[ Uh, really ]

This is Thung Paeng Prapatsorn Romrudee Sirikun or simply Thung Paeng; a friend from high school who was studying in the next room, I studied in room 1 and he in room 2. We became close in sixth grade. The teacher brought the 2 of us together, so that we could do tutorials and be able to compete with other schools. If you ask yourself, what kind of competition is it? I tell you that it is a competition of knowledge and skills of excellence in mathematics. Although I'm not very good at calculating my feelings, I've never lost any of these. Except with Thung Paeng, because besides being just good at calculating, he also likes to express his feelings too much, and that's one of the reasons why I like being around him, because he comes to fill what I'm missing.

“I told you, you're too excited. It is better to check well first the place where you took the information, look at the data you must deliver and also, you should first say good morning before ranting like an animal”.

[ For ! Well. I was just worried, but the storm is over, I've relaxed, oh, by the way, where are you now? ]

“Leaving Home"

[ You're going out NOW! You're already late mijito ]

“The university is near here. I will not be late"

[ I warn you that traffic gets hell at this time, you will be stuck in the middle of the road ]

“ … ”

[ Then don't say I didn't warn you. Around here, the traffic is more congested than you think.]

“ oh "

[ Be careful and don't be late on the first day, my friend, hahaha ]

my friend said, jokingly, on the other end of the line, before pressing the button to end the call, leaving me alone. A little man, calculating time in my head, with numbers here and there and back and forth, with a serious look on his face.

“Wow, I forgot, I had to add the time of the traffic jam" my pale face and the sweat that began to filter down on my cheeks, while my friend's voice echoed in my head saying: ' Take care that you not will be late on the first day, my friend.'

I already said that if I lost in the calculations, I would only lose against Thung Paeng, because he always likes to add overtime for emergencies. Unlike me, who likes to calculate everything with precision and accuracy. For that reason I was always be able to arrive on time for the flag ceremony during my time as a high school student, a perfect fit, unlike Thung Paeng, who arrived so early, when the school gates hadn't even opened yet. I started clenching my temples in embarrassment and worry, when I realized that I had accidentally misjudged the time I had.

“Father! We have to go right now ... now ... now ... run" I yelled as I ran to the second floor where was dad's room.

“Can you wait a moment?"

“ … ”

“I don't know where I left the car keys, I can't find them."

'Oh, you lost them again' ... Why did the first day I have to go to university have to be like this?

My first thought was that the way to school would be clear and comfortable. But today is not one of those days where the atmosphere used to be airy and comfortable, on the contrary, today everything is absolutely and totally packed with different types of cars occupying the streets.
