I Call it, Love

Episode 9-Really?

"Hi, listen to Lucas it is not much different from Riu," said a girl who was gathering with several people beside her.

"Why is that?"

"Say, Lucas was also from a rich family, just like Riu. Their faces are equally handsome, surely in our school there will be two popular men, Riu and Lucas," he said with a carefree look.

"Gee ... Lucas is great, yes. Though only 3 days he attended school here, but he was already popular among the girls only," said one of them.

"of course! Now that Riu has a girlfriend, there's no way I can take her. But now there is Lucas who is as popular as Riu," he said, muttering.

"Yes, that's it .. No wonder Bomi can date Riu. He's the prettiest kid in our school,"

"Huh, it's so nice to be the prettiest" added a long black-haired girl.

"But, Eliana is no less beautiful than Bomi. Unfortunately, he interacts less with a lot of people, that's all. Imagine if he always approached a boy like Bomi, surely he would be popular too" he said.

*BRAK!!*

Eliana opened her locker safe, some girls who were talking about her suddenly fell silent as soon as they found Eliana's osok.

"Try to get to him,"

"Hm, okay!"

"Eliana .. "call a girl who seems foreign to her.

"Ah, sorry? Who, huh?" ask Eliana to make sure. The long black haired girl then smiled widely at him.

"A--I, introduce my name Sora. I'm from class 12#3. Sorry to call you out of the blue," said the girl introducing herself.

"Oh, yes .. glad to meet you," replied Eliana who then reached out her hand. The girl who claimed to be named Sora immediately returned Eliana's hand.

It seemed that some of his friends were paying attention to those who looked familiar and suitable. A hand was holding onto Eliana's shoulder from behind.

The students who were focused on looking at Eliana suddenly lost their eyes on Lucas who just appeared. Lucas' arrival certainly made the girls scream in excitement.

"Eliana, let's go to class," Lucas asked with a cold face.

"Ta-but, I was chatting with Sora," Eliana refused, and looked at Sora's face that seemed to be amazed by Lucas' good looks.

"Oh, I've never seen you. You're Eliana's friend, aren't you?" ask Lucas to make sure. The question posed by him was able to make the girl named Sora was wrong.

He tidied up his messy hair, then answered Lucas's question.

"S-I'm actually just getting acquainted with Eliana. Ta-but, but let's just say we're friends," he replied a little stammering.

"Sorry, but is Eliana allowed to go to class first? He hasn't even put his backpack down yet" Lucas said, revealing a big smile that could steal the hearts of girls.

"Te--of course!! Doesn't matter! Anyway, we can meet again later,"

Lucas then pulls Eliana's arm and takes her into the classroom on the 2nd floor. They climb one by one the stairs from the school lobby to arrive at their destination.

"Heuh, why did you suddenly appear?" eliana asked with a lethargic look on her face.

"Why indeed? Don't I have to go to school?"

"Ah, yes, that's it. Whatever you say, you don't seem to understand what I mean" eliana said, before Lucas' footsteps.

*Ding*Dong*Deng*Dong*

Even with the teachers who were teaching in each class, they left the class where they were teaching to return to the teacher room.

"Huh, there are finally hours to relax as well!" shouted someone who immediately got up from his chair.

"Actually the lesson this time is not to relax, he said there will be practice along with other 12th class," the class leader said as he pulled some items from his backpack.

"What practice is it?" eliana asked with a serious look.

"Well, let's go to the lab room! We should be on time to get there," the class president instructed.

Some children who are still relaxing then take out their stationery from their respective backpacks. They then followed the footsteps of the class leader from behind.

"There really is, like this?" asked Lucas in surprise.

"He'em, of course. But lessons like this are more exciting than usual" Eliana replied.

...****************...

After some time, all the students of class 12 had gathered in the laboratory room. In that place it felt so crowded and noisy because everything was gathered in the same room.

It was Riu who slowly approached Bomi who was standing next to him. The two cross paths, but Riu did not look at his face in the slightest.

"Are you disappointed?" lucas asked whispering to Eliana's ear.

"No, I've been trying to forget her" replied Eliana sniffly.

"Hmm, Eliana ..be patient, I know she was forced to do this for the good of both of you" Clau said, trying to calm Eliana down.

He did not touch Clau's words, only with a wry smile that was shown as an answer. Slowly his two eyeballs glanced at a man who not too long ago was still familiar with him.

But in just a moment, the figure had gone away.

"Consider, everyone!!!" shouted the principal teacher using the mic that had been prepared.

"Please no one speak!!" shouted back.

"There's a common practice that we have to do, that's why I gathered you all in the same room" he continued.

Some of the students whispered to each other, hoping that this practice would be with someone they loved. But not with Eliana, because she believes there is no more love in her eyes.

He who was muttering to think of something was surprised because Sora nudged his arm. Instantly his reverie was renewed.

"Why aren't you with Riu?" ask him to make sure.

"Ti-no," Eliana answered briefly.

"There's a problem, huh?"

"Hi! Nevermind! Don't bother Eliana! Today he's not in the mood, you know!" reprimand Clau who then pulled Eliana's arm and carried her away from the Sora society.

Of course Eliana's departure also brought Lucas who was so close to her. Riu who realized that Eliana was no longer beside her, somehow her heart felt unsettled.

He looked at the ceiling of the laboratory room while muttering something.
