Not the Ex-Friend

Chapter 8 Nightmare Episode 1

After yesterday's affair with Nindi which led to his dizziness answered Della and Mia's questions who continued to ask why her skirt could be dirty with red soil, Bianca stepped in the classroom corridor on the 2nd floor with a slightly lazy step.

His intention this morning he wanted to see Devano and ask about the letter could reach Nindi's hands. Deliberately came around through the parking lot, but Bianca did not see the car that Devano used to bring to the school parked there. He took a long breath. He saw the clock on his wrist. Tumben at 6:25 Devano hasn't arrived at school yet. If until 6:35 Devano has not yet arrived at school means that he has failed to ask Devano because at that hour the school has begun to crowded. It's hard to talk to Devano just the two of you.

After putting the bag in the classroom, Bianca deliberately stood on the front porch of the class while waiting for the arrival of Devano, but until the school atmosphere was getting crowded, Devano had not yet seen the trunk of his nose. Bianca took another deep breath as she saw her watch already showing at 06:45. Drowning he turned around to enter the classroom, along with his gaze that captured the figure of Devano entering his class. Their opposite class positions made Netra Bianca capture clearly the figure she had been waiting for since.

Today the classmeeting event ends and will be closed with the closing ceremony as well as the distribution of prizes. Many children gathered in the field. Bianca, Mia and Della have already taken up positions near the more shady basketball hoops. Some members of OSIS are busy preparing trophies to be distributed, sound tests and arranging a kind of small podium for the establishment of the winners later.

At 8.15 all students from grades 10 to 12 have started to line up according to their respective classes and at 8.30 the closing ceremony begins. The headmaster and the teachers already occupied the front row facing towards the pupils.

Unlike the order of the flag ceremony every Monday, the closing ceremony this morning is more on to the ceremonial event. The message conveyed by the principal about the values of reporting class increases and asking all students to improve achievement. The day after all the students will receive a report of the class increase.

The division of prizes begins with sports activities, followed by winners of matches in the field of art and finally related to scientific work and article writing.

Screen projectors installed near the mini podium occasionally display photos of the performance of the winner of the race.

“And the first winner of the article writing competition with the title The Young The Achiever was won by Bianca Aprilia from class 11 IPS 3,” Mr. Rustam, indonesian Language Teacher High School Dharma Bangsa announces the winner of the article writing competition.

Bianca's friends shouted and clapped for their representatives. Actually it is not new for students of Dharma Bangsa High School considering the achievements of Bianca not only in school but also has reached the provincial level.

Bianca smiled and replied to her friends who invited tos. He went out of line to come forward to receive an award from the school. While standing on the podium and getting ready to receive a certificate from the headmaster, suddenly the atmosphere of the row of silent students and all eyes looked towards the screen projector on the left side of Bianca stood. The headmaster who found a total silent atmosphere turned his head and followed the students' eyes. Bianca who was ready to receive a certificate stopped and followed the view of the principal.

How shocked Bianca looked at the screen on the projector. Not a piece of writing his article, but his love letter to Devano that looks a little muddy.

When all the views are glued to the projector screen, from the speaker there is a sound of someone reading the contents of the letter.

Dear Devano's,

I'm sorry that I interrupted your time by giving you this letter. But it feels even harder to hold the heart after waiting 3 years.

I am indeed a nobody and it is impossible to get the attention of a Devano who has always been an idol of Dharma Bangsa High School, but it feels like I have the right to just talk to my heart that I like you. Not just because we're in High School, but since Junior High I've liked you.

I knew that I had been too bold to declare love for a Devano and it did not cross to force yourself to reciprocate my feelings. Enough you want to receive and read my letter, but if you want to accept my heart really it will be like a dream that makes me not want to wake up 😊😊

Thank you for the time you have been willing to read my heart and hopefully you will not hate me for having dared to send this letter to you.

From me who always admired you

Bianca

The cheers of the disciples from the line began to sound. The atmosphere that was quiet suddenly became violent.

“Wuuihhh the title must be replaced tuh Bi, The Young One Who Loves,” chirps one of the students.

Bianca stared at Devano in her line. His face was hot and embarrassed instead of playing. Devano is just mediocre, not showing any surprise let alone worry about Bianca. Without waiting for the handover of the certificate from the principal, Bianca directly descended from the podium without being able to hold back her tears. He runs to the side of the field but turns out Nindi and Chika are hunting to hold him before getting out.

“Wuuihhhh the proud author of SMA Dharma Bangsa was able to write love letters as well,” Nindi taunted with a little shout and greeted with boisterous voices of other students.

Lia who was standing near the soundsystem equipment for reading Bianca's letter was unable to hold back her laughter. Some teachers tried to calm the students by approaching their ranks. Some of the other teachers were smiling.

“Lepasin,” Bianca rebelled from the stranglehold of Nindi and Chika but to no avail.

While in the class row Devano also chirp. Some of the classmates tease Devano who is relaxed and stupid. Arya who continued to look towards Bianca finally came out of line and intended to approach Bianca who was still held by Nindi and Chika on the sidelines.

“This is just the first lesson because you have dared to talk love with Devano,” whispered Nindi. Bianca was already unable to hold back her tears even though it was not as eager. Feelings of shame, anger and resentment were mixed. He was still trying to break away from Nindi and Chika's hold.

“Please !” Della yells a little and pulls Bianca's hand from Nindi's grip while Mia from her side tries to let Chika's hand go.

“Devano, how to thank not love Bianca?” lia's voice using the mic. The students shouted back.

Mr. Rustam from the front tried to calm the disciples with a loud enough voice. But only briefly the commotion subsided, not long after the commotion returned because Lia's voice provoking with the mic could be heard by all the students. Finally Feliks, the Ketos approached Lia and took the mic from her hand then asked Benni the operator to turn off the mic function earlier.

Della and Mia who managed to release Bianca from Nindi and Chika immediately took her off the field.

“Gue to go home yes,” said Bianca in between her tears. “Please permit to Bu Yuli yes.”

“No need, I can do it myself.”

“So elo do not consider us temen elo hence can not nemenin ?” Mia pouting.

“The school activity is not finished, it will be truant. After all if you both metemenin me, who is allowed to Bu Yuli.”

“Agus. He's the class president.” sambar Mia.

“Lagian ya Bi, if the three of us go home, Bu Yuli would understand lah... Today absences are considered to enter all kok,” continued Mia origin.

“Este lo,” Della menoyor jidat Mia.

Arriving at class, Bianca immediately tidied up her bag and prepared to go home. Della and Mia pack their bags to take Bianca.

“Truly I'm nothing back alone,” Bianca looked at her two best friends with pleading gazes. “Gue wants to own first.”

“Bianca let me anter.” Arya figure is already in class 11 IPS-3 with a bottle of bottled water in her hand.

“Drink first let elo calm down,” Arya give the drink to Bianca.

“Bianca let me anter, elo both urusin aja mak attach. Uh really, right, elo on giving her the name Mak Lampir?” Arya looked at Della and Mia alternately.

”Gue back to class just grab the same jacket bag. Elo don't go anywhere ya.”

“Ber also said Arya, Del. We are samperin tuh Mak Lampir same genknya,” Mia looks furious while clenching both hands.

“Udah is Mi, do not need to be extended. Later even elo made difficult with them,” Bianca calming.

“Eh where can,” this time Della who said. “Ngajak fight tuh Mak Lampir.”

Not long ago Arya had already come back with her backpack and jacket. He pulled out Bianca's hand and stepped out of the classroom.

“Comfort Yes Yes, do not assort lo,” teriakDella when Bianca and Arya are already in front of the classroom door. Arya just gave her thumb.

Arriving in the hallway, the children began to return to class. Bianca slightly slowed down her steps, Arya who saw immediately grasped Bianca's hand and pulled her. Fitting on the stairs they cross paths with Devano who walks with Ernest, Leo and Joshua.

“Where to Bro ?” Leo who passed directly looked at Arya and Bianca who looked down.

“Anter go home first.” Arya pulls Bianca but is arrested by Ernest.

“Van,” Ernest calls Devano who stands in front of him. “Do you have to talk to Bianca first?”

Without looking, Devano just shrugged and continued his steps up the stairs. The four friends exchanged glances looking at Devano's reaction.

“Gue back first Bro.” Arya waved at her three friends and pulled back Bianca's hand.

Some of the students look hard to see Bianca who walks in the company of Arya. At the end of the stairs, Bu Yuli intercepted the two of them.

“Where to Bianca ?” ask Bu Yuli

“Nggg me permission to go home first, Bu.” Bianca stuttered a little and looked down.

“You ?” Bu Yuli looked at Arya.

“I anterin first Ma'am, danger if again upset the road alone.”

“Ya already, directly delivered home yes, do not stop by.” Firmly Bu Yuli.

Arya and Bianca just nodded and immediately headed for the motor park. He gave one of his jackets to Bianca.

“Use to cover your thighs yes, difficult because when riding my motorbike model of the sitting girl.”

Bianca nods and ties Arya's jacket around her waist in a jacket position in front of the new school skirt then rides on Arya's sports bike.
