2gether (Because We Are Together)

Chapter 11 A Loser Always Has to Cry

"Teepakorn! How was your Friday night?"
"Stop joking around, Fong." I answered gloomily after dragging my lazy body to the
classroom at eight in the morning with every pair of eyes fixed on me.
The girls looked at me as if they wanted to bury me alive. Don't let me see Sarawat
because what I will do to him will make everyone in here scream in fear. Crime will
be then the talk of the town.
"I'm being serious right now."
"Serious? With that voice? It doesn't sound serious for me."
"Really? Is it that bad?"
This is the first conversation I had in my misty Monday morning. It is not because
of the atmosphere that makes me feel so gloomy, but it is because Sarawat and the
White Lions gave me the spotlight to be the center of attention all over the campus,
despite the opening of the University's Sports Day. This week was supposedly a
week full of excitement, but it turned out to be a day full of questions.
"What is your relationship with Sarawat?"
What the hell?! My peaceful life was ruined by The White Lions who played jokes
on me without seeing the consequences. They are the real Troublemakers! I really
want to lock myself in my room because I don't want to meet others and answer
their questions.
What's wrong with Sarawat? Why does Sarawat have my photos in his phone? Why
did his friends tag me on that post? And most especially, what is 'I luke you'? I want
to have all my questions answered now. I am really annoyed.
"Sit down. Have you eaten?" Ohm tried to calm me down.
"Not yet."
"Want a sandwich?" He gave me a piece of bread in his hand with worried eyes.
"Thank you. Did you buy it for me on purpose?"
"No. It's a leftover." Damn it! Fate gave me friends like this.
"I am just thinking about that night where the White Lion caused you trouble. At
first, I thought there was a problem with my Instagram. It turned out... Sarawatlism
is the gallery of your amazing photos." Puek is still going on, adding insult to my
embarrassing moment.
"They were just teasing me."
"No. I don't think so. More like, they are seducing you. Hahaha!"
"They worked together so well." I think Green will probably believe this now.
"Are you okay now?"
"Umm...Not as bad as before."
That made me unable to sleep until morning. Every second, a new notification will
appear on my phone. To be honest, this is the first time something like this
happened in my life. Since that night, I haven't talked to Sarawat so I still don't
know what really happened. Is it all because his friends took my photos then
uploaded it, or Sarawat really saved my photos but his friends posted it on
Instagram?
Fortunately, people who are the cause of destruction came to defend themselves.
Man told everyone that everything they did was just for fun. So, I can safely bring
myself to the campus, even if they did not tell me what had happened that night.
"To be honest, I just want to know if there's something between you and Sarawat."
Puek is eating my sandwich while telling me this.
"What do you mean?"
"Who knows? He never used Instagram but he made an account just to follow
you."
"And the gallery on his phone is filled with your photos." Ohm added.
"Besides, that post seems like there's a secret behind it. Maybe, 'I luke you' means 'I
like you'?"
"Umm... I think so."
"Stop this nonsense." I hurriedly stopped their wild thoughts before they went
further. Damn! They were just cool talking and didn't give me a chance to say
anything.
"I'm just speculating."
"Also, did Sarawat really typed that for you? We don't know yet. And his friends,
especially Man-Oh-Hum, you think they were serious?"
"But this is the third day and Sarawat hasn't deleted it yet."
"I don't know! I will talk to him as soon as I meet him." Nobody spoke after that.
They all nodded in agreement.
A few moments later, Ohm gently poked my shoulder, then showed me his phone.
This online conversation is the only way to connect with him. You can really count
on Ohm when it comes to social media. I reached out my hand to receive his
mysterious goodwill then looked at the screen.
"I already asked ." He said while raising his eyebrows.

i.ohmm My friend's wondering why you don't delete his pics?

We have been waiting for so long, but there has been no movement from the
person intended. Comments that are coming are from his fans because they were
also curious. Until...
"He answered!" Fong shouted which shook the entire classroom, making a lot of
people turn their heads to look at us with uncomfortable eyes.
We asked him around eight in the morning but he answered at almost noon. I guess
that will describe his addiction to social media.
