“That’s the story. After that, I lived my life really poorly until these day”
Boom leaned his back as he rubbed Nelly’s head. Although his face is not very good, Boom kept his cool until he finished the story.
The atmosphere in the room is dead silence. Only be broken by Belly’s soft bellow.
“I’Li?”
“Hm?”
“You good?”
Throughout the whole story, Lifa being a good listener, No interruption at all, allowing Boom to tell the story smoothly until it reached the end.
“Nothing, I just felt…sad. You’re so talented, but you’re being used like a tool”
Those words made Boom’s eyes widen for a moment.
“It’s true that you’re so good that no one can challenge you. but being forced to force oneself by others for their own sake? That’s not a good thing, ya’know?”
As she spoke, Lifa leaned her head on Boom’s shoulder.
“You were being used like a machine to the point you got injured, but they didn’t care and continued to use you until your injuries became worse and worse and you ended up taking a break for several months. Due to the fact that you were under a lot of pressure from all of the people in the province. After all, being gone for a long time wouldn’t be a good thing, right? When you decided to come back to the race. Your body didn’t turn out as expected. in the end, you had to retired from that”
Finished speaking, Lifa slowly lifts her head up and stares at Boom with her pink eyes.
“Did you really want to become a runner?”
“.....”
That question made Boom think back to the time when he got asked to become a runner during the sports day.
It’s true that he can run extremely fast…But that doesn’t automatically mean that Boom wants to be a runner. Although he can make a lot of money if he can join the national team. But it comes at the cost of many things, such as having less free time because he needs to train a lot.
But Boom doesn't want any of that.
He just wants to live a rather slow life. Wake up and eat a bowl of cereal, play games and end with chicken rice for dinner before going to bed. That’s his dream life.
Although it sounds rather pathetic and the society might call him a disappointment. But that’s really all he wants. He doesn't give a single shit about what others think.
But he can’t do that because he still needs to get a job after he graduates. He will choose a job that is not too strict and must have enough holidays so that he can enjoy his free time.
Work life balance. Sounds like that.
There’s a motto from one of his favorite anime that he adheres to, which is that his only reason to work is to fulfill his hobby.
After a moment of thinking, Boom sighs.
“No…Not at all. I still have no idea what I want to be”
Right now, his future is completely aimless.
“I even planned to go to vocational education at first. But after looking up, there was no branch that is suitable for me”
“What about the information technology department? Did you look it up?”
“I did…But it’s no longer available, same with BP. But mainly…I don’t want to be separate with I’Tar and I’Poo”
“You really love your friend”
Out of love, Lifa gently pinched Boom’s cheek. Which Boom don’t really mind. Instead, he patted her head and smiled.
“Thank you for understanding me. You really are an angel”
Boom said with a soft voice and those blue eyes that looked at her. Lifa couldn’t hold back her blushing face until she lightly slammed her forehead against Boom’s shoulder and hit one of his legs with her tiny hand.
“You’re blushing?”
“S- Shut up…I’m not blushing”
“Nice way to lie. Right, Nelly?”
“Meow~”
Lmao, Boom laughed a little before turning his PC on.
“You’re normally not like this…Not at school”
“And this is a school?”
Being countered like this made Lifa completely silent.
“You can come back and get it in the evening. Stay here too long will only increase the suspicious of the others”
“You can do it in a day?”
“Yeah”
“Ok, sure. Come here, Nelly”
“Meow”
It’s late in the evening. When Lifa is about to go visit Boom again. He comes and waits at the front of the house and hands her work back.
“You really did it in a day”
“I told you”
Hm! Boom let out a soft breath.
“Don’t forget to cut your hair.The school is almost open”
“Yeah yeah”
Lifa touched Boom’s hair before going back into the house.
“Is my hair that long?”
He tried to play with his long hair that nearly covered his eyes. Still had no idea how he survived last semester without getting caught about not cutting his hair.
But whatever. He thought before going back home.

After a few days, The opening day of school has finally arrived.
Boom wakes up at 6am. while still sleepily. He goes to take a shower, gets dressed, and eats breakfast.
“Where’s Beam?” Boom asked.
“She’s already outside” Tak answered.
‘Maybe she’s talking with I’Li’ When he went outside. Boom sees Beam and Lifa waiting in front of the bike.
Lifa in the school uniform that he hasn't seen in a while with a backpack. It made Boom’s heart beat a little, but he kept his cool.
“You look really good with short hair” Lifa praises.
“Yeah. Should we get going?” Boom turned to Beam and asked.
“Sure” Beam answered..
“See you at school”
“You won’t come with us?”
“I’m not getting sandwiched today”
“C’mon, Just a little”
After some arguing, Beam and Boom hop onto the bike and leave for school.
Due to its first day of school. The traffic is quite congested on the main road near the school. So Boom took the shortcut route instead. Which is the same route that he found Nelly.
When they came out and arrived at the front of the school, they slowly drove through the gaps between the cars and finally got into the school.
“That was quite intense”
“What the fuck was that drive, bro? We’re almost hit the car”
“Don’t call me brother with the tone like that”
“If you say so. I’Boom”
While walking to the stadium and insulting each other. Beam noticed the figure of a person she’s familiar with.
“Tid!”
“? Oh, Beam”
It’s Tid.
A young boy from the market before walked to greet Beam and Boom with a water bottle in his hand.
“Good morning, P’Boom”
“Sup, Can I have some?”
“Wai–”
Boom steals the bottle from Tid’s hand and drinks half of it.
“Thanks, lil bro”
“I just bought it…”
“You’re a retard, you know that?”
“You little bitch…”
“Whatever, I’ll go rally with my classmate with him. See ya”
“Ok”
After speaking, Beam separated from Boom. So Boom decided to go to the cafeteria instead to get something to eat.
He bought 4 sticks of fried meatballs and ate them while walking to the stadium. And throw it into the trash after finishing.
The stadium itself hasn’t changed much since last term, aside from the addition of 2-3 spotlights on the poles.
Boom looked left and found his class friends sitting not too far away. So he walked over and sat quietly.
Some of them are rushing their semester break homework. Boom, who finished it the day before, is now sitting and chilling with his phone without any trouble at all. Because that essay can be done by either writing or typing.
“Hey, Boom”
One of the male classmates called out and crawled over to Boom.
“What?”
“Did you finish your essay?”
“I did”
“ “Can I have a look?” “
Suddenly, A horde of hungry zombies, men and women, surrounded him from all directions. Boom has no choice other than to let them have what they want.
“That’s Boom for you”
“Always dependable”
Tar and Chompoo suddenly appeared out of nowhere, hurriedly took out their phones and took pictures before grabbing that essay to copy it as fast as possible.
“It has to be bookbinding, ya’know? Will you make it in time?”
“Yeah, I will. The teacher said it’s due this evening, right? I’ll do it at noon”
‘Welp, suit yourself’ Boom moved away and sat some distance away. After a few minutes of observation, There’s only a few people who actually finished the essay.
Luckily, Lifa had told him at that time. Otherwise, he would have had to suffer a lot of work since the morning.
“You’re chilling huh~”
And then, A girl's voice sounded stupidly close to his ear, it made Boom terrified.
When he turned to look, He found Lifa who sit beside him.
“The heck was that?”
“I just want to scare you a little”
‘little, my ass…’ Boom muttered.
“Li, Did you finish your essay?”
One of the girls came to ask.
But before Lifa could answer, the whistle sounded, signaling all the students to assemble.
All the students who haven't finished their work all mutter ‘Damn it’ before going to assemble.
“Yo, my homework”
“Here”
Chompoo handed him his homework before going to assemble.
After assembly, pay respects to the national flag and pray. All the students returned to their class. And there was no change in the class itself either.
The first day of the second semester, most classes will not be taught. Or at most, they’ll have to write down some basic lesson or listen to the teacher yapping about their life.
But there’s always one teacher that must hate the students or something, they always give homework on the first day of school.
This type of teacher is often hated by most if not all of the students.
“What the fuck is wrong with that teach? Giving the students homework on the first day of school…”
“Yeah, not to mention he gave a lot of it too. I haven’t even bought a single freaking notebook yet”
Currently, school is over. Boom and Tar were sitting in the backyard behind the school nurse office, complaining about the Thai teacher. Chompoo who is right next to them nodded in agreement while eating her grilled chicken that she just bought.
“Hey, relax. It’s not that much”
“From the first page to the 15th page is not much!?”
Tar talked back and slapped Boom’s head loudly. Till his phone fell out of the table.
“The fuck is wrong with you!?”
Bam! Boom slapped back with his mighty palm, making Chompoo laugh uncontrollably.
“What the fuck are you 2 doing?” She asked.
“Ask your fucking boyfriend! Not me!”
“Lol, sorry sorry. Your head is a great slapping place”
“Take it easy, Boom”
Lifa tries to calm the situation. Boom muttered ‘Why you interfere’ before picking up his phone.
“.....”
As he bent down to pick it up, He happened to catch a glimpse of Lifa ‘s pink striped panties.
Because she is sitting with her knees hugged, Boom could see it completely.
But with his poker face skill that he trained for a long time, No one suspected anything when he came back up.
“I’m going home”
“Why leave so early?” Lifa asked.
“I’ll go to the club”
“Aren’t you bored about that place?”
“No”
After answered, Boom walked away and let out a long sigh while he’s covering his face.
