Monday arrived. After the ceremony, there must always be an additional reception that makes the legs of Alya and his lazy friends limp. It's been a hot-hot ceremony, having to hear another extra welcome after it's over, they thought.
Alya was tired, but she enjoyed this as well. Because after the completion of the ceremony, there must be a speech from the principal or student section that will show off students who excel and boast of the school. And one of those students was Dimas, who won first place for the umpteenth time in the Olympics, which this time was the physics Olympics he participated in.
When the chief called Dimas' name, Alya immediately sumringah. In the face from afar, Dimas still looks handsome. Especially when Dimas was already holding his trophy and smiling to be photographed. What makes him unhappy is, seeing Dimas take pictures with other girls. It was natural because of the photo session together, but this girl seemed to want to squeeze and take a position for the photo next to Dimas. Looked at, the girl looked the same as the girl Alya saw at that time in the mading. Girls who look more fun when the photo next to Dimas, different from other girls.
"It turns out, he's the odd one looking for a position for a photo next to Dimas, anyway. It's so bad, anyway, Dimas, it's such a bad thing. His handsome and natural smile was like being forced into his being. You girls aren't sensitive, anyway? Dimas clearly looks very uncomfortable," Alya's mind commented. He could only see from a distance and growled silently.
"Bosen ah, that champion. Why use it in general again, anyway. Everyone knows who the champion is. Most often they appear, we no longer care," said Edo rather strongly. So, even though he is in the IPS children's lineup, IPA children can also hear, especially Alya—IPA class 12 whose lines are very close to IPS children.
Alya looked towards Edo. The boy was indeed happy to make troublemakers in front of the crowd. Alya could understand Edo could talk so because he was still upset with Dimas. Alya made sure there were no bogeman marks on Dimas's face. That means, the camp at that time, the superior Dimas, and Edo was still upset by it.
"You can't do that, Edo. Even though the boss, everyone in this school must know who the students are already proud of the school," Alya responded directly to Edo. They were only four banjar away, and with a voice not as strong as Edo, Alya was sure his words were conveyed. He just could not bear to break Edo's argument, he also understood Edo's upset feelings, so he said his proper words and chose a word that did not hurt Edo.
"Makin' males, uh. There's a girl who is belain. Yes you must be very proud, because your guy who is again exhibited for winning the race," replied Edo sewot. His tone raised an octave from before. Apparently, he who was upset with Dimas also put his frustration on Alya. Moreover, Edo brought up the matter at that time.
The surrounding became a storm rubbing Alya. Those who were whispering some of it was clearly heard in Alya's ears.
"Well..., so really this Alya girl is Dimas? I thought it was just a rumor."
At once, a voice sounded that the majority was a nyinyiran. Alya is uncomfortable. Everyone so rubbed himself and Dimas. Maybe not only the 12th grade only heard, but it could get to the 10th and 11th grades, or even, this gossip could reach the ears of the teachers. What if this makes Dimas uncomfortable? Alya who was rumored could only pretend not to hear and act ordinary. Edo's words can not he mubris, afraid even more chaotic.
"Wih..., the cold one's dating? Seriously? Moreover, the same prima donna of the class failed students. I think Dimas's sintered taste is like him, too. Turns out, Dimas just smitten as pretty doang. Humph..., Dimas the elite pretender, turns out to be lowly as well." There was a snobbing tone from the IPA 2 line of children. It seemed that Edo's voice was really strong so it could reach the ranks of the seeded class. In fact, the majority of superior class children do not like to gossip openly.
Alya was previously thick ears, but after her learning ability was brought around, Alya's patience was exhausted. Alya believes, it has nothing to do with face with intelligence. Especially about love. Is it wrong for fools to fall in love with smart people? Instead, what is wrong if a smart person falls in love with a fool? They didn't even insult Alya, they insulted Dimas. Alya is not comfortable anymore. This rumor has certainly reached the ears of the teachers.
Completed kepsek announce the achievements of the students, students who are already allowed to disperse to enter their respective classes. However, Alya quickly disbanded first through the front of the field, close to the outstanding students taking pictures. He even became the first to disperse first. He no longer cares if he is the center of attention. He just wanted to quickly run away and not listen to anything more hurtful than the gossip of the people.
While passing on the field and close to the position Dimas stood, Alya dared to look towards Dimas. And coincidentally, Dimas was also staring at Alya. Dimas had heard the gossip that the children fussed over in the ceremonial row, he looked like he was angry at Alya. Stared so Alya could understand. Alya just stared at Dimas regretfully, his eyes emitting a deep apology to Dimas, hopefully it was conveyed even with just a look.
Furthermore, when he finished staring at each other, Alya was eager to cry. He had not cried for a long time because his life was fairly hard and made him thick with steel. Being a child who lives without a mother, alone at home because his father is busy working and now has to be left in someone else's house, he said, then do not get tired of people insulting him about a beautiful face but his brain does not follow him, tired also labeled as a student failed because he was in his class now, which is now, and many other things that he did not cry even though it was normal to have to cry if faced with it. Now, he wants to cry. Not because it was scorned like before, for Alya it was common. However, being stared at with such a dislike view by Dimas.
And until the class, his tears that he had been holding back were now dripping. He's pretty good at holding it back until no one's seen. He includes strong and not crybaby girls seen by people. He does not want to damage the good image of this one if seen people cry.
It didn't take long to cry, after dripping a few, Alya immediately wiped it off. Then, entertain yourself by watching a funny video on her phone to cheer her up and forget the thing that made her cry earlier. This method is always effective if he feels like crying.
