LIKE I CAN'T SEE

CHAPTER 18 IS BACK TO SEE YOU

The next day. The sun still looks embarrassed to show its light. This morning is the beginning of the first semester in second grade. Jovan was neatly combing his hair early in the morning.

I used to wear a perfume that I bought a few days ago. The tattered camping bag that he used to use is now gone.

Since her mother worked at Jessy's house and Jovan's school fees on scholarship, their economy gradually began to improve.

Although the economic situation is not as bad as before but people will still look at them the same. Still as if invisible.

And also friends at school. Only Dodi wants to be his friend. Others just look down on being the child of a scholarship recipient who is not equal to them.

Jovan said goodbye to her mother and then went to school. He rode his bike slowly. Trying not to sweat a lot will make the uniform wet.

"Hey, tumben left earlier than usual", said Dodi his best friend.

"Well, it's only been five minutes" replied Jovan. Both are happy to joke. And throw jokes at each other.

Arriving at school. Many children leave earlier than usual. They were fighting over the seats based on his wishes.

All eyes were on the couple who came by riding in the same car entering the schoolyard. Many women were screaming as if they knew who was coming.

Yes, Bagas though evil in character but he has a handsome face. And it became the center of attention of the women. Moreover, he came from a rich family. Adding a plus in him for grabs.

But immediately they fell silent as Bagas opened the door to someone beside him. Many women wonder who Bagas left with.

"What a beauty" said one of the students.

All eyes looked at him. Bak sees a rising school idol. "They're very compatible. One is handsome the other is beautiful", said the other.

Jovan was sitting there reading. Instantly joined in the time crowd who were conversing praising the beauty in plain sight.

"Jo, you see who's coming. Reportedly she's a Bagas girl from London" Dodi told Jovan.

Jovan just shut up after seeing that Jessy. Jessy's best friend is with Bagas. This was not what he wanted to see and hear the first day he entered.

He doesn't want to see Jessy much longer. Because until now Jessy did not meet him or just go to him.

Conscious Jo, aware. We are different worlds. And forever will remain unequal and can be equal to it. He said as he pinched both of his cheeks.

"You why Jo?", asked Dodi who saw the strangeness of his best friend.

"No papa. Let's go to class", take her. Then go first and follow Dodi behind him.

In the classroom Jovan kept quiet. Dodi, who sees her best friend as usual, is suspicious. "You why the hell Jo? Just shut up. Don't you want to share a story with me?", she asked.

"I actually knew the girl".

"Who? Who was with Bagas?", asked Dodi increasingly curious.

"Yes her name is Jessy. He was my first class brother. But suddenly moving to London with his papa".

"Then why did you avoid it and not greet it?".

"It seems like he's forgotten about me. In fact he just left and came back without giving me any news".

The two talked for a long time, suddenly the walikelas came into the classroom. Introduce yourself to your students. "Hallo kids. Introduce me your new Ms. Wati walikelas. Welcome to class 2B. Hopefully you can carve the achievement well in the future".

All students answered. Then proceed with the division of class management. Where the walikelas appointed Jovan as class president.

But only Dodi would agree. Other friends have no choice. And just choose a blank paper aka golput.

Having only one vote, the final legate of the wellders kept Jovan as their class president. It's not without reason. All based on consideration. One of them Jovan has above average achievements from first grade.

A few hours went well. The break hour arrived. Dodi intends to buy Jovan today. Because today is his birthday.

"Jo, you can order anything today. Let me pay later" said Dodi.

Jovan and Dodi leave for the school cafeteria. When he was about to order a drink, Jovan passed by Jessy. But Jovan just smiled at him and left.

"Sister, Brother Jovan!", call Jessy. But Jovan has not yet retorted. Jessy's hand was already drawn by Bagas.

"Hey, have you ordered the meal?", asked Bagas to Jessy.

Jessy just nodded then followed where Bagas took her to sit. Jessy's views continue to point to Jovan. Like saying something.

In elementary school, he had a hiding place that no one else knew about. But if in junior high school, all the things Jessy did were known by Bagas.

Because Jessy's mother left Jessy to Bagas. Ask Bagas to look after Jessy at school. And wherever Jessy goes Bagas always follows.

"In, we eat it just take it to class. I ordered a snack" said Jovan. He did not want to be seen by Jessy was there long.

Dodi finally agreed. "Would you like to order a snack?", asked Dodi to make sure.

Jovan nodded. Then they took some snacks and paid for them and left.

Jessy still keeps watching Jovan go. He knew maybe Jovan was disappointed in him. "Let's eat why silence?", asked Bagas to Jessy.

Jessy then ate the food she had ordered. Bagas kept asking her to talk and tell stories. But Jessy can't catch Bagas' story. Because he can't focus. In his brain just think of Jovan.

"Go back to school and accompany me to play basketball!", ask Bagas.

"Jess, are you against me?".

"Eh yes. Later yes. Okay I'll accompany you".

Bagas accidentally brings Jessy to the basketball game later. Because by chance Bagas' class was competing against Jovan's. Bagas wants everyone to know that Jessy is just his. Although there is no bond between the two.

Bagas doesn't care. Both her parents agreed they were united. Connect more than just friends.

Bagas happy . Jessy will accompany him. That way everyone would know the relationship between the two was as close as anything. He smiles to himself. Full of joy in his heart.

"Gas, what's wrong with you? But it wasn't until late in the afternoon, did it?", asked Jessy.

"It wasn't until late afternoon. I'll call Aunt Eva first" she said. Makes Jessy calm.
