First

All of their faces were wrapped with confusions.

"What do you mean you don't remember?" Rouselle asked.

Rouselle Ashton, a smart and fine lass with light brown complexion and below-the-shoulder level black hair. One of the performers in the campus. With her gym fit body and cute brown eyes, no wonder many guys in the campus are interested to her. But none of these guys won her heart. She seemed got the attitude.

"I don't know. I-I don't know why," Kao stuttered. "I mean I know that I'm all conscious but-"

"But what?" Renzo interrupted.

Renzo del Rey is one of the geniuses inside campus, representative of their batch. He has these cheerful narrow eyes that anyone would think that he comes from a family of Chinese. He is observant and can deduce ones personality in a short time of association.

"Renzo, let him," Vee said.

Also one of the campus geniuses Vee Sovran is. She is also one of the model students because shes always neat and looks pleasant as always, always at the top of the class and a good leader.

"Chai," agreed Mark while chewing a gum.

Marcus Soren is the fun of the group. Mark is a tall, lean guy, tanned skin, with oriental hazel eyes. His grandmother is a Thai and he sometimes uses Thai language when speaking. He likes to joke around. He can easily blend-in in every new environment. People think he's not serious but he is one of the brains in the circle. Mark is a science type of a guy. He is always rational. He is also a journalist. He can joke around but not with Kao.

"I don't really know. I can't remember it, I swear, I-," Kao said in frustration.

"Or you don't want us to know?" Cath said mockingly.

Cathrine Berenson, a beautiful fair skinned lady with a long wavy hair that bounces every time she moves a little bit. She also have some attitude but she is always true to whatever she is doing.

"Since when did I hid something from all of you?" Kao reasoned to her.

Kao never lied to his friends. Not even once.

"Okay, then. Let's go outside and eat," cheered Shane. She turned to Kao. "You can tell us when youre ready."

"You know what, I don't care if you believe me or not. I'm going home," Kao stood up and grabbed his bag.

He went swiftly to the door and then BANG!

The last thing he know is that a guy was on the top of him. Kao was on a deep state of shock as their lips touched. The other party was shocked as well. He was still fully aware of the things around him but a part of him was subconscious made by some unfamiliar feeling. When Kao gained his senses back, he pushed the guy away. Their red faces were both flushed with confusion and awkwardness. They both stare at each other. No one lets out even an audible breathe.

"K-Kao," the guy faltered. "I-I'm so-," he ceased when Kao turned his gaze away from him.

Kao then heard footsteps coming towards him. Mark helped him stand.

"Ai Kao, keud arai khun? Meung okay mai?" Mark asked worriedly.

The guy stood up, dusting off his palm.

"I'm okay," Kao replied to him reassuringly. His heart is beating so fast.

"What happened?" Shane asked.

That's when Kao took a deep breath and feel relieved. No one saw what really happened except him and the guy.

"Nothing. I just bumped into him," he pointed to the guy and turned his way to him.

"That's what you get when you try to hide something," Wan grinned at him. He turned his fierce eyes to Wan.

What the hell! She didn't saw everything, did she?

Kao narrowed his brows and rolled his eyes. Covering up his nervousness.

"Look, I'm so sorry for what my friend did," said Shane to the guy.

"Hey!" Kao appealed. "That was just an accident. I never saw him and I never intended-," Kao paused.

Watch it Kao!

"Never intended to what?" asked Cath.

"NOTHING!" Kao and the guy both said in chorus. They both look at each other, ears were turning red and then turned away at the same time.

Mark put his hands to Kao's head and turned it to him. "Ai Kao, meung bok kuu. What happened?" Mark asked.

Why is he acting strangely?

Kao looked to his friends. He was cornered but he kept his cool by furrowing his eyebrows.

"I said I accidentally bumped into him," Kao exclaimed.

"Okay," Mark conceded.

Then there's a short period of silence.

"So are we going to eat or not?" scoffed Shane. Cutting the strings of awkwardness around them.

Shane dragged Kao so that he can't run off. They all got out of the room, leaving the guy at the front of the room.

"Hey," Shane turned to her back. "Come with us uhmm..."

"It's Ravee," the guy smiled. "Thank you but sorry Miss. I cant. Dinner's at home."

"It's okay. Next time then," said Rouselle. Then they she giggled along with Shane.

"He's cute, right?" Shane then released her clutch to Kao and went her nose chatting to Rouselle.
