"I can't wait to see you guys. I wish next week will come faster."
Ice smiled hearing his little brother excitedly telling how he feels. His hands keep beating the egg in the bowl. He looked at his brother on the phone screen.
"I can't wait too.", Ice said and smiled to his miles away brother.
The boy has been abroad for almost two years now. He's majoring a culinary at a university in France. He hasn't come back to Thailand in two years. Now Ice could see his nong again as he was having a school break.
Suddenly his door was knocked from the outside.
"Wait a minute, Fire.", Ice said to his brother.
Fire watched his phi walked away to the door. He heard someone's voice talking to Ice.
"I'm hungry. Have you cooked something?"
"...."
"Er.. I have class this morning."
"...."
"Thank you, Ice! I love you!"
Top walked to Ice bed but his eyes catch Ice phone.
"Hey, Fire. Ice, you're having a face time with Fire?"
"Yes.", Fire replied annoyed.
"You've grown up.", Top said.
"Top, it has been two years. Of course I'm growing up.", Fire replied.
Ice just watched his bestfriend talking to his brother. Even both of them haven't meet yet, they always bickering to each other.
"I'm older than you. Call me big brother.", Top nag.
"No way, Top!", Fire replied.
Top laughed. Even Ice and Fire are brothers, they have an opposite personality. Ice is a cold person. Not really like to intrude with other people. But Fire is really a bold person. Full with spirit. Just like their names. Top really like to tease Fire. The boy would cursed him when he felt really annoyed. But Top like it. Fire looks really cute when he's angry.
"Stop teasing him, Top. I'm going to hang up. Don't forget to tell mother and father that you're coming home, okay?", Ice said.
"I will. See you soon, big brother."
Ice nodded. He ends the face time. Top then looked at Ice.
"Fire is coming back?", Top asked.
"School break."
"Really? When?", Top asked. Ice frowned when Top sounds so excited, as if it's his brother who's coming back.
"Next week---"
"Tell me when you're going to pick him at the airport. I'm going too.", Top quickly tell him.
Ice frowned but then he shook his head. "Whatever you want."

"Ice. Can you go home by yourself today? I have a football practice this evening.",Top said.
Ice nodded. "Don't worry. I can go back by myself."
After they bid a goodbye, Ice walk up the stairs to go into the art faculty building. He glance at the watch on his wrist. He's about to be late for class now.
"Ice!"
Out of nowhere, Daw suddenly popped up in front of him. Ice rolled his eyes and tried to ignore the guy.
"Hey, wait!", Daw blocked Ice's way in.
Ice tried to escape but he can't. He rolled his eyes and stared at the Daw.
"What do you want?", he asked. Daw smiled.
"Have your breakfast?", Daw asked.
Nod.
"Free for lunch?"
"No. Busy. Excuse me.", Ice replied and try to leave but once again Daw stop him.
"Wait!"
"What's wrong with you?!", Ice asked.
"Can I see your time table?", Daw asked.
"For what?"
"Just give me!"
"No! Way!", Ice sighed. "Look, Daw. If you want me to pay your money back, okay! I'll pay, but not now. I'm in rush. I have class in 15 minutes. So, can you please let me go first?"
"Time table, first.", Daw asked. Ice groan then took out a piece of A4 paper from his file pocket and hand it to Daw. It's his time table.
Daw took it with a bright smile. He took a picture of it.
"Can I predict?", Daw asked while snapping. "I predict, we'll meet this at the canteen."
"Silly!", Ice cursed. Daw smiled when he saw Ice hand gesture.
"Here. I'll see you later.", Daw said, giving back the paper then cares Ice's head which made him stunned.
He looked at Daw who's already leaving. He blinked a few times before shook his head. Trying to come back to his sense.
"What just happened?", Ice cupped his own face.

Ice sat alone at the canteen. Top already told him that he can't have lunch with him cause he have a date with Ink. His new girlfriend, a junior from the faculty of medical. I can't say she's his girlfriend, because every week his 'girlfriend' will always change.
Ice looked around. He suddenly recalled what Daw said to him this morning.
'Are you crazy Ice. Why bother with his words? Back to your sense!'
Ice nag to himself.
"Can I sit here?", out of blue someone talked to him.
Ice looked up to see the person. He quickly gave him a 'wai' when he realized it's his senior, Mix.
"Hello.", Ice wai.
"Hello.", Mix wai back before taking a seat besides Ice.
"Alone?", he asked again and Ice nod for reply.
Ice wanted to talk to him, then took out a notebook and a pen from his bag. He was a little bit nervous as it's quite a first time for him when someone come to talk to him.
"Wait. It's okay. You don't need to write down. I can understand sign language.", Mix said. He knows what Ice trying to do.
"Really? How?", Ice asked.
"My uncle is mute. So, automatically I know how to talk in sign language.", he explained. Ice nod, understood.
"So. I was surprised when I know you can hear. Not all mute people can hear like you, you know? I can rate, 1/10?", Mix said.
"Yes, but not everyone have the nerve to talk to people like me.", Ice said.
"Yeah. You're right.", Mix agreed.
Ice smiled. His eyes sometimes wandering around. Totally looking for someone.
"Are you looking for someone? Or, you have a promise with someone here?", Mix asked.
"No! I was just enjoying the vibe.", Ice denied.
"Oh, if that so."
'Silly!'

"Don't forget to send me your essay next monday.", the professor demand.
"Yes, professor!"
"Then, see you next time."
"Thank you, professor."
Ice keep his books in the bag. Suddenly he saw the pen that was paid by Daw last time.
"You better pay me back."
Ice looked at the watch on his wrist. It's almost 5 o'clock. He's so sure the football club still on their training session.
'I should go.', Ice monologue and quickly pack his things.
Go where? Of course to the field.

"That's all for today's training. I hope you guys can do well and more improvement from you.", Pun said to the boys. "And..Top."
"Yes?"
"I see your potential. If you practice harder and improve your skill a little bit more, I can put you together with Daw as the main attack. Okay?", he said.
"Yes, senior brother!", Top replied with excitement and Pun respond with a nod.
"The competition is close, so I hope all of you take this serious and don't skip the practice. Got it?"
"Yes, senior brother Pun!"
"Good! You can go now."
"Thank you, senior brother Pun."
They get up and walk to the side of the field. Top saw someone familiar, standing near the field.
"Ice!", Top called him.
"Training is over?", Ice asked.
"Er. Senior brother Pun ends today's training a little bit early than usual. I was about to ask you if you already finish with class.", Top replied.
"My class ends early too.", Ice said and Top nodded.
"Hey! Senior brother Pun said, he'll put me together with Daw as the main attack.", Top tell Ice.
"Really?"
"Er. But I have to practice a little bit more."
Daw kept looking at Ice and Top who are busy talking to each other near the side field. Pun is talking to him but was ignored.
"Daw! Did you hear me?", Pun asked.
"Yes, senior brother.", Daw said.
"You're not even listening, you bastard!", he cursed the captain.
"Then, can I leave now?", Daw asked. Daw sighed.
"Yes, yes! Go."
"Thank you senior brother.", Daw wai then left him.
"Why are you here anyway?", Top asked.
"Ice!"
Both of them looked at Daw who's running towards them. Top frowned when Daw suddenly called Ice's name.
"He knows you?", Top asked. Ice didn't respond.
"You're waiting for Top?", Daw asked. Ice nodded.
"Hey, wait. How come both of you know each other?", Top asked.
"It's destiny.", Daw said while staring at Ice.
"What did you said?", Top asked. He started to feel angry.
"Top, can you leave us for a moment?", Ice said to him.
"No!", he refused. But Ice stared at him and give him a sign to leave.
"Fine! But you better explain everything to me later.", Top finally agreed and stand a little bit far from them.
"So, what do you wanted to talk about?", Daw asked. Ice sighed and took out his wallet and hand in a mount of money to Daw.
Daw didn't take it. "What is this for?"
"Paying back your money.", Ice said.
"Didn't I told you? I don't want you to pay back."
"But you keep bothering me.", Ice sighed. "Just take it. I don't want to have any debt with you."
Ice put the money in Daw's hand. "I hope you understand."
Daw slightly sighed. "Okay. I'll take it. But, since that my prediction that we'll meet at the canteen on lunch didn't come true, can I predict again?"
Ice stared at him. Daw smiled. "I predict we'll have lunch together tomorrow."
"Silly!", Ice cursed the leave him.
"Hey, Ice! Are you leaving? Then, see you tomorrow!", Daw said and waved at him. But Ice just ignored him then left with Top.
"I predict, you'll be mine."
