My Pole Ketos
The Truth's? (Alex)
“This is the umpteenth time you are late. What punishment is appropriate for you?” A sardonic smile was engraved on my lips and the girl who wore a knee-length skirt and training pants that exceeded the eyes of the feet just looked at me annoyed.
“What's the deal with you?” I stared at him flat and observed him from the top of his hair to the tip of his foot.
“Your pants crossed the line. Come to BK!” However, the girl directly punched me in the chest so I sat down with the pain of her fist. He followed my style of sitting and a wicked smile adorned his lips and blotted out the distance with me so that we were only 10 cm away. Oi, in the script only given 20 cm and why this girl did not follow what the script said.
“Cut!” Laily's voice stopped our actions and we became ourselves again.
“Kayla, the part you're fisting is his arm, not his chest. Alex is in pain. And that distance, it should be 20 cm, not 10 cm,” complained Laily and the girl just nodded lazily. Tyo came up to me and gave me some mineral water.
“This sister.”
“Still.”
“So Alex is still sick?” I shook my head and Tyo left me to do what we did just now. Today, we did drama rehearsals in the hall and had already obtained the approval of the principal to use us for drama practice. I admit, he is talented in acting, except during the tour incident the other day. I better avoid it because I did that and I might be labeled as first kiss thief. My face immediately reddened when it happened and I was surprised not to play when someone patted my shoulder. I breathed a sigh of relief when the one who did it was my best friend.
“Napa?”
“Nothing, what's up?” Andre pointed
towards the new disciple who was staring intently at the girl and I ignored her as if they had happened to nothing.
“No helping?” I flicked my shoulders and Andre pushed me forward giving the code to mediate them.
“Not me.”
“The main trigger they fought was you, right?” Andre stared intently and I moved with heavy steps. As I looked towards them, it felt like nostalgia as if I had gotten used to their actions. Maybe that's just my thinking. Once there, I pulled their back collar away so the conflict wouldn't continue.
“Keep the two of you,” my middle and get narrated right on my forehead by this weird chick. The new student came up to me and I prevented him from causing any more commotion.
“I know you guys aren't dating because you guys are hostile,” the fad and my brow is raised next door then look towards the chick. Apparently, the girl understood my gaze and started the action.
“Anna, no one knows in the future we continue to be hostile or not. We were dating purely because of our feelings. Why don't you take it?” Kayla explained the origin, but slightly hurt it then knocked on her chin.
“Or maybe you liked it since first sight?” Bingo. The new disciple's face instantly turned red, the same as when Kayla was with me.
Kayla smiled and clasped the new student's shoulder and whispered something and then intended to leave us, but the new student clasped his arm tightly until the owner grimaced with pain.
“I, you, and Alex have been friends since childhood and I know everything about Alex. I should be next to him, not you who just cross his life.” The new disciple immediately let go of his grasp and left the truth that confused me.

Silent coloring my empty classroom was springing up because everyone had gone home a few hours ago. I pulled out a book called *The Successful of Pity* People and read it quietly and before a while, a pat on my shoulder shocked me and I stared flatly at who did it.
“The roof is very flat, relax aja bro,” greet Arnold and take a seat near me and sit while looking at the book I read.
“Wih, great actually read this book. High School children today are reading novels, let alone girls who really want to read novels.” I just stared flatly at his comments and continued the activities that had been delayed.
“Loe was her childhood friend Kayla huh?” The question stopped me from reading the book and I put it down and looked at it flat.
“Bukan”
“What did Anna say was a lie?”
“Find out yourself.” I tidied up the remaining items on my stool and intended to leave them, but she pulled my bag.
“Don't be a cowardly man at a time like!” His statement just made me turn my head and stare intently at him.
“I just knew him and this has nothing to do with you,” I replied flatly.
“I do it because I care about him.” I smiled cynically and saw his veins come out holding the anger that had reached the crown.
“Peduli? When viewed from your current attitude, you like it,” my duty and unmistakably, a thin tinge on his cheek revealed my conjecture.
“I know if I have no place in his heart because he still can't open his heart because Dion,” he replied in annoyance and I just listened to what he said earlier.
“Why not try for revenge?” A wry smile etched on Arnold's lips seemed to indicate he was a coward.
“Sorry.” That's the only word I can tell him.
“Sorry why?”
“Sorry to have been his friend and not knowing the dark side of Dion,” I replied flatly, but it was hard to say.
“It's not your fault and maybe, I will express my feelings again to him,” Arnold said as he patted my shoulder. I nodded and put the bag on my back and left it in class. The journey from the corridor to the parking lot feels very far, even though the distance is not too far. I thought about how Kayla would react when her best friend Arnold expressed her feelings for Kayla.
“Ah, why think about it? Even if they do, it's none of my business. It's just, what Arnold wants to do, makes me still think about the future. Ah, are you ready to block the man's attempt to express his feelings?” I clashed with my own thoughts to the point that I saw from a distance the girl was waiting for someone.
“Maybe my hallucinations alone,” thought to me and as I passed by, at a glance his voice seemed to state that what I was thinking was real.
“Alex.” I looked up and saw him looking at me. His gaze made me fixate for a moment and wanted me to hold in my arms to calm him down. Hais, why are my thoughts just getting worse? A second later, a mischievous smile was engraved on his lips and I could guess that he was cheating on me.
“Ahahahahahaha, you are very weak against girls. How can you face them if even this small thing is all you get lost? It's worth it, Young Master Alex couldn't recover from his phobia,” he explained and I let out a short sigh.
“It had nothing to do with my phobi,” insistent on me in a cold tone.
“Of course there are, early healing phobias like you will consider all the girls need help because you consider them to be meek creatures. Such a nature is true, but some women abuse the nature for their own benefit. So, consider what I am doing right now as a lesson to you,” he explained and this time, I cannot say anything because what he said is true. I forgot the fact that he was a mediator so I could get well. A small smile was engraved on my lips and intending to head towards the parking lot, but his hand pulled my bag and said something that confused me.

Arriving home, I went straight to my room and took a shower to relieve my fatigue. After taking a bath, I went downstairs and found Mother preparing dinner. Quickly, I helped Mother prepare dinner and Mother smiled. Just this time, I saw Mommy smiling and of course this is good news for me.

“Please open the door,” Mother and I tell you to go to the door and open it. How shocked I was, but I looked coldly at who was coming this time.
“Is that Dad? Tell him to come in.” Actually, I wanted to flatten this door and not let the man in front of me into the house. But for Mother's sake, I'm withstanding all my frustration for tonight alone.
“Log.” The man came in and I followed him from behind. Mother's face beamed to find the man coming home.
“New home? Better to eat first here, Farhan also sits also yes,” persuaded Mother. Actually, my appetite has disappeared since the arrival of the man who ruined my life and Mother's. However, for the sake of Mother's smile, I have to endure all of this. The mother who had sat down took a side dish for the man and the man sat down followed by me who wanted to take food there. Then, we prayed before eating and eating Mother's cooking. There was only the twang of the spoon and fork collided with the plate and finished eating, the atmosphere returned to silence.
“How is your school?” One question left me silent for a moment and trying to scale my emotions.
“As usual,” I replied coldly and the man nodded.
“Why is Dad coming?” The man I called Dad looked at me and I don't know what his gaze means right now.
“Because Rayya asked for it. I heard that your phobias are relapsing and, incidentally, you're close to a girl. Why and who is that girl?” ask Dad.
“Not Dad's business and from where do you know?” askaku.
“Amira and your friend said it. Maybe they're a little upset because your phobias won't heal if you get close to the girl.” I clenched my hand to hold back my current emotions.
“Instead, the girl always helps me and vice versa.”
“Like a mutually beneficial symbiosis?”
“More or less,” I replied coldly. The atmosphere was quiet again because there were no more questions asked by Dad.

“Please open the door, baby,” Mother and I told you to move from the dining table to the front door. Who's coming home tonight? Andre's? No way, he usually comes here when he feels at home and usually sends a message to me. I opened the door of the house and how shocked I was who was standing at the door at the moment so I could not say anything. He showed his trademark smile and it was clear that this was not my hallucination.
