2.3 [May] Is a Date?

This morning was a little quieter, because I went to college alone. Rhea today has no classes and Lyra only has morning classes. It seems like I should really make good use of my time and enjoy it. When will I be able to calm down without my two best friends. I will be with them again all day.

"Loh tumben alone?"

Suddenly Zayn sat in the chair in front of me. Hah, why did I even meet him anyway. Though it's good I'm free from Lyra and Rhea, even now stuck with this obscure guy.

"They have their own business and I'll also have a training schedule with you and the other band." I don't want to ask Zayn's question either.

"Means later abis finished training can dong lo the same way I. Which was not yet done." Zayn asked me to go with him.

"And I told you from yesterday, I can't because I promised to stay at Lyra's house." I tried to subtly refuse Zayn's invitation, because to be honest I was very awkward when I had to go alone with him. Right now I feel uncomfortable sitting alone with Zayn like this.

After that, only silence enveloped the two of us. Until my cell phone rang broke the silence. Turns out Rhea called, looks like she's looking for me.

"I'm at Rhea's college, there's band practice. Sorry I forgot to miss because the info was sudden." I explained the reason I wasn't home, trying to quell Rhea's annoyance because I forgot to tell her.

"Yes Kara, please tell Rhea. I'll be at Lyra's house later, saying she doesn't have to worry." I told Kara before the call ended, so that Rhea would no longer be upset with me.

"May, I don't think we're a band rehearsal. This says the kids have extra work to do and have to finish this afternoon." Zayn who was in charge of the band told me that the rehearsal was canceled.

Hah, know like that better I don't have to wait here. It would be more useful if I waited in the library while doing my review task.

"Yaudah, I'm going to the perpus. Want to do the task. I'm here anyway." I tidied up some of my stuff and rushed out of the FIB cafeteria to the library building and didn't care about Zayn following me.

"May, instead of going to the library mending lo come with me. Hanging out while hanging out at the cafe." Zayn was still trying to persuade me to take a walk with him.

But I am still me, if once said no then so on as much as possible will refuse. Unfortunately Zayn is also one of the unyielding, he still follows behind me even when I look for a book to review.

"If you don't tell me, let me take it." Zayn, who had been following me since, helped pick up the book that was on the top shelf. But it turns out that the book was instead made into an exchange material so that I would agree to his invitation.

"Lo needs this book, right? I'll give you, as long as your job is done, we go." Zayn offered me a deal.

"No, let's get the book. I'm gonna go straight to Lyra's house."

"If you don't want to yaudah, I'll go back." Zayn was already preparing to put the book he was holding back into place until I held Zayn's hand.

"Here's the book and let me finish the assignment. After that I'll walk with you." In the end I lost, inevitably I agreed to the unfair request because it really needed the book.

Without me asking twice, Zayn immediately gave the book to me and he immediately sat quietly in the corner letting me focus on doing the review.

But it turns out Zayn's silence lasted no more than 20 minutes, because after that he came back to bother me.

"Can't you be diem. If you bother me like this, my job might not be done." I tried to reprimand Zayn not to bother me. But it seems useless because he still bothers.

"Over time, I'm already bored." Zayn protested against me for not finishing.

"Close the book, keep coming with me" he continued, closing the book I was reading and pulling me away.

Not wanting to make a scene, I finally just resigned when Zayn pulled me out of the library, leaving all my stuff still scattered on the reading table.

"Stay, Zayn. I finish my stuff first." I forcibly took off my hand in Zayn's grasp and returned to the reading room to clear up my belongings.

"So really May we're just here? Though I want to ngajakin lo to the night market, mumpung there is a night market around the campus." Zayn went back to making sure that I didn't pick the wrong place.

"Truly, I want ice cream again and here is my subscription with Rhea. Next time go to the night market."

"Judah, I hold your talk. Next time you can't refuse if I take the road again."

I just smiled faintly in response to Zayn's remark. Because I'm not sure if I still want to go alone like this with Zayn.

We enjoyed our time together comfortably. It turns out Zayn has a lot of interesting things and makes me feel comfortable. Unconsciously spent a long time with Zayn.

"Udah afternoon, I go home first yes"

"No, I'm going home alone." I rejected Zayn's offer, because to be honest I still feel alien to his being around me.

"Lo doesn't need to run Mei, let her come home with me."

Suddenly Kara was sitting on the empty seat next to Zayn and made a look of Zayn who was happy to be grim.

"And I told you to go there by myself, Rhea doesn't listen to me" I muttered a little upset that Rhea wasn't listening to me.

"It's not Rhea, I'm going to pick you up." Kara said as if answering my murmur.

"Well, come home now, Rhea and Lyra are waiting for you."

I immediately followed behind Kara as the guy moved from his seat to his car in the FIB parking area.

Just like when I was with Zayn, I just kept quiet and had no intention of starting a conversation with Kara. I still feel strange about his attitude.

"Why Mei, still shocked because I picked you up. Or do you regret coming home with me?"

I just shook my head slowly and did not intend to extend the chat with. Because actually I still feel weird about today.

At Lyra's house, I was greeted by Rhea who was curious why I was picked up by Kara. She also felt astonished that Kara would pick me up without being asked. Because usually every time I pick up Kara is with Rhea.

"How can you be with Aga, Mei? I think Aga said to meet community children." Rhea explained the reason for her astonishment.

"No idea, Kara had suddenly sat in the faculty parking area and immediately made sure to go home together."

"It's not clear to anyone." Lyra responded to my explanation with ridicule aimed at Kara.

"By the way about Zayn, you were walking with him?" continued Lyra who seemed curious about my closeness and Zayn.

"Two streets, Mei? What's the same rame-rame as the other band's kid?" Rhea asked about it. Though I have deliberately not told this to them, but instead they are asking out of curiosity.

"Berdua doang earlier, because the other children were busy and the training was also canceled. Hence Zayn ngajakin street. I refused, but maksa continued. I finally convinced him to go to our ice cream shop." I ended up explaining my activities with Zayn earlier to Rhea and Lyra who were already very curious.

And you know what their reaction is, yes they even smile indistinctly while continuing to tease me.

"Duh, May is big. I'm just the same candidate." That's Lyra speaking.

"Yes, he said that music training was just as bad as Zayn." Rhea chimed in Lyra's joke that teased me.

Seeing the reaction of Lyra and Rhea like this, I felt grateful that Kara picked me up earlier, even though I don't know what her purpose was. Because then Zayn didn't have to meet them and hear all the ridiculous jokes that came out of Lyra and Rhea's mouth just to tease me.

"But now he's even talking to her. I don't think Zayn is?" Rhea who realized I was a little daydreaming, came back to tease me.

Lyra just smiled amusedly at Rhea who constantly teased me. As for me, just keep quiet and let Rhea satisfied tease me, because if I protest then Rhea will not stop teasing me. Because according to him, my frustration is just a separate entertainment for him. It's a little weird my best friend that one.
