Chapter 9: Classmeet
The final semester assessment is over. Before the holiday arrived, Osis held a classmeet for 3 days. At first I thought it would be boring, but it wasn't. It's day 3. The final day of all competitions. Now I'm sitting on the sidelines, right behind the goal. Yuli chose this place, he said that behind the goal, we would be safe.
"Sister Ryan is cool well, Ti," said Yuli who sat next to me, "it's a pinter acting, a soccer player anyway. My dream boyfriend."
I laugh. What Yuli said was true. Ryan's sister is really a dream boyfriend. If I get shot I will accept it.
"Lo likes Ryan's brother or his sister anyway?"
"Sister, Nye. But if Brother Ryan wants to be with me, well I accept it with pleasure."
"Ryanya's brother doesn't want to be the same."
"Gue knows. Kan Kak Ryan belongs to Tia," said Yuli as she raised her eyebrows and hugged my arm.
I didn't want to respond to the children's conversation. But I was too focused on looking at Brother Ryan who was running with sweat that kept dripping. In fact, with a face full of sweat, red, and eyes that narrowed due to the sunlight, he still looks funny in my eyes. Until I smiled to myself after remembering that I was close to him. It feels like a dream when people who are of public concern instead ask you for attention. At the break of the 1st round, Brother Ryan walked up to me and asked for a drink I was holding. "About having a girl, ask her girl for a drink. Though the osis was willing to drink," Jihan quipped making Kak Ryan glance at the child.
"I'm a sincere mintain. Kok lo who sewot," he said while giving an empty drinking bottle. Instead of throwing it away because he drinks, turn it back to me. Lucky funny.
"That's a big deal, huh? Sampe dryness that," said I who was embraced by him. He looks still bored. I know he's the one who's relied on in this futsal race. Because he is the most prominent. In fact, all his friends passed the ball to him.
I took a tissue in my bag. He was shocked when I put a tissue on his face. "Sorry to surprised you. But dry Brother a lot," said I continue to wipe his sweat. He smiled and let me do it.
The 2nd round begins. But unfortunately I have to be a supporter of my classmate who will race tug of war. It just so happens that Yuli and Anye are coming along because they look strong. I am happy with my skinny body. Will not be selected for a tough race. Even I was just a supporter at this classmeet event.
"Udah, don't win. Hispek-nyapeki," said my class leader, Herman to the children who participated in the race. 3 today he indeed continues to say that. My class is different. They entered the race just so as not to get fined. The children said the gift was unattractive. Just cleaning tools. While to win it must fight many classes until it can go to the final round. Instead, they plan to give up. Even a tug-of-war race runs for no more than 20 seconds. It was because they were just pretending to pull but then together let go of that rope, making their opponents fall all over. Worse yet their opponent was the Class Brother.
After doing the action, we casually left, ignoring the curses that came out of the mouth of the upperclassman. I sat back behind the goal. Coincidentally, class Kak Ryan has finished the futsal race and won. He sat next to me. Just as he was sitting next to me, my friends went looking for their respective doi. Yuli again deketin Randy, Dita again with Kak Gana, while Anye and Jihan again looking for food.
"Riz, take a picture of me as my future girlfriend dong," said Kak Ryan to a group of friends next to us. We both became the center of attention. Sis Ryan's friends were clamoring and some were saying, "beautiful too, yan, your choice."
Wait for. Is it true that Brother who said that praising my face? In fact, my face is not comparable with Brother Ryan's white, pointed nose, thick eyebrows, sexy lips, and thin whiskers that make me like. While I was black, my nose was only 1/4, my eyebrows thin, lips wide, how I was not insecure.
The friend that Ryan's sister called approached and photographed the two of us. This is my second time with him. The photo of the time of the drama was properly posted on his instagram with the caption, "Plot twistnya, Mother wooden girl did not die. But go to the palace so you can take a picture of the prince."
The post has been shared by more than 800 people and more than 200 comments. Even he's not shy about my account tag. Because of this, my followers increased which was originally 400 to 700.
"Ntar there's singing together. Do you want to duet with me?" ask after we finished taking pictures.
"My voice is ugly, brother."
"Good, deck. Wanna? When else do you sing with a guitar with a handsome prince like me?"
I laughed, "so nice to say handsome."
He also laughed while shuffling my hair. "So how? Not accepting rejection."

It's time for Ryan and I to get on stage. We both had no training at all. Just use the song I ever vn and send it to Brother Ryan. I sent that vn also at the insistence of Brother Ryan who asked me to sing his request song. He said, my voice is good. But I think it's ordinary.
"Ntar let's not be nervous, just look at me," said Kak Ryan who stood next to me while holding his guitar.
If I see him when he performs. It's not that I won't be nervous, instead my nervousness will add up to the possibility of causing me to stutter. Anyway I have to remember one, can't look him in the eye.
***I will not let go
You hold my heart
We can't be separated
Let anything happen
I'm the one who can't let go
You have my heart
Maybe too soon though
For both of us
To say
We will be together forever
Through everything
We will be together forever
There will be no doubt
Now and later
Believe
I'm the one who can't let go
You hold my heart
Maybe too soon though
For both of us
To say
We will be together forever
Through everything
We will be together forever
There will be no doubt
Now and later
Believe
You're the only one
Created for me
Houo.
We will be together forever
There will be no doubt
Now and later
Believe
There will be no doubt
Now and later
There will be no doubt
Now and later
Trust***
A round of applause and whistling after we ended the impromptu duet. I could hear the screams of fans of Ryan's brother who flocked to sit in front of the stage even though it had to be hot. When singing, I wanted to focus on the audience because I was afraid I could stutter if I saw the guy's eyes. However, Brother Ryan kept nudging his shoes on my shoes. A code I believe I should look at. I had to look at him, sing a song with plus his guitar accompaniment that looks cool.
After looking at her, I couldn't help but focus on her. As a result, I could see how cool he was singing while playing the guitar. Plus the occasional smile he gave me. It's true that seeing him makes me nervous.
"I'm cool, can duet with Brother Ryan," I said as we got off the stage.
He smiled as he helped me down the stairs. "Gue hope, you can understand, deck."
