"You're great, how can you do this?"
Said the UKS officer while handling my wound.
"Haha... Everyone knew this too, and they would definitely do this while being in the same situation." I clearly.
"Not that, I mean that everyone is going to clog their nostrils like this when they have a nosebleed. But usually they just do it haphazardly. Unlike you, you really know how to stop bleeding for a while."
"Oh... That's why I learned it first. When I was in Junior High I joined a group of teenage red bars at my school."
"Ah, just deserve it..."
This is the new UKS officer. He was a medical student at one of the private campuses, now entering his sixth year as a student. His name if not wrong is Alhin, I often hear people say his name like that. He was very friendly to everyone.
He is currently looking for a side job. He works part-time as a UKS officer at our school. Alhin continued his life on campus until night.
"Do you want to go straight back to class?" Asked the woman while cleaning up the little mess she made.
"Maybe in a moment, can I rest here for a while?"
"Of course, why not. You also seem to need a lot of rest. You're exhausted, but not your body. Your mind is not okay."
I was surprised not to play when he told me that. Damnit damnit! How can he know my psychological condition. Is a doctor also studying the science of psychologists while studying like this.
"Everything is radiating from the light of your eyes." He said calmly.
He pulled a bench towards me. Alhin was sitting right next to me at that moment. He accompanied me during my time in the UKS. It just so happened that there were not many patients and it was just me.
"They say the eyes are the window to a person." He said while leaning his body towards me.
"Does anyone guess like that?"
"Not all of them, but there are some who are experts at it. Including yourself..."
"Me?"
Am I really what he meant?
"Of course, who am I talking to now."
"You know? Actually you're a great mind-reading girl. You can do more than I did." Further.
"Ah, really? But I never thought so."
"Well take a break here. Don't go back to the classroom just yet, it'll only make things worse for you now." His word.
He covered my feet with a blanket in this room. Actually the AC in this room makes me pretty cold. This is because the size of the room is too small compared to the class. So the temperature here is much cooler than in the classroom, even though they use the same temperature in each room.
Then he immediately got up from there and went back to his desk. He was seen compiling and recording some of the drugs that had just entered. He also cleaned the medicine cabinet, sorting out which drugs are still feasible and which drugs have expired. It seems like he is also talented to become an apothecary.
I felt my skirt pocket, hoping to get something from inside there. But what I'm looking for isn't there, and then where it is. I put it in my pocket before I left class.
"Where's my phone?" My mind is in my heart.
I try to remember what happened a while ago. Indeed I was the one who left it in the drawer or it fell while in the toilet. Fuck up! Why am I still relying on this lousy memory of mine. I should have relied on my intuition that seemed better than my brain.
But it seems to be left in the drawer. Die me! What if it's gone. Why am I so late. I patted my own seat, regretting my day full of misfortune.

"In the bathroom with there, in the cafeteria there is also no." Stefani said with a hunting breath.
They had been going around the school looking for the girl. He is not in the place he usually visits during rest hours like this.
"Ting.ting...ting..."
The bell sign that the break hour has finished sounding again. Requires all students to enter their respective classes immediately, because the next lesson hours will begin immediately.
"Maybe Eresha has already entered the classroom, mendingan us enter only yuk!" Take Stefani who is getting tired.
Arka nodded resignedly to the request of this girl. He walked in limp steps like an undead. This guy is almost desperate. He was upset with himself. In a place this small he did not manage to find the girl, what if it would be even worse than this.
Arka looked at the girl's cellphone which she was still holding from earlier. Now his mind was completely deadlocked. He doesn't know what else to do now.
"Would I call Brother Sendy? I kept telling him about this, who knows he can help." Mumam Arka slowly.
"Eh, please don't go first. I'm sure I can handle this alone." Further.
Arka followed the steps of the two girls who were walking in front of her. He remained in his daydream, talking to himself.
"Why the hell are you this bike the same as him!" The mind in the heart.
He immediately shifted his mind, as they were currently in class. All the disciples had entered, but not with the girl. Arka finds her two best friends sitting in her seat and Eresha.
"Ngapain lo on?" Ask Arka while ruffling her own hair.
"Who did you see what we were doing?" Adit asked back.
"Why is that up front?" Titan Timpal.
"It's okay, it's back to your habitat on, I want to sit!"
Without hesitation, Arka drove out her own best friend. Titan hisses fiercely against Arka.
They already considered this kind of thing as a guyonan. Their friendship that has been established since long ago makes the three already know each other.
"Where's Eresha not in yet? It was bel loh."
Eventually Adit realizes that something is wrong with the girl.
"You ah!" Reply Short arc.
Arka pushes Adit's body slowly, trying to pull the man out of his seat.
"Lo fought the same Eresha?" Ask Adit.
"I don't think it's dit." Connect Titan.
"I saw him walking towards the UKS. But a cave can't be mastiin if it's him." Connect Titan.
Arka's eyes immediately widened. So did the two girls sitting behind Arka.
"So seriously you see him?!" Ask Arka.
Titan nodded quickly.
"Kok you didn't tell us anyway!" Stefani.
"Where do I know that you guys are looking for him." Reply Titan tried to defend himself.
The confession he gave just now seemed to make his position now more cornered.
"If Eresha goes to the UKS, let's not let her do anything else." Inner Clara in the heart.
Clara didn't say that so blatantly. He didn't want to make Arka more anxious. He would have thought if something wrong had happened to the girl.
"Is he reckless anymore?" Tell the arcs carefully.
"So your mouth!" Ketus Stefani's.
"Udah, maybe he again yes. The proof is that he ran out of the toilet straight to the UKS, right?"
Clara tried to calm her friends. Although he knew exactly if not that right which actually happened to Eresha.
"It could be..." Reply Ark.
While the others also nodded in agreement with Clara's words. Actually what the girl said sounded so reasonable and quite convincing to them.

I lay myself on a UKS mattress, mat more precisely. Very bored to be here, I can only be pensive to see the ceiling of this all-white room. The woman is busy with her work. I can't ask him to talk right now.
"Can I go back to class?"
I finally got up the courage to open my voice. Alhin immediately turned his attention completely to me. He's coming to me right away.
"I'm tired of being here for a long time." My reply.
I really can't stand it. Even I can't play cell phones just to drive away my saturation. I hope someone finds my phone in the drawer and keeps it for me.
"All right, let me take you to your class. Let me clean up this mess for a second." His word.
I just nodded saying his words, trying to get up from my position at that time. Actually I feel bad if I have to trouble her like this. Moreover, he is busy now.
"Let me help you." He said as he reached my hand.
He really has a soul please help the high. Alhin deserves to be a doctor. I can feel if everything he did to me was truly sincere from his heart. Maybe he was right, I could read someone's mind much better than him. But not for now, maybe in my future.
Alhin took my body and took it out of the room. Not to forget he also locked the UKS for a while as long as he went with me. My body was actually still so weak as to just walk.
"Where's your classroom?" Ask Alhin to me.
I pointed my finger at the second floor. A class that looks striking from down here. I scrunched my forehead, up there too glare to be stared at with the naked eye.
"In that class? You're a student of the class?" Alhin asked me again.
I nodded feebly at the words of Alhin.
Damnit damnit! The sunlight this afternoon was so hot. At what time, I don't think it's entering noon yet. The heat was so intense, it made me like a vampire burning in the sun. It would be much better if I got out of this place sooner.
Suddenly our steps stopped in front of the stairs connecting the first floor with the second floor. I sipped my saliva with great difficulty. It felt like walking was almost making me die. Do I have to go up these stairs?
"You sure you can do this?"
"Come on, but it doesn't seem like it's gonna work."
"Sit down on these stairs. You need to gather enough energy to get up there."
I wiped the sweat dripping from my forehead and then down my face.
"I told you to rest for a while in the UKS." Further.
Is he really a human being or an angel that God sent to take care of me? I've never found a UKS officer as good as him. I don't know what his heart is made of. Whether from cotton to wound cleaning or something. He cares so much about me.
I hope he can work here longer. I think I'm gonna need it most of the time at school. Sometimes there are situations I can't guess before. Circumstances that forced me cunningly, rendered me weak helpless. Not infrequently I think if sementa wants to kill me slowly.
"Oh... Look now you're much paler!" Alhin cried while cupping both of my cheeks.
"You okay? Do you feel anything weird about you?" Further.
"Come on. Open with me. Tell me all your complaints so I can handle them properly. You have to be honest with me about your current condition." Alhin.
"I'm fine..." Reply with a soft voice.
"Have you ever experienced anything like this before?"
"That was a long time ago."
"What you're experiencing right now is not a mild illness that I'm used to in school cases. Honestly will keep you safe."
Alhin kept insisting, he tried to persuade me to tell him everything. But I don't know what to tell him.
"Can we continue on our journey? The sooner I get to class the better." My answer.
Alhin let out a heavy sigh, he again helped me to get up and stand up. He's really patient, it looks like I've gone too far. I should have turned down his offer earlier, I could have returned myself to class. I must have troubled him so much and made his work become neglected.
We immediately went on a short journey, but this time it felt very far away to me. It was too heavy for me to reach that place. If only in this building provided an elevator, it would be easier for me.
Just getting on two flights of stairs, suddenly the thing I hated came back to pick me up. He brought me back to play after a long time I never visited. Suddenly my body just collapsed. Lucky Alhin immediately caught my frail body.
I hate this phase, you set me up!
Again the dark black world of eternal night pulled me to go with it. He took my soul to go around the place again. What a boring place! I hate this thing! There is no light here that can accompany me. Maybe this place actually has a sun, it's just that it can't be seen because the dark has captured the light. Now the sun is also jet black, dark like his world. Why should there be black, if white is pleasing.

Teaching and learning in the classroom is as usual. Although there are some of them whose minds are not in this room. Including Arka and the others.
Titan is always one step ahead of his mind compared to Adit. How not, this child can always look for opportunities in narrowness. This man immediately moved quickly when he found out that Eresha was not in class for this time. Quickly he immediately filled the empty seat, he always took advantage of the situation around him.
Who does not know Arka. A man who is too difficult to be friends with many people. Everyone acknowledges his intelligence, even his leadership. He won the provincial Olympics with other candidates last year. Don't forget, Arka is also the captain of school basketball. Although now he has not served in that position anymore, because it has been replaced by his underclassman.
Titan takes advantage of this situation just as Indonesia uses vacum of power during the Japanese colonial period. He liberated himself by utilizing the intelligence of Arka in the field of mathematics. Titan will survive this deadly lesson as long as he is always on his side. Even he was willing to leave Adit alone there without knowing how his fate would be.
Sometimes we have to be selfish in our learning. Competition gets tougher as time goes on. Selfishness is indeed dominated by students in this class. If they want to stay and win this competition at the end, that's what they have to do.
Although they can be said to be a little selfish, but these children still maintain their self-esteem. None of them have ever cheated while here, all done sportsmanship.
"Can you borrow lo's bow?" Titan whispers to a girl sitting behind him.
"Here, take it next time." Reply Stefani while giving the semicircular shaped object.
Stefani squeezes her own skirt strong. He tried to look mediocre even though he actually wanted to scream right then and there. What dreams did he have yesterday, to the point that it could be this close to the man.
His heart beat was racing, getting uncontrollable. He could even hear his own heartbeat. He hoped that the man would not realize this. Stefani still refuses to admit everything. It's too early for him, he needs some more evidence. Sufficient evidence convinced him that he was truly in love with this man.
Stefani is still very public, he is afraid of the risks. He does not want to feel heartache. That's why Stefani's never been in love before, she doesn't believe in it. To this day the universe has made him die a flea.
Stefani is still Stefani. He is too afraid that his relationship will run aground for no reason, just like his best friend. Dating always ends with a break up. Either it had to break up because of the breakup or because of the marriage.
Love is basically like that too. Love and heartbreak are a unity that is not separated. There will always be disappointment and hate behind the beauty of love. Depends on how well we can control those feelings of hate to end in regret. It all comes back to each of us. We are the ones in control of ourselves.
"Well please enjoy your rest hours, our lesson continues after entering later." The woman said from the front of the class.
The middle-aged woman was in control of this class for the next two hours. After he went out of class, then the students dare to move from their respective tables. The kids in this class are almost perfect. In addition to their reliable brain content, their manners are also much better than other classes. Never once did one of them who defied the teacher during school here.
Arka immediately pocketed the girl's phone, which had suddenly disappeared since this morning. While Eresha's own goods still remain in place, not touched at all by the owner.
"Where are you going?" Asked Adit who was suddenly already beside him.
"Ngagetin is lo! Very habit!" Jerky Arka.
Almost the heart of the man wants to be dislodged. I don't know why Adit has always liked to behave like this. He always appears suddenly like a jump scare in horror movies. But that's not Adit's main goal. He just wants to approach his best friend and his best friend who could leave him alone there. Adit and Titan are indeed classified as students who are rather weak in the field of calculation or calculation.
"Gue check Eresha first in the UKS, who knows she is indeed there again." Arka.
"Gue's coming!" Clara Excited.
"Judah whatever, you don't come!" Said Arka to Stefani in a slightly high tone.
"Not to be so dong!"
"This means you're not coming?"
"No, I'm just here waiting to hear from you. Pegel tau up and down the mulu stairs from earlier." Stefani complained while massaging her legs.
"If you don't want to be tired, just jump from the corridor so that it goes directly to the bottom."
"Lo first, as a guinea pig first. Just finished it's me..."
While the others could only shake his head. They could not think of these two who were his best friends. Are they not tired of constantly arguing about small things like this.
It seems they are more suitable to enter the IPS department, these two people have entered the wrong department from the beginning of their first year of attending school here. Their pent-up talents are always honed every day, the more convincing Adit and his friends.
The debating skills they have today will be much more useful in that department. The teachers will be able to direct them to become a lawyer. Adit and his two friends are convinced that they will always win the trial later with this skill.
"Cric.crik..."
Adit tried to break the silence of the atmosphere at that moment. After content to argue, the two children finally shut up. They have run out of ammunition to attack their opponents, currently Arka and Stefani series.
"Are you tired or finished?" Syndical Titan.
Arka then threw her deathly gaze at the obnoxious man. He might even heat himself up at such a time. But Titan seems ordinary to respond to Arka's sharp glare to him. That doesn't mean anything to him.
"So no nih nyusulin Eresha, rush in." Clara.
"Yes be, yuk hunt." Reply Ark.
