Hello.

I just arrived at the University.

My eyes?

Ever since I underwent LASIK surgery, it's like a whole new world.

I've got to go, Mom.

950?

Who is this?

-Pai! -Gosh!

What are you doing?

What? I was waiting for you.

They're calling us to gather up. I don't want to get scolded. Hurry up.

What? They still scold at you these days?

It's Thailand,

where whatever existed 200 years ago still exists today.

Quick! They're calling for us.

-Oh, wait. Wrong way. It's that way. -Gosh.

I want you to be our faculty's male representative.

Me?

Please. Do it for me.

I don't think I'm suitable for it. You should find someone else.

Hey, look at that.

Who's Itt walking with?

Oh, that's Phai, a female representative from the Faculty of Engineering.

Itt's a male representative from the Faculty of Engineering.

See? They've all selected theirs. We're the last ones.

Pai, please. Can you do it for me?

I don't think so.

I'm not into activities.

I wouldn't win the contest anyway.

I'd be wasting your time.

Please excuse me. I'll have my lunch.

I have something to talk to you. Get on!

Is your butt made of gold?

Can't you ride a bike? Get on!

Can't you be more careful?

We're here.

Get off.

What is it?

Did you forget what you promised me?

I never forget.

When you're in the last year of high school,

the first day of school...

...is just another day with the same people you already know...

...in the same environment.

You just go to school and wait to graduate.

It's simple.

That might be the case for others, but not for me.

I studied in England for five years and moved here recently.

There is nothing simple about my first day of school.

Where are my parents?

They had something urgent to attend to at work...

...and had to leave early.

They asked me to tell you not to worry about school.

You are very good at adjusting.

They will be home for dinner.

All right.

Uncle Dong, you don't have to pick me up.

I'll get home by myself.

Pai, how can I let you do that?

You just got here a few days ago.

What if you got lost?

Your mother would reprimand me.

You won't if she doesn't know.

I know how to get home.

Don't worry. I can take care of myself.

It turns out taking care of myself is harder than I thought.

Hey, sorry.

Darn it, I shouldn't have moved here.

Are you all right?

That brute has no idea.

He's just a dimwit.

If he hits you again, say something.

Here.

I know being nearsighted is a disadvantage...

...but I didn't think it would prevent me from finding him.

(Longlao School Grade 12 Room 1 Counselor: Ms. Panuwat Im-aimsuk)

I'm Pai, Pantoon Wongworawet.

I moved from England so I could get into medical school here.

What is it, Witsanu?

There's only one more year left of high school.

Why didn't you just study there?

Well, my mother wanted me to study medicine here.

Your parents are weird.

So are you.

A wuss like you probably got bullied and had to come back here.

Okay. That's enough.

Pantoon, you sit next to Witsanu.

Everyone, please take care of him.

Go ahead.

Moving on.

Since our class is a special science program,

we'll need to send representatives to the academic club.

I've given you a test.

The three students with the highest scores will join the academic club.

Pai has finished this same test.

The student with the highest score will be the club president.

The results are in.

Waan, you definitely got first place.

You're always top in every subject.

You're exaggerating.

All right. Let me announce the results.

In third place we have...

...Kusalin.

In second place we have...

...Witsanu.

And first place goes to...

...Pantoon.

Congratulations to the new president of the academic club.

Thank you.

But I only applied for the club per the school's rules.

I want to focus on my studies, not extracurricular activities.

I'll pass.

Pai?

Can I sit with you?

Why are you so cold?

It means aloof, unfriendly.

You studied in London. How can you not know that?

Are you really the top of the class?

If I said it straight, would it get a laugh out of you?

In case you don't know, I'm Waan.

Let's...

...be friends.

Is that all?

You know me well.

I just...

...want you to reconsider your decision about being the club president.

This academic club isn't that bad, you know.

It has a cool name too. It's called the "Bishop Club."

The Bishop Club is exclusive to the sharpest minds...

...in this school.

You're about to be the king.

Are you seriously going to give up the throne?

If it's that good, you can take it.

Not everybody wants to be king.

Can I go home with you, my friend?

I told you. I don't want to be club president.

I'm not here to hassle you.

I just want to go home with my classmate.

We're neighbors.

Pracha Uthit 48 Alley, right?

How did you know?

I know everything that happens at this school.

Come on, let's head home.

I told you. I want to go home by myself.

Two heads are better than one.

Didn't you learn that in London?

Let's go.

Same thing. What about you?

I want to try something new.

I'm bored of seeing the same faces.

Slow down, tiger.

Take some pity on society, will you?

I can't help it. Society needs me.

Excuse me.

What time does school end?

Well, around 3:00 or 4:00 PM, depending on the class.

Are you picking up your children?

No, I'm picking up my boss's son.

Do you want to ask a teacher, or make an announcement?

It's fine. He doesn't like to be intruded upon.

Oh, there he is.

Okay.

-Sometimes, I don't even sleep. -Pai?

I'm here to take you home.

Wow, you have a rich family.

What a fancy car.

Can I have ride with you?

I'll get off at the intersection.

-Sure. -Seriously?

-I can give you a ride home. -Seriously?

-Yes. -Whoa.

Let me tell my dad. It will make him jealous.

Sure.

Done.

I can't wait to get into the car. Pai, your car is so cool.

Incredible.

-Drop him off at his house, please. -Of course.

Hey, thanks, man.

No, thank you.

Don't follow me.

-Wait. -Pai!

Pai! Pai!

Hey!

What was that?

It's like a chase scene in a Bollywood movie.

How ridiculous.

If I were his father, I would have smacked him.

Does he think being rich gives him a free pass or something?

-Unbelievable. -What's going on?

Where is he running off to anyway?

Come on.

Hey!

You have a nice phone.

It's probably expensive.

Taking another person's property is considered theft.
