Chapter 2 : Hate

Chapter 2 : Hate

After, finishing with our lectures. Me and my friends were sitting in the faculty cafeteria. We come here before the break time but it is still extremely crowded.

In Architecture faculty cafeteria it is always crowded because sometimes students stay at the university for assignments.

We're at the university since early morning because all of us had morning class today and We can't go back together either because all of us have our own works to do.

Right now, I'm sitting next to Daisy and in front of us is Patch. Today’s weather is extremely hot it is almost unbearable for us.

It might be due to overcrowding too. Which is not new to this faculty but today's weather add upto it. This almost end of our semester that's why it is more crowded today.

"Do you want some water?" I asked Daisy. She seems a bit pale and tired because of the warm weather today.

"Thanks." she said and grabbed the water bottle from my hand and drank it instantly. I guess she might be feeling a bit under weather today due to the heat.

"I think you should go back home." I told her because I felt quite worried about her condition. She doesn't look very well right now and We all know she can get sick easily. So, I think she should head back home.

"Yeah, Risa is right. You should head back home early today." Patch said while supporting me. She also worried because of Daisy's condition.

"I will head back later." Daisy replied agreeing with our suggestion. We know that she still have some work left in here and can't go back home instantly. At least she need to complete some of her work before going home that's life of architecture students.

After this we continued with our food. All of a sudden, Patch gave me this weird look.. I'd instantly got it that she is having evil thought to tease me again.

"Don't you have to go to your club today after this." Patch asked. she gave me this look with astonishment.

Why she is giving me that look? You'll find it within seconds.

"I do remembered that I was supposed to go there today." I said. I acted as if it's nothing and I tried not to look indifferent.

So, I don't like going to my club a lot. I went there for once. After, that I wouldn’t go there. If there was something important I would send someone on my behalf or I won't go there at all.

"Finally, you are going there. They might welcome you with flower in their hands." Patch said sarcastically. She was trying to pull my leg. After listening to her joke about me, the one who didn't feel well, started laughing at me too.

"What are you laughing about? Aren't you ill?" I spoke to Daisy. I gave her an annoyed look. Isn't she sick and sick people are supposed to quiet that's what she should do!

"I'm laughing because you didn't go to your club at all. You must be a ghost there." Daisy added another insult. Now they both ganged up on me. These guys are having too much enjoyment by making fun of me.

They should be careful the first chance I get to take my revenge and I won't definitely let that go.

"I don't want to go there because of that guy...haven't you seen his face when I first joined the club. It was clear that he hated me." I replied. I'm highly annoyed by this topic.

Usually, I'm not type of a person who would get mad easily but this matter annoy me to next level.

I hate that guy to the guts! I don't like seeing his face it make me want to break his face really bad.

"Well, that's true. He hate you to this extent but I wonder why?" Patch said with curious expression.

Me and Daisy nodded in agreement. I do agree on this but I don't have any answer of their question.The first time I'd meet him. He was the one picking fight with me. I guess their is nothing in his head.

The person we're taking about is music club president Phi Gorn. He is second year student in medicine faculty. He is our senior who doesn't behave like one. I don't get why everyone in the university is so obsessed with him but I'm not because I have brain.

Trust me, I’m anti social but I've never behaved bad with him but since we meet the first time till now that guy did only bad things to me. So, I decided not to care about his existence and avoid him.

This all started when I just won thr University Star title. Due, to this competition. I had never got to participate in my club activities. After, completing with the competition. I decided to attend my club activities properly.

That day,

So, I went to music club to attend my club activities but before that I needed to find where it was.

How come I don't know where my own club is? Dumb me forgot about where the music club was because I’ve never went there after I've joined it, not even once.

I was never interested in Moon and Stars Competition, but I joined because of Phi Kim. He is our senior from same faculty as me, He was the one who forced me to join competition and become the representative for the faculty.

As you know, I would never be forced by anyone. Even if they're my friends but he literally had to stalk, beg, even putted pressure on me by all the senior including the whole faculty which made join the competition.

I don't know why he did all this in the first place. He could have just choose another representatives for our faculty. Who was more willing than me but I don't know his thought.

So, here is why I took it upon myself. Otherwise, I would never do that. I'm not very social kind of person. I don't even how I won this competition. I was never interested in this but still won. All I did was fake smile every time and played piano in talent competition.

I have already accepted my fate and compromise with my situation that I've to be centre of the attraction every time.

But still, All the attention I got from the competition made me very uncomfortable and I'm very dissatisfied with it but I am trying to live with it.

I had to snapped out of my thoughts because I need to focused right now. I have to find where the music club room is.

I did contacted to one of my friend she gave the room number, but I can't find it. Suddenly, this University became so huge.

I tried to find the club room on my own but I felt like I was walking in going in circles. This made me feel totally miserable. I can't even find the club room.

Am I dumb or this thing is actually very confusing? I asked myself again and again.

Even after thousand of tries and roaming around in circles again and again. I’ve completely understand it now that can't find the room on my own. I have to ask someone to help me... but who should I ask.

This might be the first time. I'm actually stopping to talk to random people. This will totally be posted in University gossip page. I'm sure about it..

I need to gather all the courage I got and I need to ask somebody to help me. I started repeating this sentence in my head continuously.

I have found one of the senior who was walked around. He seem to be a bit familiar to me because I think that I've seen him at the Moon and Star Competition that time I did meet many people from various faculty.

I guess it will be less awkward to talk to a senior whom I know rather than asking someone who is completely a stranger to me.

“Phi!” I called him. He look at face and he was completely shocked that I was the one who calling him. He even double checked by pointing at himself asking me if it's him to which I nodded at him as reply.

Then he walked closer to me. His face shows how clueless he is right now. If it was me I would feel the same.

Now, here comes nothing.

"Phi, Can you tell me where is the music club room is?" I asked him. I don't know if he'll help me out or not. I'm already miserable right now and I require help desperately. If he doesn't help me then I'm done.

"I'm going to the music club as well. Let me take you there, " He said with a smile. I'm glad he was helping me. We walked together to the music club room.

Apparently, I was trying to find the club room at the complete opposite direction.

"Thank you Phi for helping me. "I told him. When we reached there. I'm really glad that he helped me or else I wouldn't have been able to find it on my own.

"It's Alright, By the way I've never seen you at the club?" He asked me before I could go inside the club. I had stopped myself to answer him. He question is reasonable one because I've never been here. I wasn't even slightly offended by his question.

"Phi, I was busy with the competition, that is why I did not participate in the club activities." I replied to him humbly and he nodded as reply.

After, I went inside the club room.

While I walking inside the room. I was feeling little stressed because I might have to explain everything to everyone and it is going to be a lot of work for today.

Thinking all this already makes me feel exhausted.

As I walked inside the club room. I didn't recognise anyone in that room but around the corner of the room, I saw my senior from architectural faculty.

He is the one who forced me to join the competition Phi Kim, he was sitting with the group of people. Obviously I don't recognise any of them rather than Phi Kim.

I encouraged myself a little bit before walk up to Phi Kim. If it was just him. I would have went there directly to him without any hesitation but there was other people there too which made me hesitate.

“Risa?” Phi Kim called my name. Before I could call him. He noticed me and called my name out which made the people beside him stare at me.

Suddenly, I felt like everyone in the room right now was staring at me. I guess that's because he called my name quite loudly that made everyone turn their head to see me.

"Phi Kim." I called his name and wai him to which he wai back at me.

“Finally the University Star decided to come here. " He said in sarcasm. Why out of all the people he is giving me sarcasm that too now when I'm already feeling extremely uncomfortable.

I felt like he was the only one left who didn't teased me yet. I guess he isn't the remaining one now.

Does he remember he was the one who force me to participate that competition. I had no desire to join that beauty pageant kind of thing.

"Why are you messing with me Phi?" I told him. I had already had taken many joke on myself today and guess what? I don't wanna take anymore jokes.

"Help me, I don't know to anything about club." I told him with pleading face. I'm tired of everyone jokes today and I don't want anyone to pull my leg more. So, it's better to plead him right now then answering anything more sarcastically.

"I'll ask the club president to help you." He told me and He pointed at the tall guy next to him. He standing right beside Phi Kim listening to our conversation.

He was staying still even when Phi Kim pointed him to help me but didn't say anything what a weird guy.

He is very tall person..much taller than me even when I'm wearing heels which indicates he might be almost 180cm tall or something. He wore glasses and he had a bit tanned skin.

He look nice and had dimples on his cheeks. His face features were alright too, round eyes, nose straight etc..

He looks fine but why in the world this guy is giving me annoyed look as soon as he saw my face. I don't know what's wrong with him?

"Gorn! Help her out. " Phi Kim told him, but he didn't seem much pleased by thought of helping me.

That is why he is behaving like this I got no idea what all this is about. Still, I didn't thought about it much. It can be my misunderstanding too.

“Sawadee Kha" I said and Wai him, but he didn't Wai in return or even care reply. I was just giving him respect but this guy doesn't seem to take it. I let it slip since I don't care. I did my part but he didn't it's his problem not mine.

"Which instruments do you play?." He asked me directly. If you tell me this was very predictable. I would say 'yes it was'.

His expression showed that he didn't like to wasting time talking nicely.

This were my being nice thought went into the downfall.

He didn't even bother to move away from his friends. He was still standing with his group asking me questions.

Which definitely uncomfortable and I was greatly bothered by it.

I don't like attention and currently I'd to answer his questions in front of everyone it's not like I can do anything about it.

"Piano and Keyboard." I said simply. He wasn't very respectful with me but I can't be like that to him it isn't appropriate for me.

So, I can't do the same no matter how much I want to put him on his place. I gotta control myself for now

"Can you play it properly?" He asked with indifferent expression to which I also kept my expression neutral.

"I've been playing it since I was five." I replied to him briefly. I love music since early age due my dad liked music a lot and he was the one who used to play piano for me.

He was the one who taught me playing. After he wasn't here and I moved back to Thailand. I'd took professional classes until my high school because of it. I'm very familiar with piano and keyboards.

This time he didn't even care to reply and he just nodded his head. Why he is being mean to me?

“You need to go through a evaluation then you will be able to get in to music club. Which you already missed. So, you have perform it now.” He told me all these things without changing his expression even a bit.

“Ok.” I replied briefly. I knew he was indirectly taunting me for missing the evaluation but I swear that it wasn't intentional.

“What a trouble.” He mumbled to Phi Kim. He was clearly showing how irritated he is by my presence.

“Are you talking about me?” I replied. I had enough from past few minutes I was enduring it because he is my senior but that's doesn't give him right to insult me again and again.

“What if I'm talking about you?” He said rudely. Now, he was acting all worked up because of my simple question and everyone around him was grabbing him to stop. So, he wouldn't do or say anything to me.

“If you think I'm scared of you that might be the last thing I am.” I replied him with annoyed look too. I'm done with behaving nicely to him. It's always give and take can't be one sided at least not with me.

“Stop it, both of you.” Phi Kim had step in to stop us. I'm thankful to him because I don't want talk to this guy anymore or else. He might get his ass handed to him.

“Risa, play the keyboards. We'll evaluate you.” Phi Kim said. I didn't argue with him and agreed to play.

I sat on the Keyboard which was placed on stage made near the door in the music room. This made everyone attention on me. I took deep breath and started playing the song.

Well, I played chemtrails over the country club by Lana Del Rey.

Me being anti social is one thing but my love for music is another thing. I never had any problem playing music in front of everyone. I had to perform in front of many people quite few times that's why I wasn't worried at all.

When I finished playing I heard everyone clapping for me expect one person and obviously it was Phi Gorn.

“You played Keyboard very well and sang nicely too but... We don't take overly privileged people in our club.” Phi Gorn with utterly ridiculous face.

That's when I thought he was complimenting me but he obviously he was insulting me how can I even imagine good words from his mouth.

“I thought music club required skills. I didn't knew being privileged or not was mentioned on the form.” I replied to him. There is simple rule that I follow which is I don't take anyone bullshit at all.

I got up from the Keyboard and walked down from the stage and stood in front of him to talk to the arrogant guy more easily.

“Arrogant kid!" He yelled in anger.

“and you're not?” I asked him. I didn't let him bother me. Why would I get all worked up because of him. He doesn't matter to me that's much that I'll be angry because of him.

“Gorn, Risa stop it. ” Phi Kim came in between us and separated us away from each other again because of Phi Kim, I took my step back otherwise I would have never step back.

"Now listen both of you, Risa you're in the club and Gorn stop being so hot headed." Phi Kim told us. He looked very serious right now obviously I'm also not in the mood to joke either.

I just nodded my head as reply. I want didn't to speak anything or else I might start arguing with Phi Gorn again.

“I'll leave now Phi Kim.” I told to Phi Kim. He slightly shake his head as yes and I left the room...

Guess what? This news was also posted in university gossip page. In fact there was a whole video of the the incident still people think I was the one who was worng because of my image being an Anti social.

Like being a introvert or Anti Social is the biggest crime people could ever commit.

I'd let people think whatever they want too. After that I didn't ever tried to correct myself to them because I don't think it's necessary.

Since, then until now. I wouldn't only go to music club at all. I had talk with Phi Kim. If there was something important I would send someone in my place it was like I wasn't the part of music club which is better than arguing all day

If I run into Phi Gorn by chance at the university or even outside the university.

We would avoid each other like the other person don't even exist. Mostly, we can't bare seeing each other faces and everyone in the university knows about it.
