Blue Skies | Bright Vachirawit

Chapter 5

"Your face suddenly became red." He stated the obvious. I'm ashamed of myself, why didn't I let go? Why didn't I notice it?! "Ugh, it's because we ran, I'm exhausted." Blue tried to escape the moment but when she stood up, her knees became weak in an instant. Luckily, Bright's reflexes kicked in immediately and he caught her before she could fall. "I told you to sit down first, why are you trying to escape from me?" He carefully assisted her while she sat down.

"You're teasing me, that's why." Blue rolled her eyes. Bright couldn't help but smile at her reaction. He took out his handkerchief and wiped her sweat. "Wha- what are you doing?" Blue tried to stop him but Bright grabbed her both hands to prevent her from moving. "I'm wiping your sweat, don't move." Blue didn't have a choice but to remain still. Why is he always doing nice things to me? "It's embarrassing." Bright furrowed his brows when he heard what she said.

"What is?" He asked. "People are looking at us, especially the girls. They'll think that I'm their love rival or I'm a pathetic girl who's trying to seduce you." She said quickly without stuttering. When she realized what she said, she immediately covered her mouth. "Forget about what I said. You heard nothing." Bright giggled. "How cute." Blue felt her face went hot so she decided to escape once again. She successfully did it before Bright could see her red face.

"Jeez, you left me again!" Blue couldn't help but to laugh as she walked upstairs. She knew that Bright could pick up with her pace but she's still satisfied that escaped from him. "Yeah, but who left for 8 years, huh?" She rebutted, causing him to become silent. She already knew that Bright was pouting again behind her back. "I'm sorry, Blue. I really mean it, and I won't leave this time." Bright wrapped his arm around her shoulder and weighed her down.

"Aw, you're heavy! You're like an elephant." Blue poked Bright's stomach with her elbow. The two of them were confused when they entered their room because it didn't seem like everybody was preparing for the morning ceremony. "What about the morning ceremony? Isn't it time already?" Blue asked their classmate. "They announced earlier that we'll have it in the afternoon instead."

The two of them went to their seats and put their bags down. "Gosh, we ran for nothing! My lower body was tortured for nothing. I can't believe it." Blue complained once again. "Let's go to the cafeteria. I bet you're hungry." She agreed in an instant. After Blue got her wallet, the two of them went outside. "Oh, P'Moon. You surprised me, why are you here?" They saw P'Moon waiting outside the hallway. Bright's eyes squinted immediately.

"Ah, I heard the morning ceremony got called off so I was wondering if you want to have breakfast?" Bright clicked his tongue. "Ah, really? Uh.." Blue glanced at Bright which was rubbing his hand on the back of his neck. "Well, Bright and I were planning to go to the cafeteria.." She responded awkwardly. Bright on the other hand raised his eyebrows at P'Moon. "If you want.. you can come with us?" She added.

P'Moon smirked at Bright whose expression couldn't be painted. "Why did you let him tag along?" Bright whispered. "It's rude to leave him behind. Why are you opposing, by the way? He just wants to eat." She whispered back. Bright couldn't do anything but to place his hands on his waist. "You're Bright, correct?" P'Moon blurted out. "Yeah, you're Moon, I know.. Blue told me that." Bright answered grumpily.

"Hey, he's older than you." Blue corrected him. "Sorry, P'Moon." He apologized right away. "It's alright, you're her childhood friend, right?" Bright was surprised that he also knew about him. "Yeah, how did you know?" P'Moon laughed. "Of course, I'm her best friend too. She's been talking about you nonstop." Blue punched P'Moon's arm repeatedly. "Gosh, such a big mouth! You're just like Shan! She didn't hesitate to tell that in front of him. Jeez, the both of you always like to embarrass me."

P'Moon pinched her cheek. "I'm not embarrassing you, I'm just being honest." Bright didn't like that P'Moon is touchy-feely towards Blue. He understood that he's her best friend but he feels uncomfortable watching them. "What did she say about me?" He spoke to cut their moment off. "She said you're an ass for leaving her." He jokingly responded. Blue punched him again. "I never told you that. You really like to pick a fight, P'Moon. I won't back down, just so you know." P'Moon laughed.
