Miss Kissable & Mr. Strawberry

Process

Upon Alex and Kayla to the UKS, Maya and two other health workers greet them both.

"Kayla, what's wrong?" ask Maya.

"No need to talk, just take the medicine!" sergeant Alex is impatient.

"I don't papa brother, medicine Alex first yes Brother! It's a lot of injuries." Kayla told Maya. Maya also nodded.

"No! Obatin he first!" argue Alex.

"I don't papa Al, just a little gini wound. You're worse, so you're first."

"No! You go first, I'm easy." - argued Alex again.

"Sister, Alex's medicine first! Look sister, this is broken glass." Kayla said again.

"Obatin him first!" alex's word is firm, making Maya have no choice but to agree.

Kayla grunts lazily. Come on, just give up on Alex. Maya also treats Kayla's injured palm, while two other officers handle Alex.

There was a glass fragment that hit Alex's neck making his neck bleed. Likewise with his back, there were two small parts that were also exposed to broken glass. The glass fragment also hit Alex's left arm and made her arm bleed too. Unexpectedly, his right arm was injured, even more severely. The glass fragment not only scratched Alex's right arm, but also stuck a sharp stick into the skin of his arm. So that when Kayla held Alex's arm and was about to pull it, Kayla was accidentally stabbed by the broken glass, and Kayla's hand was injured.

Alex pensively sitting on a UKS gurney, he certainly thought about a fight with his three friends earlier. Alex felt regretful and sad because her friends treated her like that. On the other hand he was also very angry with them, because they tried to hurt Kayla, due to their hatred.

Actually, Alex was intending to talk nicely to them, Alex was looking for the three of them everywhere. Until he found them in the middle of the field. Alex was about to approach them, but before he got to them, he saw Sandi throwing her basketball seriously and steadily, as if not letting her goal off the hook. How shocked Alex when he looked at the target of the ball that was thrown by Sandi, he was wide in disbelief. Password Ball will hit Kayla. Without thinking long, quickly and nimble, Alex ran as fast as he could and shouted.

".....!"

The hysterical screams and shouts of the students and schoolgirls who were watching him were heard in an instant. Even the shocked Kayla could only raise her hands to protect her upper body as best she could. Luckily, Alex kept Kayla away from the ball.

Not until there, the ball that missed the target even hit the window glass, and caused the glass to shatter everywhere. Alex immediately protects Kayla's body from the uncontrollable shards of glass. So that his back and neck were injured, both arms were also injured.

"Al.." said Kayla to make Alex's daydreams fall away

"Miss Kissable, are you all right?"

"yes, I'm not papa. How're you?"

Alex flicked his shoulders and smiled, "You're good, me too"

"You thought about that, huh? What are you rasain?"

"I'm sad Miss Kissable, I'm a mess."

"They don't like me that's normal, you know that too. What makes you sad?"

"yes it. I'm sorry because I yelled at them, hit them, and they, too. I really think I'm like an enemy, Miss Kissable." Alex said with a tearful expression.

"They just vent their anger AI, you know! I'm also sad, Al.."

"Why?"

"Because today you failed to control your emotions."

Alex looked down. "yes, I was also sad because of that. I'm really mrsel." Alex then raised both his hands and looked at him, as if he were looking up to pray.

"My hands are.hakitin my own friends" he said lirih.

he then clasped his hands together with a wry feeling. "Maybe it's karma for me, because I hurt people a lot. I also hurt you a lot, I insulted you with this hand. Now that I'm punished, I'm beaten up by my own friends. I was hit by hands that always hugged me, always held me, and who was always ready for me." he said, making Kayla swallow a heavy saliva.

"Maybe not, they can still excuse me after today?" tanyakanya.

Kayla tried to smile as much as she could to encourage Alex. "How can AI, it might be difficult but you don't give up, right?"

Alex fell silent. Pretty long.

"Miss Kissable, just let them. They either forgive me or they don't, that's their right. Let them do what they want, and so do I. The path of change that I'm trying to start is. Can't stop, right? I think that's more important than thinking about the three of them." Alex said, thinking.

"Somehow, they've tried to get you. They might try that again, and I can't fight with them anymore. So I guess I'd rather be fished up, than it ever happens again"

Kayla was confused to respond.

"Until they can understand me, and understand you, they may keep trying to repeat this. But I can't be far from you. It's up to them what they want, 'cause I've sent you on my way, with you Miss Kissable! They can make or break my spirit, but as long as you are beside me, I will not change my path" he said steadily.

"Al, aren't you as comfortable as your decision?" asked Kayla doubtfully.

"You mean?"

"I don't want you to mess up because you chose me and left your friends."

"It's not me, Miss Kissable! Those who left me. Those who break the bonds of our friendship, those who try to destroy my defense. Before I was sure they just needed time and understanding to forgive me, but what did they do? They try to harm you, they make me feel unappreciated because of this."

"Yes, I know they don't like you, but I don't think they'll bother you because I'm with you. But today, they broke my faith." Alex said again.

"I understand. But think again Al!" kayla said it was no less serious.

"Maybe one day you will be lazy because you have chosen not to fight for your friendship. And I don't want that to happen." he continued.

Alex fell silent.

he smiled in silence. "I know them Miss Kissable. Although today they have disappointed me, I am still sure that one day they will understand why I chose this path."

Kayla smiled proudly, "You do continue Al! No papa today you lose as much as your anger, there will still be tomorrow and so on. The name of studying must be a test, right, as smart as you.. still do you have weaknesses?! This is also not a national test, if you do not pass you can repeat again! isn't it?" kayla chirps, makes Alex laugh.

... ________________...

The days change, the weeks change, the more the days the changes Alex makes. Starting from his warm attitude even though it still looks a bit stiff, then the courtesy to the teachers he also showed, to the bullying that almost never happens again.

Since his quarrel with Bima, Sandi, and Vicky, Alex took lessons from there. That in the process there must be obstacles, Alex tried to change himself and also the circumstances around him, but he could not possibly change people's viewpoint about all that easily. It was his three friends who were the toughest obstacles for him, once again Alex defeated the three of them and won his own heart.he had decided to continue the path he had just taken, he said, and no matter how much of an obstacle he faces, he cannot retreat. For his own good and his own future, for the good of his school, for the sake of everyone around him.

About bullying that had been a tradition in his school, for Alex it was also a challenge and obstacle for him. Moreover, seeing the itchy hands of three friends who until now still carry out their tradition. Alex feels a little lucky because he and his three friends are spaced out now, if not. Alex must have been involved in the bullying action that his friends were negligent. Yes, although the more days their distance felt the farther, at least Alex could easily resist his desire to do bullying.

So far, Alex has never bullied or harassed anyone again, but he also did not try to stop the bullying action by Bima, Sandi, and Vicky. he did not want to aggravate his relationship with them by reprimanding or forbidding them. Alex just hopes that when their eyes open to see the new Alex, they will try to stop the bad tradition. Changing habits is difficult, which is why Alex does not want to disturb the three of them by opposing or hindering the habits they do.

So far, Alex has also harbored his longing feelings for the embrace and joke of the three of them. That's all he can do right now. It's not easy, but for the good of it all he must learn to win his heart and mind over his passion and ego.

For months Alex went through this process, during it was also the emptiness of his life without his three friends he felt. Lucky Kayla always beside him, Miss Kissable is always there for him, be his back, become a place of grievance and outpouring of his heart.

The last few months also Alex's closeness with Kayla became a conversation of students and even teachers. The facts about Miss Kissable were revealed, no one would have thought that Kayla was Alex's idol girl whom she referred to as Miss Kissable. Gossip and news about their relationship also raises pros and cons. Of Alex's fans, Kayla is only seen as a cocky student who was pretentious at first, and now even took advantage of Alex's interest in her. They hated Kayla even more, but they could do nothing but sneer and blaspheme her from behind. Even so, they were very happy to see Alex change his attitude.

Many other students think the same, but not a few also support Kayla and Alex's change of course. Alex doesn't mind it all, only sometimes when Kayla is insecure, Alex is also affected. But the two of them can always overcome it together. Although they do not have a special relationship, for Alex enough to be near Kayla it has made him feel calm. It was Kayla who always held her hand and encouraged her the past few months.

"Thank you, Miss Kissable..!" muttered.

Kayla only responded with a smile. she was more interested in the scenery where she is now, than Alex's gratitude that Kayla heard so often.

Today, Alex takes her to Alex's secret room, his private art room located behind the school's art room. The large room that Kayla estimated was the size of their school field, consisting of two floors. Kayla explored every part of the room, on the top floor where the entrance was, there were many displays of Alex's work. But it turns out that downstairs there are more of his other collections. On the top floor is more dominant a relaxing place for Alex, while on the lower floor it looks more like an art museum.

"Masyaa Allah.." murmured little Kayla.

"Wow.. Al, you might have a place this good."

Alex got up from his bed. "Miss Kissable you know, you're the first person I've brought here."

Kayla raised her eyebrows, "Masa'?"

"Hm." Alex walked towards Kayla.

"I guess I should also question.."

"What about?" ask Alex.

"Have you never stepped Bima, Sandi, the same Vicky here?" Alex shakes.

"Why? The three of them have not been with you all this time, you've been giving this place away from them too?"

"They know this place. I just never let them in, and they put my privacy at a price."

"The horror is like you're the bad one..?" kayla Mumbles.

"You mean?"

"yes, as understanding as it is, the three of them are the same as you. They know you have a private room, and they don't poke you?"

Alex nodded awkwardly, "yes, they are my best friends. That's why I'm sure, one day they will also understand why I believe gini now. One day we will be together again like before" said Alex inside, staring blankly at the outside of the glass.

For a long time the two of them were silent while standing up and staring out the glass. Kayla was happy to be in this situation and atmosphere. Not only saw Alex change and the state of the school, but he also accompanied her to this extent. Kayla is thrilled to be a part of the change and new atmosphere at her school, as well as in Alex's life. Just look at Alex now, he has changed a lot even though sometimes his haughty and grumpy nature appears.

But so far, the state of the school that Kayla once dreamed of, now began to be seen in front of Kayla's eyes. Alex, who is now also the Alex who used to want Kayla to see. She returns, she becomes a gentle and polite Alex, who is affectionate and friendly to everyone. He also had the honor he should have had. The teachers were no longer afraid of him, they treated Alex just like the other students. Even so, their disdain for Alex is not lost, they still respect Alex as a child owner of the school besides as a student.

But Alex's struggle and path doesn't end here, he has a lot to learn, he still has a job to do. One of them is that lately has always been Kayla's mind. And now Kayla feels it's the right time to tell Alex.

"AI!"

"yeah?"

"So far what are you feeling? About the process and the struggle you went through."

"I've had a lot of emotional pain all along, just as bad as my ego. I do a lot of things that go against myself. But so far, my feelings have been calmer. I feel the burden that once occupied me, now it's light, Miss Kissable!"

Alex turned to look at Kayla, "It's all thanks to you. Right said my father, you have a big influence on my life. I'm lucky Miss Kissable, I'm happy." she said wholeheartedly.

Kayla smiled brightly, "I also feel lucky to be a part of your change. Thank you for doing this much, AI!"

"I thank you to you! Anyway I do admit everything is for myself too, this is my choice. And I can be like gini, can be here now.it's because of you."

"I Love you Miss Kissable" Alex said as she looked into Kayla's eyes, making Kayla awkward and instantly averted her eyes.

"Emmm.. Al, there's something I want to talk to you about."

"yeah?"

"Eum..." Kayla was confused and hesitant to say it.

"Hey, what's up, Diem? Something important, huh?"

"Yes, it's important." said Kayla.

Alex is still waiting, "What's serious?" ask again.

"yes, pretty serious."

Alex smiled wrongly, he then snorted a laugh, "Kok me so loud ya nungnya.."

"Hm?" confused Kayla.

Kayla laughed because she felt funny. "What's Al, why are you so nervous, what do you think I'm talking about?"

"What's so important and serious about..your feelings?" ask Alex to doubt.

Kayla pressed her shoulders. "Not really."

There was a bit of disappointment in Alex hearing Kayla's reply. But Alex understood, Kayla might not change her decision. All right, just let her love clap one hand, but her hand is always in Kayla's.

"So..?" ask Alex.

"You.. have apologized to everyone?"

Alex nodded while remembering. "Why?"

"I don't think so yet"

Alex frowned deeply, he thought while holding his chin with the tip of his thumb and index finger. "All teachers are, the victims of bullying are all like that."

"Not AI."

"Who hasn't?" confused Alex.

"The victim of bullying is out of school."

"Huh?" alex muttered in his confusion.He did not expect Kayla to remember them either.

"So this is what you want to talk about?"

Kayla smiled faintly and was silent, "Actually this is not the point, but it would be better to solve this problem first before getting into the main agenda." her inner self.

"You want me to apologize to them too?" alex asked, Kayla nodded.

Alex grunting. Oh gosh.. Alex forgets them, after all what is the importance of remembering them. Now Alex doesn't know where he can find them to apologize. Let alone their phone numbers, their names Alex does not all remember. How will he apologize to them one by one?

Alex scratched his head in confusion.
