Mission Jessy

Back to School

A week passed and Jessy already felt that her body was getting better. His feet rarely hurt anymore. He has started to be able to move his left shoulder and back a little although it is still very limited due to casts.

That morning, Jessy no longer braided her hair. He let his dense black and beautiful wavy hair unravel. Not only because he was disturbed every time he saw Melva's braid hair, but also because he still had difficulty braiding his own hair.

Jessy also decided to take off her thick glasses. Although her vision was a little blurry, Jessy was sure that Melva's thick glasses did not match her style at all.

Actually Jessy wants to do more for her first comeback in school. But Melva does not have makeup tools, long socks, earphones or limited edition shoes that she always wears.

So he had to wear what was. If he had known how difficult his friend was, he would have done more and given more of what he had for Melva.

"Mel, you forgot to bring your glasses." Ms Rahma caught up with Jessy who had walked several meters from her home and thrust out the thick glasses she had found on the table.

"That's okay, Mom. Mel can still see clearly."

"Bring it up, Mel. You said it was hard to read again." Ms. Rahma stuffed those thick glasses into Jessy's bag.

"Yes it's Jess-.. Oops! Mean Mel, Mel left first huh, Mom?"

The first day of his return to school wasn't too bad. Unlike usual who always welcomed various bullying tricks that he often saw received Melva since morning, that day Jessy free from the bundle. Maybe because his friends were afraid that he would add to the weight of the wound behind his cast.

Even so, not a few also whispered praise for the change in his appearance that day. Because Melva is not bad. She has legs and is slightly taller than Jessy. Although it is a bit nervous because of the excess fat layer on the cheeks and some other parts of his body.

In addition, the face is also beautiful just a little muddy and not maintained. And so it gets worse because of the thick and large glasses that always cover almost most of his face.

Jessy thought her first mission to improve Melva's appearance would be successful. It just needs patience, perseverance and discipline. Jessy again stared at the list of missions that became her life goal now.

"Hey the transfer boy! Why did you come in here?" diana asked Melva.

Apparently Jessy is still used to her old class because without realizing it she actually went to Jessy's class instead of Melva.

"Sori, wrong in. Maybe because of the late holiday." said Jessy.

He hurriedly left before Diana's nemesis acted.

Jessy eventually finds Melva's class but she doesn't know where Melva used to sit. Not wanting to be seen as strange, Jessy put her bag on one of the front benches and went to the toilet.

When he returned to his class, all the benches were full and left only one bench at the very end of the back row near the window.

'By your taste, too, Mel.' Jessy muttered to herself.

He is happy because at least they have one thing in common, both like the position of the bench. Unfortunately Jessy does not know that it turns out Mel got it because he was forced to.

"Good morning, kids." The sound of Melva's homeroom crumbs makes the class quiet for a moment.

"Well, today I'm going to remanufacture a new teacher at our school. Please come in, sir!"

'What?!!' Jessy couldn't believe what she saw.

"Include the kids, this is Mr. Evan, our new gym teacher. In the meantime, he will replace Pak Rafi who is on sabbatical due to injury. I hope you can be nice and polite with him."

A student raises his hand, "Father has a boyfriend yet? I want a list of dongs, sir."

"Huuuu...." Suddenly the whole class became boisterous to cheer the joking of the student named Fania.

Jessy still could not believe what she had just heard. How could he be so easy to say that he has not had a girlfriend when they have been betrothed. But at least Jessy is grateful not to be married to a man who likes to spread such charm.

"All kids. After this you will be the first class to do sports lessons with our new teacher. I hope you guys don't make trouble for Mr. Evan. Then excuse me, sir?"

"Thank you, Mom."

The lesson switch bell rang and the students enthusiastically changed clothes and gathered in the field. Just leave Jessy and Evan in the classroom.

"Hi! I never thought I'd see you here again."

"Dad you know me?" Jessy does not believe that Evan will recognize her, after she confirms that her own father does not recognize her at all.

"Didn't you know if we ever met? You're the crying girl in the cab, right?"

Jessy who was about to answer 'remember dong' excitedly suddenly fell silent and disappointed. It turns out that what Evan recognizes is Melva's body, not her. Jessy snorted angrily and left Evan for the school field.

Since it was the first day he taught the Galaxy High School kids, then after the warm-up, he, Evan gave all his students to do whatever sport they liked and re-assembled on the field thirty minutes before class ended.

Jessy who could not participate in sports because of her condition was forced to just sit watching in a chair under a tree. Then Evan approached her and sat down nearby.

"What's going on?"

"Accident." Answer Jessy briefly.

"Oh, sorry.."

"So when have we met?"

"Did you forget? The Twelve Feb. I remember very much because tomorrow morning I have to fly to Canada."

"So how do you know Jessy?

"How do you know?"

"Jessy told me she was betrothed to her father."

"Ah, yes, the future wife I meant that day was her. I went there to see Jessy. You're Jessy's friend? Whoa! Turns out the world is only as wide as moringa leaves?"

"He also said that he only once met a man who was late to his house empty-handed."

"What?! Aren't you saying it's all because of you?"

"What???"

"You should have told him that you were the one who hijacked my cab and spent all the chocolate I wanted to give him."

"What?!"

"Wait on! Is that why he's angry?" Evan ruffled his hair in frustration.
