EMBERS

Jealous

"Where are you now?"

Agam asked Sairish. They were now leisurely walking around the classroom corridor about to visit the cafeteria together.

"It's been light, brother. Not as anxious as yesterday," Sairish replied with a sweet smile to Agam.

"Are you really traumatized by that?" tanya Agam felt pity.

Sairish nodded in agreement and said, "Slightly, Brother."

"It's okay. Make lessons. From now on, you have to be careful, Sairish. Danger is always around us. When we let our guard down a little, danger will surely take the opportunity to approach us" advises Agam.

"I don't seem to be afraid of danger right now." Sairish while smiling nosily as she said that.

"Why?" ask Agam confused.

Sairish replied, "Because if I am exposed to danger, Brother Agam will come to help me like yesterday."

Agam who heard that was immediately shocked. Didn't expect Sairish to dare to overhaul him like just now. But actually Agam liked when Sairish began to dare to overhaul him.

That's a sign that Sairish is no longer reluctant to Agam and is getting comfortable with Agam. I am happy to realize that. Sairish seemed to have started to open the walls of herself bit by bit to Agam.

It seems like it won't be long for Agam to be able to have Sairish. I can't wait to wait for that.

"You're not beating me, are you, Sairish?"

Agam tried to be normal and serve Sairish who was teasing him.

Sairish laughed then asked, "If it's true that I just overpowered Kak Agam, then why? Doesn't Agam like it?"

Agam. Then he countered Sairish, saying, "Of course I like it. I love everything about you, Sairish."

Sairish instantly blushed in embarrassment as Agam regained his head. The student did not even dare to tease Agam like before. The two of them had also entered the canteen area by now. The two sat down at one of the canteen desks that had yet to be over-ridden and went back to chatting on a different topic.

Without Agam and Sairish knowing, Chelsea had since noticed their interaction at the cafeteria table he occupied. Chelsea looked at Agam and Sairish with a jealous expression of the closeness of the two.

I don't know, Chelsea did not feel like if Agam was close to other students. Chelsea are not ready. Just one year Agam and himself broke off the relationship. But Chelsea did not expect Agam would move on from him that soon.

"When were they that close?" chelsea asked in an annoyed tone.

"Since Agam helped the participants when they drowned in the lake yesterday. The name of the participant was Sairish" replied Edgar who sat in front of Chelsea. He answered while eating his cow steak greedily.

"Oh, so the participant is just returning the favor because Agam helped him yesterday?" Chelsea asked again.

"No. Agam did like Sairish from the moment they met at the selection stage. Sairish had already targeted Agam to be her boyfriend. That's why Agam has been sticking to Sairish lately" Edgar explained.

Edgar also felt there was something strange about the current Chelsea game. Because after he gave that fact, Chelsea's face looked like angry and did not accept.

Chelsea quietly did not answer and did not even try to deny. His gaze continued to look towards Agam and Sairish. Do not forget also the expression of jealousy that is increasingly visible to Edgar's eyes. Makes Edgar even more sure if his guess is right.

"Crazy! You seriously haven't moved on from Agam, Chel?" edgar asked in an unexpected tone.

"With Chelsea silent now, it seems like your guess is correct, Ed. You have to move on, Chelsea. Don't expect more if Agam will come back to like you after your fatal mistakes in the past to him" advises Vivian who sits next to Chelsea.

"What are you two talking about, anyway. Who is jealous too? Do not accuse! And I don't like it well if you've brought up the past."

Chelsea, who had been silent, became angry and immediately told Edgar and Vivian to stop talking to him. He again notices Agam and Sairish who are still not finished with their chatting activities at the other cafeteria table. Again accompanied by his jealousy.

Edgar and Vivian who realized that could only look pity to Chelsea. Anyone who sees Chelsea's facial expression can be sensitive if the woman is jealous. It must hurt to be Chelsea. It hurts to see an ex that we still like already like a new person and we have no right to be angry because of our own mistakes in the past that made our ex go and look for new people which can cure his heartache.

Edgar and Vivian also tried to move on from the Chelsea problem which was not able to move on from Agam. The two went back to eating their beef steak voraciously.

Until then Edgar again stopped eating his steak because he felt Hugo was watching him since. Edgar looked at Hugo sitting beside him. Edgar's eyes frowned in surprise when he found Hugo staring at Edgar's beef steak with a terrified expression. Hugo hasn't even eaten his steak since.

"Hugo, how come you've been silencing your steak ever since? And why do you express yourself like a frightened person like that? You're not feeling well?" ask Edgar.

Hugo was really panicking and scared right now. Especially when you know if the school lunch menu today is a meat steak. She suddenly recalled the incident when she passed the kitchen of the school cafeteria yesterday. Still vividly remembered Hugo's recollection if the new school chef who had a smile like a psychopath processing dog meat so much yesterday in the kitchen canteen.

Hugo also began to have a bad prejudice. What if the beef steak that became the school lunch menu today was actually a steak from processed dog meat yesterday.

Hugo knew that his prejudices could be right and could be wrong. But, what if the prejudice is correct. I don't know why Hugo had such a bad feeling about the Chef. It was suspicious in Hugo's eyes.

Plus the psychopathic smile that the school chef showed her yesterday was so scary. The chef seemed to signal Hugo if he wanted to do something evil, namely by serving lunch beef steak when in fact is dog meat.

Hugo's fear is growing. Hugo's getting worried. Hugo was afraid that his prejudice would be real. He finally shouted a sentence that immediately made all the canteen visitors stop their activities and looked at Hugo with a strange look now.

"Don't eat!"
