Melt [NOT REVISED YET]

Short Hair

“Cika?! how's your condition? I heard you had a fever.” Nanami asked when she met me on the way to school.

“Better.” My answer.

“There's something I want to say.” Her speech made me reflexively tighten my grip on my school bag strap.

“Looks like I should try harder to get Yuda interested in me, you also tried harder huh Nanami.” My words cut the conversation, I switched the conversation we were hoping he didn't notice my change in attitude. I also don't want her to feel sorry for me for being with Yuda. I don't want him to pity me and decide on Judah for me.

“Eh?” He said a little surprised.

“I'll be serious this time.” I said with a smile to her, although in my heart I had given it up for Nanami, the girl who loved Yuda before me.

“Wait Cika!” Nanami yelled after me, and we laughed together. Covering each other's true feelings, keeping each other's feelings secret.

Arriving at school...

“For Hana.” Sapaku passed his desk.

“Morning Cika.” His words greeted me with a smile.

“This morning I made more supplies, so I made it for Hana too.” I obviously gave him my box.

“Asik... This is really great. I thought you forgot about it and didn't want to make it for me.” He said so excited.

“Thank God you like it.” I said while smiling at him.

The time passed quickly, probably because I was in a condition not to enjoy my day today, and again I want to go home soon until I forget my lunch box that is still in Hana's hands.

But I've already reached the school gate. So I was lazy to go back and get my lunch box, I took my foot down the sidewalk and stopped in front of a salon. Then I saw my reflection reflected off the window of the salon.

“Should I change my hairstyle?” I muttered while holding my long hair, and I stepped my foot into the salon after making my decision. I let the hairdresser cut my hair to a shoulder.

‘This way I can start my new sheet.’ My mind after I cut my hair.

“I'm home.” My speech.

“You're home?” Ask my mom who is busy in the kitchen.

“Ya.” I answered while walking into the kitchen.

“What did you do to your hair? don't you like short hairstyles? because ...” Ask mommy cut.

“I want to try it .. so when is Dad coming home? school festival stay a few weeks away.” Obviously I asked back.

“Entailah, he said there was a sudden job so your father delayed his return.” My mother answered while preparing food for me.

“Again?” I murmured while eating the food, and mother came to eat with me.

“I finished.” I said as I carried the dirty dishes into the sink and washed them.

“How are you? it's been a long time mom didn't hear about her.” Ask mom suddenly.

“Good ... and always cheerful as always.” I answered while drying my hands.

“Eh ... mother's child is getting colder course ...” Mama said while cleaning the dining table.

“I'll go learn, so mom can go rest.” Continue while hugging her for a while, and leave from there.

Arriving in the room, I immediately changed my school uniform with a nightgown. Then I grabbed my phone stored in my school skirt.

“There is a message in,” muttered me while opening the message, “Yuda.” I continued when I saw the name of the sender of the message.

Hi Cika, tomorrow lesson mom.Mita . I heard mom.Mita asked students/i from other classes to paint faces again. But just a rough sketch, colorless. So will you be my partner tomorrow?

“Ha–haaaa..?!” Shouted I felt surprised by the message I got, “What does that mean? why ask me to be his partner? The nanami? what about Nanami?” I babble.

“Good morning Yuda.” Sapa Nanami was heard out of the classroom.

“Pa–morning.” Reply Yuda stammered.

Then I stepped my foot into the classroom, following Yuda who had already entered the class. Then followed by Hana's voice walking behind me, making everyone's attention in the class lead to her.

“He... What's wrong with Cika?”

“Why did he cut his hair?”

“What has happened to him?”

“What don't-don't ..”

Oceh some people even discuss about my new hair, “Good morning Cika.” Say hello to Yuda as I sit next to him.

“Pagi.” My reply.

“So can tell me about your hair?” Hana asked who was sitting on the empty seat in front of my desk because she happened to not have come.

“What looks weird?” My answer diverted the conversation.

“Not really, it looks fresher .. but why suddenly a haircut?” His words answered my question.

“Nothing special ko.” I said while smiling at him.

“CIKA!” Anya shouted shamelessly, making me stop her immediately by walking towards the classroom door to meet her.

“Do not shout in class people.” I told him.

“He?” He muttered, “Ci–cika what's wrong with your hair? why be a boat?” He continued asking while holding my shoulder with both hands.

“What don't-don't you just get heartbroken?” He continued whispering and immediately got a blow on his head.

“Do not origin talk.” I said, releasing my hands from above his head.

“Wow it turns out you can behave like that too.” Said Hana who was standing next to me.

“She did it to hide her shy feeling.” Obviously Anya made me want to hit him again, but with a quick motion Anya gave me a shot to distract me.

“What is this?” My toot.

“I was told to give the sheet when I met with members of the art club. They said they wanted to create an event, read it first. I went back to class first bye-bye.” He answered while leaving my class.

 

“Event?” I muttered while watching the paper in my hand.
