Me Vs Flocking Mommy

Chapters 11. Special Driver

“Nih, for you.” Ella put the bread that Albert had given her on the table. The atmosphere of the class was quite boisterous, because the class was over and the time to go home from school.

“Wow, Jeco bread. How not to eat?” ask Maira. He hesitated to take the bread, seeing that it was still intact, the box had not been opened by Ella.

“Udah full,” replied Ella briefly.

“Udah full? What do you eat in the UK? Most just sweet tea equal coconut biscuit,” reply Maira.

“I bought a canteen goreg rice earlier,” Ella said. Actually he just ate a fried tofu. The rest he gave to the UKS officers. “Mending I eat fried rice, rather than bread from her,” Inner Ella. I don't know why he's back.

“But loss, La. More delicious Jeco bread, coupled with canteen fried rice,” Maira said. “Eh, why are you doing this in UKS? Kirain has come home with a cute guy earlier,” continued Maira.

“Ngapain home? Meningan I'm a beautiful bobok in UKS. There's TV and AC again,” Ella said.

“I-iya, anyway. But who's that guy, anyway? I never see it? Your cousin, huh?” whispered Maira.

Ella again pouted at the question from Maira. His memory swirled to the moments when Albert rubbed his hair. “I won't change my decision.” Albert's words swirled in Ella's ears, breaking her heart into pieces.

“Oh yes, I just remembered. We have a task from Bu Ovy, told to make a masterpiece from batik.” Maira diverts the story, seeing Ella reluctant to answer her question. Maira doesn't want to force her best friend to tell her stories.

“Simple, anyway. Buy it at the souvenir shop. Find the cheapest price and the quality is bad, let's suppose we make our own,” chirped Naya, who just joined.

“Can also be your idea,” Ella said with a small laugh.

“Ya. Home, yuk. Can't wait, I want to collapse,” invite Naya.

“Kuy, lah,” says Ella and Maira. Today Ella plans to go straight home and lock herself in a room when her mother comes home. “Eh, this is bread for you two. I no longer appetite sweet-sweet,” said Ella.

Maira and Naya looked at each other. “You sure? He deliberately bought expensive bread for you, you see,” asked the two of them.

“Yes, I'm serious. My stomach is not good enough to eat sweet bread,” to Ella.

“Ya, already. Tomorrow I change the treat in the canteen, deh,” Maira said with a nod of Naya's head.

“Neventless. Can I get free, not buy using my own money,” reply Ella.

“La, look tuh at gate.” Maira pointed towards the school gate with an eye gesture.

“Gosh!” naya was shocked.

“Hah, my goodness. Why else is he here?” grumbled Ella in heart. “Guys, I think my stuff is missing in class, deh,” Ella said trying to escape.

Unfortunately he was late. His two friends had walked first and chatted with the handsome driver who picked up Ella. The guy had changed into a casual outfit, making his good looks even more radiant. Maira and Naya apologize to Albert, for feeling bad for bringing Ella's bread.

“Ella!” albert shouted while waving his hand. Her sweet smile, made the students hypnotized to see her.

“Ugh, shit!” Ella could not escape again. He was forced to approach the gate while putting on a sour face.

“How are you doing?” ask Albert in a soft voice.

“Udah improved,” replied Ella Jutek.

“I drive home, yes,” said Albert volunteered.

“Ndon't need. I can go home by myself. In the afternoon there are many angkot, kok,” replied Ella.

Maira and Naya frowned, looking at the interaction between Ella and Albert. “What is the relationship between the two of them?” I think the two students.

Albert did not give up when he heard Ella's reply. The man walked up to Ella. “You don't have the fare to go home, do you? Want to walk home?” whisper in the girl's ear.

Ella could smell the employer's perfume clearly. His face was flushed, enduring the shame and annoyance.

“La, I first, yes. I was picked up by my sister, tuh,” said Naya, breaking Ella's awkwardness.

“I also went home first, yeah. Bus I have datag,” said Maira anyway. The two friends felt increasingly awkward seeing the closeness between Albert and Ella.

“Fix, yes. It must be Ella's boyfriend,” thought Naya and Maira.

“Guys, don't stay with me. Please,” said Ella. But the two friends did not look back. They left Ella with a shitty guy.

Albert smiled faintly and glanced at Ella. “They didn't catch you, tuh. Now we are both here,” said Albert.

Ella looked around. Sure enough, the school yard already looked deserted. The students were at the bus stop in front of the school. Some have been brought home.

“Back with me, if you don't want to walk eight kilometers,” Albert said. “I'm hungry, nih. Lunch where are we?” said the man again.

“No need to get along with me!” Ella had already dared to refute the man, as no one else noticed the two of them. The teenager then left Albert who was still smiling sweetly at him.
