Copter's POV

No matter how fast I ran, P'Kim remained a good four or five feet ahead of me.  I guess because he was taller and had longer legs than me, I could never hope to catch up with him unless he slowed down but he was running as fast as he could.

Finally, when I felt that I was just about to collapse from lack of air coming into my lungs, I stopped in my tracks and yelled as loud as I could, "P'Kim, please stop running!"

"Then stop following me!"  he yelled back.

How can you argue with a comeback like that???  But at least he had stopped running as well. 

"Why are you running?"  I wanted to know, because he had been running away from me ever since that moment when he saw me hugging P'Tee..

"Why are you following me?"  This jerk was not going to give me the time of day.

"Because I want to explain about what you saw earlier." I had to raise my voice because he was still far enough not to hear me if i spoke in a regular volume.

"I don't wanna hear it!" he yelled and started to run again.

I collapsed to the ground in frustration.  I hid my face on top of my bent knees while wrapping my arms around my legs.

"That's it,"  I told myself.  "You blew your chances just because you were showing some sympathy for someone who needed it."

Wait, someone was crouching beside me.  I looked up and saw that it was P'Kim.  In my great relief, I started to sob in the most pitiful sound.  I had no thought whatsoever about being ashamed of it.

Then I felt him reach out and put his arms around me.  "Ssshhh, ssshhh," he said.

In  between sobs, I told him about how P'Tee came to the dormitory with his eyes all red and puffed up.  I had helped him carry his luggages up to his room and he told me about how his parents had left for the US without him.  They had wanted him to come along but he chose to stay because he had won the role of Beam for the series.  I hugged him to comfort him when he started to cry.  And that was the exact moment that P'Kim had come in.

"I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions," said P'Kim, "I thought there was something going on between the two of you," he added while moving even closer to hug me tighter.

"Errrrrmmmmm!" said a voice behind us.  We broke apart and looked to see who it was. I felt like I was going through the same experience in one day, twice. First it was with P'Tee and now with P'Kim.  Why do I have to feel guilty?  I'm not a player, never will be.

Kimmon's POV

"Bas!"  I exclaimed, "why do you always interrupt me when I'm in the middle of something good???"

"But P'Kim," he said, pouting at me, "I was looking all over for you because my video game session with P'Godt had finished and I wanted to spend some time with you," now he was pouting at Copter.

"Please give me a few minutes, then I'll join you," I said.

"Okay, but don't take too long," he said before stomping away.

I took Copter in my arms again and then pulled him up.  "I'm sorry that our first day at the dorm had a rough start."

"It's okay," he said, "the important thing is that we have cleared out any misunderstanding.  I mean it's not like we are in a relationship that I have to explain my actions to you, but I just wanted to make it known to you that there's nothing going on between P'Tee and me."

Ouch, that hurt when he said that we are not in a relationship.  The truth can sometimes hurt.
