Chapitre 3: Blue Hawaiian Drink
Sigh.
It's boring walking alone in the hallway.
History class just ended, I swear one more of those "colonization" word will drive me crazy.
You might ask "Where's Fong?". Don't worry he did not change school after what had happened in the cafeteria last time.
Fong had to practice football with his club today.
Studying here is not cheap, a student can either be rich, a genius, sponsored or someone who has talent. In Fong's case he is good at playing football even if he doesn't do well in class winning a football game for the school secures him a passing grade for sure.
Kind of disappointing really, I want to see his expression while eating this extra spicy noodle that I low-key peeled of the brand name so he won't know. Revenge is never too late.
For now it stays inside my bag for future use.
While waiting for my next class I decided to sat by at one of the benches near the football field. Happily sipping my fave Blue Hawaiian drink while watching Fong showing off at some girls in cheering squad who obviously isn't interested at all.
This University is really beautiful, big buildings, good food, wide football field, good amenities, An abundance of trees and flowers uniformly place at school grounds guess the only bad thing is the division of class i.e. Gifted/god class from the Regular class.
If you're thinking it has something to do with Bright, pfft, think again. Just saying, they're not making it easy for his fans to see him regularly. I mean, we are not sick or anything why won't they allow gifted class to sit-in with us sometimes.
I am not complaining at all.
"Excuse me. Are you P'Win?"
"Can we take a picture of you P?
A group a students approached me gigling with their phone in hand. Huh? Who are these people? When did I get popular?
"Uh ..." Their faces look like they won't take "no" for an answer. Should I run?
" ...Sure, I guess?" I smiled politely.
"Omg! Thank you P'! Quickly, take lots of pictures. P'Win please smile na."
Damn. These camera flashes will make me blind. Good thing I manage to smile cutely in the pictures.
After they were satisfied with the photos they quickly left and ran towards the football field leaving me dumbstruck.
A herd of students came running past me screaming like there was fire also headed to the same direction.
Is there a celebrity around? What's happening? Curiosity got the better of me so I stand a bit far but close enough to see the commotion.
*Thud* My heart skips a beat.
The gifted class football members is out in the field walking towards Fong's team. Dress in all black with white stripes football jersey they look immaculate against Fong's all White with black stripes team uniform.
"Wait. The gifted class have their own football field right? Why would they suddenly use the regular field to practice?". A student questioned.
"Does it matter? Today is our lucky day we get to see them play outside of their castle."
"She's right. Get lots of pictures everyone, this opportunity might not come again."
Just like that, the question was dismissed and everyone focused on fan girling. Poor Fong even at football he's still outshined by them.
I see Man and Boss waving and flirting to everyone that came cheering for them clearly enjoying the attention. I can't see Bright though, Is he not playing football today? Impossible, he loves playing football. Busy maybe?
Don't ask me why I know he plays football, like, everyone knows that. It's a fact.
After a while I lost interest in watching them and just went back to sitting in the bench.
"Huh? Where did my drink go? Did I drop it somewhere?" My fave Blue Hawaiian drink disappeared I just left it on the bench coz I was in hurry to get to the football field.
"Did the school cleaner threw it? But I haven't even finished it yet." I should not have left it here. This is so depressing. Poor me.
"You can have mine."
"! ! !"
"A fan gave me two of this drink. Here, you can have the other one." Bright casually puts the drink in my hand, We are literally inches away from each other sitting.
Help. I can't speak. My heart is skipping again. Did I just not noticed him? How long was he here? Arghh! I must have looked like a fool talking to myself earlier.
Breathe Win, breathe. Inhale then exhale. Act normal you idiot.
"Tha--thanks."
"Mhm."
"Uh, Bright why aren't you--"
Bright cut me mid sentence and gestured a "shh" sign with his hand.
"They might hear you."
Oh, i get it now. Bright doesn't want his fans to know he's here that's why he was so silent till now. So, someone like Him gets tired of peoples attention huh.
"Oh, Sorry." I hope my smile is convincing enough to hide my embarrassment.
". . . ."
Please quit staring Bright. My heart.
"Is there a big game coming? It is rare for the gifted class to practice football outside. Are you playing against our football team?"
Bright adjusted his sitting position while sipping his drink and responded.
"You know I am playing football?"
Aish. I asked him a question and got another question back. This man.
"How could I not know? The day you registered at a football club it trended in the entire school. It's headlined in the school papers. Only an idiot wouldn't know."
You're not the school Prince for nothing I thought to myself. Why would he bother asking me this?
"I see your friend Fong also plays football. Are you here to cheer for him?"
Question again? Is this an interview?
"Pfft. Not really. I'm just bored waiting for next period. Fong loves to play football and he's good at it too." Fong you owe me one. For once I felt proud boasting your skills to someone like Bright.
"Tsk." Did he "tsked" just now or I'm hearing things?
"People say seeing is believing, maybe your friend is good at playing football.."
"Fong will be really happy hearing that from you for sure." I can't wait to tell Fong Bright complimented him with his football skills. I'll make him buy me lunch for two days as payment.
I can't help smiling, imagine all the food I can eat for two days?
"But I am the BEST at playing it."
". . ." What??
After saying that Bright Finished his drink in one gulp, stood up then 2 steps away he turned to look at me.
"I'll show you." He smirked then left.
Show me what? Football? Bright looked confident saying that.
I totally have no idea what just happened here. It's the first time I've seen him like this.
Is Fong in trouble again? Is this a side of Bright no one knew?
In my confusion I totally forgot the drink I was holding that Bright has given to me in our entire conversation.
I took a sip of it.
It's was so sweet.
It made my heart calm down.
My Favorite Blue Hawaiian drink.
