Tania goes into class and has two best friends there, Casey and Ann.
"Oooooo.... Look who didn't come late today." teased Casey. Tania just put on her timid face and sat down in her chair.
"Tumben quickly." asked Casey who was now standing next to Tania.
"Because Andy's brother is nosy" Tania said. He smiled slightly as he remembered the incident this morning.
"Sir andy? Why Andy's sister?" ask Casey again.
"He knew that when I woke up, I would always see a wall clock in my room. He sped up my bedroom wall clock 30 minutes faster. Just imagine how I was in a hurry to get up. It's still seven in the morning." lamented Tania.
Casey and Anne laughed. "Waahh Andy's great. It should be like that every day."
Tania was back in a frown. Before long the class became even more boisterous. In the classes next to Tania's class was also boisterous. From the boisterousness of all the girls, Ian and Kei appear. Ian came up with as usual, a face full of smiles and friendly. The opposite with Kei being flat and cold.
Kei glanced at Tania for a moment before finally sitting in his chair. Tania did not even look at Kei in the slightest. Tania smiled at Ian.
"Hi, good morning." said Ian kindly.
"Morning" said Casey and Tania together. Only Anne did not answer.
Ian stopped next to Anne's table and lowered his body so that his face was parallel to Anne's face sitting on her stool. Ian smiled with a killer smile.
"Morning, Anne." Ian's greeting was unusually gentle. Their faces are very close. Anne who was shocked began to misbehave.
"Eh? Good morning, Ian." said Anne nervously. His face was already flushed and his head was bowed. Ian, who saw Anne was misbehaved and embarrassed, smiled sweetly and stroked Anne's head gently. Anne's body froze for a moment.
"The funny thing is." said Ian and went straight to his chair.
Tania and Casey who saw the incident smiled meaningfully. They never saw Anne that big. Anne has never been so attracted to men. He was only interested in books and science plus mathematics. This time they saw the other side of Anne.
"Ian, I support you. The spirit..!" Tania.
"Me too" said Casey.
Ian simply brandished his two thumbs and laughed amusedly.

Tania POVs
Bell break has sounded. Finally...my body was sore and my brain began to curl because all I saw from earlier was just a dizzying mathematical formula. I stretch my muscles.
"Tania, please help me get the books to the teacher's office" said math teacher Sussan Harper. I looked up and stood up straight away.
"Yes ma'am." I said limp. Ms. Harper left the class immediately. I saw a pile of books on the teacher's desk. Ughh must be heavy.
"Casey, I'm going to the teacher's office first huh. Wait for me in the cafeteria and don't go anywhere." I said.
"OK." answered Casey. "Can you bring all those books? Want me to help you?"
"No, I'm sure it's not too heavy. After all, some say that if we do the teacher's orders we want to seek the teacher's attention." I said by emphasizing the word search. "So you better not help. Later you also said to seek the attention of the teacher."
I glanced at Kei with the tip of my eye. He just remained silent and did not react.
"Who said that?" Casey looked confused.
"Bear the poles." I said indifferently and went to pick up the book and headed for the teacher's room. Casey who knew who the polar bear was just nodded and glanced at Kei for a moment.
The teacher's room wasn't too far from my classroom but this time I felt the teacher's room was very far away. Maybe because this time it was because I was carrying a stack of tall books. I tried to look straight ahead with great difficulty as the books covered my face. So I can only see the road once in a while. Suddenly the pile of books shook. I feel like someone took some of the books I brought. I looked to the side and Mark was there. He took half of the stack of books and smiled then left me still dumbassed with my mouth wide open without me noticing.
"Do you still want to stand there?" ask Mark who sees me still standing.
"Ah yes." I said and ran after him a little.
I didn't say a word to the teacher. I feel awkward, very awkward. I rarely spoke to Mark and even before the canteen incident, I never spoke to Mark at all. All I know is, Mark's the most handsome guy in school. All the girls loved it, Casey did too. But I don't really care about him. For me, it's enough with the girls who like it, I don't need to like it either. I entered the teacher's room with Mark and placed the stack of books on Harper's desk.
"Mark what are you doing here?" ask Harper's mom to see Mark at her desk and put down some books. "Did you help Tania deliver the book?"
"Yes ma'am" said Mark.
"You're so nice" Harper's mother said with a sweet smile. Oh my god that teacher. With me it's always been an incredible cynicism but like Mark, Harper's mom is sweet as a puppy. But understand it. Harper's mother was a widow. Her husband died five years ago in an accident. Maybe Harper's mom needs a caress. Patience Tania, this is a test for you. Understand your teacher.
"I'll excuse you first ma'am." I said at last. I don't want to look any further into Harper's mother's frenzy.
"I'm sorry, ma'am" Mark said.
"Yes, thank you dear" Harper said sweetly. The darling? oh my God, this teacher. Tania shook her head.
"Wait a minute" said Harper stopping my steps and Mark. "You're not dating, are you?" tanyakanya. Whats?
"Ti-no ma'am, of course not." I said quickly with an awkward smile. Ms. Harper still squinted her eyes at me.
"I'm not dating Tania ma'am, but I love it" Mark said to the surprise of me half-dead. Why else with the kid? "If Tania wants to, I want to date Tania." Mark smiled sweetly at me.
Whaaaat? what the hell? why is it like this?
"So... How about you Tania? do you want to be Mark's girlfriend?" ask Sims' mother who has joined.
Three people in front of me looked at me with different expressions. Harper's mother with an expression of dislike, with this incident I am sure very much, that mother will hate me. Sims' mother looked at me by raising her eyebrows to tease me and lastly Mark who just looked at me with his charming smile. I will soon be devastated by that smile.
"Ah mother.hahahaha.." I laughed awkwardly for a moment. "Mark was just playing around, ma'am, just teasing me." I said.
"I'm not messing around." said Mark instantly and made my ringleader laugh disappear. "Do you want to?"
"Ahh Mark! stop joking. Not funny." I said. Yeah, that's not funny. But part of my heart hopes that what Mark says is true. No Tania, don't be crazy. Mark is the guy Casey likes. I shook my head. Mark wanted to talk again but Harper's mother cut him off.
"Nicely not Tania. You better learn because your math values are concerning. Even the elementary school kid is better than you" Harper said, pissing me off. Why should I be equated with a child Sd?
"I'm sorry ma'am" I said and immediately walked out of the teacher's room. I don't want to linger there.
"Tania."
I looked up and saw Mark behind me. She approached me and again smiled sweetly at me. I saw his bright blue eyes and his dark brown hair. O God.
"You want to think about it, right?" tanyakanya. Damn why is he still talking about it.
"I've already said-"
"Mark.." call someone. Lani came over with a spoiled smile then poked her hand into Mark's arm. Mark sighed harshly and threw away his face.
"It turns out you're here. I'm looking for you everywhere" Lani said. If there's Mark, the handsome guy in school, there's Lani, the prettiest girl in school. Lani is famous for her possessiveness to Mark. Well, I don't know what their relationship is, but clearly, Lani is always where Mark is and all the girls close to Mark are going to be on the official line.
"What are you doing with him here?" lani asked with a dislike look at me. Oh yeah, why am I still here.
"It's none of your business, Lani" Mark said. I saw Mark trying to get Lani's hand off her arm many times. Ihh so possessive. I shuddered to see it.
"What do you see?!" ask Lani ketus.
"Nothing." I said casually.
"Go there!" banish him. As if, I thought.
"By pleasure."
"Wait Tania..." Mark held my hand. I was surprised at it.
"So you're here?" said someone behind me. I turned my head and saw Kei standing behind me. He looked at me and Mark in turn and then saw my hand held by Mark.
"Simon sir called you, quickly go. He's in second grade." he said, then turned his body around. But not far away he turned around again. "Do you still want to stay there?"
"Ahh yes." I said then let go of Mark's hand and ran after Kei. Congratulations, batinku. Although I hate her but this time I thank her for releasing me from that awkward situation.
*****
I didn't go home today. I went to the Cliftwood Forest. Sometimes I like going to the forest. This is the forest behind the school. I walked down that forest path. High trees and fresh air. I continued walking until I finally reached the end of the forest. I could see high hills and ravines. I was near the bottom of that ravine. There were some large rocks there and there was a vast and very beautiful meadow next to it. I stood under a big tree. Next to the tree was a stone that was more than me in height and quite large. I approached the stone. There were some inscriptions engraved on the stone. Only one book caught my attention.
Arthur Reynold loves Amanda Kendrick
Both my parents. If I miss them I'll come here and look at the writing. I sat down and leaned against the rock. My sister said, this is my mother's and father's favorite place. They often come here to see the natural scenery here. Even when I was still in my mother's stomach, they were still here. I miss them so much even though I have no memory of being with them. They died when I was one year old. So I haven't gotten to know them well. Just from my brother's story and photo album.
Bukk!!
I'm appalled. I heard something fell. I stood up and tried to figure out what it was. I walked down that meadow. Something was moving on the rocks. I tried to get closer. Suddenly I was shocked. I closed my mouth with my hand. I saw a dog that was quite big, no, very big there. I'm not sure it's a dog or a wolf. He had clearly fallen from the top of that abyss!
