ICE & FIRE

Attempts

Citra has not apologized to Arvin, as Citra takes time to gather her intentions and seeks to dispel her hatred for Arvin that she has grown since Arvin told her to stay away.

Now it's an art lesson. Arvin carries his own miniature results and does not use the miniature results given by Citra through Gilang.

Arvin presented himself in front of the class. It is clear that the face does not like Bu Rini against Arvin who is talking in front of the class to explain the miniature he made.

All smoothly until finished presenting the results of the miniature report, but this result did not make Bu Rini appreciate it.

"Your value is C, please sit down" said Ms. Rini.

"I've been working on it, why get a C ma'am?" Arvin protests to Bu Rini who does not appreciate his efforts.

"This is a group task not an individual task" said Bu Rini while writing Arvin's value in his book.

"I've been working with my group, but I got kicked out"

"Because you're not doing it"

"But..."

"SIT DOWN!" Said Bu Rini snapping at Arvin to tell him to sit down.

Arvin put down the report on Ms. Rini's desk and went walking back towards her seat. The image only fell silent when he saw it all, The gloomy face was shown Citra when Arvin was sitting in his seat, But when Dina asked him immediately Citra's face smiled and tried to hide it all.

This incident made Citra feel compelled to apologize to Arvin.

YGG!!!

The first break bell rings.

As usual Arvin is one of the last people to leave class at break time. The image waits for Arvin in his seat and Arvin, who is tidying up all the books on his desk, plans to apologize now.

"Now?" Ask Dina who knows that Citra will try to apologize to Arvin.

"Yes" Citra said in an uninspired tone and sounded like she was hesitant to do so.

"Okay I go first huh, Semangatd dong!" Said Dina while clenching her finger and raising her hand to encourage Citra.

Dina walks out of class and leaves Citra to talk to Arvin to apologize.

Arvin finished tidying up all the books on his desk, after which Arvin walked out of the classroom. Citra's heart skipped a beat as Arvin began walking out of class. The word "Wait" seems difficult to say to stop Arvin.

"Arvin wait" Citra said as Arvin just passed all the seats in the class to head out of the classroom.

The image immediately stood up and ran towards Arvin. Arvin just stopped his steps and did not turn around to look towards Citra.

"I want to talk to you for a minute" Citra said.

"Speak up and stop to keep spending my time"

"Look over here"

Citra is still behind Arvin, Citra does not start talking until Arvin wants to turn his body to face him. Just a few seconds waiting for the words from Citra, Arvin immediately left.

"Respecting people? Isn't it you who doesn't value people by getting someone out of your group?" Arvin said as he stared intently at Citra.

Arvin's words and sharp gaze made it seem to emit a cold aura that made Citra just speechless and unable to say anything. The image immediately lowered its head to avoid his gaze, it seemed like he was sorry for wanting to talk face to face with him.

"Ma...Ma's...That's why I want to apologize" said Citra who looked nervous.

"I'm sorry for what?" Ask Arvin who does not know the real reason of Citra.

"I'm sorry I got you out of my group and because of me you got scolded by Miss Rini"

"Is this an insult? I guess you'll enjoy the show because your plan worked very smoothly" Arvin said.

Arvin waited for an answer from Citra but seen Citra just silently lowered her head and did not give any answer. After a while there was still no reply from Citra, Arvin immediately went walking towards the exit of the classroom.

The classroom was quiet because all the students went to rest, Citra straightened her head and only realized that Arvin was no longer in front of her.

The image goes directly to the outside of the classroom and looks Arvin who is walking towards the library through the classroom hallway.

"Wait for me, I'm not done talking to you yet" Citra said as she held Arvin's hand from behind and tried to hold him back so that Arvin wouldn't go any further.

"If you're sorry why just now? And also why don't you explain all this to Miss Rini? Get away from me and please celebrate your victory" said Arvin while trying to release both hands of Citra holding one of his hands.

"I've been intending to apologize to you from last week and also I'll explain everything to Miss Rini, but I need time for everything. I will do everything at the right time" Citra said as she held Arvin's hand trying to let go.

"You're apologizing to me now and you're saying it's the right time?"

"Yes this is the right time" Citra insisted.

"Keep you want to explain all this to Miss Rini when? What's the right time to explain to Bu Rini is when the C value has landed on my report?" Ask Arvin who wants to know all the explanations said Citra earlier.

"I'm sorry, I promise I'll tell Ms. Rini immediately"

"Are you afraid that you will not participate in the Se Province dance competition to represent this School. Miss Rini is one of the trainers for the dance?" Ask Arvin who already knows first the reason for the real Image.

"I dare to talk to Ms. Rini, even if I was kicked out of the race is also not a problem for me" said Citra who denied all allegations Arvin.

"You do so now" said Arvin sign the words Citra.

"Not so fast, I need time" said Citra who was still defending herself.

"Until the right time or until you've finished the race?" Ask Arvin.

Arvin's question made Citra again silent and did not reply to a word from Arvin. Citra's hand grip to Arvin began to weaken because all his strength held Arvin's hand which continued to try to release his hand.

"Let go of my hand and forget all these problems, then go and get away from me" said Arvin who had managed to release his hand and walked away from Citra.

Citra did not know which one she would choose, whether Arvin or the dance competition. If he tells Bu Rini about all those things, which is clear Citra will be scolded and the worst possibility is that she will not take part in a dance competition.

Citra wants to focus on the dance competition and follow Arvin's antics is to forget about this problem, but it seems like a bad idea because it is an act of running from the problem and not want to be responsible. It seemed that Citra did not revive her evil thoughts for fear of worse events happening to her.
