If I Could Dream
CHAPTER 7 - Good, Can PDKT
El turned his head as soon as Karin closed the classroom door. The girl walked slylyly beside him with the same tired face, which El saw as she daydreamed while scribbling behind the book.
“Punished both deh.” It was a miracle from where Karin opened the conversation first. Did El ever save the world unknowingly?
“El is done?” Was he just asked?
“English? Udah.”
“Sama dong.”
“Means we planga-plongo doang here until home.” Chirps El, do not know that such a thing actually makes Karin chuckle.
Unknowingly, El scratched his non-itchy ear. Look around, that chick is still as cute as it was two years ago.
From the door of another class, Mr. Budiono came out diekori Timo with a laptop and a cas cable filled his hand.
Sontak El and Karin made a distance, bowing politely as the men passed them.
“Eehh you guys, just entered school already shy me 'ja!"
Mr. Budi breathed a dramatic sigh. As the homeroom teacher, she is unable to see El making an apologetic gesture and Karin forming peace.
“Whose lesson now?” Ask.
“Miss Jinny, Sir.”
“Ooh pantesan..” No wonder the name was called. Since four years of teaching at Panjalu High School, Miss Jinny is quite famous for punishing students. “Ya already, go for it. Pretty ‘kan El? Can PDKT same Karin.”
“Mistaken, Sir.” Timo.
“Oh yes. CLBK I mean.”
Casually, Pak Budi passed with Timo who giggled amusedly. The two men peeked briefly over the wall before descending the stairs.
Karin hissing. Not long after, a vibration was felt from behind the pocket of El's pants.
“OSIS?” Mumbled.
As soon as he checked Whatsapp, he was glued to see a photo between himself and Karin sent to the group. Under him, Timo wrote ‘cieee’ with many colorful heart emoticons.
Just as Gabriel was about to type in a reply, Timo immediately drew a message.
Timo: sorry salkir guys WKWKWK
El hung up his phone.
“Why El?”
“Rapat.” There's no way El told Karin that Timo secretly photographed them and shared them with the groupchat OSIS. It could be getting awkward their relationship later.
He's not lying, anyway. Today there is an OSIS meeting.
“Definitely about next month's event," guess Karin.
“True." El smiled wrongly. Apparently Karin still remembered his schedule. "Right.and wrong."
“What we discussed about next month's event and two months' event."
“Two projects at once?!”
El nodded. Since becoming an OSIS Core, he has been much busier than the activities of high school students in general.
Karin remembers once–especially at the beginning of the pandemic and they are still dating. El rarely, never even contacted him because of meetings, meetings, and meetings discussing the work program of OSIS.
It just discussed, not yet execution. How did the day of execution come? Do not expect that day to be leha-leha with a big smile.
The day of execution was much more exhausting. El and his OSIS friends must brainstorm, pacing here and there, documentation, recording, selling for OSIS income, not to mention having to divide the time to do schoolwork, and others.
Super duper is busy.
Until I forget that there is someone waiting for news every night, before going to bed.
Hm...
If you remember that day again, Karin thought it was only natural that El disconnected her. Indeed, who would think of dating if there is something more important, fun, and profitable for yourself? El can develop himself, make his CV more attractive for SNMPTN list, and get a very good and broad relationship.
All of that was the advantage that El got when he released her, a standard knowledgeable midget girl who only had painting skills. His friend was-that's it, can not be said a good relationship and can not also be said to be ugly. Standardised. Karin knew enough to be with a guy as great as Gabriel.
Oh, why would he even think of going with El? Can't he fail to move on?
“Karin?”
“Hah? Yes?” Karin immediately realized from her creepy daydream. “Iya? Why El? By the way spirit yes OSISnya, surely will be tired–”
El pulls his hand suddenly, freezing Karin as the guy touches his reddened thumb.
Then press it hard.
"ouch!"
“Sick?”
“Sick.” Karin nodded. Just realized that the outermost layer of the foreskin has been scuffed. “Nng... It seems that it should be cleaned using–HAHHH! What are you!!”
Almost Karin's spirit floated up when El found out to suck her thumb. Slapped him many times until his hand was released, making El complain of pain along with the ringing bell home from school.
Finally Karin's thumbs free from the snare of El's mouth, but her saliva that smeared the skin made the girl goosebumps.
“IIIHHHH EL JOROK!!!"
Quickly he fled to the woman's toilet to clean his thumb from the slime of El's sins. It did not matter that the man shouted to his name with a flushed face and shattered self-esteem, with Miss Jinny looking at him sharply at the doorstep of the classroom.
El bowed politely to Miss Jinny, then turned his face away from the class children.
I am why the hell?!
