Lara's Admirers

Episode 49's

"Kringg!!!"

The sound of that goddamn alarm woke me up from my subconscious. I immediately got up from my position, becoming a sitting position. I saw Stefani sleeping beside me.

I touched the small table next to my bed to find the source of the sound. I woke up, but my eyes were still open. I suck in mornings like this.

The alarm clock shows at half six. Damnit damnit! I was thirty minutes late than usual. With my life not yet fully accumulated, I tried to resist my drowsiness.

I immediately woke Stefani by shaking her body. I know he must be very tired because of last night. Actually I also did not have the heart to wake him, he looked so exhausted. But I would not have the heart anymore if he had to be punished for being late to class.

"Stef! Wake up!" I cried with a rather high tone.

After Stefani began to respond to my words, I immediately opened the window-shuttering curtain and let the sunlight through my room.

Stefani sat her body on the bed. Sometimes he looks rough rubbing his eyes. After feeling better, he immediately made up the bed with his own initiative.

With staggered steps I walked out towards Renata's room to take a bath. Sometimes I also rely on the wall as a guide when my view is not so clear.

Ever since Renata left, he left the keys to his room to me. I don't know what made him believe in me so much.

"Sister today I'll borrow your bathroom for a minute..." I murmured in my heart.

While Stefani was wearing my bathroom. It would take a lot of time if we used the same bathroom interchangeably. I remember being thirty minutes late. But I can't remember exactly how many times I've delayed the alarm.

***

Stefani and I did not have breakfast today. We had to catch a city bus early if we wanted to get to school on time. Usually when it is still morning like this, public transportation is not too crowded. So we could sit and not have to stand while jostling with others.

"Bi, we go first bi..." I said while tightening my shoelaces.

There is no truth I hear from within. Maybe my aunt is busy in the kitchen. Stefani and I decided to leave. We walked at a fast and wide pace, almost like running.

"The task is done?" I asked the girl.

Remembering first he often did assignments in school before class hours. If he is late like now and has not had time to do the task, it could be finished him.

We are waiting for the next bus that is coming soon at a stop near the complex. So there was actually still time for him to finish it if it wasn't finished yet.

"Udah dong..." Stefani answered confidently.

Since I often do tasks at empty hours, it turns out Stefani was also infected by me. We always work together when we do it.

Being in the top class brings a lot of positive influences to us. The occupants of this class were indeed different from the other classes. They spend free time with books or other things that are more useful. No wonder their abilities continue to grow over time.

Usually Stefani always sleeps in class at empty hours. To the point that I was confused who to chat with. Maybe this is why Stefani and I were put here. So that we can change in a better direction in the last school year. But I've never really been sure this place is worthy of someone like me.

***

As I thought before, the school must have been crowded. There were only fifteen minutes left before the first lesson began.

Because all the homework I can make sure is done, so is Stefani. Then we can walk more leisurely now. My leg felt like it was riding on the calf because of this morning. Running suddenly without warming up first seems to make my muscles become interested. But how could I possibly warm up in such a situation. Hh, you crazy bastard!

"To the canteen first?" Tawar Stefani's.

I just nodded in agreement with what he said just now. Maybe I will buy bread or something to prop up my stomach that has not been filled by food at all. I need to fill it with something, at least I have the energy to think.

"Bak, the chocolate bread is three packs." I said to the canteen guard I don't know.

This morning the one standing guard here is different not the usual one. So I don't know him.

"Buckoo! Lo laper or sha?" Cheers Stefani shocked.

"Both!" My reply was indifferent.

I immediately approached the available beverage cooler in every corner of this place. The cold chill that came out simultaneously when I opened the door, made me shiver for a moment. How not, while the morning dew has not completely disappeared. Mentari also has not fully revealed himself.

I looked around for a few drinks there. It is not good to drink soda early in the morning like this. I slightly bent my body to look at the bottom of the shelf. Thank goodness there were a few boxes of milk chocolate in there. I finally decided to take a box of milk and mineral water.

I regret being late like this. My pocket money runs out very quickly at a time like this. That's because I didn't get to do anything. Even breakfast and mineral water should be purchased. Though the gallons in the house are still full, my base!

"So, you guys are the same." I said as I put the drink on the cashier's desk.

"Indeed the belly of the fat lu sha!" Ejek Stefani's.

I didn't touch his words at all. I was arguing early in the morning like this.

"Twenty-five decks." Said the canteen keeper who had just finished counting my groceries.

With a heavy heart I immediately spend the right money to pay for it. Suddenly I remembered one thing that made me even more upset.

"Damn! I can forget to bring lunch for noon." My mind is in my heart.

I stood limp at the end of the table waiting for the unfinished Stefani. I checked my remaining money supply on a pass for today. I'm counting all my expenses today. Only twenty thousand more. Hopefully, it is still enough to buy rice packs for later in the afternoon.

"Yeah!"

Stefani said from behind, patting my shoulder gently. I confirmed his words to get to class immediately.

***

"But you guys came a long time ago!" The Clara protest was there before us.

"Why do you think we could go this long?" Reply with no spirit.

"We are late to wake up." Stefani Timpal.

I pulled my chair and sat down. As usual Arka, Adit and Titan are always together wherever they go. The two men sat at a table located to my left. While Arka was on her own stool and was highlighting me with her strange gaze (again).

I opened the sealed bottle of mineral water. Then drink it a few sips. There was still about ten minutes left before the class started.

"No more breakfast?" Ask Arka when I open the bread package.

I just shook my head slowly while continuing my activities. I finished the food while playing the phone regardless of the circumstances around me. I feel different lately.

"Sha, drink dong! My throat drags on." Stefani said from behind, patting my shoulder.

"No, it's a drink until noon." Ketus ku without a single turn of my face.

"It's my drink."

Suddenly the voice appeared just after I rejected Stefani's request. I turned my head to find the source of the sound. Both my eyeballs were perfectly rounded when they found out that the owner of the sound was a Titan. I almost choked.

While the figure being spoken to was just silently glued to look fixedly at the man. I know exactly how that girl feels right now. He must be feeling very happy and nervous. Realizing that, I tried to bridge the two of them.

"Drink now! It was fortunate that there were Titans who were kind, diligent, not arrogant and diligent in saving." I then gave the bottle to Stefani.

Stefani immediately gulped it down without a second thought. His throat needs first aid at this time.

"Thank you..." Stefani said with a stiff smile.

I smile at my friend who is so flowery now. He must be more excited when he learns later.

I immediately finished the rest of my food. Soon the bell will ring. After that I immediately threw the trash in the trash that has been provided.

The first lesson for today is Physics. Not a lesson I like. But as school is called, we have to learn everything. Whether we like it or not.

I took some books from my bag with the stationery I needed. Suddenly I stopped for a moment. Stuck in the same position, I suddenly became anxious. My face turned deathly pale, my hands were sweating coldly.

"Dead me!" My mind is in my heart.

"BAMM!"

I slammed my head on the table. How could I forget my physics book. I think I actually checked it last night. I grumbled annoyed at myself. Why have I become so lousy lately when it comes to remembering. I want to cry for my own stupidity.

"Why sha?" Ask Arka.

I raised my head with mixed feelings. I've resigned if I have to be punished for forgetting to bring a book.

"Why sha?" Ask Arka again.

I just shook weakly.

But it seems that it has not answered completely Arka's curiosity. He kept on highlighting me while trying to find out more. However Arka was a clever boy, his guess was always right. He's always lucky, always hockey, Goddess Fortuna loves this kid. That's why luck always sides with him.

"Where's your physics printbook?"

Arka finally realized that without needing me to tell her. He quickly found out if there was anything strange.

"Failed..." Reply resigned.

"Couldn't you? How about now? You will be punished."

"Tell me, that's the consequence. I'm wrong anyway, too late."

Slowly but surely, the class began to fill up. The screams of the atmosphere became silent for a moment as the sound of bells had echoed throughout the school.

I took a deep breath while trying to strengthen myself. If I dare to make a mistake, I must also dare to take responsibility. I closed my eyes firmly while waiting for the moment of my destruction. I will be humiliated in front of them.

"Good morning, kids!" Said Mrs Riri.

"Mother's...." Welcome the kids in class.

"Well now open your book page 28, we go into a new chapter!" Said Mrs Riri.

Before long the woman walked down the aisle with so much confidence. The sound of footsteps that were made from his high heels made me die of fear.

Suddenly Arka thrust her book right in front of me. I was surprised not to play to see the behavior of Arka who seemed so crazy.

I haven't had the chance to open my voice yet, the woman has arrived before us. Suddenly his steps stopped as he passed our table. There must have been something interesting to come here.

"Where's your book?" Ask the woman in a slightly high tone.

How is this, Arka is innocent. He shouldn't have accepted all this. I have to do something, but what.... Let's think!

Oi! He stole my answer!

"Now stand in front until the lesson time is over!" Shake the woman.

I looked at his back which was moving away from me. All eyes were on him. Why is that guy so stupid. I was also more stupid than him. I can't even do something that can give him a little defense. My tongue felt so bad at the time.

"All right now we begin the lesson for this new chapter."

I opened Arka's book violently. I was upset with him, upset with myself.

"Okay Jeffry, please read it out loud." Ms. Riri's orders.

"Other please read it." Further.

Now the whole class is seriously staring at the pages of their respective books. Usually this is always done before buying lessons. Maybe as a warm-up or as our focus coach. Read relay never absent in some subjects.

While everyone was trying to focus, I kept staring at the man from behind the book. I feel so guilty about him. I was in this room. But not with my mind.

I haven't been able to calm down lately. Every unfortunate event in my heart must always be a burden on my mind. Maybe I'm too tired to be emotionally unstable lately. I've been feeling more depressed lately.

I hope it doesn't have much effect on my values. This is my last year, I don't want to create any problems in my life. I just want this year to be an impressive last year for me.

The lesson went on so fast, with nothing left in my head. I really wasn't focused from the beginning of class. Today I feel really bad. Even from the beginning of opening my eyes this morning, I've been in trouble. I think I'm really stressed.

"Good kids, today's lesson is over. Please enjoy your rest. Everyone's afternoon!"

"Mr..."

I ruffled my hair that was messy even more messy. I tried as hard as I could to calm myself.

Arka came back from the front of the class with an expression I had a hard time guessing. While I myself do not know my own feelings.

"Next time don't forget to bring a book."

Arka started the conversation first. Why can he talk so casually at a time like this. He should be mad at me, I've been bothering him a lot all this time

"Thank you for the book." I said, returning her book.

I should have been there, not Arka. This kid's too stupid, sometimes I can't guess.

I immediately got out of my seat at that moment. Deliberately allowing his feet to climb onto my chair.

"Alikin your legs!" My orders.

"Huh? Make what?"

Without a second thought, I immediately raised the man's legs on my chair. His feet must have been very sore.

"Your feet should not be bent, later can varicose veins. Mending in straighten like gini."

"Do you know varicose veins?"

"Everyone knows that, too."

"Oh yeah? But I just found out. Where do you sit?"

"I'm going to the toilet."

"Bareng Stefani?"

"No, I can be alone."

I immediately left that place. Leaving those who were looking at me in wonder.

***

"Temenin gih your best friend!" Arka's orders to Stefani.

"Who are you? It's so good to mess with me!"

"Lo want your best friend why-why on the street?"

"Lo doain Eresha is that wretched? I swear there's no brains or anything!

"Eat it there!"

"Why don't you just go."

Instead of immediately catching up with the girl, they instead argued long. Arka knows that Eresha is not okay. That was why he had this stubborn girl accompany him. He did not want anything to happen to him, considering that Eresha was a reckless child.

"Basar is not very sensitive to be a friend! Try it you're not a girl, I've brought you gelud here!" Arka in his heart.

While Clara massaged her head that was not dizzy. These two people have never changed in the past. Can they just be more mature.

"Judah let me follow Eresha!"

Clara tried to mediate between the two of them.

"Gue's coming with you." Stefani.

"Not from that cake lo motion, let this child also move." Sindir Arka's.

Regardless of what the man said in the slightest, they headed straight for the female toilet. Eresha said she was going to that place.

But just after arriving there, no one was there. All the doors open, and all are empty. There was nobody in the sink either.

"Maybe Eresha's back in class."

Clara tried to think positively. It was possible that the girl had just finished using the toilet and was walking back to class. Clara immediately pulled the hand of her best friend to come with her.

Eresha should not have been too far away from this place. But during the journey, they did not see the stem of his nose at all. Again Clara tried to think positive, maybe Eresha had arrived in class first.

"Where's Eresha?" Ask Clara as she approaches Arka.

"I should be the same as you, where is Eresha?" Arka asked them both back.

"Didn't he come here?" Added Stefani.

"You ngaco huh? He's not here."

"really? We think he's back in class first." Clara.

"Yes, right. We went to put it in the toilet. But there's no one there." Added Stefani.

"Try me a phone call." Arka.

"Drrttt!!!"

Suddenly it sounded like the sound of a mobile phone vibrating slowly from under the drawer. That's right, it's Eresha's phone. Did he intentionally leave it here or how.

"We're looking for him, it's not okay anymore." Arka.

Arka can't stay still now. He had to intervene to find Eresha. They couldn't let the girl go when her emotions were unstable. It would be very dangerous for him.

"Wait on! Maybe Eresha just needs time to be alone. He needs a few minutes to isolate himself from his world." Prevent Clara.

"But usually Eresha behaves like this. He's always happy when there's a problem." Refute Stefani.

"Everybody needs time to make their own!" Clara Excited.

"I know Eresha better. I was with him long before you came!"

"Near does not mean you deserve to know all about him. Everyone has their own world that does not want to be disturbed by others."

"Whatever lo! Anyway, I'll follow Arka to find Eresha." Stefani Steady.

Clara let out a long sigh as she said, "Judah I'm with you guys. There's still fifteen more minutes before the bell comes in."

The three of them immediately took advantage of the rest of the time. The sooner they find the girl, the better.

***

After the incident in the toilet, I immediately ran to the UKS. Luckily I always carry a tissue with me wherever I go. I don't even know why I don't suddenly have another nosebleed. After all this time I didn't experience anything strange, now it's all happening again. My life is back to how it used to be.

"Excuse me..." I said on the doorstep of UKS.

"What happened to you?"

The UKS officer immediately led me to sit on the bed.

"Why did so much blood come out of your nose? Are you a nosebleed?"

"It seems so..."

"Alright lie down, let me clean up the rest of the blood."

I followed his orders immediately. No one can help me right now but him. Then the UKS officer came with a P3K box with him.

"Come, let me see your nose."

"Have the blood stopped?"

"It looks like it has, but you've lost a lot of blood for a nosebleed."

"Really?"

"Calm down, I'll handle this. You don't have to worry, just leave it to me."

I don't know why his words made me feel calmer. It was as if his words just now had a spell capable of hypnotizing me. Whether this is just a suggestion or not, but I feel very comfortable. I'm sure I'll be okay with him.
