"Techno ... Is that you?" asked a figure that was not clear.

"Who is there?" asked Gun curiously.

"I ... I have been waiting for you for a long time" said the figure, then it disappeared.

Gun immediately woke up from his sleep. He looked confused.

"Techno? Who is Techno and who is that figure? Ahhhhh ... This is just a dream, there is no need to think about that"

Gun ignored his dream. He went to the bathroom, washed his face and brushed his teeth. Even though he was unemployed for a year, he never ignored his look. His face remained pretty until now, it could even be said that he was prettier than his teenages.

Every morning he brought his little dog to the park.

"Suay ... Come here, let's go to the park. But don't poop there, or I'll get another hit from the janitor. Do you want to see my head bump?"

Wuff wuff

The dog licked Gun's cheek while it was wagging his tail.

"Smart kid"

Gun walked to the park. The little dog followed him from behind without straps on it neck. From begining, Gun did not put straps on Suay's neck wherever they went. Expanse of Golden Chain Blossom trees on the edge of the road adds to the beauty of the morning in the city of Bangkok.

When they were entering the park gate, Suay was barking loudly. Gun was confused because Suay had never been so scared. Gun checked around, but he found nothing.

"Suay ... Calm down! What's wrong with you? What are you looking at? Hey ... Where are you going? Suay ... Hey Suay!"

Suay retreated slowly and continued to bark. Gun had no choice, he carried Suay and brought it back to home.

"Actually what happened with you? Calm down! You're safe with me" Gun was surprised because Suay never acted like that.

They arrived at home, and then Gun went to the kitchen to prepare their breakfast.

"Oh my ... The food supplies are limited, my savings too. I have to find a job. But what can I do? Aaargghhhh I don't know" he murmured.

Gun lived in a small house with Suay. His parents had separated when Gun was 9 years old. He was raised by his grandmother and father. His grandmother died when Gun was 10 years old and his father died one month after his thesis exam. Gun hasn't seen his mother since she left Gun.

Gun was busy thinking about what had to be done to make a living. He flipped through newspapers to find a job. As usual, no job was considered suitable for him. That day just passed like before.

Night arrived, he slept with Suay and after all what happened, the figure appeared again in his dream.

"Who are you? What do you want from me?" asked Gun

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, why did you leave me?" said the figure.

Gun woke up from his sleep. He did not understand why the figure reappeared and said as if they had met before. That's how the dream recurred for 7 consecutive days.

On the 8th day, he didn't dream of the figure again. But he dreamed of another person. A man with a black robe.

"Try it one more time!"

"What am I trying to do? What do you mean?"

"You will find out soon"

Gun was shocked, he woke up from his sleep and scratched his head like a confused person. He immediately went to the bathroom, washed his disheveled face and thought of the dream.

"A strange dream, why did I dream of something strange during this week? Am I too handsome that the two figures met me? But this is really strange"

Gun looked down at the water flowing from the faucet in front of him. His gaze turned to the glass, then he looked at himself. Suddenly Gun shouted,

"Aaaaaaa ....... !!! Who ... who are you?"

Gun retreated a few steps, he turned and looked around but he did not find anyone. He approached the glass and looked at the figure. He was shocked very much, he realized that the figure was himself when he was in high school.

"Wa ... w... wait ... Eihh ... This is me? H ... ho ... how ... how can?"

Gun held his face in disbelief. Repeatedly held his cheeks, eyes, lips and nose.

"Wait, I'm not back to in the past right? This isn't a dream right?"

Gun ran to his room looking for a calendar, he saw the same calendar, May 2018.

Gun did not believe, he was looking for his smartphone. It was impossible for a smartphone to lie.

"May 8, 2018. What the ... !!! How can this happen?"

Gun sat limply on the floor, he was confused and didn't know what to do. Suddenly he remembered Suay.

"Suay ... Where is he?"

Gun ran to find his little dog. He found Suay sitting on the sofa in the lounge. Suay ran towards Gun and circled at Gun's feet.

"Suay ..."

Wuff wuff

Gun carried Suay and hugged him.

"Do you recognize me?"

Wuff wuff

Suay licked Gun's cheek and sniffed on his face. Gun's gaze lead to Suay's favorite cake on the table.

"Who gave you the cake?"

The dog went down and ran towards the sliding door that led to the garden beside the house. Gun checked it but he found nothing. Strangely, the dog still remembers his master, even though his master's face has changed.

"This is really strange. Who gave Suay this cake? And how could Suay recognize me, even though I got it 3 years ago. It never saw my face like this"

Gun returned to the room with Suay in his arms. He lay down on his bed while he was thinking about what was happening. His eyes explored every corner of the room, and there was nothing strange. Then Gun's gaze stopped at the table. He saw a black note that he believed was not his.

"What book is this? I never had this book".

Gun opened the book and began to read.

Welcome back Gun.

Today is a special day for you. The day you returned to yourself 8 years ago. This is the greatest opportunity in your life to choose your life way.

Use this opportunity as well as possible to find out your true identity.

We have prepared everything you need to live. In the black box under this table we have prepared school files, savings, and all your school needs. Use your best so that what you expect is realized.

If you don't understand, write what you want to ask on the next page. We will answer it later

Thank you

Angel G.

"What is this? I have to go to school again? Are you kidding me?"

***

Gun looked for the box after read the note. He found the box and  opened it quickly. As written in the note, he found a passbook, documents and several other items.

"This is crazy ... How can that weird angel gave me all? ID cards, school uniforms. Huuuuh ... I can't imagine a men like me back to school"

Gun took the passbook and debit card provided. He opened the passbook and was surprised.

"1 million TBH? Oh my God... !!! What is this? where did the angel rob?"

Gun really didn't believe what he saw. He repeatedly counted the number 0 in the passbook.

"This is really 1 million baths, I never dreamed of getting this much money. But I'm lucky, he know that I haven't money. Hahaha ..."

Gun chuckled like he just won the lottery.

"Eh, but which school will I enter?"

Gun re-examined the document and turned it over.

"Surasakmontree School, Science-Math Program. Heehh ... This angel knows if I am a science student"

"Eh ... SU ... SURASAKMONTREE SCHOOL ... ?? This school, this is a band military school? Is that right? Ahhh this must be joking. How could I go to that school?"

Gun really didn't believe what he saw. Many question marks floated on his head.

"I think I need to ask all of this to him".

Gun put all the items back into the box. Then he took notes and wrote down all the things that filled his brain at this time.

***

"I don't dream anymore, ahaha ..."

Gun immediately took notes to find all the answers he needed, even he had not washed his face and brushed his teeth. Opened the note and sure enough, the angel had written down some answers he needed.

Your question is a lot

Well...

About the school that you have to enter is not wrong, that is correct. Surasakmontree School. Then all you have to do is come to school on May 15, 2018. On that day the new school year begins. We have arranged your transfer letter. So you have officially become a class XI student at the school.

Your identity is clearly changing. We exchanged it for a boy from Chiang Mai. You can see on the Self Identity sheet.

The opportunity we give is 1 year, but if there are no changes we will add it to 2 years.

You can use the savings to pay for your school needs, buy books, and also for your needs. Don't use it for not important things or waste it.

I don't need to answer other questions, not important!

Thank you

Angel G.

"He only answered 4 questions from 17 questions I gave. Shittt !!"

Gun remembered his new identity. He reopened the box and looked for the identity sheet.

"Techno ...? Why is my name so weird? Honestly I don't like this name"

May 15, 2018

Today is the first day of school. It was predictable that the unemployed man who had not been in school for a long time woke up late.

"Damn ... Why was I late to wake up. I didn't have time to have breakfast".

Gun continued to blame himself during the trip to the station. His house was quite far from the school, he had to take the MRT and take an online motorcycle to his school.

He arrived at school, he headed to the teacher's room. It was not difficult to find the room because he had read the school map from the Angel.

"Sawatdee krub ..."

Gun gave wai* to the teachers. Gun went to his homeroom desk\, Khun Pupae.

*Wai is Thai greeting consists of a slight bow, with the palms pressed together in a prayer-like fashion. The higher the hands are held in relation to the face and the lower the bow, the more respect or reverence the giver of the wai is showing. The wai is traditionally observed upon formally entering a house. After the visit is over, the visitor asks for permission to leave and repeats the salutation made upon entering. The wai is also common as a way to express gratitude or to apologise.

"Techno? Sit down!"

Khun Pupae immediately recognized Gun.

"Today is your first day at this school. I am your homeroom teacher, you will enter  Science-Math 1 class. Follow me, you must introduce yourself to your friends"

Gun nodded then followed Khun Pupae to his class. Along the way to class Gun continued to look around. He felt very impressed with his new school

"This school is very big, 3 times compared to my previous school. Good building, obedient students, not noisy, neat and disciplined" Gun murmured

Khun Pupae stopped in a class. She knocked on the door and gave wai to the teacher who was teaching.

"Sawatdee kha"

"Sawatdee krub"

Khun Big answered greetings and gave wai to Khun Pupae, the students too.

"Sawatdee kha"

"Thank you. Today I will introduce a new transfer student from Chiang Mai. Come here, introduce yourself"

Gun stepped forward and stood beside Khun Pupae. He look very nervous and tense.

"Sawatdee krub. My name is Techno. I come from Chiang Mai. Nice to meet you"

Gun finished his introduction. Then Khun Pupae left the class while Gun was standing in front.

"Techno, you can sit there"

Gun walked towards the empty chair near the window designated by Khun Big.

A boy sitting next to Gun greeted him.

"Hey ... I am Title. From today we can become friends. OK!"

"Hah, this kid really weird, act too cute" thought Gun.

"Ok, thank you" answered Gun

Khun Big continued the lesson. Gun could follow the lesson because in reality he was a Physics graduate at a well-known university in Bangkok. So this is very easy for him, but that lesson was so boring, so many students didn't pay attention to him.

The lesson was over, Khun Big left the class. Title shifted his chair closer to Gun.

"Hey Techno ... I think you are a smart kid, you seem enjoy this lesson"

"I'm not smart, I just like this lesson" Gun answered calmly.

"Can you teach me someday? I'm not good at physic. I'm also not interested in Khun Big. Huhh, if he's angry, his nostrils will immediately grow. It's really cool if there is a G on the left and GLE on the right of his nose."

Title laughed so hard while holding his stomach. Gun was still confused but when he realized what Title meant, he laughed.

"Hey what are you laughing at?"

A beautiful boy came to both of them.

"Hey Coo ... Since when did you stand there?"

"Don't call me Coo in front of other people!"

"Alright my dear Earth ... Don't be angry. I'll treat ice cream later. Ai No,  he is Earth, my lover"

"Lo... Lover?"

Gun was surprised, because this was the first time he had seen a male partner.

"Hi ... I'm Earth, nice to meet you. I hope we can be good friends"

Earth smiled sweetly at Gun. Everyone who saw his smile will surely fall in love.

"I'm Techno. Nice to meet you"

Gun smiled at Earth. But there were things that bothered him a little, so he ventured to ask.

"Hmm ... Who is the boy sitting in front of me? I noticed that he was just silent, sit alone and not saying a word to the others"

Gun pointed at a guy who walked away from the classroom with his cold face.

"Oh ... He is Mark"

***

Gun POV

"Ahhh ... His name is Mark. I don't know why he is so cold" I thought

"Hey Title, is Mark really cold like that? Doesn't he have friends?"

"Yes, he is like that. Many people say he is arrogant, so no one dares to approach him. He really doesn't have many friends"

"Eh, but he has a friend who is always with him. He's from the GEP class, if I am not wrong, his name is Mean" refuted Earth.

"GEP? I never heard of that class"

"Earth ... What is GEP class?"

"Ahhh ... GEP is a Gifted Education Program. A class with students who have special abilities, can be said that it is a superior class"

"That means the class of smart students ?"

"Yes ... You could say like that, but more specifically special abilities. So it's not only clever in academics, but also non-academics"

"But you are also lucky to be able to enter this class. This class is one of the best classes in this school, not like Title that hangs on the name. If his parent is not important person here, surely he entered the Thai-Social Program class" Earth taunted his lover.

"Ehhh ... Don't do that, if I don't enter this class you won't meet a handsome guy like me and won't fall in love with me"

"Hello... Are you okay? Isn't it you who fell in love with me first? Let's see, who gave the rose and acknowledged love in front of everyone? Do you know that is very embarrassing?"

"Tssk ... You brat, you are really childish"

I just murmured. Actually I was very hungry, but these two kids were still arguing. I began to speak up.

"I'm hungry, let's eat!"

"Why didn't you say it, Ai No?"

"Pardon....!! How can i say that if you are really busy with your bussines?"

Title took Earth and invited me to the canteen. He showed us some of the classes we passed. It was true, Gifted class is the coolest class. Luxurious building and very good class.

"What do you want to eat dear?"

"Oh ... Don't call me dear"

"Okay ... Okay ... What do you want to eat Earth, and you Ai No, choose the food you like. Today I will treat it"

Only that time I had a cool friend like him, when I was in school there was no friend like him. Yeah maybe because he was a rich kid, so money just flowed.

We sat on a bench near the school park. It was very pleasant to sit in this place, we could eat while enjoying the scenery. I ate the food in front of me. Earth only ordered the ice cream and Title a bowl full of Tom Yum.

When I was enjoying my meal, my eyes explored the entire canteen area. This canteen was indeed very large. Even my house might be only one third of this canteen. Suddenly my eyes stopped at a table not far from where I was.

I saw Mark sitting with 2 people I didn't know. They all seem to be childrens from the upper class. Title look at me.

"What do you see?"

Title followed my eyes direction.

"Aahhh ... Mark?"

"Yes," I replied

"That is the guy I meant. The tall guy in front of Mark is Mean, then next to  Mean is Saint. Maybe Mean want to introduce his friends to Mark, but look at him, it looks like he don't care" said Earth

"Never mind, ignoring them, let's eat, we have to back to class soon"

"Oohh ... I see. But even though he is with Mean, his face is still very cold. It seems like he doesn't have any feelings"

"Well, I also don't understand. Since class X he was like that. Maybe he is really difficult to get along with, or maybe he has psychological problems"

I continued my meal, and occasionally stole glances at their group. I only saw Mark's cold face, sometimes he just smiled thinly and turned cold again.

My plate was empty and we hurry back to class. But when I looked at the boy, I was shocked. I saw Mark looking at me accidentally. His face is very cold, cooler than ice. Then he looked away and went with his friends.

"Hey Techno ... What are you looking at? Let's go back to class!"

Title broke my concentration, he invited us back to class. When we entered the class I found Mark already sitting in his chair. He looked out the window, i didn't know what he was thinking.

A few minutes later, Khun Zanook entered the class and gave greeting to students.

"Sawatdee kha my students ..."

"Sawatdee kha  khun Zaanook"

"Eits ... Don't call me khun Zanook, but call me Mr. Zaa. Okay!"

"Kha Mr. Zaa"

What's the difference between Zaa and Zanook, it seems the same. Today's old people was weird. I just muttered to myself. Mr. Zaa was our English teacher, he was funny person but sometimes he was boring too.

"Okay, now open your book page 5"

We followed what Mr. Zaa ordered. Word by word, line by line, Mr. Zaa did not miss a word in his lesson. This was very boring for me, I thought I wanted to finish this material immediately. Time passed until the last lesson was finished. After I thought about it, this lesson was indeed boring. I didn't have the spirit, or the way they delivered the lesson didn't suit for us.

"Techno, do you want to back home with us?" Earth volunteered.

"Thank you, I can go home by myself. My house is very far away. You can go home first"

"Okay we will go first, Let's go Tle"

"I'm first No"

"Krub" I replied.

Title and Earth left me alone. The other students also came out, left me and Mark who still sat quietly in his chair and several student in front. I tried to say hello.

"Hi, I'm Techno, nice to meet you."

He did not answer and just silently looked at the window, i didn't know what he saw. I looked at the window, but I didn't find anything.

I didn't bother to get to know this boy, just wasting my energy.

When I left my desk we accidentally collided. Mark would walk past my desk and at the same time I would stand up from my seat.

Bugh

I fell back to my seat and Mark remained in his position. He looked at me and I looked at him.

"Tsk ...."

Mark just let out a small voice then left me alone confused.

"He hit me, but there was no apology" I thought

I left the classroom and rushed home. When on the road and on the MRT, my mind drifted somewhere. Mark, Mark and Mark. It was weird if that kid always appears in my mind. The first day at school after a few years, for me it was not too bad. Got a new friend and also a mysterious guy sitting in front of me.
