ICE & FIRE

Pipi

The image remained standing in the library and just pensively thought of the incident earlier.

Looking at the image that just stood still. Bobby nudged Kiki and whispered to her

"Look at Citra, why is he?"

"You did, and you said that" Kiki said, blaming Bobby.

"Sorry" Bobby replied.

"Partner, you're okay, right?" Ask Kiki to Citra.

The image is still silent and does not answer Kiki's question.

Kiki clapped both of her hands to resuscitate the contemplating Image.

"Eh, what's up Ki?" Citra asked surprised by Kiki's clap.

"Are you okay?" Ask Kiki.

"It's okay" said Citra who looked limp while looking at Arvin.

"Sit down Cit first" Kiki said while pulling the bench to make it easier for Citra to sit down.

The image turned away from Arvin and sat down next to Kiki who was reading a book.

Kiki saw Citra who was still pensive, Kiki knew that Citra was still thinking about the thing earlier.

"That's not to be thought of" Kiki said to Citra.

"yes" answered Citra listlessly.

"Sinta really likes to bother you, right?" Said Bobby.

"Yes every time I meet Sinta, she and her friends always disturb me. Even though I never had a problem with him, all this time I always held back my emotions and tried to forgive Sinta and her friends"

"Maybe the problem is not about your behavior to Sinta but about Saka Kak as much as you" Kiki said as she closed the book she read.

"meaning? I don't have anything with Saka"

"She said you guys look near the time of exkul, Kak Saka will join the badminton excul which is close to the dance exkul and others like to see you decket same Kak Saka when finished exkul"

"What does Sinta have to do with her?" Citra said.

"Sita's sister likes Saka, yes basically she is jealous of you Cit"

The image directly lowered its head, sticking its head to the table.

Kiki took the book that Citra took and gave it to Citra.

"Partner, Mending you read this book. You haven't finished reading it yet" Kiki said, giving the book to Citra.

The image lifted its head from the table then picked up the book that Kiki had given.

After taking his book Citra did not open the page at all and just fell silent and looked at the book given by kiki.

Bobby who saw it immediately nudged Kiki's body.

Kiki simply told Bobby to shut up and let Citra calm her mind.

"I want to return this book first yes" Citra said as she stood up and left her seat.

"Yes" answered Kiki.

After finishing returning the book, Citra intends to return to her class. But Citra sees Arvin moving his jaw and occasionally rubbing his cheek making Citra feel more guilty to Arvin.

"Arvin, still sick?" Image to Arvin.

Arvin immediately stopped moving his jaw and preferred to stay still and ignore the image.

"Arvin, thank you for helping me out"

Arvin remains to ignore the Image.

The image sits next to Arvin and takes a closer look at Arvin's cheek that was hit hard earlier.

Arvin began to be uncomfortable with Citra who saw him constantly. Arvin turned his head towards Citra and Citra directly held Arvin's cheek.

"Your cheeks are red, looks like it still hurts huh?" Ask Citra while stroking Arvin's cheeks.

Arvin brushed aside Citra's hand and closed the book.

"Don't think of me, you better think of your wet clothes" Arvin said as he walked away to return the book.

The image goes out of the library and waits for Arvin outside.

"What the hell?" Arvin said as he tried to release the hand of Citra that tightly grasped his hand.

"Follow me to the UKS"

"Well?"

"I compress your cheeks with cold water so that the pain is gone"

"No need, my cheek has not hurt anyway.this is also the bell in" said Arvin while releasing the hand of Citra grasping.

"Just a minute" Citra said while pulling back Arvin's hand towards the UKS.

Citra and Arvin opened and entered the UKS room, not a single person was seen in the UKS room because the UKS officers were resting.

Citra told Arvin to sit down while he prepared cold water and a towel to compress Arvin's cheek that was hit by the slap earlier.

After finishing preparing everything, Arvin wanted to compress his own cheeks without the help of Citra.

"I'm compressing myself" said Arvin.

"Udah was silent first" Citra said rejecting Arvin's request.

The image sits directly opposite Arvin and then compresses to the cheek section of Arvin.

When Citra compresses Arvin's cheeks. Arvin turned his face and did not see Citra at all, It made Citra prank Arvin by pressing a towel that compresses Arvin's cheek.

"Argh..." Arvin's voice trying to endure the pain.

"He was not sick" Citra said, insinuating Arvin.

"You were intentional?" Arvin said while looking at Citra.

"People as cold as you are angry are funny!"

The image felt successful in raving Arvin.

There was a small frown on Arvin's forehead that indicated he was angry when he looked at Citra.

The image of a faint smile restrained the laughter as Arvin looked at it.

"What?" Asked Arvin while turning his face away.

"Don't move most dong" Citra said as she pressed the towel compressing Arvin's cheek a little hard.

"Argh...You're crazy, aren't you?" Arvin said as he brushed off the hand of Citra holding the towel.

"Sorry, Arvin why did you help me?" Citra said while dipping the towel in cold water.

Arvin looked towards Citra and was silent for a moment then stood up from his seat.

"The lesson hours will start, better clear this up and get back to class" Arvin said.

"Wait, Answer my question first" Citra said while squeezing a towel.

KRINGGGS...

The bells come in

"You can't answer my question, can you?Why do you always help me?" Citra said.

"I never helped you but when there was a crowd it made me uncomfortable" said Arvin.

Arvin took a towel and place the cold water held by Citra to be cleaned.

"Let me go" Saut Citra.

The image cleans the water and towel while Arvin is out UKS.

After finishing everything, Citra came out of UKS and was surprised there was still Arvin waiting for him outside.

"Why are you still here?" Citra said while wearing shoes.

"Old" said Arvin as he stood up from his seat.

"You don't want to help" Citra said.

"Say let you" said Arvin as he walked into the classroom and left Citra.

"Yes that's not it" Citra said while standing up after finishing wearing shoes.

The smiling image saw Arvin who preceded him heading into the classroom.

The moment in the Citra library thought this was a bad day for him but not too bad for him because he could still smile .
