He did?

CHAPTER 9

Rest arrived, I decided to approach Tara who was sitting alone in the cafeteria where she used to sit. Since we were in class, we just kept quiet. Usually, that is what we do in class.

Ugh, I snorted annoyed. Again everyone was watching me. Is it wrong if I'm with Tara? Ah, the bodo time. Who cares.

"Tara, I want to apologize for Indira's attitude this morning," I said directly without further ado.

"It's okay" he replied slowly. This time without answering with a nod of the head. Because usually Tara only answers with a nod of the head

Tara looked surprised as I sat next to her.

"Why?" my many. "Gue can't sit here?"

"Not that, just why are you suddenly so good with me?"

I chuckle. "Emang all this time you thought I was evil?"

"It's not so, I mean ...."

"Yes I know. You feel weird, there's suddenly someone who cares about you. Sori, I don't mean that. But I just want to be your friend."

Tara glanced at me, tilting her head. Oh, my God, a really, really, that's a kid. But then he smiled.

"Thanks wants to be my friend."

I nodded with a smile. "Hmm, there's actually something I want to ask you. But, you don't get mad."

"What?" quickly answer.

"Actually that thing in the lab" I haven't had time to finish what I said. Tara cut.

“I expected it, surely that's what you want to ask me.” He smiled wryly while looking at his food.

“Lo don't like me asking about it, huh?” I said carefully.

For a while, Tara was silent. Then, he took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

He turned to me, “You really want to know?”

I quickly shook my head.

“Alright,” said Tara tilted her head and looked at me.

Then in a whispering voice, he said, “Actually I can see the future.”

I'm appalled. “What? Elo seriously?”

Tara just nodded slowly.

“Entahlah. Maybe they think I'm the cause of all those accidents. Though I was trying to protect them.” He bowed languidly.

“Then, why do you stay when you are stamped as jinxed? Why don't you tell me the truth?” my protest.

“Say Mom, I can't tell anyone about this ability of mine.”

“Keep why lo same story me?”

“Because you're a good person. I believe you can keep it a secret.” He threw his smile at me.

I'm nodding. “Of course. From now on I will be your friend. If you need something, do not hesitate to ask for help to me.”

“Thanks.”

I saw Tara's face full of excitement. That scary-looking face, wasn't as scary as the first time I saw it.

***

The bell for the end of the break has rung. Tara and I entered the class immediately. As expected, along the corridor all the pupils' eyes looked at us in wonder, until we were in front of the class. Whisper by whisper thrown by my class.

“Ih, you do it with this weird kid, anyway?” said cynical.

“Yes, that place of him shouldn't be here. He it fits him in class D,” said another.

I looked at them both lazily. Yeah, they're Dzihan and Elmira. The two people who bullied Tara the most.

Dzihan had long hair and was somewhat rickety, with a giant braid on the right that was clearly made to sweeten the messy appearance. Her face was definitely not as pretty as Tara's. However, his appearance was much more normal.

“You two why, anyway. Really like Bully the Tara?”

“SUSUKI dong, love us!” said Dzihan with a soft tone.

I try to hold back my anger.

“Listen, yes!” My voice was depressed from holding back anger. “Never dare you insult Tara again, and also lo,” point me to Elmira who is tall bongsor, with irregular shoulder-length hair, and a short skirt that only accentuates her big legs.

They were silent without sound. I know they don't dare to fight me. Besides being good in education, I am also talented in sports. Especially beladiri. Even though my appearance looks feminine. But, who would have thought that I had won a Karate match in Indonesia. The two of them seemed to want to fight me, but they chose to shut up and leave while looking at me cynically.

“Thanks,” says Tara suddenly.

“Lo just calm down, they will definitely not dare to disturb you again.” I'm embracing Tara.

Tara just smiled at me.

We immediately rushed to our table. I looked left-right. There is no Indira. There's only Febby, his countryman. Where is he, the bell has not come yet?
