Junna and Rhine

7-2

TENGS! TENGS! TENGS!

There were bells ringing that the test hour was over. Junna linked his ten fingers and raised his hand high to do the stretching. Finally, the week-long apocalypse Junna and her four friends were going through was over. Junna tidied up all of his stationery that he used for the exam and stuffed it into his pink backpack. He rushed to his four friends who were in a different room with him.

"Hey girls, how was the test?" Junna embraces her four best friends.

"Bad" said Cia uninspired.

"Gruesome!" Tia continued with a shout.

"Acute bad!" Riri patted his own eel.

"This is because we are far away from Junna anyway, so it is difficult to get an answer..," Lily explained with a heavy sigh.

"Not so many times," Junna grimaced. Actually he could not bear to see the expressions of his four best friends. But the words Rhine spoke affected him so much. If he does not let his four friends be independent, they will forever depend on him and vice versa. "The four of you have learned well."

"Stay still..," Whine Cia. "The taste of the pede is reduced, I can not imagine the results of its value like what..."

"Yes nothing like Cia," Junna patted Cia's back in encouragement. "Whatever happens the four of you will still be my best friend!"

"It's a yes, so Junna is given a god-level intelligence," Riri opened his voice. "It is certain to pass High School plus no need to think about the entrance test to the university again."

"That's because I'm learning, that's why you guys are learning right" Junna replied casually. "It's still not too late anyway, that little note I love is enough to represent all the material that was tested in the SPMB and you are just serious about studying it."

"Have you really talked about a little note, a single book of sugar cane you said a small note? Really, your brain is bad!" Tia ruffled her waist while lifting the small note Junna meant.

"Yeee.., for me that little note knows when compared by our actual textbooks. Her name is also a summary of lessons from class X to class XII," Junna said in self-defense. "Just the student! Because if the graduation announcement already exists I'm the same family I want a vacation to my Grandpa and Grandma. So yeah can't help you all to learn a group."

"What then?!" Said his four best friends compact. "Cheat!!"

"Enak is cheating, everything has been decided!" Junna embraces her four best friends. If you have said it anyway, the other words must have been all raw by Junna. Apparently his authoritarian nature is being crushed. "Hmm, by the way, how about we eat pizza at the Mall where Rhine was launching the album that time? We celebrate the end of our final exams. I'm the one who changed the deal because the last time you ate there your wallet was instantly thin..."

"Junna," The four companions looked at Junna with expectant eyes. "Lo is our best friend..."

"But, how do we make the impression?" Lily asked innocently. "We don't all have four-wheeled vehicles?"

"Udah ngangkot aja," replied Junna steady.

"Ah, you crazy! I can wear my clothes off if you're not, why a taxi?" Complain Tia. "Just take a taxi..."

"Yes, it's a bad style, isn't it?" Junna did not want to lose opinion with Tia. "The five of us are still pretty."

"Yes, Princess Junna." Tia sighed. He could not fight Junna if it was related to life. He who is a subsidiary of the largest publishing company in the city of TA used to live spoiled like a princess so he never had friends. Only Junna was willing to befriend him and teach him about how to live simply. But if you think about it, if you talk about material things, it is Junna who has more everything than she does. But Junna never showed it at all. Neither did his parents, for them happiness was not measured by matter. That was what amazed him on Junna's figure.

The five friends finally left using angkot. As Junna had guessed, along the way in the angkot to TA Mall, Tia continued to complain of heat while fanning her face with a plastic fan with a photo of Rhine as her model. Junna and her three friends could only smile with her attitude.

How is he doing huh? Since that incident I have not met him face to face.if I told him what would happen?

Tia who caught Junna's expression continued to stare at the giant television screen smiled wryly.

"Lo miss Rhine?" Tia asked suddenly which of course made Junna shocked to death. How could Tia know what was being thought

"Ah, uh, no, just plain," Junna tried to cover up what Tia had read. "The last time I saw him, he was a little moody..."

"Lo's worried about him, isn't he?" Tia asked back.

"Not really," Junna shrugged her shoulders.

"That's it, you can't cover it from me," Tia smiled as if she could read what Junna was thinking. "Umm.., what yes.., I feel I have to thank Rhine for changing your skepticism about guys."

"What do you mean? I don't understand?"

"In the past you always looked at men with Ega's point of view, everything was always Ega, I was worried you became too adoring Ega. If you can comment I have not liked the same Ega fitting so same lo! I was surprised how you can be the same person as Ega the type of safety player who always lives on the normal path and never dare to accept the challenge. Evidently he mutusin lo just because you feel you do not make his position safe again and prefer other girls. If I were lo, I would choose to be Rhine!"

"Lo crazy huh?" Junna was surprised by the words from Tia. "Seeing from the way I fit in with that narcissistic creature?"

"From all things..."

"Omong empty!" Junna shook her head and left Tia behind. He did not want to hear any more speculation that developed from Tia. He was afraid to know. Tia is very sensitive about her personal life. Indeed, he did not deny that he had fallen in love with Rhine and he could not escape again. But is it possible that he could be with Rhine? The Rhine is so secretive about her despite all this time they have always been intensely communicating. What Rhine knows is that she hates the Rhine. How can a snot kid like himself be with Rhine. The delusion was too cliche to sound. All he has to do is focus on his life. Graduated High School, studied medicine in accordance with his ideals to continue his footsteps as a doctor. He believes there will be another love for him, but it may not be like the love he has for the Rhine. A love that is passionate but unattainable. The man was too far away for him even though he was in front of him.

"Gue hope you don't escape Junna's own feelings," Tia embraced Junna's left hand. The two of them were one meter away from their other three friends.

"Gue never escaped Tia," Junna's gaze returned glaring. "Gue just be realistic."

"Gue was astonished huh, elo was stubbornly pardon-forgiveness," For the umpteenth time Tia could only sigh in response to the attitude of her best friend's stone head this one. "Or maybe you are afraid to fall in love again because of your disappointment that was broken by Ega?"

A question that hit the target made Junna pause for a moment. Is it true what Tia said? Are you afraid to fall in love again? Perhaps yes, even more so with Rhine, he was afraid that if he found that he was the one who loved more than the one he loved, he did not want to get sick for the second time as he experienced with Ega. If that happens he is worried that he cannot face everything and is destroyed. Because his feelings this time were deeper than the feelings he had for Ega.

"Lo seems to be starting to frown on her brain" Junna flicked Tia's forehead with the index finger of her right hand. "Gue wants to focus on my future first."

"Focusing on your future doesn't mean putting aside your feelings for Junna."

"Tia, I beg you to stop discussing that," Junna gave an emphasis to his voice. "If I fall in love with him, my love is impossible because he is a man who only cares for himself."

"June, Tia! The road, don't be long!" Shouted Cia who had arrived first in front of the Mall's main door with Lily and Riri. "Udah on hunger!"

"Yes!" Junna replied with a wave of hands. He ran away leaving Tia behind him. Tia could only shake her head. He hopes his best friend will be honest with himself and give his heart a chance for Rhine because he knows the man thinks Junna is special. If it wasn't special how could the man give his concert tickets to Junna and himself and his other companions for free and allow them to go to their backstage.
