2 weeks after the second semester opened.
Everything inside and outside of this school, Both academics and activities seemed smooth and normal.
Someone even joked saying ‘It isn’t this smooth, normally’ which was enough to get some laughs.
In the meantime, There were periodic sports day meetings to prepare for the sports festival event that will be held at the end of November.
And this is the final day of the meeting.
“Hey, you! That one on the top. Please raise your hands higher”
“LOUDER! LOUDER!”
Lifa and Chompoo are still doing a good job as trainers. Both of them are extremely dedicated to this job. To make the cheering part come out as good as possible.
Not only them. The other seniors in S.5-6(Mathayom) who are available and are eager to help. Including holding the music lyric signs, clapping their hands, making cheering gestures, and even helping to hand out water and snacks.
As for the drummer, They are confidently assembling the new drum set they had just rented the day before. And Tar is the one who is most excited to use this drum set.
“I’Beck. Can you go buy a drink for me?”
“What drink do you want?”
“Thai tea”
“K”
Boom’s duty is still the same. Is to catch the kids who try to slack off the meeting.
The meeting took place in the same cafeteria. Except today the weather is hotter than usual, Causing the cheerleader to practice inside instead.
“Here”
Boom receives his Thai tea and goes to sit at the nearby table.
Seems like there’s fewer kids slacking off today. Perhaps, it’s because of the hot weather outside.
(Is this really winter?)
Does Thailand even have a winter season?
That aside, Boom just continued sitting there and stared at the middle schooler practicing their cheering song. Even though they don't sing very loudly.
“How's it going?”
“? Oh, P’Por”
Por approached with a paper in his hand and said hi to Boom who’s currently absent-minded.
“It’s good, The middle schooler seems useful”
“What a shitty word. You know that?”
“Whatever. Btw, Why are you here?”
“The teacher asked me to come and check or something. Thought of stop by to buy some drinks here”
“How’s the other team doing?”
“They’re doing good. But look like your middle schooler seems pretty energetic today”
“Look at the one who teach them”
“Understandable”
Because both Lifa and Chompoo are already good-looking. And it gives the boys in the team some encouragement. As for the men in the team, There is some good-looking people here. Making the girls in the team a little more energy to work with.
“You’re quite handsome. ya’know? Why don’t you try?”
“Nah, I prefer to be here”
“Well, suit yourself. I gotta go”
After speaking, Por walked away. Boom is still checking around to see some kids who might try to slack off.
“Hey, Where are you going?”
Got 1.

After several hours, The meeting is finally done.
Before leaving, The staff and teachers gathered together to wish themselves and all the middle school schoolers good luck for tomorrow.
“Your larynx is still OK right?”
“The megaphone didn’t do shit…”
Chompoo drinks some water and sighs.
“The middle schoolers performed really well,” Lifa commented.
“Yeah, Better than first time”
‘I got tired when I saw you two’ Boom commented with sympathy. Because durings the afternoon. All the cheerer kept singing out loud in the cafeteria. Plus, there are sounds from the other teams coming as well. Causing the sound to mix together to the point of being almost unintelligible.
“Hey, bro”
Meanwhile, Beam comes up to him with a costume backpack and sweat all over the place.
“Did you just take a bath?” Asked Tar.
“Yeah, man. The water is really cold…..Cold my ass! We’re been practicing all day long!”
Beam shouted out. Judging from how dark her eyes are, it seems like she is dedicated to being the cheerleader as well.
“You’re done?”
“Not yet. I’m taking a break and I’ll continue practicing”
“Until what time do you practice?”
“Around 6-7pm.”
Currently, It’s 3pm.
‘Damn, you’re serious about this’ Boom remembers that there was a time when Beam had to stay somewhere else. Causing her energy to live her life to decrease drastically.
“Hang in there, Beam. It’ll be over tomorrow”
Chompoo gives her words of encouragement and hands her water. Since she had been the cheerleader before, they can understand each other really well.
Boom secretly smiles at Beam’s efforts. This is one of the few times that she and her friends were willing to practice this hard for tomorrow.
“Ok. I’ll wait. I’ll tell mom and dad about this”
“Ok ok, Thanks bro”
Once they had agreed, Boom went to sit and wait at the table nearby. Tar and Chompoo asked to leave first.
“Aren’t you going back home, I’Li?”
Only Lifa was left who had not returned.
”Not yet, I’ll stay here with you”
“Your butler will definitely call you, idiot”
“Don’t worry, I just told him about this”
“That’s quick as fuck”
kuku, Lifa laughed menacingly before showing her call history.
Boom feels like Lifa is strangely clingy to him lately, whether it’s morning, afternoon, evening, even late at night. Lifa always comes to talk to him in discord as if he were her personal buddy.
Someone once made a joke saying ‘Does Lifa like Boom?’ to which Lifa said, ‘Yeah~I really like him’. But because everyone thought it was a joke, they let it go.
“Are you really sure about this?” Boom asked one last time.
“Yeah, Are you perhaps worried about me? Hm~?” She smiled.
“No, If you get hurt, I would be the one who get fucked up, ya’know? That’s why I’m asking”
“I’ll be fine. I already use team practicing as an excuse, Just to be safe”
“Damn, you’re good at this”
After a while, in the evening, The cheerleader practicing went smoothly without any problem.
“Wanna eat something? I’ll go buy for you”
Boom go ask his sister, who’s currently taking a break with her friends wearing a blue cheerleader strapless costume with a fluffy knee-length skirt.
“Anything you choose, bro…..What else you all want?” Asked Beam.
They all answer the same thing, which is ‘Anything’. Perhaps everyone is exhausted from practicing, So they don’t have enough energy to feed their brain to think of anything.
“Boom”
Lifa called him with a soft voice. As he approached, she brought her face close to his ear.
“What?”
“How about treating them Moo kratha?”
“You thought they had money?”
“I’ll pay for them”
Huh? Boom muttered.
“Since it’s the last day. I just want to increase their motivation”
“You serious?”
“Yes, I’m serious”
With that face and tone of voice, She must be serious. Boom knew that arguing would be a waste of time, so he had to give in.
When he told them about this, Everyone burst into cheers. Beam even jumped and hugged Lifa.
“Thank you so much~ I really want you to be my sister”
“You damn brat…”
Boom muttered before walking over to mess with her hair.
“Thank you very much, Lifa. The teacher will also help you pay”
The team teacher walked in and thanked Lifa with a delighted expression. In which Lifa replies ‘No problem’ because everyone had worked hard and deserved a reward.
After changing their clothes. Everyone made their way to the usual Uncle Tom’s moo kratha restaurant and enjoyed their meal.
◇◇◇
The next day, At 5am. Boom and Beam in the sports day uniform had arrived at the school before the sun even rose because they and the staff had a lot of work to do before the opening ceremony.
Beam quickly went to meet her cheerleader friend in the dressing room because they needed a lot of time to get ready.
Boom also needs to go help the others with the cheering equipment on the grandstand. And he’s not the only one who had to do something like this.
“Want some coffee, I’Boom?”
“Yeah”
Tar handed him a can of coffee and went back to carrying water. When he turned to the other side, He sees Lifa and Chompoo and 2 other people who were helping to tie the straw ropes to grandstand poles.
Due to the grandstand of this school being one long stand, They had to tie a rope to demarcate each color to prevent confusion. While the other team’s staff is also doing the same thing.
“Hey you there, Can you help me with this?”
“Uh, yeah sure”
And he got called upon, This is why being the staff is so difficult.
About the decoration, each team looks as complete as last year. The blue team of Boom comes in the theme of the sea.
(Damn, My team goes all out)
After 2 hours, the preparation part is finally over. Later, Boom had to help Tar who’s currently memorizing the lyrics.
“Here your water”
Lifa handed them a bottle of water. In which they gladly accepted it.
“Has the middle schooler arrived yet?” Asked Boom.
“Some of them. You’ll need to go check on them too”
“God damn it” Boom muttered.
After a while. The grandstand of each team began to have people coming until they were full.
At 8am. All students must pay respect to the national flag, followed by morning prayer.
‘Alright, Are you ready!?’
‘YES!’
‘LOUDER!’
‘YES!!!’
A sound erupted from the yellow team next to him, as if asking for unity. In which the blue team is not going to let that slide and proceed to do the same thing.
“So loud…” Tar mumbled.
After that, A voice announced ‘The opening ceremony is about to begin, All team please be ready’.
“What about this year's parade?” Asked Tar.
“It’s quite astounding. I just happened to pass by” Lifa answered.
“Wait, I’Li. What time did you come to school?”
“um…Around 4am. One of the very first to be here”
“Don’t overdo yourself too much. Didn’t you have to go carry some stuff as well?”
“I’m fine. Please rest assured”
Judging by her face and eyeliner. There’s no way Boom and Tar are gonna believe that.
Dum! Dum! The sound of drums from the opposite of the grandstand followed by announcements signaled that this year’s sports day had begun.
“Now, Let the sports festival of the year 25xx. BEGIN!”
