...The picture is too simple, so I can see the hidden meaning of what you have shared there....


...***...


Raga had no intention of going to Clara's class today. But because Bagas, a classmate with Clara, was borrowing his notes and had not yet been repatriated, he was forced to go to that class.


Raga stood in front of the classroom door. Raga could see Clara and her friends sitting on the back bench. They were talking to each other.


'Deg's'


One of Clara's friends saw her and nudged Clara's shoulder to look at her. Raga swallowed her saliva as their sight met.


'Ah, fuck.' Inner Raga.


"Nih, thanks. I forgot his yesterday hehe..," said Bagas who had stood before Raga thrusting the note.


Raga was grateful Bagas approached her so that she did not linger to see Clara.


"Yo, I'm back in class." Say Raga relaxing.


Raga glanced at Clara who was laughing at her friend. Raga faintly saw the hue on Clara's cheeks, making her subconsciously raise the corner of her lips.


"Ga..," call Bagas pat Raga on the shoulder.


Bagas is leaning his hand on Raga's right shoulder while looking at Raga's view of Clara and her friends.


"Cie, you have a crush on Clara ye..," teased Bagas.


Raga brushed off Bagas' hand on her shoulder.


"Ck, what? Sok knows you mah..," Reply Raga as flat as possible.


Bagas laughed at the shy behavior of his friend. She kept teasing Raga while poking Raga's cheeks.


Raga let out a long sigh because she was seduced by Bagas like that. Bagas eleven twelve with Bayu, who he thinks likes to interfere.


"Well, I'll take it back to class first." Raga said turning her body away from that place.


At each step, Raga could still hear Bagas's teasing screams shouting that he liked Clara. Raga rubbed her back hair looking at her shameless friend's behavior.


'Ah, the more misunderstood Clara is as I am.' Inner Raga.

Canteen.


Raga sits on her bench with Bayu and Abdi. They happen to be classmates. While Ridho and Bagas different classes. Raga ate her fried rice casually while watching people play basketball.


Not long after, Ridho joined their table with fried rice and a bottle of mineral water.


"Lo didn't join Dion and the other kids" Ridho told Raga.


Bayu turned to the basketball court while eating his meatballs.


"My males. Not sports hours." Answer the Raga.


"What's the thrill of playing basketball? Make it hot and reminiscent..," cried Abdi while sipping his noodles.


"Haha, you're likening Raga to lo's mommy's son." Bayu Ledek.


Abdi looked annoyed because Bayu always pricked him. "Who's the mother's son?"


Abdi was born into an ordinary family but Abdi is quite a concern for his family because he is the youngest child and the only male in his family. All his sisters are female, so Abdi does not even know how to behave as a cool man in general. From childhood her brother always dressed her like a daughter. Somehow, Abdi can hang out with his gang Raga. Raga's gang is notoriously naughty but Abdi is not a bad boy, he's one of the smartest kids in the class, he never ditches, but his friends like to truant. Abdi only follows, if the way is right.


"Oi, don't affect our servant." Said Ridho while chuckling.


Bagas suddenly appeared and embraced Raga's shoulder.


"What?" Raga brushed Bagas' hand away because she remembered the embarrassing incident earlier.


"Cie, who was angry haha..," ledek Bagas.


Raga simply turned her face away unconcerned.


"What gas? What's going on?" Tanya Bayu was curious.


"Eh, you know not that. Si Raga actually has a crush on Clara cuy..," cried Bagas with a loud voice that made the students in the cafeteria turn to him.


Raga wanted to pin the head of her friend who was shameless but she tried to be patient, so as not to be easily provoked. Raga knows for himself what kind of person Bagas, the more in ladenin the more spirit.


"Serious Ga, Lo has a crush?" Ask Ridho.


"No, ngawur the Bagas mah. Don't worry about the child." Sahut Raga's.


"Opaan, I saw for myself. Lo and Clara looked at each other at the taik..," Bagas replied.


"Well, what's the taik in view of the dodol." Said Abdi who was too innocent.


Raga, Bayu, Ridho laughed in satisfaction, while Bagas hit his own head hearing Abdi's late innocent reply.


"Pfft, really. Maybe Clara and I looked at the taik. The Bagas dodol was very old..," Raga's laughter was satisfied.


"Ah, shit, Lo's in. Lo plain or bego anyway. Time can not be different from the right with the not..," Kesel Bagas.


"What is the difference between gas?" Ask Abdi to be curious.


Raga, Bayu, and Ridho laughed loosely while Bagas was getting annoyed. Abdi was confused and continued eating.


"If you want to talk rudely, not in front of Abdi. Lo knows for himself the crazy emotions for him haha..," said Ridho gave advice while patting Bagas shoulder to be patient.


"Patience, this is a Gas test..," Bayu chuckled.


Raga smiled with satisfaction while giving two thumbs up to Abdi because he managed to complete his revenge on Bagas.


Raga turned his head back towards the field but suddenly his eyes accidentally met a girl who was sitting on the audience bench with her friends. She's Clara. Again it just so happened that they were both equally embarrassed and reflexively turned their faces the other way.


'Ah, Why also my eyes should be in that direction.' Inner Raga.
