Episode 22 Story on the raft

♥♥♥

At six and a half in the morning the sky was still dark, the only light came from a shining light pole. At the University's parking lot all sixteen members of the swimming club had been gathered now. They were busy storing their bags and loading supplies into the twenty-seater minibus.

Parm, the only outsider of the club, carrying a backpack stood by looking at the food supplies that were loaded into the bus in a crate as if there's going to be a famine for a month. Today he didn't make any snacks because Phi Dean said that it would be a hassle. They still had to stop by the gas station, and by the time he cooked the rice it was already morning, which made him decide to take some fruits instead. It's almost seven o'clock and the club's President now hurried everyone to get into the bus to start off for their trip. 

"Phi Dean" Parm called the young man who had just finished talking to the driver because he didn't know where to sit. When he asked Team, his friend said that he had to wait and ask the President.

"Get into the bus," Dean pushed him on to the bus, and followed behind him. But as soon as he stepped on the bus, the club members stopped their activities and loud voices welcomed him with boos and whistles, teasing him until the boy felt hot.

"Hoyyyyyyyy jealous."

"The cheating President. Abuse of power."

"I want to bring my girlfriend too."

"Oh! Let’s karaoke a bit." The nice Vice President was using a mobile phone in place of a microphone. Pretending to sing as they listened helplessly.

"Take My Hand, binding them to trust that I will be beside you happy or unhappy I met him and we have each other so we were on the way of love,"

"Hiwwww." The choruses did not give up. Hurriedly helped each other, singing together, "Holding hands weyyyyyyyy," 

The President's backpack floated into the crowd of monkey members until the band broke up. Team clapping his hands lifted up his face because he was being hit hard.

"Hey, your mother just agreed with him ... Don't worry na mung," He hurriedly stopped the slap from his friend whose face was red, he was about to swing the backpack again.

"Oh, Nong Parm, since dating with Ai Dean, I am so sad and lonely." Win laughed brokenly before stopping. He passed the bag to the owner who now have a displeased face.

Parm did not answer, but went to sit beside Phi Dean and hugged the bag tightly. 

I think that it is unlikely to last, and I didn't expect I will be teased since stepping on the bus. 

He sighed guessing that he would be teased a lot throughout the trip. 

"Don't think too much. These guys are just pranksters." Dean stroked his head to console him. Actually, the target of their teasing was Dean. It seemed they wanted to see him embarrassed for once, but somehow it didn't work.

The boy was able to draw a smile before looking around. The seats on the minibus were divided into pairs, except the last row that had 5 seats. Phi Dean and he were seated in the front row while the next seat was used for placing the foam boxes, the drinking water and sweets. Behind them the others were either sitting together in pair or sitting alone. Moving or pairing together as comfortably as they please.

"After another hour, we will stop by at the gas station, then go directly to the bridge over the River Kwai. Rest for lunch and go to the resort." Dean explained their itinerary for the day. They were not only going on a simple trip, but for a vacation. Some people had already gone there many times before but some had never been there. So, the members were noisy, discussing what they planned to do when they arrived at the resort. Of course, they would go for swimming.
