Opposites Attract (PerthSaint)

Ch. 46 It could be love (Beach trip)

(Translators note)

Pete

It's only been a couple of days but I have already taken notice of one word: Alone.

The teacher was talking but I didn't hear a word, I softly sighed. I'm thinking of going home tonight because there's no reason for me to return to my apartment.

No one called me to watch the soccer game this night so I slept.

When did I become the kind of person that's afraid to be by themselves?

I question myself, even though we have had week holidays off from school before, I knew that I could still see him if he came back to school and I was still immersed in the apartment.

But now Ae is traveling with friends... he must miss me.

"Pete are you okay? Are you uncomfortable?"

The girl next to me asked out of concern as the class ended and I laid my head down on the desk sighing against it.

"It's okay, I'm fine."

"Then has something been bothering you? I heard you sighing all trough-out class." 

She still sounded concerned. I denied with my head still keeping my face down on the desk.

"No, I'm fine."

I reassured her with a smile, and suddenly her hand started to reached toward me.

"But your face looks sick and pale, feverish..."

*She tries to touch Pete's forehead to confirm but Tin walks in, scared she flees.

Finally Tin puts his phone in his bag, his tone being indifferent: "You're too kind. She was obviously trying to get close to you from the start."

"But I've never given her any hope, none at all and you know that I absolutely  don't have that kind of sentiment for woman."

I told him directly because at this point he clearly knew that in regards to me. I thought he would say something about Ae that would make me mad but he didn't. He actually used an unusual friendly tone.

"I know."

* A bit of talk about Can, and Pete taking note that Tin is much more happy and accessible.

They arrive at the parking lot and:

My phone started to ring with a melody so I look down to check the message.

[ We went to pranburi and are preparing to go to the beach to play some soccer ]

I've only read this sentence and I'm already giddy and bubbling with happiness 

"Do you think I'm cheating you?"     

(He asks himself that because he's with Tin at this moment)

I'm really happy laughing, my mouth going crazy.

Kind, only because Ae gave me his itinerary since we couldn't talk much last night, he had to pack his bags and from the sound of his voice watch an important soccer game that night. He seems really invested in the game by the way he always speaks about it.

"Tell him that you're just going to stay with me now."

I finished replying to Ae telling him that I was outside the school with Tin. I denied with my head as I turned from my phone towards him.

"You're not mad at Ae, and your not trying to mess with me anymore. And I can recall that the relationship between Ae and Can is one made of steel..."
