Finding true love is hard for being a teenager. But being a die-hard fan is
hard to be brokenhearted.
Tine TheChic
Freshman hazing has just gone, how about you my Ms. Right? When will you come?
Great shot!
"Hey! What the heck are you guys looking for? Kill the Like button!"
Ding~ Ding~ Ding~ Ding~
"I liked your photo like my fingers are gonna break down, damn it."
"Sorry for being too popular! Haha."
"Kyaaaa! Tine, let me kiss you." These freaking annoying voices are my gangster's.
We are only four, including me. They want me to call them James Ji*, Pope*, and
Mario* under the name 'The Star Gang' but actually, I can't find any handsomeness
in them. They are no match for no one.
(* famous Thai actors)
The boy who said that last sentence is Puek. His assumed name is James Ji, but he
looks nothing like James, not even a little part.
Beside Puek is Ohm whose hairstyle is one of a dude from the 'Cute Boy' page. He
assumes himself as Pope, saying his handsomeness is of a nobleman.
Next to Ohm is Fong, a Chinese-like boy with tiny eyes. His mom used to own the
Gold Shop business in China Town, but his family has already moved to settle
down in their new home near the university. He said the mafia forced them to
move. Freaking liar. He thinks he looks like Mario because they both have pink
nipples. You know what? Mario is Thai-Chinese-German, but Fong is part Thai,
Chinese, and a bit of Singaporean.
For me, I am not sure who I really look like, maybe Nadech* or Mark Parin*. It
depends on how high their drama ratings are. Pff! Just kidding.
"Tine..."
The laughter has gradually faded away because someone has interrupted.
Have you ever wondered why many things in the world need to be in pairs? And
when they are separated, it feels so lonely. I am the person who used to be
addicted to things in couples, whether it is about friends or lovers.
I can say that I've never once been lonely. I supposed because I was in one of the
top 4 boy schools in Thailand, that is why girls always came to hit on me. But
when I became a first-year student in college, my high school life gradually changed until I couldn't help asking myself that...
How did I get to this point?!
I used to date many girls since I was in high school. You can call me the coolest
guy in my year. Try to ask my juniors in my school, no one has ever heard the
name Tine Teepakorn, grade 12, room 9. If you ask them, "Do you know Tine?" I
bet you, everyone will say "Are you crazy? Don't you know Tine? He's sooooo
cute! Cute as fuck."
And about my ex-girlfriends, there are many types of girls I went out with. Like...
A bookworm...
"Ging, are you free today?" I asked her with the most attractive voice. She is the
one I had a big crush on because she's my first love, pretty and smart. Most
especially, many boys wanted to date her, so I felt like I beat everyone in the top 4
boy schools. I was the freaking winner.
"Why?" She asked me with a sweet voice.
"You want to hang out at Siam with me?"
"Ah... I have Math tutoring."
"Then tomorrow..."
"I have a class in Chemistry."
"How about Saturday?"
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I have Biology, Physics, and English tutoring that day. Then on
Sunday, I've got Thai and Social classes all day long."
"So when will you have free time?"
"Let me pass the entrance examination first. If everything works out, then we can
go anywhere you want."
So she dated me in this life but will hang out with me in the next life, right? I
wanna have an ordinary girlfriend, not Albert Einstein or Charles Darwin. Finally,
we broke up because I told her without thinking to 'go date with a tutor'. You
know how it turned out...?
She has already dated an English tutor!
A camera-addict cutie pie...
"Tine, let's take a selfie together."
Her name is Pangwan. She is a cute, innocent girl that always sticks with her
camera like glue.
"Okay."
"Together, let's say Lycheeee..."
"Lychee!" I said and grinned like a Cheshire cat.
"Cherry..."
"Cherry!"
"You are soooooo cute." She pinched my cheeks, awww.
"Let's eat now."
"Okay, kyaaaa! Cheese Pie is coming! Let me take a photo first. Tine, can you take
a photo for me?" She handed her camera to me. She did not just hand it, though. She thrust it into my hands.
"Okay. Moomoo!"
Click~
"Argh, my face looks swollen here."
"Really? Let's retake it. Alright! Three, two..."
"Done?"
"Yes."
"Tine... you did not say one. I still have no idea how to pose." What the heck? I
saw you make a puffy face just a moment ago...
Enough! I can't stand this kind of girl anymore. I'm gonna lose it.
A picky type...
"What do you wanna have today? I will take you anywhere you want."
When I date with someone, I always try to be like a sugar daddy. Whatever she
wants to buy or eat, I will serve her like she is a princess. Like today...
"I don't know. It's up to you, babe."
Girls are always like this. They want us to think for them when it comes to food.
"Let's go to the Seafood place."
"That one? Nah, we can't finish it. It is too much."
"How about spaghetti? I remember you like carbonara."
"Noooo, it is too greasy. I will puke if I have it now."
"What do you want to eat then?"
"Up to you, babe."
I started rolling my eyes, trying to think of many dishes in the world.
"Japanese food?"
"I'm sick of it."
"Pratunam's chicken rice? It is very famous."
"It will make me fucking fat! "
"How about salad? You can't get fat from having salad."
"No, it is not filling."
"Then tell me what you want to eat."
"Why would I ask you if I knew what I wanted? Think about it."
You prick!!! Maybe we can have a meal in our next lives? Think about!!
A show-off...
"Tine, why don't you have any time for me lately?" She's Bebe from a Convent
High School. Fresh and new. Her skin is clearer than a three-month infant.
"I am studying hard, babe, but I am free today. Do you want to see a movie?"
"What is your car brand?"
"Civic. I borrowed it from my big bro."
"No way, I have never sat in this kind of car. The seats must be tough. I can call
my driver to give us a lift." Did she ride in a spaceship? So your seats are soft like
clouds, huh?
"All right. Let's have dinner together after the movie, okay?"
"Wait."
"What's wrong?"
"I wanna go shopping for a bit. I have no new cosmetics lately. Need some Mac
lipsticks and new Dior perfumes because everyone uses the same scent. I also want
a new bag. Louis Vuitton feels like a cliche now."
"Oh. Okay."
"Which brand of bag do you think is gorgeous?"
"I don't know a girl's taste." If I said she should get a canvas tote bag, would she
do it, huh?
"Tine, you can't help me with anything."
I felt so disheartened that I wanted to take her to some storehouse and let her pick
things for herself.
Of course, I broke up with her. No time to waste!
An attention-needed girl...
"Why didn't you answer my call so many times?"
How could I pick up my phone when I was pooping? But I couldn't tell her that so
I needed to come up with an excuse.
"I am busy. I'm studying hard."
"Are you studying hard at night also?"
"I need to prepare for the university entrance."
"Right! I know I am not important to you. If you don't have me anymore, will you
feel sad?"
"Why did you say that?"
She's sobbing.
Then she cut off the phone, uploaded her crying photo on Facebook, and tagged
me. Urggggh, everyone thought I was a scum!
An always-on-period girl...
"Namwan, what's the matter?"
I touched her on the shoulder. She made a sulking face since we were on the
skytrain. I thought she'd feel better after a walk, but it'd gotten worse.
"Don't mess with me. You made me so mad."
When did I....
"What made you mad at me? I didn't do anything."
"If you still don't know what made me angry, just go away."
"What's wrong? Tell me so I'll know how to make you feel better."
"I'm on my period, okay? Leave me alone."
"Okay! I will leave you forever!!!"
My fun high school life ended after that because I got into a suburban university.
No more enjoying myself at Siam and Paragon. And since my destiny took me
here, I encountered a bizarre situation. It was...
"Tine, can you hear me?" This voice was my latest bizarre thing in my life.
"Wh...What's the matter?"
"This is for you."
"For me?"
"Yes."
I looked at the person in front of me from head to toe. That hand gave me a red gift box and I awkwardly received it.
"Thank you."
"Tine Teepakorn, first year Law student. I have a crush on you!"
Whaaaat theeee fuck?! Where is the camera? Is this a sitcom or something?
"You...You're kidding, right?"
"No. I really like you. Please be my boyfriend?" I really wanted to throw the gift
box on the ground.
Guinness Book, please record my most outlandish experience.
I just got a love confession.
But!!
The person who confessed to me...
Is a boy!
