INNOCENCE

Arrive

The next day, Sofia asked about Gary's message last night. I waited for a break and approached him.

"hi Gary, what did you say yesterday?" sofia asked when she was close enough to Gary's theme.

"no" Gary replied without looking.

Sofia translated Gary's response as a sentence, 'I don't want to talk to you'

"ohh.ok" replied Sofia who then returned to her seat and did her routine activities.

Gary did not look at Sofia at all.

One day, on learning Physics, they are given a group assignment by Deri's mother. Mother Deri determines the group based on their abilities. Gary and Sofia are a group.

"Do you want us to do our job or do it together?" sofia asked as she began to discuss.

"just whatever"

"yeah, we give the task to be quick" said Sofia decided. After saying so, Sofia immediately divided the task and did her part without paying attention. He was too busy working on the given problem until he heard Gary say, "we broke up".

"what?" Sofia did not hear it clearly until she asked for her certainty.

"we broke up" Gary said again.

"may not be discussed later" said Sofia who is not interested in discussing anything other than the Physics in front of her.

"now we're breaking up" Gary said again emphasizing what he said earlier.

"okay" Sofia replied briefly and resumed her activities.

Gary noticed Sofia's expression after saying so. But, there he found no expression of sadness or regret or annoyance. Sofia kept a flat expression as usual if she was studying. This upset Gary, he suspected that Sofia did not like him anymore so when he said he wanted to break up, Sofia assented quickly without asking why. Even Gary also thinks that Sofia is now liking someone else, and he suspects that the person is Dani.

The time for discussion is over and the hours of Physics learning are also over, the results of their discussion will be discussed the next day.

"Gary, please do this and explain answer number 5" Ms. Deri's command.

Gary did not go straight ahead, he looked confused. He pura looking for his book in a drawer, then in his bag.

"ohhhh! gary's book is here, ma'am. It means missing" Sofia said arriving. He knew that Gary must not have done his job, either because he forgot or because he did not understand. So, Sofia also worked on Gary's part and wrote it in an empty book. It's definitely not Gary's book.

Without saying anything, Gary immediately took his book from Sofia's desk and began to explain. In Sofia's answer, she also adds a detailed explanation so that when Deri's mother wants to ask, Gary can answer it correctly through Sofia's notes.

"Wahh! It seems that if Gary studied with Sofia, he could answer all of her questions correctly. Tomorrow tomorrow you're one more group huh" said Deri's mother.

Sofia and Gary were quite surprised. That means they will often be together in the future.

"great as well you are, bro" Yanto said to Gary on his way home from school.

"you're honest, who did that?" ask Berlin. They've known Gary for a long time and know for sure that Gary rarely does his job if he doesn't cheat.

"iya, who? but, earlier you could answer all of Deri's mother's questions, how could you?" ask Yanto again.

"it's none of your business, man" replied Gary.
