Melodia Rain

5. Miss Naif

"Duh, damn.” those words just popped out of Lea's lips when she realized that her maths assignment book didn't exist. Spontaneously he glanced left right, afraid that there was a listener swearing Lea uncontrolled. Safe.

It's just that Lea's current problem is when it's determined to collect the task, but it looks like the book was left behind in the Shop or it could be in the room.

In fact, this morning Lea had checked the contents of the bag and made sure that all the schedule books today had been brought. Strange, the book was left behind again.

“Lea, you're amazing. A thousand percent I salute your senility.” Yuni bobbing head.

While my friend was just plain grinning to hear compliments, or rather sneers. Lea held her breath watching Madam Rahma who began to check the task book one by one while passing her.

“Kiandra Azalea!”

Goody! Ms. Rahma had already called out Lea's name before she finished checking all the taskbooks, that one teacher must have been very fed up with her. I don't know what other punishment he will give, maybe this time got a suspension?

Actually if it is, then it is very good for Lea because she does not have to follow the lesson she hates. But of course it will be bad for the value on the report card later, if there is a red mark on the report card then it is no longer possible that he can escape from the eleventh class easily.

“Out again yes, Bu?” lea asked riled, offering a light punishment for herself before Ms Rahma gave a suspension.

Instead of answering, the middle-aged teacher smiled. Make Lea tremble.What a sweet smile, Ms. Rahma was more horrified than her anger.

“Of course not.” Bu Rahma thrust a book on Lea, “good work. I thought you never did a job, but here's a\-about of your mom doing well. In the future do not fall behind again ya.”

“I-iya, Bu.” Lea stammered in receiving the brown-coated taskbook too neatly.

He was amazed, convinced that the book was not his. But on the front of the cover, the full name of Lea is clearly stated.

While walking towards the bench, Lea unceasingly noticed the strange book of the magical bin. Glance at the glimpses of friends who may have lost the taskbook. But Ms. Rahma gave the names of the students of their class in full without a single one being missed.

“Say your book is missing?” yuni whispered in the middle of the lesson.

“Indeed.” sahut Lea full of confidence. He then opened the mysterious book in front of Yuni, “This is not mine, the writing was clearly different from me.”

“Wow! Very neat. Bener, you can't possibly write it.” Yuni mangosteen herself, Lea admitted that her writing is like chicken claws. He may not even be able to read what he wrote a few minutes ago.

Lea then circulates the view, finding out about the person who had secretly saved her.

But, nobody looks suspicious. All the students seemed to focus on watching Ms. Rahma. Not now, maybe he'll find it later. It could even be that when the lesson ends there is someone who will claim to have helped Lea.

Confusion still struck, but thanks to the book he was finally able to follow Bu Rahma's lessons without obstacles. So for a while, Lea preferred to be grateful for the unexpected help.

Arief and Nandar wait for Leah, Sarah also the Vindas in the Canteen. Both have ordered meatballs for Lea et al. But those who are waiting will not come. Impatiently, Arief decides to follow Lea to class. Letting Nandar keep five bowls of meatballs alone in the Canteen.

He grunts when he sees Lea and her two best friends being confronted by Rizal near the school garden, a few meters from Lea's class. The three girls did not come to the canteen.

Arief was hesitant whether to approach them or not. Because like most students, he is also afraid of Rizal who is urgently. But on the other hand he could not let Lea continue to be bullied Rizal like that.

Relying on the courage in existence, Arief also tried to approach Rizal. The badung man was approaching Lea. Sarah and Winda could do nothing but face Rizal alone.

“Zal. Let Lea go!” Arief clenched both hands, mustering up the guts to look at Rizal. Placing the body between Rizal and his three female friends. The badung suddenly turned his attention to Arief, revealing wild eyes filled with anger.

“Oh, have you started to dare lo ya?” Rizal ruffled his waist, walking slowly closer to Arief.

So dramatic, he and his arrogance felt like the most feared student in the universe. Sure, it's not a prank. Indeed, in real terms, the aura released by Rizal was indeed dark and frightening.

“Bu... not so..” Arief tried to avoid Rizal by stepping back, his guts suddenly shrunk.

Especially when Rizal suddenly snatched Arief's uniform collar. The hand of Leah's best friend then rose to hold the grip of Rizal, trying to release a hard hand that began to press his neck. Intention to help, Arief was even threatened.

“How is it?’ sarah clutches Winda and Lea's arms.

“Megan... If you want nakutin who really dong.” said Rizal without turning to Lea in the slightest.

Lea's efforts failed miserably, Rizal looked more at the horror of Arief who had been trembling in fear. He was happy when the opponent felt weak, so the man took a swing by raising his right fist. Gathering strength for him to smash into Arief's smooth face.

Rizal's eyebrows suddenly interlocked when he saw Arief's frightened face turned shady. Immediately the man waved his hand while paying attention to the back of Rizal's body,

“Hai, Lang.”

“Hmm.” the heavy voice of someone answering Arief's greeting, he is an Eagle.

Not to miss his three henchmen. They were standing right next to Lea. Rizal immediately threw down Arief and hurried around. Snarled at the Eagle who looked at him coldly.

“Gua has no business with you!” Rizal pointed right at the Eagle, a moment later he left from where he was standing.

Stay away from four students who have prepared themselves to play the game.

Lea, Sarah, and Winda gave a smile when they found Rizal—the most feared person in allo—apparently afraid of the Eagle.

“Still yes, Lang.” Arief got up while patting the clothes a little dirty. The eagle, as usual, simply nodded expressionlessly. Arief then approached his three female friends,

“You're okay, right?”

“Not really Rief.” replied Winda followed by her two friends' trousers, “But Lea's hand was a bit scuffed by Rizal's nail earlier when she pulled forcefully.”

Hearing Winda's words, Arief's face immediately showed an anxious expression. He grabbed Lea's hand and examined her. Throwing the girl's wrist. Sure enough, just below Lea's thumb were some scratches that almost bled.

While on the other hand, the Eagle secretly put attention on Lea's hand. Tri, who had been watching the eagle, felt strange when the man looked riled up.

Although not too obvious, but Tri can conclude that the Eagle also put anxiety towards Lea as Arief.

He then turned to three girls near Arief, throwing eyes at each other with Winda. Preparing to use ‘ modeold way to act back’. Paying attention without speech, but sending a warm gaze so deep.

“We treat in Kantin, Nandar because already food pesen for you also.” invite Arief, rubbing a scratch wound Lea.

“Oke.” Lea nodded happily, not because of Arief's concern. Except for hearing the word food has been ordered by Nandar.

Rizal's annoyance made him very hungry. Arief then let go of Lea's hand and stepped closer to the Eagle et al.

“You want to come with us to the cafeteria, I'm the last one.” invite Arief. Gentra, the stocky high student who was with Eagle instantly nodded with a sigh. But the Eagle's hand rushed to hold him.

“Arief, are you serious about Eagle?” chirps Lea who still thinks the Eagle has a grudge because of the event at the picket the other day, he is still parno to the execution of the tall man. A moment later the Eagle's sharp gaze instantly silenced him,

“Eh... I don't mean.”.

“You first aja.” said Eagle without turning the gaze from Lea, “Gua worried that there could not nelen food because of one table with us.”

After saying so the Eagle then invited the others to leave in front of Arief. Gentra showed an annoyed gurgle at Lea for having eliminated the chance to get Arief's treat.

Leah immediately hid herself behind the bodies of Vinda and Sarah. Even though the Eagle had twice helped his friend, it still could not change Lea's thinking if he did not like the Eagle.

“Rief, anyway next time the cave billih tractnya.” shouted Gentra from a distance.

“OK. Haha.” Arief gave a thumbs up and laughed to see Gentra who was hit by his three friends. After the Eagle was not seen again, Arief rushed to invite Lea,

Sarah, and Winda headed to the canteen. Approaching Nandar who has been waiting until dry while keeping five bowls of meatballs.
