Aretta & Secrets

Shit Day

It turned out that he was so stupid that he could not choose which was sincere and which was not. I'm still in my place until the bell rings. Just then Jess suddenly suffocated indistinctly.

"Ah... Guys you can go back to class to tell Miss Nisa that I took the stuff in the locker first, right?"

I didn't hear what Meree

Aat spoke again, only the sound of footsteps getting further away I heard. Immediately I lowered my foot and opened the door carefully. I peeked out and saw Jess styling her hair in front of the mirror. He turned his lips a few times and blinked an eye that made me shake my head not understanding what he just did.

I immediately came out of the bathroom and the woman looked surprised to find me there.

Before he does anything I go ahead.

"The Lord is not in love with you." He was stunned to hear my sentence and the next second his face turned sour, "Whatever the hell you are. If you do not know what happened to me and Mr. God, mending you just silent," he jolted, "someone will believe the same thing you said. Lo it's just a girl who wants God sir to have you, right? Self-conscious." Jess took a step forward and cornered me to the wall. If it wasn't for the sacred word 'gembeot' I would have replied to him, but knowing the fact that he knew that sacred call, suddenly made me speechless. The memories of me being the subject of gossip and bullying were instantly blinded in my head. I don't want to be bullied anymore.

"My advice is to withdraw from this school. No one expected you to be here Aretta gembrot." He said that while pushing my shoulder back to make me lose my balance and automatically my body jerked against the wall very hard.

With me having a broken rib, it made the pain worse even though it wasn't as severe as before, but the pain made me fall to the floor, to make my breath sting. I tried to stabilize my breathing and all I heard was the sound of footsteps moving away from me leaving me here all alone.

I pulled my body up and leaned against the wall, and waited for the pain to subside. It took me a while, but I'm grateful that it happened while I was here.

As my pain slowly subsided, I forced myself to get up and walk out. It's only been half the day I've been through Monday, but I've been crying, threatened, and pushed by Jess.

I intentionally extended myself outside the room. Now it was time to go to lunchtime, only I didn't want to go to the cafeteria by myself because the gazes of the other children on me were so sharp and so cornered me. I'd rather wait for a message from Rafa and if he doesn't call me, I'll postpone my lunch.

My phone shook and I found a message from Rafa. He asked me where I was. I replied to her message if I was in the back garden and headed straight to where we had previously agreed. I asked him to take it in a normal place and it was certain that until later I would meet with Rendi and Aidan. I haven't told you about me eating with my new friends here.

"Aretta!" She screamed and hugged me tightly, making it difficult for me to breathe. But I enjoyed this moment. The sensation of Rendi and Aidan's embrace felt very different. When Rendi hugged me it wasn't awkward.

For a few seconds in his arms, I could neither speak nor answer. The main factor was because my ribs were painful because her embrace was too tight. I just held her arm and it seemed that she was quite sensitive, because after that Rendi immediately took off her embrace.

I nodded weakly before replying to Rendi's greeting, "Hi... It's okay. I'm not pa-pa."

He looked me in the eye as if he was looking for a lie from there.

"Where the hell is it. I guess you're still stuck with Jess. I'm concerned. All day long I also have my diamin. I saw you in Biology class but you went with the others instead. Who is that guy?" screeching. If I hadn't met him, Aidan would have gotten this series of stories too.

"My new friend. His name is Rafa, he works at Daia cafe and I also just found out that he's a student of this school."

As we were still engrossed in talking, the garden door opened and Rafa appeared with a look of relief.

"Aretta's. Where the hell are you from? I got the same question from Rafa.

"From the toilet," I replied, but I didn't tell you what was going on in there either. A moment of silence when Rafa has arrived and what happens next is a scene of mutual sight between Rendi and Rafa. Both of them look awkward.

I chuckled at the two who were not acting as usual and then all I did was ask them to introduce themselves to each other. The two met and began to tell stories. I smiled, it seemed like there would be an interesting story waiting for them.

I turned to where we used to sit to eat together. There was Aidan. I decided to walk over and take my place beside him carefully. Behind us was a collection of roses that gave off a pleasant aroma that was hard to resist. Even so still I could not get close because the plant had sharp spines and to enjoy it I had to keep a safe distance.

"Hi" I said to him.

"Hum" he answered softly. Then he spoke again, "I know you're not interested in going to college, but after I thought that college would help you in the future" he continued.

"Yes. I know," I replied.

He seemed reluctant to continue and I immediately gave a smile to calm him down so that he could speak as fully as usual. For the time being Aidan is a figure I will hear although maybe not everything he talks about I will do.
