"Okay kids, we've had a meeting today. For assignments, work on the problem from the package book page 91, write the answer only in the notebook. Collected at the next meeting. Have a break."

After saying that sentence, the male teacher who taught the maths lesson immediately walked away from the class accompanied by complaints from the class students.

However, the complaint did not last long, as the sound of a break-sign bell was heard. Instantly a sigh of relief and a happy cry sounded in the corner of the classroom, not forgetting the squealing sound between the legs of the chair and the floor sounded alternately, making the already noisy atmosphere become increasingly noisy.

Fara stared lazily at the book in front of her. Soon Fara cleaned up her study equipment. In his hand was now a maths package book ready to fit into his backpack. Sometimes Fara thought, why is he required to count and understand all this? For Fara if you know the sequence of numbers and can do the addition and subtraction is enough. After all, if you think about something he did this will not have an important effect on Fara's life in the future. Wrong, too arrogant if you consider something is not important at all. It might have an effect on his future life, but only a little. Very few. Fara guarantee it.

"Fara, let's go to the cafeteria!" Nova stood up, her body facing to the side, her gaze down to look at Fara.

Fara looked at Nova's shining eyes implying hope.

"Lazy," Fara answered and closed her eyes to try to sleep.

Inexhaustible, Nova immediately said words that would surely be approved by Fara. "I treat!"

Fara raised her head that had originally fallen on the table, her eyes instantly opened, a faint smile Fara gave to Nova. Fara stood up, then walked away from Nova who was still busy looking for something in her backpack.

"Fara wait!" Nova slightly shouted, as the distance standing was currently quite far with Fara.

Fara who was already outside the classroom heard Nova's loud voice. Fara says she's waiting for Nova. Her body she sank on the wall with her eyes staring at the people in the corridor in front of her class.

Nova is still busy looking for a wallet in a backpack. He was a little worried if Fara wasn't waiting for him. Nova is upset that her purse is not in the bag. Her tiny body. Suddenly his left hand found something protruding in the upper left thigh. Nova reached into her skirt pocket and found her purse there. Soon Nova spurred on her steps to leave the classroom. Nova smiled happily when he found Fara sitting on a long bench on the edge of the corridor.

"Fara, come!" Nova took Fara's free right hand, because at that time Fara's left hand was being used to cover her evaporating mouth.

Like a pet invited by his employer to walk out—Fara according to him— when his hand was pulled away from the class.

***

Fara and Nova have arrived at the canteen.

Crowded.

Heat.

Fara doesn't like it.

However, he should not waste this opportunity; eat and drink without going out of money. Especially those who treat Nova, the son of a rich man. Makes Fara nothing to worry about. They will not fall poor just because their children treat Fara to eat. Say it excessively, but that is the reality.

Today is Fara's lucky day.

In the midst of the crowded canteen like this, Fara found a bench that was still empty, as if the bench was there just to wait for Fara to wear it.

Fara pulls Nova's hand to follow her to the bench.

When they arrived, they sat down immediately.

"What do you want? I ordered it." Nova stood up from his sitting position, looking ready to take orders from Fara.

Fara looked at Nova. "I'm the one who bought it, here's the money." Fara who still knew herself immediately thrust her right hand at Nova.

Nova stared at Fara's hand that was floating in the air. Nova confirmed his half-standing position to be seated. His right hand reached into the pocket of the left skirt, issued a small white wallet shaped cat character. Nova took a sheet there.

Fara saw that her originally empty palm was suddenly decorated with something thin and blue. Fara smiled, just as Fara put the money in the uniform pocket on the left.

The sound of plastic chairs colliding with the ceramic floor was heard because of the movement of Fara from a sitting position to a standing position.

Fara turned her body to the right, ready to leave Nova. However, just one step Fara realized something. Fara turned her head to Nova, who seemed to be busy with her cell phone.

"Nova, what did you order?"

***

Both Fara's hands were busy carrying trays containing various kinds of food belonging to her and Nova's. A challenge for Fara to make two glasses of sweet iced tea and one bowl of meatballs is not spilled.

Fara cursed as someone nudged her right shoulder. "Damn!"

Fara glanced at the bed on the right arm of the perpetrator who nudged her shoulder. Fortunately, the food and drinks do not spill, if spilled Fara will ask to buy a new one. No matter if the perpetrator has repeatedly apologized. Responsibility for the mistakes made must be.

The bed on the upper right arm is written with the Roman numeral 10. Fara smiled cynically. Fara looked at the face of the woman in front of her. His face he made as bad as he could. Fara saw the woman who was misbehaving and repeatedly said the word 'sorry'. Fara, who had no intention of responding to the woman's words, passed immediately.

Nova immediately put her phone in the pocket of the right skirt after her eyes saw a bowl of meatballs and a glass of iced tea presented before her.

"Thank you, Fara." A sweet smile was placed on Nova's beautiful face.

Fara nodded as her hand thrust the change to Nova.

Nova, still smiling sweetly, took the money that Fara had given him, and kept it in his uniform pocket.

Fara was suddenly curious.

Why Nova who is beautiful, good waranya and smart brain and many of his treasures just want to be friends with Fara who is an ordinary society. Really ordinary.

"Nova, why do you want to be friends with me?" Fara asked to express her curiosity.

Nova who heard the question was a little surprised. A second later Nova understood Fara's intention of asking that question.

"Why? Can't you?" Nova's right hand feeds half an iris of meatballs into her mouth, then chews them.

Fara raised next to her eyebrows when she heard Nova's answer to her question.

"Just be curious" replied Fara Cuek. Fara sniffed her shoulders, then put the batagor into her wide-open mouth.

Nova smiled faintly. "That is what it is, everything is never made up. Your words are always frank. Yes, even though his directness sometimes makes heartache."

Nova stirred up her meat sauce. His mind was laughing, remembering Fara's behavior for one year became his friend.

"Oh." Fara who did not expect that Nova's answer like that could only nod her head while continuing to eat.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Fara who could not start a conversation could only be silent, her mouth was busy chewing on the bright moon mini chocolate flavor and her favorite nuts. While Nova who usually enliven the atmosphere can also only stay still while continuing to eat meatballs that have not been exhausted since. Nova was a little embarrassed by his recent confession, let alone Fara's usual response when Nova said that complimentary sentence.

The long silence ended because Nova suddenly made a sound.

"Rafi shot me" Nova told Fara.

"Rafi? Who?"

Fara was not surprised, for him this was common. There have been many who expressed feelings to Nova, not infrequently he was made an intermediary between them. Fara did not take too much dizziness. Depending on her mood, if Fara wants to do it then she will do it and if Fara does not want to do the request then Fara will refuse.

"Captain exkul futsal." Nova was sucking on her sweet iced tea.

I'm nodding. "Continue?"

"I refuse." Nova looked at Fara seriously.

"Why? In such a bad way?" reply Fara slightly teases Nova.

Nova is beautiful, supported also by her smiling, friendly, and kind personality. If walking next to her, Fara felt like a royal princess' bodyguard. According to Fara Nova's face was in the category of beautiful cute with monolid eyes and white skin typical of the Chinese. Fara's only advantage over Nova is her height. Nova is relatively short for the size of a 2nd grade High School child.

Nova's serious facial wrinkle turned to a lame. "No, not even handsome. Lazy, do not know each other, continue to suddenly shoot, it is strange. It's even weird that I've got him."

Fara just kept quiet while sucking her iced tea until it was gone. Although it looks not care Fara actually listened.

Nova is not hurt because of Fara's nature, she is used to it and Nova knows Fara is actually listening.

"Fara, I'm done. Let's go back to class." Nova who was already standing, looked at Fara.

Fara was stuffing the remaining ice cubes that had yet to melt into her mouth.

Nova looked at Fara who was chewing on ice cubes. "Fara, it's raw water."

Fara who saw Nova was standing right away stood up. His right hand he lifted, then Fara gave a thumbs up to respond to Nova's words.

Nova immediately pulled Fara's left hand, then took her to leave the canteen.
