I Love You, Mr. Engineer

"Come on, Max, the night still on and you can still drink 5 or 6 more bottles without getting drunk," said Leon, one of several new students at the engineering faculty of Metronomia university, who was gathered at the Ocean Blue bar, releasing stress and fatigue after the second day of ESO (Engineering Student Orientation) which is tiring. Max heads up and spends his share of money. "I can't. I've promised Jane to bring the book she left in my room. She needs it tomorrow morning," Max said as he stood up. "Don't get too drunk, or you'll have to run around the field 30 times because you're late. The absences will start from 6 in the morning.""This damn ESO really makes me tired, even though it's only the second day and there are still 23 days to come," complained Pringka--one of nine girls accepted into the engineering faculty this year. Everybody on the table agree with her. Max waved goodbye to his friends and walked out of the bar casually. "Hey, Leon, who's that Jane he mentio

"What happened? Who were you fighting with?" asked Pran in a sharp tone. "Was that from last night?"Pran and Leon looked at Max who was sitting in front of them. Their best friend had a bluish-purple bruise near the chin, a laceration to the forehead and several lacerations to the fist. "Why don't you take us, Max?" Leon asked annoyed. "You said you went straight to Jane's last night.""I do!" Max replied casually. "I went over to Jane's for a bit, then saw someone getting ganged up on the basketball court near the 4th dorm, on the way home." "Who's the opponent? How are they doing? Aah, you're pissing me off. You should have called me. I need a little vent to release some stress." Leon said enthusiastically. Pran snorted and hit Pran's shoulder hard. "Don't encourage him to feel great, you idiot!"Max laughed and finished his lunch quickly. "Economics kids. Pete." Max said as he pushed his empty plate to the side of the table. "They misunderstanding to the people they attack.""P

"Aah, I'm so tired," Leon groaned as he squirmed like a worm and spread his arms far and wide. "I don't understand why the seniors are telling us to prepare for another event while we are still in this tiring ESO period," complained Pran."I thought we were going to be scolded and punished for fighting, but they just appointed us to lead the force, what the hell," Max growled in annoyance."You, in particular," said Pran. "We are just companions.""Bullsh*t! You too," Max said while punching Pran lightly on the shoulder.Pran complained that his arm was sore."Hey, Max, since you're friends with doctor Ken, why don't you ask him to give us some strong medicine or supplements?" Leon asked."What do you think? He's not a drugstore owner," Max said. "He's a freshman just like us.""You know, your friend is quite famous, especially among girls," Pran said with a laugh. "They went crazy over him and formed a kind of fan club.""No wonder. He's very handsome, an aspiring doctor, and he mus

"What? The election of the moon and campus stars? But it's been three months since the first semester started and we're busy with quizzes," Ken said in disbelief.Danai shifted his plate to the side. There was still a bit of salad and fried chicken left. Discussing about Campus Moon and Star made his appetite decrease."Usually the selection of campus moon and star begins at the beginning of the semester, after the university orientation for new students is completed, but there are some suggestions that some participants are selected only based on their physical shape and face, but their brain content and behavior are not measurable. So, they decided to make this event is in the middle of the semester," explained Danai at length."When you were sick, the dean distributed a questionnaire to the new students, some of the seniors from each class and made a sudden poll on the spot to determine which men and women are worthy of representing the medical college. Each of their criteria nomin

"Ken, this is chapter two," said Foy, handing Ken a piece of paper without looking.He looked up when he didn't hear Ken's response. "Ken? KEN!"Ken snapped out of his reverie and looked at Foy frantically. "Eh, what? You called me, Foy?" Foy's brow furrowed. "Ken, are you daydreaming?" "I, uh, no, I just... Uh, why are you screaming, Foy?" said Ken nervously.Foy put the pen on the table and folded his arms across his chest. His eyes narrowed at Ken. "Ken, you've been acting weird since yesterday. You're unfocused and often daydreaming. What's wrong, Ken?"Ken smiled faintly and squirmed. "I'm tired, Foy. All this work is driving me crazy. I don't have time for fun because Danai dragged me here instead of the bar."Foy clicked his tongue and shook his head. "You haven't been on a date in a few days and I think Danai is keeping you here too to cheer you up. At least you can stare at the campus stars all you want."Ken chuckled and looked down again, trying to focus on his note. He d
