ICE & FIRE

Because of You

After those few days, Citra tried to apologize and explain everything to Arvin. Citra always tries to keep approaching him, although now Citra does not expect Arvin can like it. At least Arvin can be nice again to Citra, so Citra can be calm and not always feel guilty.

Citra told Dina about the apology incident. Dina did not tell Citra to try to apologize again to Arvin. according to Dina if Citra continues to do so Arvin will throw even more cruel words.

YGG!!!

The second break sounded.

"Partner, I'm first" said Dina.

"Would you meet Dicky?" Ask Citra while putting her book in the bag.

"Yes" said Dina smilingly looking at Citra and then walking out of the Class.

Citra finished tidying up all her books and intended to go to the library, but her steps came to a halt when she saw the crowd gathered on Arvin's bench. Everyone saw Arvin and the son fighting. The angry Son looks at Arvin while Arvin just looks at him with a flat face without expression.

"What's this?" Ask Citra to one of her friends.

"The Son's things were stolen by Arvin"

Son lifts ape in Arvin's uniform. Son's left hand punch was directly aimed at the stomach of Arvin which made him fall to the floor, Arvin just speechless and no sign of any fight at all from Arvin. The image did not remain silent as the Son walked towards Arvin who had fallen to the floor. The son clenched his fingers and planned to beat up Arvin again.

"You're nothing!" Citra said while pushing the Son away from Arvin.

"He stole my phone" said the Son, pointing at Arvin.

"Vin" Citra said as she looked towards Arvin.

Arvin tries to stand up and Citra tries to help him, but Arvin refuses to be helped by shaking Citra's hand.

"I'm not that cool" said Arvin, staring intently at the Son standing right in front of him.

"Do you know where Arvin did that?" Ask Citra to Son.

"My phone is in Arvin's bag" replied the Son.

"But I didn't admit to it" Arvin defended.

"Don't waste it" said the Son.

The son approaches Arvin and again challenges him by pulling the apes in Arvin's uniform. The image instantly releases the Son's hand from Arvin and seeks to keep the Son away from Arvin.

"Don't be a vigilante dong" Citra said trying to divorce them both.

All the students who were around shouted to the Son to come back to beat Arvin. The cheer makes the mind of the Son more heated and the Son encourages the image that is considered to disturb him. The image of being in the middle of the Son and Arvin almost falls when the Son pushes him. Arvin swiftly pulled the hand of Citra so as not to fall to the floor.

"Thank You Vin" Citra said.

"Go, you're just a bully here" Arvin said as he removed his hand from Citra.

The Son's fingers were already clenched and as if they were preparing to hit Arvin again. The son moved forward quickly while raising his head-high hand to hit Arvin. Without a second thought Citra immediately advanced to the middle of Arvin and Putra to block the blow of the son. Arvin immediately stopped the hand of the Son who almost hit the head of Citra who tried to block.

"Are you crazy?" Ask Arvin.

Arvin was surprised because Citra wanted to block the blow of the Son who would hit him. The image instantly opened the hand that was protecting his head and opened the eyes that he had just closed when he ventured to block the blow. Gilang who was there immediately pulled Citra to the edge.

"You want to die?" Gilang.

Citra did not heed Gilang's question because Citra saw Arvin being beaten by the Son. I don't know what's on Arvin's mind that just stay quiet and not fight Gilang at all. Can't bear to see Arvin being constantly beaten, Citra immediately moved towards the Son.

"What do you want?" Ask Gilang while holding Citra's hand to forbid it.

"Mending don't!" Prevent Crossbreed.

"Please!" The rebellious image.

After escaping from Gilang's hands, Citra went straight to the middle of the Son and Arvin. Arvin was holding his head that had just been hit. The son prepares to hit Arvin again, but unexpectedly the punch hits Citra right on his head which makes Citra fall. The son was immediately shocked and moved backwards.

"Why are you there? I told you not to disturb! " Task the Son in annoyance.

"You're nothing at all? You're like a little boy, you know?" Citra said angrily while trying to stand up.

"He was wrong, he stole my phone and the evidence was in his bag" said Gilang who tried to defend.

"Do you know where Arvin's doing it from? if it was not his actions, but the actions of others" Citra said while enduring the pain of her head.

"I saw him fit for the first hour of the last break" said one of the friends in the class.

"Did you see Arvin put Son's phone in his bag? Were you here when the first break was over? What if someone else walks in in the middle of the first break and does the jail thing?" Ask Citra who challenged one of her friends.

"Lucky for you today, because there is an Image" said the Son as he pointed at Arvin.

The son immediately told all his friends to leave the class except Citra and Arvin who were still there. The image looked at Arvin and held the part of Arvin's face that was hit, but Arvin refused and brushed off Citra's hand.

"I believe you didn't do it" Citra said, looking at Arvin.

"I told you to get away from me" said Arvin.

"Why do you always talk like that?" Ask Citra who was already feeling tired with those words.

"This all happened because of you"

"What do you mean?" Ask Citra.

"Forget it, get away from me now" said Arvin.

Arvin walked to his desk to pick up the book while Citra was still there as if she could not believe Arvin's answer.

"So this is what I got after defending you earlier" Citra said as she faintly looked at Arvin.

"Did I tell you to help me?" Ask Arvin.

"At least you said thank you to me. Are you still angry with me because of yesterday? I've apologized to you" Citra said, beginning to ride.

"Are those two sentences useful?" Asked Arvin who underestimated the sentence Image.

"That's two of the most beautiful sentences. Thank you is a greeting when we are given help and forgiveness is a greeting when we do wrong" Citra said while turning her body towards Arvin.

"But that sentence changes nothing. Stay away from me because I don't need you" Arvin said.

Arvin put all the books in his bag, Arvin just brought one of his notebooks. Arvin closes his bag and walks out of class. The image head still hurts. The sound of agonizing moans from Citra made Arvin stop his steps and look towards Citra.

"The punch wasn't too loud, because I had pulled you back earlier so it only hit you a little bit" Arvin said as he walked over to Citra.

"Stop caring about me. Why is it that when I hate you you always show up and amaze me, but when I admire you you always show up and make me hate?" Citra said as she stared at Arvin.

Arvin was only speechless when Citra said that, there was no word Arvin wanted to say. The image began to be upset with Arvin's behavior, seen the face of Citra who was very angry when looking at Arvin.

"I'll stay away from you as you wish"

After saying that, Citra immediately left Arvin alone in class. Pain in the head of Citra seemed to disappear for a while because it was replaced by feelings of hatred and anger were very big to Arvin.
