บท 2: Win

"SHIAA!". Trust Fong to get into trouble but this time it doesn't involve girls.

Bright with his friends and Fong turned to me at once. Maybe I said it aloud? When Fong saw me he showed both a relief and panic expression while the others confusion.

And Bright? I can't really tell, I'm too shy to look at him I just focused my eyes to Fong as I gingerly scoot beside him.

I slightly elbowed Fong and made eye contact with him. I gathered enough courage to make eye contact with Bright.

". . . . "

Shit. Shit. Shit. He's looking at me ! Our eyes met. Why does my heartbeat fast? He's just your idol Win not your crush!

"Th--the meal..it was an accident. Please forgive him he's so clumsy." I tried to say it as polite as possible.

"Your highness forgive me. I'll buy you two sets of it this instant!"

Fong looks silly kneeling on the dirty floor his hands in "prayer position" asking for mercy it made me cringe a bit.

Then Man, one of Bright's friends let out a small laugh. "Pfft. Your highness? Bright you are so popular."

"Of course he is, our friend is a perfect package from head to toe." Boss, also a friend of Bright, wiggles his eyebrows. The two of them are really funny. I like them.

Bright dismissed their comments and looked at us. Well, Fong is on the floor so technically he's looking only at me. I put on a forced smile, should i kneel also? My knees are about to give up even my hands are sweaty.

"No need. I'm not hungry anyway. Pity the food is expensive, I hope your friend won't be as clumsy next time." What a forgiving man Bright is. Everyone's heart was moved again. Sigh, he never disappoints, my idol.

Fong stood up instantly. "I hope every person in the world is as good as you. Thank you! Win, liking him was the best choice you made my friend." Ai Fong! You bastard!

I want to fake faint. This is the best moment to faint. Badly want to dig a hole and bury myself in it. What a great time to say that idiot Fong.

Some gasps and others started to whisper to each other. Man and Boss looked at each other not saying a thing. Fong feels proud of what he had said like he planned this all along. This sly bastard.

"Don't be silly Fong. In this University who doesn't like him right? Everybody likes Bright right? Don't make such a joke." I reasoned out to everyone and it worked, one by one they lose interest with the situation and resume whatever they are doing.

A few fans glance and took pictures of Bright to add in their already full gallery of him.

I hope I'm not blushing now coz Bright is still staring at me after what Fong said.

"Win." Huh? He knows my name?

"You--you know me?". How?

"Who wouldn't."

" . . . "

"We were both in the same subject class during freshman years. I may not have talked to you even once but I remember all the names of my classmates till now."

"Oh. Uh..really? Wow, you're amazing." He remembers me! I thought he doesn't know I even existed. I'm so happy my face hurts from smiling.

"Amazing is an understatement, Our Bright is perfect. He got all the qualifications a girl can dream of. You can't find anyone like him right Man?". Boss is the first to talk this time.

"Oh-ho, no need to tell them that Boss. That's the reason we are friends with him coz he's amazing like us. If you haven't asked, me and him are equally chick magnets. "

Man puts his arms on Fong and my shoulders just like what close friends do. Man is very confident indeed.

"He has such great memory. Even a year passed He can recall his classmate's name. Doesn't it make you like him more?".

Why are looking at me Man? Are you asking me?

"Me? I .."

Asking me suddenly how can I give an answer? Man is like Fong, he asks weird things.

*Bell rings*

Thank god the bell rang, lunch is over I'm saved from Man.

"That's enough Man. Lunch is over quit playing around."

Man seems disappointed not to hear my answer. He tapped our shoulders said goodbye dragging Boss with him.

"Damn I need to get rid of this mess on the floor or else the Discipline Committee will kill me. I'll be back, wait for me here Win." Now he uses his brain?

I heard a soft cough in front of me. Holy cow Bright is still here? Man and boss left him or what?

"Have you forgotten something Bright? I mean, can i call you Bright? No--i meant .."

"Then I will call you Win. Since we are old classmates first name is okay."

That was so straight forward of him. Leadership skills is showing.

"What Man said don't mind it. He likes to ask weird questions. Just forget about it."

What Man said? Think Win! Think! Maybe I looked like a fool trying hard to remember what Man said coz Bright let out a smirk like smile at me.

"Don't think too much."

He lightly ruffled my hair and left then Fong came back with a cleaning tool.

" Win? What's wrong? Your are so red."

My heart, We talked for the first time, saw him smile so close for the first time, He ruffled my hair too. Is this what it feels like when meeting your idol?

Nevermind. I can't stop smiling.
