ARAKAS

CHAPTER 24

The four people at the table were both staring at Ravel who was already standing near them with Tristan next to her. The cafeteria grew increasingly boisterous with the cries and whispers of the students.

Karrel looked at Ravel flat then turned to look at Tristan. He still remembers that man. Tristan's face carrying Ara last night was still clear in her memory. He then glanced at Ara for a moment and looked back at Ravel.

"Do you remember me?" karrel said with a slanted smile.

Ravel grunts. His view turned to Ara. The girl purposely threw away the face unwilling to look at him and deliberately played Karrel's fingers. Ravel herself felt astonished at how her sister was able to get along with the group of men. He wanted to talk to the girl but she was arrested. Too many people are seeing them right now. He doesn't want to take any chances.

"Rav, the others are waiting for you." that's Tristan's voice. He had no idea how Ravel and Karrel knew each other. He also wondered what kind of relationship Ara had with the man beside her. They look very familiar. He remembered last night the man also drove Ara home. He wanted to greet the girl but there was no way he could talk to her in front of so many people. Ara can be the gossip of irresponsible people anymore. Tristan glanced at the girl for a while before they left.

After the departure of those famous people, Devin narrowed his eyes looking at Karrel and Ara alternately. He suspected seeing the two in front of Ravel. Karrel's problem was once a schoolgirl with the guy he and Bintang already knew. But it's not clear with Ara. From his attitude earlier, it seemed that the girl also knew Ravel especially the actor and friend beside her had several glances at the girl.

"Clear." press it to Ara.

"Huh?"

The girl pretended to bego. He knows what Devin means.

Devin brought his face closer to the girl and spoke softly lest the others hear.

"Your relationship is with that famous artist." whispered slowly.

"Former me." replied Ara no less slowly. He lied because it was fun for him.

"Not to ngaco. You asked for it in the pitak again?" avenged Devin was in disbelief, he felt anxious staring at Ara. The girl even felt funny. Karrel turned the lazy eyeball with the behavior of the two people. The stars choose to be spectators.

From that end, Ravel and Tristan turned their attention to Ara. The girl's laughter was so strong that it sparked their attention. Ravel looked at her sister for a while but quickly shifted her eyes, deciding not to care. In contrast to Tristan, the man continued to observe Ara's movements. He saw the girl laughing so loosely in front of the three men sitting with her. He was happy to see it. Although at home Ara continued to be harassed by her brother, at least at school she looks happy.

\*\*\*

The school, which was originally only inhabited by students and teachers, has now turned into a filming location. Many artists, crew and other staff also filled the school's location. And surprisingly, there are many students and teachers who are happy to see the artists directly. Ara became amused herself seeing most female students who were busy putting on their face as beautiful as possible.

She did not expect her brother to have so many fans. Almost all the girls in this school who adore you look cold stone-hearted. He admitted his brother was very handsome. But what good is good looking if his behavior to his own younger brother is zero percent. Ara was still upset whenever she remembered Ravel's attitude towards her which was always cold and sometimes did not hesitate to beat her rudely.

"By!"

Manda's voice resuscitated Ara. The girl approached him.

"Ceritain, how did you get so close to Karrel's group?"

Ara rolled her eyes lazily. This is what he hates most about his friends. Hobby is gossiping. It wasn't enough that they were gossiping about her brother.

Manda kept looking at him dissatisfied. He wanted another answer but his best friend was not very happy. Just look at his attitude when pressed to make a story. Ara quickly buried her face on the table. Manda growls. Come on, mending he gossiped with Laras only.

Ara glanced at her watch. He had been in class for almost an hour, but no teachers had entered. The girl was getting bored. Laras and Manda where else. His eyes looked around the classroom, only to realize that almost half of his classmates were not there. Almost all that was left in that class were male students. Ara frowned confusedly, she then remembered the incident this morning and immediately understood. Surely his friends were fun watching the artists again.

The girl then stood up from her stool and stepped out of the classroom. No, not looking for Laras and Manda. The two of them must have been engrossed in watching her brother shoot. He better find a place to hang out far from his brother's vision, he knew the stone walking did not like to see him so he took the initiative not to show himself in front of the man.

"ARA!"

The girl's steps stopped. He turned his head towards the call and saw three men who were also looking at him. He breathed out with an impassioned expression. His eyes stared at the entire room of that XII classroom. When he saw that the class was quiet, he stepped in. The girl chose to sit next to the Star, facing Karrel and Devin who were sitting in front of her. His gaze was fixed on the few disciples sitting on the other bench. There were only two female students and two other guys he did not know and three men nearby were left in that class. His gaze moved to Karrel and Devin.

"You don't learn either?" ask her while resting her hands on her chin.

"Hm. Teachers are in a meeting." said Devin.

Oh, so so it is. Ara manggut-mangut understand. They both have no teachers.

"Where are you going?" ask Devin again.

"Rooftop." he replied lazily.

"Where are you going?" this time Karrell asked.

Ara screeches.

"Again watching the artist." he said.

"Aren't you watching either?" it was the star's turn to ask. Ara tilted her head facing the man.

"No, thanks!" the pressure is slightly slurred to make the stars astonished. Karrel and Devin laugh at him. Karrel obviously knew the reason the girl would not go along because there was her brother. Their gazes equally glanced at the Star that suddenly stood up.

"I want to buy some water, anybody want a nitip?"

Ara quickly raised her hand high. The stars kept staring at him waiting for the girl to speak.

"I want boba mango flavor!"

The star nodded then glanced at his two friends alternately who were both shaking their heads, a sign they did not want any message. After that he left.
