ACT 2
-Tavahn high school, first day of class
Shit! Sinthorn cried. The cast covered his whole left leg, so he was having a hard time getting out of the car. He slowly manuvered his way out of the car, trying not to bump his leg on anything. He then sat down on the wheelchair he was supposed to use while his leg healed.
Owwww!! It hurts, Mother!
Son, you had a choice to stay at home and get home schooled, but you wanted to come anyway. So what do you want me to do about it huh?
Nothing! I'm just in pain, don't I get to cry in pain?! Ughh, Sinthorn complained.
Sinthorn - This is the most important year of my high school career and you expect me to stay home?? I'll miss out on all the things seniors get to do!
Mrs. Tanagarn - Well then, be a big boy and suck it in. You got yourself into this mess. You know...your dad and I rented those tracks for you, so you can stay safe, but what do you do? You turn around and drive on regular road anyway! And now what happened!?
Sinthorn - I know, I know, Mae. You don't have to keep reminding me okay. I'm suffering enough already.
Mrs. Tanagarn - Good; a lesson taught is always good for you. Anyway, we have a program here called "student aid." Since you will need help, we will pair you with another student who has the same classes as you, so he/she will be able to help you get around school. This program is a very good program, it will inforce student responsibilies and allow a student to have leadership roles in their community. I will arrange this with the counselor and dean and we'll get you a student aid as soon as we can match up your classes.
Sinthorn - Whatever, I really don't care. I have tons of friends who can help me.
Mrs. Tanagarn - Well, that's true, but what about when you go to classes where your friends aren't there? Trust me Sin, this program will help you.
Sinthorn shrugged and turned his attention to John, Masha, Lanee, and Edwin. The group of friends walked toward him, as he held out his hands, gesturing that he was the man. Masha touched his shoulders and gave him a kiss.
Mrs. Tanagarn - Sin, I'll see you later okay? Try not to move your leg too much. If you need anything, come and get me. Right now, I'm going to sign you up for that program.
She kissed her son and left him to his friends.
Masha - I was so worried about you, P'Sin! I thought you were dea-
Sinthorn - 180 mph and I still got out alive!
John - I know man. I told you you should have used the track. I told you so!? See dude, I knew it!
Sinthorn slapped John's head.
Sinthorn - Ai John! You asshole. Don't remind me!
John - Okay, okay. Sorry man, but damn man, you all busted up and shit. What are you going to do now?
Sinthorn - My Mae signing me up for some stupid program, where some kid is supposed to cater to me.
Edwin - Oh shit! I hope it's a hot girl.
Lanee smacked her boyfriend's head after he mentioned a hot girl.
Edwin - Oww! Laneee, I didn't say I wanted to kiss the hot girl, I just said I wished a hot girl is Sin's helper. I just want the hot girl for John! With a face like his, he will never get a girlfriend, unless we help him.
John - Whatever man, I can get whatever girl, I errrr... just choosey.
Lanee - P' Ed, you didn't say that, asshole.
John - I bet it's some scrawny ass nerd with 4 eyes.
Sinthorn - Pshh, I'll smack his ass around if he disobey me.
Masha - P'Sin, stop acting so bad. You barely can walk and you going to smack people around?
Sinthorn - Oyy, Nong Mash.. I'm just kidding!
The school campus was filled with teenagers running around crazy trying to get their schedule and classes in order. Some students looked like they knew what they were doing and some looked totally lost. Sinthorn and his friends laughed away at other students who were supposedly ugly, poor, nerdy, weird, or uncool.
John - Haha, look at that kid over. His glasses weigh more than he does!
Hahahaha! The group of friends laughed loudly, having a good old time at others' expense.
Then Edwin pointed to an unfamiliar girl, holding books to her chest. She was slowly making her way up the steps to the front of the school. She had on a old washed up looking grey dress, with small black flower prints on them. Her mary-Janes had visible little rips on them as they cover her feet. Her black sweater was unbuttoned as it hung loosely down her back. Her hair dark and long, covering half of her face. She clutched at her books, holding them to her chest as she looked down trying to hide her face.
John - Haha, who's that chick over there? She look like she just finish shopping in my grandmother's closet.
Edwin - Haha, she look more like your grandma, man.
John - Shut up, stupid. My grandma not that ugly.
Masha and Lanee looked at the girl and started laughing.
Masha - Well, whoever she is, she needs new shoes.
Lanee - Actually, she need a whole new outfit. I wouldn't be caught dead wearing that ugly thing in public.
Sinthorn didn't laugh along with his friends for a minute. He just studied her, trying to get a better look at this girl he never seen before. He focused on her face and saw that everytime, someone walk pass her, she would look down, and hide her face behind her hair. He thought it was odd how, even through the not so fashionable clothing and hair, she looked oddly beautiful. But he went along with his friends, and laughed at her, making the worst jokes than any other person in his group.
Sinthorn - She probably needs to get laid. Or better yet, get lost. What the hell is that ugly thing doing in our school? I mean, I'm already used to the ones we already have, but now, not only is she ugly, she's scary looking! Damn.
Masha - Okay you guys, I think we need to get going.
Sinthorn - Nong Masha! Can you push me to my first class? Pretty please?? Once that student aid kid get's matched with me, then you be free of me again okay?
John, Lanee, and Edwin then parted their way from Sinthorn and Masha, to go to their classes
Masha kissed his cheeks and wheeled him to his first class of the day. Masha gave him a quick peck on the cheek and went on her way to her class.
-Thailand history and economics class, first period
The school already got his desk ready at the back of the class for him. This will allow him to get in and out of class easily. He was pretty much the first one there. The students came in little by little. Sinthorn greeted the ones he knew. A group of girls went over to him and expressed their concerns and some flirted with him.
June - Ahhh ohhh my God, Sin!!! I hope you get better soon na ka. You want June help you?
Sin - June can help me by giving me kiss (he pointed to his cheek and she kissed it)
Most of the students have entered the classroom and have settled into their seats. Then the last student walked in holding her books to her chest. She eyed the last seat in the back of the class, in front of Sinthorn. As she walked down the asle, some students were making barking noises and some pretended to sneeze and squeeze in the word loser. The girl sat on her seat with her back to Sinthorn. He rested his hands on the desk, but moved them cause when the girl sat, her hair touched his hand.
The class was rowdy and the students were talking over eachother. Telling eachother about how their break went. Then the teacher cleared her throat.
Teacher #1 - Queit everyone! It's time to take roll. As I call your name, please raise your hands and state "here or present." Okay, let's begin.
Pim Tanni?
Here!
Jakrit Yeernan?
Here!
Sasha Juntwan?
Present!
Sinthorn Tanagarn?
Right here!
As the teacher called roll, Sinthorn's leg began to hurt him. The pulsating pain was traveling up his leg to his back and then to his head. He felt so uncomforting sitting in that wheelchair, trying to shift his weigh from left to right. He reached inside his pocket and cupped the painkiller in his hands, remembering that he'd already taken two pills before his Mother drove him to school. He then went into his own world, not hearing anything else, trying to numb out the pain. He took a look at the medicine again and read the labels.
TAKE TWO TABLETS WITH A GLASS OF WATER ON AN EMPTY STOMACH, EVERY 4-6 HOURS, AS NEEDED FOR PAIN. *MEDICINE MAY CAUSE NAUSEA, NUMBNESS, DRY MOUTH, BLURRED VISION.
Shit, all that side effect just to kill pain? Acckk, when are you gonna start working you stupid medicine?! My leg is killing me now!
Then Sinthorn was aware of his surroundings again as the teacher called out the last person on the roll list.
Salana Ontipak?
There was a few seconds of pause and the teacher called again.
Salana? Ontipkak?
Then the girl sitting in front of Sinthorn raised her hand shyly and spoke.
Heeere.
Ah, so that's her name, he thought and laughed inside himself, thinking about all the jokes he and his friends cracked earlier.
The teacher then proceeded to talk.
Teacher#1- Class, before we begin. I'd like to pass around a newspaper for you all to see. It's a warning to you all about the dangers of street racing.
Sinthorn rolled his eyes. Whatever, he thought. It's fun and I'm gonna keep on doing it. And because I can!
When the newspaper was passed to him, he didn't even bother looking at it. He just passed it to the next person that was to the right of him. Sinthorn then sat there and wished that the medicine would just kick in, cause he was getting tired of listening to the teacher lecture about the dangers of street racing.
