16. FORTRESS REINFORCEMENT

The eagle came early to school this morning, too early. Even though last night he did not sleep at all, but the slightest drowsiness did not approach his two sharp neutrals.

The Eagle's feeling was too chaotic at this moment. Between annoyance, shame, happiness and guilt to Lea, he could have hugged the girl and humiliated her.

“Salah who has a really cute face, my defense will collapse.” The eagle is nipping.

He had been sitting in an empty classroom since it was still dark. Go in a hurry from home, with no strings attached and breakfast. He only thought of two things, went to school and met Lea immediately.

During this one year he was able to keep his distance from Lea, resisting all desire to be close to the girl because of the sudden insecurities that prevailed when they met. The eagle completely bent its knees in front of the two clear neutrals of Lea.

But yesterday he couldn't hold on anymore, Lea was very close. So without thinking Lea's embrace like her desire all this time.

But suddenly the Eagle realized that Lea would only make him lose his identity. Then he did something that would make him hate him. Losing the girl with a word that was completely inappropriate for Lea to hear.

“I know that's the first thing I think of when I hug her, it's just that it's not better that I don't have to say it? Ah stupid once.” The eagle nodded and hit the head several times.

He put headphones in his ear. Play a row of Muse songs from the phone with the maximum volume. He closed his eyes, hoping that his mind would return to clarity and be able to decide the best move that could be taken.

Damnit. Not getting quieter, he's even pounding. Recollecting how the fragrance of strawberries came out of the hair of the girl in his arms. The chunks of ice that often stifled the chest when they met Lea yesterday melted away.

A few minutes yesterday was able to answer all the Eagle questions during this time. Kiandra Azalea, is the only girl the Eagle is waiting for. This is the reason why the eagle never felt interested in glancing at another girl.

You're a good girl. As for me, every day struggling with violence and illegal goods. The fort you destroyed yesterday I had to reassemble it even though it took a long time. If I still can't turn into a good person. Then I'm not at all worthy of your Kiandra. The eagle nodded his head, not enjoying the song. Rather than agree with his thoughts.

But this time again he smelled strawberry scent, the longer the clearer and more real. Makes the heart of the Eagle suddenly growl wild. Leah was really nearby.

Slowly he opened his eyes, the Eagle's instincts were right. Lea, the girl was standing awkwardly. It is pale, with blackened and puffy eye bags. Make the eagle feel guilty.

“Elang.” Lea stared coldly at the Eagle.

The man lowered his headphones and returned Lea's gaze with a gripping look in his eyes, “I want you to apologize.”

No Kiandra, don't look at me with your two beautiful eyes, I can barely resist touching you. Inner Eagle, gather back the courage to stay away from the girl.

The eagle rose, with his height he tried to peek at something that was behind the collar of Lea's shirt. The mark is still there, the blemish of the Eagle yesterday still looks reddish. Soon the Eagle looked away.

“Lo talking the same cave? Don't we have no more business, huh?” said the Eagle ketus.

Lea was surprised instead of playing to hear his words, the two round neutrals were trembling unblinkingly.

The eagle resisted the urge to re-hug her girl, leaving Lea still standing stiff with a breath of breath. Letting enough of Lea's hatred get there, he didn't want the girl to hate him more if he knew how bad an eagle was.

The man walked quickly down the corridor. Not many students had come yet, at most three or four people. That was another class student.

As much as possible the Eagle took a sip of air, cooling the embers in his chest. Locking themselves to stay in the deepest cave, prevents the feeling of being tempted back by Lea's glowing eyes.

For a second he imagined himself to be Erlangga the exemplary, accomplished and popular student. Enough to be Erlangga, an ordinary High School boy.

A girl who was spotted carrying dolls and flowers. Take Lea to the middle of the basketball room at rest, saying that he loves Lea. Then the girl nodded with a smile, receiving both gifts from Erlangga.

It was really simple, yet to the Eagle it was just a mere dream.

All of this was destroyed when bottles of drink, cigarettes, stones, and sharp weapons flashed on the Eagle's head. He smashed fists on some other High School boys until they fell helpless.

Avoiding the machete, then he responded with a stone in a fist. The eagle never held any weapon other than a fist.

Then immediately Lea looked at the Eagle who was beating someone else. The girl appeared to throw a look of hatred as if looking at a monster, then slowly she stepped back.

Throw away the gift from Erlangga and do not want to look back at all when called. So, there is a feeling of loneliness greater than before.

֎

Day by day passed. There was never again any interaction between the Eagle and Leah. Go back to living each other's lives as if nothing happened between the two.

Lea had never been to the Music Room, she was also reluctant to greet the Eagle's friends even though they happened to cross paths.

Don't know if he's been brash and pretentious towards the Eagle gang, but he does want to ignore them.

Lea tried to forget the four pleasant days that he and Elang et al went through, although after Gebyar Ekskul he got a positive effect from his performance on stage.

Lea sang and danced, making her a well-known underclassman. He also got a plus, because of that he managed to attract many new members in Ekskul Dance.

Keep Lea busy for a few weeks as it takes care of the registration and preparation of the initial exercises.

One day, the school is in an uproar with the upcoming anniversary of Reva. The Headmaster's granddaughter whose popularity is as high as Eagle and Desi. She looks beautiful and enters the ranks of high-achieving students.

But he gained popularity not because of these two things, but is when the class increase he expressed love in public to the Eagle.

Worse, the man actually firmly rejected Reva's statement. If it was an ordinary girl, perhaps she would directly wrap her face with a paper frying from the Canteen.

But not with Reva, he bluntly declared war on all Garut High School students. Full of confidence he promised to conquer the Eagle and become the man's first lover.

The excitement of Reva's sweet seventheen plan was spread throughout the school. No exception three girls with the nickname ‘nothing’ among popular students. Who else if not Lea, Sarah and Vinda.

The three of them were lying on Lea's porch for one thing. Sarah gets an invitation from Reva, certainly because they are classmates.

Making Winda and Lea whine all day Sarah wants to be invited to the party. Unfortunately, each recipient of the invitation can only invite one person who was not invited directly by Reva.

“Arief use what pellets anyway? He's not the same class as Reva, but got an invitation. Surprised also the boy could know well all the popular students of the school.” snorted Lea while playing a lollipop in his mouth.

“That's it, she's so good. Can't be angry anymore, where is there anyone who is not happy with Arief?” sela.

“Ih keeps me less good what try?” Winda just keeps twisting her curly hair, “Did I deketin again Tri aja huh? So that it can be taken to the party.”

“NO!” sarah and Lea together.

“Awas aja yes if you want to be with him again, inget tuh first cry seven days seven malem because suddenly cut off after three anniversaries.” threatened Sarah in support of Lea nod.

“Yes, Sar. Take Winda there.” break up Lea.

“Keep you?” ask Sarah.

“Ah, I don't know which one Reva is either. After all from one school I am not the only one who is not invited, right?” Leah tried to amuse herself when she was eager to come along,

“After all I don't want ya if Winda cry again because Tri kayak first.”

“Ih, Lea..” Winda could not say anything, he hugged his best friend thankfully.

“Hai Lea, long time no see ya.” Tri who came with Gentra and Adi suddenly greeted.

The girl only smiled faintly answering the greeting. He obviously no longer wants to be in touch with the Eagle and his minions, “His story is there?”

“Tuh in class.” reply Lea potluck.

“Udah outside.” says a stiff heavy voice behind Lea.

Needless to say, it was indeed the voice of the Eagle. Tri and his two friends immediately ignored Lea and approached the Eagle. Discuss group plans about Ekskul later in the afternoon.

“Elang!” a girl shouted out loud. Stepping quickly past Lea and her two friends, “Hai is also Tri, Adi, and Gentra!”

“That's the name Reva.” whispered Sarah.

Instantly Lea and Winda glanced at him, he was really just like what was rumored. Beautiful and beautiful. The three girls suddenly fell silent, about to steal the hearing about their conversation until Reva dared to call the Eagle in the crowd.

“Nih invitation for next week.” Reva split a small card on the four men in front of her.

“This has been the cave wait from yesterday, kirin lo will not ngundang us.” Gentra raised an eyebrow, making the girl smile sweetly.

“Sori deh, the end of a lot that must be shared.”

“But it's not wrong to give to the Eagle? He has never asked for a party invitation from any girl.” said Adi.

“Sacral also make Eagle.” added Tri.

“There is no harm in trying many times, maybe there will be one chance.” Reva is a really tough girl. Although the Eagle's friends continued to persuade Reva to surrender, she insisted.

“Gua will come.” short sentences that suddenly slide from the Eagle's lips instantly make his friends silent for a moment.

“WHAAATZ!” exclaim Gentra, Tri and Adi together.

Lea, Sarah and Winda were also stunned by the Eagle's reply, they reflexively turned to the Eagle. Coincidentally the man also looked at Lea et al, soon the three girls returned to lower their faces in disbelief.

“Must be Eagle suddenly receive.” whispered Sarah.

“Because of hard effort Reva time.” timpal Lea.

“Definitely taken the same Reva tuh, like.” says Winda.

“Lang, you're not seriously ill, are you? Don't tell me your age is staying any minute.” Tri seriously asked in an anxious tone. The eagle did not respond.

“Elang really want to come?” Reva made sure, he had been very hopeful that the Eagle was serious. The three acute kepo girls who were prickly on the porch also looked back, they could no longer hold back the curiosity.

“Hm. Cave appointments will come.” The eagle gave an affirmation.

Spontaneous girl in front of him presents a kiss on the Eagle's cheek. Made the few disciples who were around wide in astonishment. Reva is a brave girl. The eagle glanced at Lea for a moment, then wiped the cheek from Reva's kiss with a handkerchief.

“Basic aggressive chick!” cibir Eagles then waltzed away followed by his three friends who were still noisily about his willingness to come to the Reva party.

As if the Eagle's promise wasn't clear enough they heard. Of course this time the scene of Reva kissing the cheek of Eagle immediately became a trending topic for school gossip addicts.

“He said aggressive same Reva? Forgot if he went to Lea?” Sudden emotional awakening with Eagle's behavior.

“Win..” Sarah whispered to Linda, gesturing to be silent because Leah's countenance turned grim after hearing Vinda's words.

“Lea, maa..”

“Win, don't talk about that anymore. I'm ashamed, actually.” Ogre Lea down playing fingers.

He almost forgot the incident in the side garden, but Winda instead reminded him again.Automatically Sarah and Winda hugged Lea together.
