Arthit, Knott, Prem, Tutah, and Bright are in their Third year and known as the crazy engineering gang to their classmates. They are also the Red Jacket Hazers. Kongpop, Tew, Wad, Oak, and Aim are First Years who are about to face the Crazy Hazers...
P'Ple has just messaged she would be picking me up in an hour. I had been lying on my bed before going to shower, having that endless debate again. I began typing in that I don't feel like going and pause before I hit send. Erasing what I had typed, I just reply "OK." I am going. I just want this night over already. Grabbing my towel, I head to the shower.
Adjusting my jacket, I check myself in the mirror. The theme was red, so I was wearing a red shirt with my suit. Red. An image of P'Arthit standing in front of the cheer hall the very first time I had seen him in his red hazer shirt. Did I know that day that I challenged him that I liked him? Is that why? My batchmates would say I had prevailed against P'Arthit, but I know that in the end, he crushed me. I challenged him, and I lost. Other people have had their confessions rejected. How do they go on?
My phone sounds behind me, breaking me out of my thoughts. Picking it up, and I see it is a message from P'Ple.
Maple: In front of your dorm.
Kongpop: Be right down.
I look across to his room before grabbing my keys to leave.

Coming out of my dorm, I see P'Ple parked across the street and run over to get in.
"Sawasdee khrap," I greet her as I get in the car.
"Sawasdee Kha," She greets me as she is looking at her phone. "One second. I need to look up the directions. I have never been there before."
I wait as she enters the address on her phone. I wonder if she is dating anyone at university? She is in her second year. She is also pretty and sweet. Surely she would have a boyfriend.
"P'Ple, do you have a boyfriend at university?" She fumbles her phone at my question.
"I did, but we broke up," P'Ple looks at me with an awkward smile.
"Really? Which faculty does he attend?" I ask, now more curious.
"Engineering. You have already met him," P'Ple answers.
I have met him? I wonder, trying to figure out who it could be. P'Arthit? No?
"May I know who it is?" I ask finally.
"Well... It's P'Bright." I look at her incredulously. I would never have pictured her with P'Bright. They seem so different, and why didn't any of us know about it.
"I never realized you and P'Bright were dating," I went on. "You two didn't look like you were dating."
"Very few people knew about it," P'Ple clarifies.
"Can I ask you another question?" I wait for her reply.
"Sure," She smiles at me.
"How long ago did you break up?" I question. I am assuming it was not this year.
