Chapter 3 ~ A Name~

Smile to change the world, don't let the world change your smile.

- Unknown

Scared, but happy. Nervous, but excited. Yogi doesn't understand what happened to him. His chest was filled with various strange feelings that clashed against each other, each other. But he doesn't hate that. He just enjoyed it.

Five minutes ago, the bell rang and the teacher entered the room. From then on, Yogi's gaze had already locked onto a girl. The charming girl who had knocked on the recesses of her heart. The girl who is his rib. At least that was how Yogi felt, when he saw the girl.

Yogi began to wonder, why hasn't the introductory session started yet? He wanted to know the girl's name. That girl must have a pretty name.

“Stop that! You make a stupid face.” The sound of a man piercing the ear, makes Yogi turn and find Rizki holding his chin.

“Ehehe ...,” Yogi chuckles while scratching the back head. “Sorry, I am very curious about the girl,” he continued with a wry smile.

“If you really like him, you better start getting acquainted with him! Build a relationship from the beginning,” said Rizki, giving advice.

“Ah ..., that ..., I think it will be difficult,” Yogi replied. “I don't have that kind of experience,” he continued.

“Be as usual. When she starts to get comfortable with you, you can change the way you act towards her,” Rizki said as she continued to hold her chin.

Now that Yogi remembers it, Rizki has Kak. Yuutha as lover. The cold beautiful girl was successfully crushed by Rizki. So, Yogi comes to the conclusion that Rizki has various suggestions for him. If Rizki wants to share, maybe she can hook the girl.

“You can give me a suggestion?” Yogi approaches Rizki, giving a wide smile with sparkling eyes.

“Agh ..., too close.” Rizki pushed him back.

“Come on, give me some suggestions!” Yogi was merciful, asking for mercy from the god Amor. “God Amor, arrow me with your love bow!” Not wanting to give up, Yogi tries to hug Rizki.

“Stop! Basic disgusting!” Rizki thrashed, trying to avoid a mental attack.

“You two are in the corner!” when the voice echoed, Rizki and Yogi turned away.

What they saw in their vision was a man in a PNS uniform in front of the classroom. The two hands of the man were shortened in the chest, putting on a flat face, but somehow it felt cold.

Not long after, they realize that they are the center of attention of the class. A few smiling girls look at Yogi and Rizki, who are crimping each other. Some men put on disgusted faces. Some are laughing. The rest were flat-faced, staring at them as if they did not understand what was happening.

Yogi realizes that the girl is watching him. He jumped, away from Rizki. His face was down, staring at the end of the shoe. He wished the girl had forgotten what she had just seen.

On the other hand, Rizki started to tidy up the uniform. Rizki's expression did not change. It still feels cold as usual. Surely it makes Yogi wonder, how can Rizki stay calm like that?

“Alright, it's still the first day. So, I'll forgive you. Instead, you guys start introductions first!” the teacher sat down on the chair, waiting for Yogi and Rizki to start introducing themselves.

Cret! Wood squeaks as Rizki gets up from the chair. It seems that Rizki was completely unperturbed by the incident earlier. Unlike the Yogi who is now trying to calm down.

“My name, Rizki Ananta. I come from 8G class. You can call me Rizki. Greetings know.” Rizki sat back down after introducing herself.

When he sees that, Yogi thinks that Rizki is cool, making him envious of Rizki's ability to keep calm.

“Stop looking at me like that!  It's your turn,” said Rizki, making her realize that the limelight has moved on to her.

“Don't make out in class again! You guys understand?” the teacher gave a warning.

“Good, Sir,” Answer Rizki and Yogi, slowly, simultaneously.

“Wait! We are not like that!” Rizki got up, raised her voice and drew attention back.

“What max ...” Before the sentence was finished, Yogi had just realized the teacher's words and the answer. “True, we are not like that!” The yogi denies while rising from his chair.

“Ahahaha,” the whole class exploded, laughing at two men who exchanged affection.

Rizki clicked her tongue and slammed her body into the chair. The man closed his back and rested his back on the chair.

On the other hand, Yogi was still standing in his place. One of his hands massaged his forehead, feeling faint on the first day of school. He never thought that he would lose his face on the first day of school. Plus, it all happened in the presence of the girl he liked.

Again, he breathed. Maybe he should stop chasing after the girl. He was even sure that the girl was looking at him with disdain. However, he remained curious about the girl's expression. Therefore, he ventured and raised his face.

His attention swept across the entire class laughing at him. It felt like water was drowning him. It was like he was put in a dark room. Without air, it makes it difficult to catch his breath. The world seems to be widening, while he shrinks. However, there was a ray of light in all of it.

The girl laughed, but it didn't hurt. The girl's laughter seeped into her chest, giving her a soothing, warm feeling. The world was as if it was bleaching, leaving a girl in its eyes.

Yogi's eyes capture the moment, storing it in a personal file in his brain. It will be one of the best memories he has. He will never forget his whole life.

“Sit, stupid!” Yogi awakens from his daydream when Rizki pulls him and makes him sit back.

Simultaneously, the fellow beside him stood up and introduced himself. On the other hand, Yogi again bowed, recalling the girl's smile. It still looks charming even if only in the mind. I don't know what would happen if he saw that smile firsthand. Maybe he could die of joy.

“It seems that you can still find good things even under these circumstances,” Rizki muttered, making Yogi turn to the man.

“That's how, she looks prettier when she smiles,” Yogi replied with a smile.

“Well, seeing your smile, I understand how it feels,” Rizki said as she held her chin back. Rizki's attitude hasn't changed even after being humiliated like that, making Yogi grateful to have a friend like Rizki.

“Hey, you haven't answered my question,” Yogi said.

“Sure. I can give you some advice. But it all comes back to your own efforts. Keep trying and I will continue to support you,” replied Rizki.

“Sure.”

“This is his turn,” Rizki muttered, making Yogi immediately move his attention forward.

The girl got up from the seat. Turn around, face the rest of the class and start lip-opening, “My name, Renata Buana. You can call me Rena. I come from 8D. Greetings know.”

Rena sat back down, leaving a warm feeling in Yogi's chest.

“Greetings, Rena,” murmured Yogi.
