A Box of Supplies for You

Chapter 8's

Ayla sat in Ms.'s room. Brown, holding his hands to each other. His head lowered in as a form of regret as well as avoiding the cynical gaze that made him enough to feel goosebumps. Who else if it wasn't Ferro Butler who gave that scary look to him. Although Mrs. Brown displayed glaring eyes behind his glasses.

When Ayla and Violet arrived in front of the class, she saw Ferro leaning on the door with a bored and annoyed look. Without saying anything the man immediately left which Ayla guessed headed for Mrs' room. Brownian. Ayla and Violet followed him while holding hands. Sometimes he squeezes Violet's hand as a sign that she is very nervous. Not long ago solved the problem, Ayla has done it again.

Along the way, Violet did not stop looking at Ayla with a gaze of 'feel! I've warned you.' Ayla could only grimace.

And Ayla ends up here. In Mrs' room. Brown is cold and windy. Sitting next to Ferro who continued to stare at him while folding both his hands to the front of his chest. Although Mrs. Brown who was sitting in front of him continued glaring at him before exhaling. Ayla needs Violet now. But his best friend was outside the room waiting for him. He needs someone's hand to squeeze because he's so nervous right now. Ferro's big hand was so tempting that he grabbed it and gripped it firmly. But he did not want to be hit by the man so he decided to squeeze his own hand.

"Where have you been, Aira?"

'Ayla, Ma'am' Ayla said in her heart. Obviously he did not want to say that now because of the unsupportive atmosphere. He could be kicked out of school after saying that. Although Ayla's mouth is very itchy because she wants to correct her name which is always incorrectly mentioned by her math teacher.

"I'm from the school roof." Ayla's great-grandson.

"Try truant, huh?" hissing Mrs. Brownian. Ayla shook her head strongly. Clearly he was expelled from the classroom by the person currently sitting before him for not making the assignment. More precisely not to drive. Ayla swears she did her job, despite the results of cheating on Max that she did in the last seconds before the bell rang.

He does not expect to be lazy and forgets time. Where he should have been there for two hours became almost twice as much. He forgot to call Mrs. Brown went into his room to give additional duties as punishment. Even he forgot that the idol who was sitting next to him was appointed directly by Mrs. Brown as his tutor.

"If you don't ditch, why don't you come to my room after my watch's up? I heard from your friends that you didn't enter the lesson after!"

Ayla scratched her non-itchy head. He turned his brain to look for answers that could help him, "That's.. I'm asleep." Good reason Ayla.

"I don't care if you're really asleep or if it's just your wits, Aira!"

'I'm Ayla. Ayla Butler's. A-Y-L-A' Ayla shouted in her heart.

"I've seen your guts since I first got into your class. You're so stupid and unruly. But don't bring your friends to ditch. If you really want to, skip it yourself! Don't die carrying people!"

Ayla was silent at Mrs's words. Brown is a bit rude, he thinks. The middle-aged woman's words actually pierced her chest until she tried desperately to hold back her tears that wanted to spill.

It was not at all meant to be truant. In fact he did not want to go out in hours of math lessons even though he did not like it. It's just that Violet really needs him. Is the mistake he just made once unforgivable? There are many students out there who make more mistakes than him.

Even more so when he says that Ayla is stupid and unruly. As for the fool, Ayla could not dodge anymore. I don't want him to have to admit that. But being a person whose brain abilities are below average is not what he wants. Ayla also wants to have a brilliant brain like Ferro or Amanda. Ayla also wants to stand in the field at the end of each semester when the rapping arrives. He also wants to feel like a champion that he has never felt.

And so far Ayla is a student who almost never breaks the rules. She always wears a skirt under her knees. He did not wear thick makeup that invited the nagging of the teachers. He tried to get to school on time. He always does his job even though most of it is done in school and the results of cheating.

Only this time. Only today did Ayla decide not to take her duties with her in order to accompany Violet. Just today Ayla was told to drop out of class at math class time. All this time Mrs. Brown just told her to stand in front of the class. Sometimes with the raised leg and the hand holding the ear. Only today he ditched. Previously Ayla only went out for a while to the toilet if bored with certain lessons.  Can't he be forgiven for his mistake today?

And what Ayla doesn't like the most is that someone carries around her brain's ability to blame her. Like the Mrs. Brown is doing it right now, he's busy comparing Ayla with his smart friends. Ayla's mistake today was just ditching and forgetting to Mrs' room. Brownian. Do not discuss his abilities in the academic field.

Ayla tried to heed her ears while staring at the ceiling while counting the lizards. After he finished, he turned his gaze on the window and counted the number of leaves that appeared from the window. After a few minutes Mrs. Brown babbling. He gave some sheets of paper containing questions that he did not know how to do. He only accepted with a blank look while pretentiously looking at a problem that he clearly did not understand.

"You'll be studying with Ferro for 2 months. And all those tasks must be delivered gradually every week," explained Mrs. Brownian. Ayla nodded in understanding. He could not deny that in his deepest self, he felt happy and flowery. Although he was very upset and sad with all the talk Mrs. Brownian.

Oh, my God, is it that easy for Ferro to change your mood, Ayla?

Inside his head there are already sweet scenes like in romantic dramas that he often watched. More frequent encounters with Ferro would result in feelings growing in the man's heart. Ayla really hoped that was what happened. Before he heard Ferro sighing heavily.

Seeing Ferro's reaction now strongly suggests that the man was very unenthusiastic and interested. He even showed such an unusually bored face that Ayla had no choice but to frown.

Getting Ferro's heart isn't as easy as it is in dramas. The small fights that would cause feelings of liking were not something that Ferro would experience. The man was increasingly disliked by her.

Ayla just needs to be a smart and beautiful woman. Like Amanda Bailey. Unfortunately Ayla will never be like that talented woman. He is still Ayla who is simple and boring.

"What feeling?" ayla asked back lazily.

"Ferro be your tutor."

"It's normal" Ayla replied full of lies. Violet only chuckled while shaking her head.

They are currently in Ayla's room. After school Violet decides to return briefly to her house to take some interest before heading to Ayla's house. The state of the family that was quite destroyed made him not want to be at home and choose to stay at Ayla's house. Ayla happily allowed her best friend to stay the night. He knew that Violet needed time to think and calm down.

"You can make Ferro fall in love with you as long as you study together" Violet said.

"As in dramas," they said simultaneously. Violet laughed at their compactness. While Ayla threw her body on the mattress while sighing deeply before taking it out violently.

"Ferro is not a man like in the drama. You know that, dear Violet," said Ayla. Violet asked lightly, "So you gave up?"

Ayla shakes. "I don't want to give up actually. But I have no other choice. Only a perfect woman like Amanda can melt a heart as hard as a rock as Ferro."

Violet nodded in agreement, "Amanda is truly amazing. If I were a man, I'd choose him as my partner."

Ayla looked at Violet in annoyance, "Aren't you supposed to say like, 'don't give up, Ayla!' to encourage me. Reassure me that I can too."

Violet shook her head, "I want to, but can't. Your opponent is Amanda Bailey."

Ayla whined while submerging her face into the pillow. Violet really couldn't have expected such a matter. His best friend always made a painful statement that was unfortunately very true. He chose to stick a knife into Ayla's heart first rather than watching Ferro himself do it. He'd rather hurt Ayla before Ferro did. What an amazing friend.

"Amanda was never my rival, Violet. He won from the beginning. I was rejected from the beginning."

"That's what you know."

Fucking buddy!

Violet also laid her body beside Ayla and looked up at the roof of the room. He sighed softly before saying, "I will lose my father."

Ayla was silent for a moment before replying, "He's still your father. He's still your father, anyway."

Violet smiled smirkily. Tears began to pour out from the corner of her eyes, "I don't want to have a father who hurt my mother" she whispered.

Ayla chose to be quiet. Don't know what to say. But Ayla made sure that she would hate her father too if she was in the same position as Violet. It's hard to accept the fact that the man you love the most has another woman besides your mother.

"I don't know what makes you last so many years."

"In cases like this, usually a mother is willing to hurt her own heart for the sake of her children" Ayla replied. Ayla had heard such statements many times from various media. And Ayla still did not expect that who would experience the position was the mother of her own best friend.

"Mom didn't have to do that for me. What he did hurt my heart. I get hurt if mom gets hurt, too" sobed Violet. Violet's words again successfully made Ayla also drop clear liquid from her eyes.

"I want to let go of Dad. But it's very heavy." Ayla understands, Violet. He is still a father, however.

Ayla patted Violet's shoulder twice to calm her down. "I'm sure you can get through this, Violet."

"I'm sure this storm will pass."
