.

"First of all... You have to be born handsome."

What a conceited a.s.shole! Such a waste of time! I shouldn"t have listened but I still couldn"t stop myself from trying to catch a glimpse of him again.

Did he just smile? I didn"t exactly see it but I swear I saw him smiling awhile ago. He stopped right after I looked at him.

What the f.u.c.k! He"s so handsoooome!!!

I know what I saw. It"s his lips curve into a smile, I swear it before these digestive system sheets in front of me. He really smiled at me. If I were a girl, I would have screamed out loud by now.

"Let me see how it goes..." He walks toward me and kneels behind my back, almost hugging me.

"Why is it you mixed these colon sheets with the intestine ones? You"re supposed to be majoring Biology, right?"

I can smell his expensive scent. It"s killing me. It"s like my vision is starting to blur. This must be his love potion. Now I"m even more messy, I no longer know what I"m doing.

"I"m starting to doubt if this will really gonna work..."

I have to clear my throat to pull myself back and concentrate with what I"m doing. "Go away. I can handle this."

"Can I trust you? If the freshmen happen to get the wrong sheets, it will confuse them."

"These are soph.o.m.ore sheets. They won"t be using it until next year."

"Better for it to be sorted as early as now."

"Khrub... I"m working on it." I said.

It would have been a lot better if you weren"t in this room. ?

I thought it was very easy. Truth is, it"s not. I don"t think I can finish it. There are way too many sheets around here.

I wonder why he needs to give these papers to the freshmen by the way? There are hardly extra notes on them. It"s just almost like a copy that was printed out of the lecture slides. How can these sheets be useful, eh?

Anyway, it"s not my business so I just went on with the work.

"Please don"t forget to separate the subjects, also for first years and second years."

Do you know what he"s doing? He"s sitting on the couch playing games on his iPad.

Such a handsome master!

It"s almost 8:00AM. He grabs his car key, slings his bag on his shoulder and stands in front of me.

"What are you doing? We"re leaving." He said.

"What?"

"You have dance practice to go to, right?"

"It"s only 8:00AM. The practice starts at 9."

"I"ll give you a ride."

"..."

"Go get your bag and I"ll wait downstairs. Be there in 5 minutes."

Right. He loves bossing me around. The moment I closed his room"s door, I ran as fast as I could to get my bag and see him downstairs. This must look funny for him. I didn"t see him smile this time though but I"m sure he will.

He doesn"t like anyone seeing him smiling.

Anyway, P"Pha is giving me a ride and I"m so happy right now. This is another perfect day for me. ?

I was in such a hurry that I almost tripped on one of the stairs. This stupid apartment doesn"t have any elevator at all. We have to use the stairs for Pete"s sake!

And why am I even worried about getting late? There"s no point, is it?

Well, as they say... Too much excitement may cause you harm. And that"s what I felt the moment I arrived downstairs on my way to P"Pha"s car.

P"Pring is there and she"s ready to leave too. She smiled at me and I bow a little to greet her.

"Yo... I have to give Pring a ride." He said in his usual monotone voice.

I hate his car now. It"s the expensive type but there are only two seats available.

I don"t know but I feel like I failed again.

"Uhm..."

P"Pha opens the door for P"Pring and looks at me a bit before he gets into the car and drives away.

All I can do is ask myself the same question. "What"s the point of hurrying huh?"

Great!

But then... Seeing the picture of them together... Really hurts...

*******
At the Practice Hall...

"Hey, whats wrong with you?" Ming nudged me on my side.

He must have noticed me sulking for almost an hour on one of the empty benches along the corridor.

"Nothing." I lied.

"I can tell that you"re upset right now so better spit it out." Sometimes I really hate Ming for knowing exactly what I feel.

"Have you decided what to do for the talent show?" It wasn"t really the reason why I"m upset but I hope he buys it.

"Oh, it"s not that hard." Ming stood up and showed a few of his Muai Thai moves.

"I"ll do Muai Thai Dance." He said confidently. "Girls dig for macho guys. To be honest, I really don"t wish for anything else during the compet.i.tion. Just winning the "Most Popular Award" amongst the girls would be enough."

Yeah... I almost forgot my best friend loves the attention he gets from those girls. ?

"And as for you my friend, you can have the "Most Popular Award" amongst the boys." He teased.

"Is there even such an award for that?"

"No." Ming laughs. "Now, can you tell me what made you upset like that?"

I"m not going to say anything. ?

"What happened?"

Yeah. This is Ming alright. So I finally told him everything from the dinner, the servant deal, P"Pha"s offer to help me practicing the piano, arranging sheets for him and finally leaving me alone outside the dorm because he drove P"Pring to school instead.

"Right... That"s quite a long story." Ming concluded. "I totally understand you... but you have no freaking right to claim P"Pha at all... You only have the right to be upset."

"You understand the situation, right? It"s like he"s giving me a high hope by promising me a ride, but he also destroyed those hopes with his own hands and goes with P"Pring... It hurts, Ming."

"Yo..." Ming gave me his rare serious look. "You have to carefully distinguish the difference between hope and expectation..."

His words trailed off. Then he wound his arm around my shoulders like he usually does. "Well, at the very least... You still get to be his servant for several more days."

"I can only be his servant. But P"Pring is..."

"She"s only another person who also loves P"Pha, just like you."

"I don"t know... I feel like I"m fighting a loosing battle here." That"s the truth inside my deep feelings.

Ming shakes his head. "Ai"Yo, my friend. You are so much better than this. We"ve been friends since we were toddlers. For you, this is just nothing, but for the meantime... You also have to be patient."

He stood up and held out his hand. "Let"s go practice. I"ll buy you a snack."

I took it and went with him inside the practice hall.

"Don"t worry, Ai"Yo. I"ll always be by your side." His words are more than enough to make me smile a bit.

I tried to concentrate hard during practice but my body doesn"t seem to cooperate. This time, we are practicing walking on the runway and I screwed up many times doing it.

Ming seems to enjoy it a lot because he"s very good at it. I wouldn"t be surprised since it will give him a plus from those girls" attention showing off his handsome face and gorgeous body.

As for me, I suck. I was even reprimanded once by the instructor because I kept on turning the wrong direction and even b.u.mped on other moons while walking but I didn"t care. My mind is not with me and is floating somewhere else.

We didn"t get any free meals for lunch today unlike the other days so we have to go out on our own to have lunch outside.

"Hey, Ai"Ming, Yo." It"s Suthee, the current Moon of the Medicine Faculty. "Do you want to eat with us behind the university?"

Ming hesitated for a bit. "Behind the university you say? But that"s quite far. You guys go ahead."

He and the other Moons nodded and went on their way. But Ming seem to change his mind after seeing P"Forth walking towards us.

"Hey, buddy." He looks at me with a guilty face. "I don"t think I can go with you today. I went to drink with P"Forth last night. He asked my help for him to court you and I couldn"t say no."

"You what?" I asked in shock.

"I dunno. Just act normal." He sounded weird.

We both greeted him as soon as he stopped before us.

"Going for lunch?"

"Khrub."

"Let"s go together."

"Hey, P"... I can"t go with you." Ming said. "Those guys invited me to eat with them behind the university."

Didn"t you just refuse Ai"Suthee"s invitation, did you?

"I need to hurry." Before he left, he whispered "I"m sorry" on my ear and ran after the other Moons who had just left.

The idiot just pushed me to go with P"Forth who"s now smiling at me. ?

What"s wrong with Ming? I think he"s playing some prank on me and I"m gonna get him for this. There"s no way P"Forth will court me or will even like a guy. He"s definitely straight.

"Hey, Ai"Pha."

P"Pha is running towards us. He sweats a lot and looks in a hurry.

"Your lunch break is only 45 minutes, right? What are you doing here?" P"Forth asks.

I"m trying to look at P"Pha"s eyes and he"s already looking right back at me.

"Nothing... It"s just along the way so I decided to pa.s.s by and take a look."

"What are you talking about? Med School is over there which is totally far away."

"Um..."

"Okay, gotta go. See you later. Nong"Yo here looks hungry." P"Forth taps my shoulder and guided me to the cafeteria.

P"Pha just nodded.

Before we walk away from him, something makes me feel like we need to talk, but I couldn"t speak it out...

Why bother? He"s not really here for me. Like he said, he"s just pa.s.sing by. I feel terrible.

I didn"t turn to look back at him but if I did, I would have seen P"Pha hiding a cup of Pink Milk with his other hand behind his back.

Or his sad face staring at us leaving...

Phana"s POV.

Yo... About this morning. P" is really sorry. ?
