Present Year 2021, Thailand

Today is the first day of Bas in Senior High School, like in the past he woke up early to help his Mae to prepare her foodcart and all the food she is going to cook and sell.

Coughhh...coughhh.....

The coughing of his mother caught the attention of Bas. " Mae, are you ok?" He asked as he hurriedly went to the kitchen and saw his Mae looking pale while trying to hide her hand and greet him joyfully.

" Ohh, Good Morning my Pretty Son! " His Mae said with smile not minding his question which makes him more worried.

" Mae!..., don't evade my question please, i heard you cough frequently these past few  days." Bas said in frustration as he gaze at his Mae with worry.

" I'm okay Son nothing to worry about, just caught a cold because of the weather."

" Ok but after my school i want you to go with me at the doctor please." Bas said with worry and pleading eyes she can't help but agree with me.His Mae nodded and ruffled his hair which makes Bas annoyed.he doesn't like it when his Mae do that.

By the way name, Bas Piniwat, 17 years old and currently Senior in Saraburi High School. Bas is also a typical geek with eyeglasses since his vision is not good, a dean lister which makes him one of the school scholar. Right now Bas is helping his Mae to cook her menu for the day, that she sell near at the school. And since it's located on the busy street and also at the middle of business district, his Mae food is always sold out.

Bas father died in a Bus accident 2 years ago, he is one of the unfortunate casualties passengers that died on the spot. It was hard for them to move on but with his mother positive outlook, they overcome it and continue their life. Now he is in last year of high school and don't know if he can still continue his studies. Their foodcart earnings is just enough for their daily needs and to pay some bills they owed. Their small house was pawned to his Por boss and they are doing their best to reclaim it since it's the only thing his father left for them.

" BAS,

Basss..., In which planet you are now???" His Mae shouted and flicked his forehead with teasing voice.

" Oucchh.., Maeee." Bas pouted playfully.

" I was calling you but seems your mind is not here." his Mae snorted seeing Bas actions.

" I'm sorry Mae, I'm just thinking about Por." The moment his words comes out, Bas instantly regret it, he felt stupid and sorry for his mindless thoughts.

" It's ok Son, I already accept it beside i have you with me. I'm sure your Por doesn't want us to be sad everytime we talked about him." His Mae said in understanding and patted Bas head with smile and continuously cooking.

" Anyway, i want to know what time your class will be finish? " she asked while trying to hide her pain remembering her husband.

" Hmmmm...since it's first day maybe around 2pm Mae." Bas answered in unsure voice as he continues chopping onions.

" Ok, just come home first and rest before you come to me." She sternly told and Bas can't help but sigh since he already planned to help her but knowing her Mae, she will just make him come home. Bas nod to her and they continue doing their daily morning routine.

( At Saraburi High...... )

Typical of first day, students are scattered around, every classroom is filled with excitement and lively noises,some was playing around with their phone while others is having a nice catching up with their friends. Bas section is same as the other room and nobody notice their principal standing at the door.

" Ehemmm...Good Morning Class!!, " the School Principal said the moment he came in.

" Good Morning Principal!! " they all shouted as they hurriedly went back to their respective seat.

" Today we will have a substitute English teacher, He came from Bangkok and currently doing his advocation by teaching every place he comes by. Class let's welcome your English teacher Mr. Joss Sangern!..."

As soon as the school principal said it, Mr. Sangern walk in, he look like a model who comes out from men's magazines. Some student gape openmouthed while staring nonstop at their new teacher, the room went silence as they all mesmerized.

Mr. Sangern smile while facing his student, he was used to it everywhere he goes, as he talk to the principal and bid goodbye. Once the principal left the room instantly bustling with loud noise, girls and gay screaming their obvious admiration, they can't help but express admiration to their new teacher, guys grunting their annoyance and bitches start drooling and fixing their selves to look good infront of their new teacher. Mr. Sangern look around amuse with his student antics and with a loud and stern voice.

" Good Morning Class, I'm your English substitute teacher for three months, so we will be together until your English teacher come back from her maternity leave. I'm Joss Sangern but you can call me Sir Joss,
So class kindly introduce yourself please." He smile warmly after he introduced himself and look around,  but his smile faltered when he saw something pique his curiosity.

The student started to introduce their selves and some tried to ask a personal question to their teacher that he politely answered.

This goes on..

" Sawadee ka Khun Ajarn , My Name is Bas Piniwat, 17 years old and I'm also the class president of this section. If you have any questions regarding about this school and other activities, I'm here to help."  Bas nervously says and keep clenching his hand while talking since Mr. Sangern keep staring at him.

Bas tried his best to act normal and resume his seat once his teacher nod at him. As he sat down his best friend Bonus tap his legs to get his attention.

" Ai'Bas, do you know Mr. Sangern?" Bonus ask in whisper since he notice the new teacher keep randomly looking at his best friend direction.

" No, this is my first time seeing him and let's talk later." Bas whisper while shaking his head in confusion since he also notice how the newly teacher look at him and both them just shrugged it off.

The introduction was finished and Mr.Sangern give them a bit insight of their lectures. He told them to study the first part of Fundamental English language then bid them goodluck. He discreetly glance at Bas direction before headed out and soon the class A-12 is filled with noise again and excitement because of their new teacher.

As the day went by break time comes and the corridor was filed with group of students heading to cafeteria . One of them is Bas together with his bestfriend.

" Hey Bas, mind if i ask again why Mr Sangern keep staring at you? " Bonus asks with a frown on his face.

" Ughh..Really Bo....i already told you I don't know him since this is my first time meeting him. He make me uncomfortable you know!.." Bas slumped exasperatedly at the chair and tried not to think too much. " By the way where's Ai'Bank? "

" Why ask me?.... Duh.. I'm not his keeper! " Bonus said uninterested and rolled his eyes.

" Well... I just thought you know since he is your c- "

" Shut up, will you!?" Bonus hissed in panic  cutting Bas word as he put his hand on Bas mouth and look around, he sighed gratefully when there's no people nearby.

Bas look at him in sheepish grin and wink which earns a smack on his head.

" Ouch!!...sorry." Bas said while rubbing his head.

" Anyway I'm going to buy my lunch before the line get longer, do you need anything ?" Bonus asks after he compose his self.

" Water please and thanks Bo." He said with knowing smile which annoys his friend.

As Bonus walk towards the food stalls, Bas take his lunch box out and wait for his friend to come back. A sudden voice from his back makes him turn and look up.

" Hey Fag!.. why you're still here!!??? " the girl Yuki said loudly  and sneered when some people turns at her direction and start whispering. Her friends behind her grin evily and mock Bas. " You're just waste of piece of trash in this school! "

Bas just ignore their remarks and acted normal but deep inside he is beginning to get anxious. His hand start to sweats already, still Yuki and her cohorts keeps taunting Bas. A sudden voice interrupted the commotion.

" Is everything alright, Mr Piniwat? " Mr Sangern sudden appearance and question makes Yuki stop her nonstop verbal bullying. They all look sweetly and acted nonchalantly before facing Mr Sangern.

" Nothing Sir Joss, we're just reminding our class president his place." Yuki said sweetly and innocent while talking while her friends who all nodded while trying their best to look attractive.

" That's good to hear Ms. Armida." Mr.Sangern said as he look serious at them before he continue walking.

They all smile watching their teacher left and Yuki bend down and whisper spiteful words for Bas ear.

" Be glad Ajarn save you in time but mind you Fag, tomorrow will be hell since he is back.." Yuki smirked triumphantly and left when she saw Bas pale instantly.

At that moment Bonus arrive with his tray of foods and Bas water which he grab and gulp instantly. His breathing change erratically with anxiousness and his hand shaking while holding the glasses. Bonus notice the changes of Bas action and can't help but get worried.

" Bas, What's wrong, did something happened while I'm gone? " Bonus patted his friend back and looking worried.

" Yuki.... B-but she told me he is back Bo and I don't think my senior days will be ok " Bas voice falter with worries and fear as Bonus look at him with understanding.

" I'm sorry Bas, how i wish i could do something to help you but you know my Dad works on their company."

" I understand Bo beside I'm glad you are still with me even you get in trouble sometimes." Bas said with smile at his friend.

" Hey, you're my best friend Bas, and don't think too much for now ok. Let's eat before the bell rang and our classes start again." Bonus started to eat his food which makes Bas do the same.
Bas smile to hide his worries and start eating.

In Another Part of Cafeteria ....

"  Sawadee ka Khun Joss, mind if i share your table." A girl voice asks politely which make him look at the source.

" Sawadee Ka Khun Grace, sure just don't mind me, I'm alone anyway." Joss replied politely to his co worker and offer her the vacant seat.

They start eating and talk about school, Joss asks about her class and which level she is handling.

" I'm a music teacher, i hold every level and I'm adviser for music club."

" You have interesting Subject Khun Grace." Joss nod his head as he keep eating.

" You don't have to be polite, Grace or Ms.Grace is ok since I think our age is not that far." She smile flirty and wink at him.

Joss chuckles and smirk with the obvious flirting of his co worker. " Anyway Ms. Grace, how long have you been teaching here? "

" Hmmm...Almost 5 Years i think."

" Aww so you know everyone here? "

" Kind of, ....Anyway i have to warn you about this certain student, At this moment he is not here but i heard from our faculty staff, he will be here tomorrow. Please ignore him and don't meddle on his activities if you want to stay longer here. " she said with worry.

" Ohhh... Who is he that i have to be careful with? "

" Well he is the Son of the major stockholder of this school and also Grandson of one higher Government official here in Saraburi." She said in whisper.

" Ok, I will try my best not to meddle his business then." Joss nonchalantly told her as she look scared.

Grace continues flirting with him which makes Joss cringe and almost throw up. Girls like her is not his cup of tea. He is happily committed and had a long time relationship even he is always away because of his continuous working travels.

The bell rangs to start their afternoon classes, Joss went toward his office while his co worker rush to her class subject.  As soon as he enter his office he take his phone and dialed.

" Hello Babe miss me? "

" Not at all Asshole, how are you there? "

" Bored .. but something pique my interest here, i might stay for a while." Joss laughed when he heard what the other line said.

" Are you tired of me Asshole?, hmmmm..good then but I'm one of kind, for sure you will not find anyone like me! "

" Fuck Babe, your joke is not funny at all!"

" Hahaha...anyway what it is?"

" Can't tell at the moment Babe, once I'm sure i will let you know."

" Ok Babe, i trust you but be careful not to play too much ok."

" Hmmmmppp!!....As if i can do that, I'm good here."

" I love you and miss you babe..."  his partner sadness can be heard in another end of the line. Joss felt down after sensing it but tried to cheer his voice.

I miss you too Babe and Love you so much, I can't wait to finish my work here." Joss heard a dial tone and sigh thinking his Babe. 

" Just wait Babe.... I promise to be back soon! "
