One Summer Break

 Part 1 : Vacation

One day:

‘Don’t forget to study during summer break, students! Being on holiday doesn’t mean you can get lazy. I will now hand out the list of books you need to read.’

The voice of the teacher continued droning on endlessly about last minute assignments.

Jian Yi made a face as he nudged the boy sitting in front of him with his foot.

‘Why the hell do we need to study during our precious holidays?’ he whispered to Zhan Zheng Xi.

The other boy just ignored him in favour of taking the pile of hand-outs from his front neighbour, taking one for himself and one for his idiot friend, who kept on complaining, gradually getting louder.

‘I mean, come on! We need to make great memories, enjoy our youth, feel the sun on our skin, run on the beach hand in hand, kiss by the…aaargh!!’

The other boy had stomped on his left foot with all his strength..

‘So mean Zhan Xixi!’ the blond sobbed, nursing his now aching foot.

‘Shut up, moron!’

 Meanwhile in another classroom, a redhaired boy was already gathering his stuff, waiting impatiently for the school year to end. When the bell finally rang, he was the first to get up and make his way out without looking back. Many of his classmates, on the other hand, watched his departure with a mix of satisfaction and disgust. He didn’t care, he was used to being hated. ‘You’re better than those two-faced fuckers’ he told himself, frowning. At the door, he paused to look left and right. As the hallways were all clear of a certain bastard, he hurriedly exited the school. He hoped in vain that his tormentor would forget about him during the course of summer. 

At the other end of the building, said tormentor was effortlessly leaning against a wall, surrounded by his usual fan-club.

One of the pretty girls asked him, ‘What are your plans for this summer, He Tian?’

‘Play with my puppy and train him’ the boy answered, grinning like the devil.

  The next day, Mo Guan Shan was flipping through the adds newspaper when his phone got off.

New message from: H.T. BASTARD

Little Mo let’s go on a vacation. And come cook me dinner tonight I’m starving.

Fuming he was quick to type his answer to the annoying black-haired boy.

To: H.T. BASTARD

ARE U A FUCKING IDIOT? Don’t bother me again asshole. Just starve to death or whatever.

His phone quickly received a new message.

From: H.T. BASTARD

So heartless! Why not? Let’s have fun together ;)

From: H.T. BASTARD

Oh and because you didn’t come last night I might really die from lack of food.

With an increasing frown on his face, Mo Guan Shan chose to ignore the nuisance and resumed his reading. It wasn’t long before he realised this was not going to stop the other boy from pestering him.

From: H.T. BASTARD

Come cook for me or I’ll come to your house and punch you…

From: H.T. BASTARD

Just come little mo

From: H.T. BASTARD

Aww don’t pout MOUNTAIN. Just come cook for me, asshole. You know your food’s the best.

From: H.T. BASTARD

Answer me DON’T CLOSE MOUNTAIN

To H.T. BASTARD

JUST SHUT THE FUCK ALLREADY! ARE U A FUCKING BRAT! I can’t tonight. Promised my mother we’d have dinner together. So go buy a bento, you lazy fuck.

From: H.T. BASTARD

Alright I guess. But we’re still going on a trip, you and me.

To H.T. BASTARD

WTF? I never agreed to that shit. No way I’d go anywhere with you bastard. Piss off!

From: H.T. BASTARD

Why not? Not like you got anything better to do anyway.

To H.T. BASTARD

Shut up or I’ll kill you! Why would I want to see your ugly face during summer break? And unlike you rich bastard, I need to get a job. I don’t have time for your shit.

After that, He Tian stopped harassing him with messages. ‘Good! Looks like I finally got to shut his mouth’ the red-haired teen thought, smirking victoriously. At the same time, Jian Yi got a phone call while he was heading towards his best friend’s place.

‘What do you want, He Tian?’

 The next morning, Mo Guan Shan woke up to the sound of voices outside his bedroom. Just as he entered the small kitchen, he heard his mother speaking.

‘How long will you boys be gone?’

He tensed when he heard a dreadfully familiar voice reply.

‘For five weeks, auntie.’

‘Mom, what’s he doing here?’ he said in a still sleepy voice, his brow already creasing.

‘Oh, good morning son. Student He Tian came to tell me about your summer plans. You should have told me earlier’ his mother replied, gently scolding the confused boy.

‘Huh? Our plans? What…’

His mother went on, while getting busy around the kitchen.

‘Well anyway, it’s fine. I’m actually glad that you’re not staying at home all the time this year. You should enjoy your holidays after all. And I’m proud that you’re so hard-working as always. Just take care of yourself and don’t cause any trouble. I trust you, Mo Guan Shan.’

His sleepy mind was unable to make sense of what she was saying and he could only watch as the petite woman put on her jacket and took her hand bag.

‘Now I need to get going. Don’t forget to call me we you get there. Have a safe trip.’

She waved them goodbye, leaving her son frozen. 

Next to the him, He Tian enthusiastically replied,‘Bye, auntie.’

Soon, Mo Guan Shan turned in his direction with an accusing glare.

‘What the fuck just happened? What on earth did you tell my mom, you sick bastard?’

‘I just explained that we’re going on a vacation’, the taller boy replied happily.

‘What? Do you want to die? What did you not understand? I’m not going anywhere!’ Mo Guan Shan said crossing his arms angrily.

He Tian let out a sigh.

‘You’re so stubborn. Everything has been taken care of. So stop being a pain in the ass and listen to me. Go pack your stuff, we’ve got to be at the station in one hour.’

‘Fuck off, He Tian! Don’t decide by yourself. I told you I need to find a job. Don’t you have someone else to piss off?’

The black-haired teen was quickly loosing what little patience he had. The alluring redhead always seemed to bring out this side of him. He wanted nothing more than to kidnap him and maybe shut him up with his mouth…

Shit I’m getting off track here…

He approached the frowning boy, towering over him like an impeding threat.

‘And I say it’s been taken care of. I got you a job as a cook at a beach resort. Or rather Zhan Zheng Xi did. He’s working there as a waiter along with Jian Yi. Said they were short on staff. So stop bitching!’

He continued in a lighter tone, ‘I get to be a waiter too. This is gonna be interesting!’

He then got closer to Mo Guan Shan, his smirking lips close to the other boy’s ears and his left hand coming to rest on his hip.

‘The best part is, we still get a lot of free time. I can’t wait to see you in swimming trunks, all wet’ he whispered teasingly.

‘Get off me, you pervert!’.
