Hate to Be Love

Chapter 35

Betrand stepped towards the empty bench beside Arumi.

"Sorry, can I sit here?" betrand asked kindly to Arumi.

Arumi who was reluctant to my brother Dudu with Betrand changed his mind because of his friendly attitude.

"May, just sit down" said Arumi.

Betrand sat down next to Arumi.

"Meet me, I am Betrand" said Betrand, extending his hand.

Arumi glanced at Betrand's hand hanging in the air.

"Arumi," said Arumi shaking Betrand's hand.

Next, Ridho began to explain the lesson in front of their class and listened to the explanation of the lesson delivered by their teacher.

At recess, Arumi stood up and was about to step towards the cafeteria because they were hungry.

"Rum, where are you going?" betrand asked to stop Arumi's move.

"Gue's going to the cafeteria, are you coming?" tanya Arumi offered.

"Byeah" said Betrand glad.

The three of them stepped towards the cafeteria, in the cafeteria they ordered food and the three of them got to know each other while enjoying the food they ordered earlier.

"I'm happy to know you guys" Betrand said.

"We are also happy to know you" said Arumi.

At 13:00, Tian hurriedly stepped out of his room.

He stepped into his personal assistant's room.

"Nick, I have to go to school right now" Tian told Nick as he was in Nick's room.

Nick glanced at the clock in his hand, he scrunched his forehead.

"Have you had lunch?" ask Nick to Tian.

"Huh? Lunch?" Tian only realized that he had not had time to fill his stomach.

"Yes" said Nick.

He was increasingly astonished by Tian's duties at school. Nick was also astonished at Tian, as he seemed to enjoy being a teacher more than being a CEO at the Piramids Groups Company.

"Geez, I forgot, I'll just eat at school" Tian said.

"Oh," said Nick.

Nick looks resigned.

"Hopefully this kind of situation doesn't last long" Nick murmured inwardly.

Tian walked out of his personal assistant's room, then stepped out of the company building, choosing to take an online taxi to school.

He had to get to school as soon as possible because Ridho had just contacted him and asked Tian to come to the School on the orders of the principal there was something the principal would talk about.

20 Minutes away, Tian arrives at school, he is greeted by his best friend.

"Thank God, you've come. Principal wait," Ridho told Tian.

"Yes, go there. You come with me, yes," Tian asked Ridho.

"Siip," said Ridho.

They stepped towards the Headmaster's room. As they entered the Headmaster's room, they saw Betrand sitting on the sofa in the room with the headmaster.

"Pak Tian, Mr. Ridho, please sit down, please" the Headmaster said.

"Okay, sir" said Ridho and Tian.

Ridho and Tian sat on the sofa right in front of the Headmaster.

"No, nothing, sir," Tian said.

"Look, Mr. Tian. At school we have a new student, Betrand," said the headmaster, glancing at the students sitting on the sofa beside them.

Betrand threw a smile at the two handsome teachers at the Cendikia High School.

The two handsome teachers also returned the smile of the new student. They wanted to know the continuation of the speech from the Headmaster.

"Mhm, Betrand is a basketball athlete in his home region, he has also participated in national basketball competitions. So, I hope for Mr. Tian to accept Betrand in the team that will enter the competition." The principal began to convey the core of his conversation.

"Oh, you can, sir. Then he can join the training later at 2, I will introduce the team later," Tian said, accepting Betrand with pleasure.

"Good, then Betrand can join the rest of the team today" said the Headmaster.

Tian nodded.

"We start training at 14:00" Tian said.

"Good, sir." Betrand nodded.

"Bro, I went to the cafeteria first, yes, I haven't had lunch yet, nih," Tian told Ridho after they were outside the Principal's room.

"It just so happens that I haven't eaten either, yuk together," Ridho asked.

They also stepped into the canteen to fill their stomachs that currently felt very hungry.

Tian sees Arumi and Laras sitting in the corner of the canteen, they look like they just finished eating.

Tian's gaze continued to be on the girl who made herself start to get upset, Tian's heart started to feel guilty about what he had done to Arumi.

"Bro, what do you want to eat?" ask Ridho to his best friend.

"Bro," called Ridho again because Tian was just silently sculpting.

Finally Ridho followed the direction of the view of the friend who is now focused on 2 students who are busy chatting after finishing their food.

"Bro, you think you really have a crush on Laras?" ask Ridho to stop him.

According to Ridho, Tian did have a special relationship with Laras.

"Hey, Bro," jolted Ridho at his best friend while nudging his best friend's burly arm.

"Eh," Tian sagged from his daydream.

His mind continued to regret everything he had done to the girl who had taken his basketball.

"Lu really have a crush on Laras?" tanya Ridho repeated his question.

He was more and more convinced that his friends had put their hearts on their students.

"What, anyway? Don't make it up," argued Tian.

"If it is true, I will keep a secret, really," said Ridho while pulling down his eyebrows tempting the friend.

"Hush, let's order some food," Tian asked to switch the conversation.

Finally they ordered food, then ate lunch with greed.

At 14:00 all basketball teams are on the court and ready to receive direction from the Master of the sport or their basketball coach, Tian.

"Good day, boys, today we have a new member on our team, you all know who Betrand is, he's a freshman at this school. I hope that you can accept the veterans in this team and work together to bring the good name of our school into the competition later," Tian said, starting training during the day.

After that they warm up, they run around the field. Some people accepted Betrand's presence but there were some team members who were not happy to see Betrand's presence on the team.

"Do you agree that there are new students directly into our basketball team?" satria said he did not seem to like the new student.

"Yes, we are just to be able to join this basketball team must struggle," said Rendy who also does not like.

"Hey, relax, let's try first how to play. He knows he's better than us" Aldo advised his friends.

Seriate...
