A Box of Supplies for You

Chapter 4's

Very rare things must happen in the end today. This is the most important time to know the fate of friendship between Ayla, Max and Ferro. Ayla intends to make a special food for Ferro as an apology. As well as being the reason to give Ferro a box of provisions made specifically by Ayla for the first time. Unfortunately, Ayla had to wake up late this morning.

He opened his eyes when the clock showed at 06:45 while his school started at 08:00. Fast enough for the rebels, but not for Ayla. Although Ayla is a little lazy to do certain things, but waking up early is not one of them. He was always the first to wake up at home.

After rubbing his eyes and realizing that it was noon - according to Ayla's dictionary - he immediately headed for the bathroom at lightning speed. It caused him to barely slip and fall in the bathroom in the most miserable way. Thank God the goddess of luck was still on her side

He spent 30 minutes bathing and getting ready. The fastest record this year. He did not have time for breakfast because the call from Max just kept ringing.

"Hurry now! I'm in front of your house!"

Tit.

Briefest. Dense. And vividly.

The thing Ayla never expected from Max on this day was that he came on a bicycle. There were two things that made Ayla distrust what happened to Max today. First, Max is the son of an extraordinarily rich man. Going to school on a bike is not his class. But this one is a little wrong. Because even so, Max absolutely does not mind taking the bus when he has a private driver who is ready to take him anywhere. The point is that even if it is rich, it is not arrogant.

Second, Max was the son of an extraordinarily wealthy man - again - therefore he could not drive any vehicle. And it turns out Ayla's assumptions were wrong all along. Ferro can ride a bike. Even in just one look Ayla knew that the bike that Ferro owned was not a cheap bicycle.

"You're on a bike? Tumbens."

"Ferro took me for a bike ride last week" Ayla looked at him unconvinced, "You sure he still wants to take you?"

Max shakes his shoulders, "Come. But there's no harm in trying, is there?"

"So.. Where's your bike?" Max asked. Ayla just grinned the horse. Max again asked, "Don't you have a bike?"

"damaged."

"Alright, please get on my bike, please" Max bargained. Ayla stared at Max's expensive bicycle with a questioning gaze. There's no seat on Max's bike. So where does Ayla have to ride?

Max who understood Ayla's thoughts immediately said, "Stand behind, Ayla. Don't you see there's a little iron downstairs to be climbed by your feet."

"What?! You serious?! But I'm a girl, Max!" Max put on an exaggerated look of surprise. His eyes were wide and his mouth was open. "You're a girl?!"

Ayla looked at him flatly, "I'll just walk." Then he walked first leaving Max. "Oh, okay."

Ayla turned back and rode Max's bike on the back. He stood up and held Max's shoulder. "Don't speed, okay?"

Ayla of course could not see Max's ignorant grin from behind. Without warning Max immediately pedaled his bike with the maximum speed he could. Ayla clutched Max's shoulder hard while strangling in fear. "MAX! YOU WANT TO KILL ME?!"

"Let's be late, Ayla. We need to get to Ferro's house first"

"NO NEED TO SPEED!"

Max completely ignored Ayla's screams that were clearly inviting gazes from the people they passed by. Not knowing himself Max said, "Ready down the bridge, Ayla?"

"MAX, NO! NOT MAX, NO!"

"YUHUUUUUUUUUUU!" Max exclaimed as his bicycle walked down the bridge. He stopped his paddling and spread his hands as wide as possible. He looked up at the sky while closing his eyes. Enjoying the wind blowing her hair. Ayla spontaneously hugged Max's shoulder. His mouth was muttering with spells. Pray that he and Max survive this desperate act.

"Revelation! Max, CAREFUL!" yell Ayla loudly. Max opened his eyes and saw a human figure who was also wearing a bicycle coming out of the alley. He tried to take control of his bike. But late. Disaster comes before he can do something to save her and Ayla.

Bruk!

Ayla, Max and Ferro are 17 minutes late from the time set by the school. The students who are late will be punished standing on the field while respectfully to the flagpole for 1 hour. After that, they were told to clean the school. Whether it's a bathroom, a warehouse, an ise room, a teacher's room, and so on.

Whether it is a blessing or a calamity, the delay of Ayla, Max, and Ferro did not get the hukukukan. They are only lectured by their security guards and English teachers who have strict discipline. After that, they were sent to the UKS.

Eliminating punishment for students who are late cannot be given away. Including the current cases of Ayla, Max, and Ferro. They arrived with wounds. Max's pretentious tragedy leads him and Ayla to crash into someone who just came out of an alley. And damn again that someone is Farro Butler. Have not finished their problem regarding the throws, they have to get a new problem. And fuck with Ferro again.

Not a word had been said from Ferro's lips. He just laid his body on a UKS mattress. Next to her hand she used it to cover her eyes. While Max occasionally asks Ayla's situation. Despite being treated and given a drink, Ayla's face remained as pale as when the accident occurred. Max gets so worried by the fact that he almost faints people's children.

Ayla stared at Ferro at the glance that she felt the man was starting to fall asleep. Seen from his regular breathing. So Ayla decided to lie down and come to dreamland. While Max was busy fanning Ayla's wound on the knee.

After sleeping almost 3 hours. Ayla, Max and Ferro return to class. Their friends instantly swarmed like ants meeting sugar.

"What's going on?"

"Why is this so?"

"Are you all right?"

"Ayla, how could you have been in an accident with them?" Asked Noah who invited another curiosity. Ayla tried to calm her friends who were asking the same question. "The story is long,"

"The thing is, it's all her fault!" Show Ayla to Max. Max scratched the back of his head that was not itchy. "Yes.. It was my fault. But I'm sorry, Ayla."

Ayla hissed as she stared at Max cynically, "Would your apology make my knee wound disappear?"

Jessica nodded. Agreeing Ayla's words were clearly a victim. Then came the straws that invaded Max.

"Don't speed!"

"Bring people's children carefully, dong."

"True, later if Ayla's parents hold you accountable, how?" sahut Noah ambiguous.

"Ayla warned you to slow down"

"Otherwise the victim for the second time is Ferro." Max and Ayla grimaced. Max offended himself for what happened to the three of them this morning. Ayla blames herself for agreeing with Max to ride on her bike. If Ayla had walked for a while and boarded the bus, she would not have gotten any grievous injuries on her knees and elbows. He won't get into second trouble with Ferro. The first one is not yet out.

"Ayla, you still look very pale" Evelyn said. "You okay?"

Ayla nodded, "I'm just a little... The trauma."

"You'd better eat your provisions to replenish the energy. Instead of you passing out later," Brianna said, giving advice. Ayla nodded once again. Brianna was right, no matter what the fate of his elbows, knees, and friendship that was not really close to Ferro, he still had to eat. His stomach needs nutrients. Until Ayla decides to take her lunch box that is not in Ayla's school bag.

"But me!"

"Why?" Ask Violet.

"My box doesn't exist. My lunchbox is gone!" Violet screeched in wonder. "You sure Max didn't steal it?"

Max put on a sour look. "I know it's caused your gorilla friend an accident. But I didn't steal."

Violet smiled shyly as she had already accused Max of a no-no. He immediately flashed his smile when he saw Ayla's horse-drying face.

"Why?" Violet asked in surprise. A little while ago Ayla looked very panicked when she lost her favorite box. Now the little guy was even smiling indistinctly. "I forgot that I woke up late this morning. So I'm not making provisions for today."

Other friends who also listened to him immediately threw whatever was near them to Ayla. Ayla just laughed, "I'm sorry.. Sorry.."

"Then we go to the cafeteria. I'll keep you company," Violet bargained. Ayla nodded. He took his wallet in his bag and immediately headed to the cafeteria.

"You didn't take me?" Ask Max plain. Ayla stopped her steps and turned her body to face Max who put on a cute look that failed miserably. Instead of answering, Ayla stuck her tongue out at Max. After that, he went after Violet who had left first.

"I want to go to the cafeteria to replenish the energy we lost from the fall. You wanna come?" Max invited Ferro. Max is close to Ferro. They have known each other since Junior High. Despite knowing more and making friends for more than 3 years, Max is afraid if he has to face the flat-faced and sour Ferro. Like at the moment. Ferro's face did not express anything so no one could guess what Ferro Butler was thinking.

Ferro moved out of his chair without saying anything. But Max knew that Ferro accepted his invitation. He looked at the man from behind with a smile of his own. It seemed that Ferro could not really get angry at him. They have been good friends for a long time. I don't know about Ayla Baker. Although Max knew that they had known him since Elementary School, they showed no familiarity at all as old friends. Just like a stranger.

Max, Ferro, and Ayla are from the same Junior High School. Max often sees Ayla passing by at their school with her bright smile. Not infrequently he praised Ayla blatantly in front of his friends, including Ferro. He tries hard to find out Ayla's name through the connections he has. Without knowing that his close friend, Ferro, knows Ayla.

When united with Ayla in the same class when they entered high school, Max was happy not to play. Many times he raved at Ferro about his very happy mood with the luck he had. But Ferro who is not interested and always feels saturated with his story just ignores Max. While Max is resistant to babbling for hours just to talk about Ayla.

Max was once angry with Ferro. On their first day of school, she sees Ayla coming to their desk with her hair left to unravel. Max with his peda thinks that Ayla wants to get acquainted with him. Based on his experience which is quite much liked by women makes him dare to think like that.

He let out a sweet smile when Ayla arrived at their table. Ayla who also returned Max's smile successfully made the man soar into the sky. Before he realized that the pull on both corners of his lips was only a form of politeness. Ayla instead spoke to Ferro - who to Max was not as handsome as she was - as if they had known each other before.

"Well.. We meet again in the same class, Ferro." Ferro smiled at Ayla's unusual greeting. "Are you disappointed to see my face in the same class as you?"

"Yeah, a little." Ayla confessed while chuckling small. Ferro replies to Ayla's disrespectful confession with a trinket of understanding. Sometimes Ayla is a little weird. But not infrequently the strangeness of success makes people feel like laughing and anxiety at the same time.

"I just want to be good friends with you, Ferro. Remembering our relationship a little bit is not good" said Ayla by emphasizing the word relationship. Expect Ferro to remember the events of the lost book while they were in their 3rd year of Elementary School.

But it seems Ferro is insensitive to the code Ayla gave him. Or indeed Ferro did not remember the incident until he only agreed and agreed with Ayla's request. Although the results were not as good as expected. They remain like strangers who only communicate when Ayla opens her box.

After Ayla got the right place and occupied it, Max asked Ferro angrily, "You know Ayla Beker? How can?!"

"I was in class with him in SD" Ferro replied casually. Max again asked in annoyance, "And you didn't tell me?!"

Ferro looked at Max as if his interlocutor was a madman. "Why should I tell you that?"

Ferro's question obviously upset Max. "You know that I found out his name when Junior High first. You know how big my fight is, don't you?"

"I know," said Ferro casually while playing his Handphone. "Then why didn't you tell me his name from the beginning?!"

"You never asked me, Max," Ferro replied as he put down his phone. He chose to look at Max who was upset rather than playing his instagram. "Therefore I do not tell you, dear Max Ha-Mil-Ton."
