DEAR

Episode 26's

The next day, I went about my usual activities. The only thing that is different is the Qarima. His attitude towards me changed. When I asked, “You saw my uniform?”, he didn't answer. Even Qhaza, “Qhaza, I did not find my uniform!”

“So I can't find it myself, right? Stop relying on others!” Said ketus.

He's so different. His words to me, inexplicably, sounded harsh. I was surprised to hear that. Never happened before, though.

Leah and Dad are not home. They both went very early to my grandmother's house. No one can help me. I spent about an hour looking for my uniform, I don't know, it's a trivial matter. But my feelings are not calm. I cried when I looked for it, not because I didn't find it, but because of something else, I don't know what it was.

I'm late for school.

Qarima and Qhaza have been going since.

When he was about to leave, in front of the door of the house, there was Gin standing.

“Hai!” The first word he said.

“Gin ..”

“I'm here ... to meet Qarima!” Said doubtful.

“No.”

“Ooo, then we go to school only.”

“Ya!”

We walked slowly, my legs were heavy to step on. It should be too late, we're walking fast, right?

“Leva ... Are you okay?”

“Um!” I answered with a nod, even though he did not see me.

“Do you hate me?”

“No! Why?”

“Regarding last night's incident, I feel bad. I ... how do I say it. Hmmm... Want to eat ice cream?”

“Ice cream?”

“Ya!”

“When?”

“Now?”

“Now we go to school!” I said, astonished.

“One time truant, no problem, right?”

What's with this exemplary kid?!

I finally had ice cream in my hand.

“How does it feel?”

“Enak!” I said, any kind of ice cream is always good for me.

We didn't say much, just enjoying the ice cream on the side of the road while watching the vehicles passing in front of us.

“Leva, are you .. strong run?” He asked suddenly, after a long time of silence.

Whatdoes thatmean? What's he planning? I shook my head.

“Then you must be strong!”

“Why?”

“Because the school security guard is coming towards us. His face growled, what do you think he'll do to us?”

“No idea!”

“I don't want to know either, come on!”

Damnit. He pulled my hand, I had to follow him. He ran too fast. Sure enough, the security guard was after us too. Oh no, no one had chased me before other than the ghost girl, even though it wasn't me she was after, but this time it was obvious the security guard was after me. Butwhy?

“Gin, why do we run?” I said gasping.

“Avoid security guard!”

“Why?”

“Can you say another word besides why, why, why?”

“Why?”

“Oh stop! But, I don't see that security guard anymore! Where did it go?”

“Gin, in front of you is a wall!”

Aubruk!!!

He hit the wall.

Bloody nose. Hahahaha, thank goodness.

“I'm here!” Said the security guard who appeared suddenly.

“Hai, sir!” Gin, he smiled. Why not just watch his nose bleed?

“Quinzha Leva, why are you running?”

“Gin withdraw my hand.”

“Gin? Your name's Gin?”

“Gin, this is the second time you're late. Quinzha Leva .. I'm tired of seeing your face, so go to class now!”

“Good!”

“What? It's discrimination. How about Leva, he is also late ..”

“He's not late, but you made him late!”

“I don't understand, he's often late! Should have punished us both!”

“Be quiet young man!” Said the security guard, “I have trouble dealing with it!” Whisper to Gin.

“Padahan I think it would be nice to be punished with Leva!” Ratap Gin's.

No fun punishment! You should also know, the security guard never punished me.

“I'm sorry!” I said to Mr. Security.

I left them both, I don't know what's going to happen to him it's none of my business. But even if it's not delivered, I have to say thank you for the ice cream this morning. I feel calm. The mess in my head, gone.

As soon as I got to class, the second hour had just started.

“Leva, what happens after you get home?” Tysha.

I don't understand what he's asking. Just shut up!

“Leva, Leva!” Calling her as if whispering, she would be in trouble if raising her voice. The teacher is teaching.

“Mother, Tysha keeps calling me!”

Evil me!

“He asked, but I don't understand what he's asking. What am I supposed to do?”

Why do I have to ask such a silly question? Conscious Quinzha Leva! This isn't you! You're possessed, call a shaman, get the demon out. Oh, turns out the demon doesn't exist, meaning I'm the demon?

“Tysha. What's up?” Ask the teacher then.

“Ti-no! I was reading my mother's writing on the board, it looks like Leva misheard.”

Listened wrong? I'm not a demon, I'm deaf! Pimply.

“Leva, you fuck!”

Is he really reading the writing on the board? I obviously heard ‘Leva, you damn it!’ I thought I was going to see an ear doctor. Something strange about my ears.

A while later Gin entered the room, he was full of sweat. I have no interest in imagining what happened to him.

                                   ***

“Levaa!” Vicky yelled out my name. “Let's go to the canteen.”

“Good.” I'm lirih.

When I was in the cafeteria, I wanted to ask her, why was she crying last night? But it didn't, because there I met all the extra class kids, except Tysha. Their faces looked messy, I mean there were some small wounds that adorned his face.

“Sit!” Dawn Word. He was in the cafeteria before us.

Me and Vicky joined.

“Leva, what do you want to eat? I'm the one who bought it!” Said Abi.

“Bakso!” My answer.

Then, Abi ordered meatballs for me as well as for the others. Additional grade kids, all here, except Tysha.“Leva,”

“How is Qhaza doing, is he okay?” Ask Abi. I remember, he hit Qhaza yesterday before I left them all.

“Dia ... weird!”

“Any!?” Ask them all at once. “What's weird?”

“Do not know. Pokonya her ... weird!”

“Yes that's why I asked what's weird?” Adit.

“How about Qarima?” Ask Dawn.

“Qarima too, weird!”

“Ha?”

“But, don't worry Leva!” Said Abi, “We are all friends. Last night's incident will not happen again.”

They all look at me. It was as if he was showing his deepest regret.

“The taxi is good.” My praise. Though insipid. Uncomfortable with awkward situations like this, so come on, stop.

                                   ***

One month after the incident passed, everything returned to normal. Only Qarima was still acting strangely towards me, he ignored me. But now that I consider it a normal thing since this has already passed a month, Qhaza never speaks words that I find rude again.

Lea still often do his experiments, father also his love of French cuisine is increasing. But this time, he actually took us to a French restaurant, not in France but a suburban restaurant serving French cuisine, just opened. He said, “It feels, not as good as I thought! Actually, not tasty.” Even so, he still likes it.

Ramona and Marlyn were still as usual, they followed me wherever I went. As well, they eat more free at my house, they do have a mode of approaching me. I was used by useless beans.

Vicky, I've stayed at his house three times, so he, more often come to visit my house. Meanwhile Gin, well Gin. He along with a few selected students representing the school to a provincial sports tournament, they've been there for three days, will be back in one week.

Then El, he hasn't been to my house since Tysha's. At school, I never saw him being with Qhaza again, even though once he kept greeting me kindly, his attitude did not change for me.

Meanwhile Tysha, lately she's been very annoying. I reckon.

Tysha was like trying to keep me away from Fairel and the other classmates, she used to smile cynically at me (it happened in my mind), her loyal fans bumped into me more often (it really happened), she said, in regular class she always wiggles my chair, she often says I'm fucking, even accidentally spilled a fizzy drink on my shirt. At that time, he walked, then stumbled over a stone and I was in front of him, his drink spilled over me and he fell to the ground. He was on purpose, right?
