ALVIN Trying to Rise

Final exam

...Happy Reading's...

.......................

It's not like Alvin's last year of junior high school. Today is the last day of the graduation exam.

Alvin came out of the classroom first, when he was convinced by the answers to all the questions on the exam.

He waited for Imran in the front garden of the school, considering they always went and went home from school together.

Alvin circulated his gaze, looking around him that not many people had yet. There were only a few students who might be the same as him.

"You're so great, Vin, always out in first place."

Alvin was surprised to hear the voice of someone he knew so well, he immediately turned his head to the side, where the woman was sitting.

"Milka?" alvin said, with a fine frown on his forehead.

Milka smiled, she looked at Alvin with a shady look.

"Where do you want to go to school?" ask Milka..

Alvin was silent, he was looking for a scholarship that could ease his tuition fees later.

However, he himself did not know yet, which scholarship would accept him.

"I don't know, I haven't thought of going there yet" Alvin said, a bit of a lie.

Milka nodded her head in response to Alvin's reply.

"If, you?" ask Alvin.

"Me?"point Milka at himself. He was a little surprised when Alvin returned his weight to him, because usually Alvin would just answer, without wanting to start a conversation with him.

What dream was I last night, can I ask back to Alvin? inner Milka joy.

During these three years, Milka kept trying to get close to Alvin. Alvin was never interested in him.

Alvin nodded faintly.

"I don't know either. I don't want to go to college yet" replied Milka.

"I think you already know where to go, so I can follow you," continued Milka again, in a soft tone at the end of his sentence.

"What? I'm sorry I didn't listen to you that much" asked Alvin.

"Huh? Eu–okok, I didn't say anything," buzzed Milka flutter herself.

Oh my goodness, what a shame! fortunately he was not horrified, inner Milka.

"Ooh." Alvin nodded faintly, while circulating his pandanngan.

They were both silent with awkward body gestures. Milka was already confused to start another conversation with Alvin.

While Alvin who is not used to talking a lot, making him can only be silent, without having a way to start talking with the woman beside him.

Alvin occasionally looked at the door of his class, waiting for Imran who did not come.

"Vin, there's actually something I want to talk to you about" Milka said in a hesitant tone.

Alvin looked back at Milka. "What's up, Mil?"

Alvin could see clearly, Milka's nervous face, even the two girls' hands were seen squeezing each other.

What the hell is it? Why does he look so nervous? inner Alvin.

Milka who was stared intensely by Alvin increasingly nervous, until it felt his mouth was increasingly unable to move.

Oh, my God, why is he squirming at me like that? I'm getting more nervous. Milka ketar-ketir facing the man beside her.

"What's up, Mil?" Alvin asked again, when he saw Milka who had not spoken anything since.

Alvin widened his eyes, upon hearing a confession from the girl beside him.

Oh God, why do you have to say it now? inner Alvin.

Actually Alvin already knew that Milka had been to him since the beginning they met, maybe even one school knew that.

However, because the name of Dandi and his friends who always say that Milka is his girlfriend Dandi, makes everyone seem to close their eyes to all that.

Likewise with Alvin, he chose to be cold and away from Milka, in order to maintain his scholarship at school.

Yes, Dandi once threatened Alvin, would revoke all Alvin scholarships, if he dared to approach Milka.

Alvin swallowed his saliva with great difficulty, his lips as if stiff to give an answer.

Milka's heart grew faster, as her ears did not hear a word from Alvin.

"Sorry, Mil. You know what my life is all about, we're not two equal people for a relationship."

Mila slowly opened her eyes, she was ready with whatever answer from Alvin. He thinks it's better to express now, than to keep harboring feelings.

"Right now, for me, a relationship isn't number one. Because life is not just about love. There are still a lot of goals for me to achieve my goals, and I don't want them all to be delayed just because of one word that has a lot of meaning."

Alvin said softly, there was guilt in his heart as he rejected Milka's expression of love. He was also afraid that someone would hear his words, and made Milka feel ashamed.

Alvin did not want to give a hope even if it was just a little, he wanted Milka to be able to forget the love for him, in order to continue his life and education without pain in the heart.

Milka took a deep breath and exhaled, she smiled awkwardly trying to look cheerful, although the disappointment in the heart, she could not deny.

"Yes, it's okay, I understand" Milka said, after trying to control herself.

"T–but, we can still be friends, right?" ask Milka again.

Alvin smiled faintly. "Yes, I think it sounds even better."

Milka smiled as she nodded faintly, trying to look happy and ordinary in front of the man who had just rejected her love.

"The chin!"

A call from Imran, awakening two teenagers who are in extraordinary awkwardness.

The arrival of Imran, as if a fresh breeze for Milka and Alvin.

Alvin immediately waved his hand at Imran, as a sign that his friend was approaching him.

"K–then I go first" said Milka, trying to avoid Imran.

Alvin nodded with a faint smile, making Milka's heart ache.

Geez, why is she so sweet when she's smiling like that? Make me unable to turn. Inner Milka.

"Fuck!" Milka waved one of her hands, while walking away from Alvin.

Alvi just raised her hand to the chest, as a sign of reply to Milka.

"Well, how'd Milka go?" ask Imran who just joined Alvin.

"Don't know, want to join friends the other time," replied Alvin.

"Well, I don't know. Didn't she come here just like you?" asked Imran in astonishment.

"No, we just happen to be out of the class with a close distance" elak Alvin, did not want to do Milka

"Really?" god Imran, to his best friend. How could I not see Milka's face, she was so sad again.
