LOVE AND SELFISHNESS

PART 2

Erika was still in bed wrapped in a blanket thinking about what happened yesterday when she returned from the roof. The soft taste of Yagami's lips still imprinted on Erika's memory. It feels like he turned the clock so that the incident does not happen again.

Suddenly, there was a call from his mother.

"Erika, there's your friend up ahead. He said he wanted to pick you up" cried Erika's mother.

With a sense of annoyance, Erika stepped foot into the living room. And it turns out that the friend her mother meant was Mika, her neighbor.

Mika is the only girl who doesn't care about how she gets along. He hung out with young men and women even with adults. However, Erika sometimes sees him as the wrong person to choose the association. He often advised her, but Mika remained in her stance. In fact, Erika who was always considered strange.

Erika did not care about Mika's response. For him, hanging out with a lot of people will only hurt you. They pretend well in front, and after that they will stab from behind. That was Erika's view of making friends, let alone male friends.

"Hi, Erika. There's free time now, isn't there? I want to take you to karaoke with a classmate" Mika said as she expressed her purpose. Dam that makes Erika so upset. Karaoke is the place she hates the most. In his view, karaoke would spend the vote aimlessly and profit from it. Too long inside will only make your voice hoarse.

"I'm busy, you go" Erika replied briefly.

"I don't want to advise Mika now, she will get angry with me instead" Erika thought as she frowned with one of her eyebrows raised.

"Well, what a pity. Though the head of OSIS asked me to pick you up. Yes, I'm going first," replied Mika parting while walking out the porch and riding her motorcycle seat and speeding towards the karaoke place.

"Once again the head of the OSIS wants to disturb my peace. She had started moving beyond my expectations" Erika thought as she closed the door and walked into her room reading a book and playing a game and watching her favorite anime. For him, watching anime was one of his most beautiful worlds. He does not care how much time is used to watch it, because anime gives more life lessons than going out with friends.

The next day.....

"Erika, let's go to school together. Me and friends will be waiting for you in front of the bookstore across the street," Mika waved to Erika.

"No, you go first! You see, I won't pass by on that road" Erika replied as usual with her jutek tone and flat face without a smile there.

Erika was always surprised to see those who always went in groups. Shopping for a book is always crowded. Though in Erika's view, doing all things by yourself will run smoothly without any obstacles. Grouping will only be a waste of time. Which is obviously more fun for the little girl.

Arriving at school....

"Erika, you can join as a member of my gang. Right now our group is only four people and I need one more person," one of the gang leader girls in his class. Erika just silently looked at the girl named Kayo with blond hair, with smooth white skin, 170 cm tall. She is also one of the girls in school.

Don't go into the gang, Erika's friends don't believe it. According to Erika, groups or gangs are only initially fun. In the end they will fight if their opinions do not match the other members. Especially if his opinion is not included as the advice and goals of its members. And.that's for sure they'll disperse. That was Erika's belief as an introverted girl. For him, the children only did the futile things in his life in groups. Moreover, one of the group acts as its chairman. And Erika doesn't like the one called the chief the most. Because, the chairman will only use his members without thinking about the harm he has done to them. He made great use of his position.

"I'm sorry, I can't" Erika replied firmly. The girl widened her fake smile.

"I don't want to waste my precious time just in groups" Erika murmured as she rose from her seat to the school roof. There is the last place of seclusion for him if he feels that there is beginning to interfere.

"Running away again?"

Erika was stunned, then turned her head to the left and right. But no one there caught his eye. He began to fret, because his place of exile was already a bully again.

"I am above you, above your head" said the voice again. Erika raised her head, and sure enough, the bullies of the OSIS chief were lying there.

"I don't understand what you said just now, run away?" ketus Erika with a tone and voice cynical and irritated.

"One day you'll understand what I'm saying. But in my opinion, not everything you can do by yourself. There will come a time when you will need help from others. Because we are basically social beings. But, if you stick to your stance, yes, whatever," explained the OSIS chairman casually lying down with his head resting both hands while smiling at the sky.

"He's kind of admonishing again, I'm tired of seeing him," cetus Erika in his heart while rising from his seat with the intention of moving places so as not to be close to the bully who is none other than Yagami the chairman of OSIS.

"Yes, whatever I am, my life is my life. The one who can determine everything is myself," Erika replied with a very serious glare. Yagami just stumbled. "Once again, he threw away his smile with the person he had not known. I can't believe the smiles of people I don't know yet. All phony. Especially if the smile comes from the closest people who claim to be friends, friends, and others. A smile is like a rotten apple next door. The depan alone is sweet, but the fitting behind it turns out that there is a rotten one," thought Erika with a serious face. Which was suddenly startled by Yagami who was laughing.

"I don't understand that bully. Why is he laughing at me? Fuck, weird. He doesn't even know that laughing excessively at something that is not clear can make the brain nerves tired and cause headaches that lead to stress" murmured Erika with a silly view.

That's Erika's view. I don't know, this is him with all his beliefs who doesn't believe in everything in this world.

Erika looked at Yagami's face which was still chuckling with a head shake, occasionally glancing at Erika.

"Know no, you are a strange rare human being, hahaha," Yagami said.

"Good then, that means I'm not a mainstream human being in general," Erika replied with her sword not to be outdone.

"I don't understand her way of thinking" Erika murmured inwardly. He doesn't care, obviously he does what he thinks is right. Nor does he care about what people around him say about him and just think of him as the wind.

"Huahahaha, that's it. I can no longer help but laugh from hearing your opinion," said Yagami chuckling as he held his stomach holding in laughter. His face turned red and there was a water on the tip of his eyelids from laughing too much. In Erika's eyes, the strange thing was not her, but Yagami. Because laughing at someone's opinions and behavior without being clear.

Erika's blood started to heat up. He immediately leaves Yagami on the roof and returns to class in annoyance. The thought of avoiding trouble with the bully instead finds Mika grieving in class.

"Why are you so sad?" erika asked patting Mika on the shoulder.

"I was not invited by my gang friends to go shopping at Moll because my spending money is not enough," Mika replied still with a sad face hook.

"No, right. Therefore, do not believe too much in the name of friends. Moreover, gang friends, just such a small thing they have left you, what if the big thing?" erika said with the intention of advising. But, Mika's face showed an unhappy expression.

"What do I need to do? Hitting you? You just don't like to be friends," Mika snapped with her cynical look. And that was the thing Erika hated the most when giving advice to others. Not getting a word of love, even scorned.

"My advice, don't be friends. Just be yourself. It would be more fun, than having a lot of friends but fake," Erika continued.

"No, aah. I don't agree with you. Because, no matter how great I am, I still need someone else to help me someday. Remember, we have flaws. By making friends, even getting married though, we can share and complete each other's advantages and disadvantages" Mika replied.

In Erika's eyes, Mika pretended to be advising, even though she had just been used by her own friend. He said friends, or friends complement each other's shortcomings, when in reality only yourself can solve everything. He said friends, there are times of joy and sorrow, but those are just words of encouragement for someone to have friends. The proof is that many leave their friends alone when they are in trouble. For Erika, a friend in the real world, it only exists at the moment of liking and will disappear in grief.

"Hahaha, complementing each other you say? If friends think you like that, then why don't they complete your money so they can go shopping and sightseeing with them?" ask Erika.

"That's because I picked the wrong friend. Not everyone in this world has the same nature. And I'm sure, there are still a lot of better friends out there. Even the people closest to you are good friends. Example, mother. And I'm gonna try to find a real friend. You have to try to get along with other people," said Mika still no establishment, as well as Erika.

"It's up if it wants you," Erika replied in an irritated tone.

"I agree with Mika. By making friends, rigid can share stories about the joys and sorrows of life," added Yagami who suddenly appeared crossing his arms on the chest leaning against the door.

"Where did the bully come from. I feel like he's wherever I am. He's a real bully. I have to defeat him so that he doesn't bother me anymore" Erika thought.

"As much as you guys, deh. I'm going home."

"Hey, wait for me," call Yagami.

"Why do you always show up wherever I am?" snarled Erika with his regret.

Yagami just smiled.

"Perhaps, this is what the ancients always called, the destiny of both of us," Yagami replied winking at Erika. To make him speed up his steps. Mika and Yagami stared at each other for a moment then turned around laughing to see Erika getting further away from the classroom.

"Just wait, I will conquer you, for sure" muttered Yagami with a sly smile.
