Replacement Lantern

Chapters 11. Replacement Lantern

Come to think of it, it's actually not important to know the real reason behind the breakdown of Boy and Elvan's friendship. The lanterns don't really know them. Nor will their problems affect his life.

But strangely, Lengkara actually approached Boy who was still sitting near the window. While Bagas and Haris who were late prevented, chose to wait near the pool. Boy was still closing his eyes when Lantern examined his face which looked up.

His nose is sharp, his facial structure is perfectly sculpted. Her lips are thick with a natural pink color. And eyes? Until now still closed, enjoying the music behind the earphones attached to the ear. About handsome, Mark of boy group NCT lost! According to Lanterns themselves.

"Gue knows I'm handsome!"

The lips suddenly moved, singing a voice that actually shocked the Lantern. The girl thought Boy was still sleeping, so would not notice his arrival. But it turns out wrong, the guy has caught himself wet.

Stupid and so embarrassing! The lantern cursed, after being caught looking at Boy's face secretly. Just yelling will not make up for the embarrassment. To avoid embarrassment, he decided to sit on an empty chair next to Boy.

"I thought you were sleeping!" said pleasantries. By familiarizing yourself maybe Boy will not misunderstand further about him.

"Who told you to sit there?"

His tone was as cold as the Antarctic ocean, slightly resuscitating Lanterns that turned out to be wrong in taking action. Instead of answering, Lantern was confused to see him who was always unfriendly. Boy spoke with his eyes closed, earphones in the ears still connected to the phone in his pocket.

It was true, some students in the class said. Boy is a quiet guy who does not like to be disturbed, and likes to hide himself. It seems to be a mystery at this school. So according to some students who never saw Boy, but often heard his name.

"It's a public place, anyone can sit here!" The lantern tried to be relaxed, even though he was actually starting to feel nervous. He knew very well that his presence alone was enough to interfere with the comfort of Boy.

"Then you sit as much as you!" Boy took off the earphones in both ears, then left.

"Why are you?" Lengkara's question managed to stop Boy who was about to pass in front of him. "Difficult to be decocted?"

One of Boy's eyebrows shot up, when he saw Lantern's slightly irritated face. Then he bent down, holding both sides of the lantern seat and brought the face closer. "Lo likes me?"

"Huh?"

What kind of question is that? Lanterns sculpting, only this time there are men who dare to cut the distance to less than 30 centimeters in front of the face. A gust of mint-scented wind hit the face as Boy spoke softly. Urgent heart rate Lantern, to race faster than usual.

"Lo likes me?" reset Boy.

"Eng—don't!"

His voice was stammering, filled with doubt in his answer. The surrounding atmosphere suddenly felt hot, fishing for a red tinge that slowly appeared on the Lantern's face. Fortunately Boy immediately moved away, before the Lantern was completely out of breath.

"When you go, don't interfere in my business!"

His attitude returned cold, supported by both hands that went back into the bag of pants. The lantern regretted after being almost fooled by the domineering aura on the guy. Boy was not as quiet as he thought.

Don't you think there are a lot of girls who are victims?

His actions were indeed too bold, especially on a newly known girl. Could it be, Boy often do it to other girls? But it can not be denied, all women will definitely like it, just like the Lantern earlier. The word, paraible.

"Tunggu!" Lentera berdiri ketika Boy sudah melangkah lebih jauh, "Apa kamu sering melakukannya pada cewek lain?"

Boy's steps came to a halt near Bagas and Haris, who were bashful cats, after seeing the incident. Who would have thought Boy could do that to a girl. They even thought that Boy was possessed by the most romantic demon in school.

Without turning back, Boy replied lightly, "Why not?"

The man then left, carrying a faint smile on his lips. Leaving the dumbfounded Bagas and Haris to hear the full answer to the lie. While Lanterns? He clenched his hands, it turns out Boy is just like other playboy guys.

"Haish is quiet from where?" The lantern muttered in annoyance as it walked past Bagas and Haris. Obviously, both men heard it.

"Don't believe! He's not what you thought!" sahut Haris's. Bagas nodded in agreement, even though the lantern did not see him.

"More playboys than I see?" The lanterns were dumbfounded, then the head-scalks.

"He's not a playboy! How to say playboy if dating never!"

The lanterns frowned, half in disbelief with Haris' statement. With a tall, athletic build, good at swimming, good at playing musical instruments and pedii in subjects, it is impossible for a Boy to never date. His face was handsome even if seen from any side, eh!

Haris nodded steadily. "A lot of girls like the same boy, but all rejected. Maybe the rumor that she likes Vanessa is real!"

"Actually you're his best friend, aren't you? Whose time does he like you don't know?"

"Eh, not that! Boy was too quiet" said Bagas. "If there's a problem, he always keeps everything to himself."

There are still many who want Lanterns to ask, but the bell hours of lessons are already heard throughout the school. Nor did he understand why he was so curious about Boy's life. The quiet guy he met for two days.

While behind the walls of the pool room, a woman has been watching. Rona's vexation still lingered since seeing Boy and Lantern talking in a very close distance. The track record of their actions continued to mill around in the mind, and it made him very upset.

"Gue smelled roast meat all around here!" From behind, Elvan breathed in deep air. Then he smiled, mocking the beautiful girl in front of him, Jasmine Oirlyn.

"Silence lo!" Jasmine was still looking towards the corridor, the place where the Lanterns, Bagas and Haris started to disappear swallowed up the distance. Unsure of having to show a jealous face in the presence of Elvan, the most annoying guy in school.

"Gue didn't think Boy really liked Vanes!"

Elvan had seen what Boy did to the lantern. This time not out of jealousy, but Elvan was quite interested in doing one thing. Ever since his friendship was destroyed, he had always wanted to find trouble with Boy. Maybe until the disappointment was completely avenged, until Boy could feel what he felt.

"He's not a Vanes, he's a lantern!"

At the beginning of the Lantern's arrival, Jasmine didn't really care. Even to get acquainted he did not want to, let alone to remember his name. But since the incident, somehow he can remember correctly with the name Lantern. It was as if the name was already recorded in the ranks of the people he hated the most in school. A list with Elvan is about.

"Lantern?"

"New boy!" sahut Jasmine lazy.

"Why are the faces of eleven and twelve Vanes?"

"Lo think I care?" Jasmine rolled her eyeballs, puffed up. Then folded his hands while looking at Elvan. "What do you really want here?"

"Even visitors!"

Elvan rolled her eyes, which instantly made Jasmine want to vomit. They had been dating, maybe only about two weeks. And now Jasmine regretted having been deceived by her seduction. Though Elvan deliberately wanted to make Boy not liked by anyone in this school. That's what he's done to other women who like Boy, for a while now.

"Relude me!" cynical Jasmine. "Far away!"

Elvan chuckles. "What if we reverse it? I still love you!" Her tone was obviously just playful, and it was increasingly making Jasmine go up in black.

"Naj! Far away from my life!"

"I think your love for Boy is huge! Pantes we're just going out for a little while!"

Without guilt, Elvan again reminded Jasmine of his love that was still hidden in silence. It was all because of Elvan. Had Jasmine never been affected by her seduction, perhaps she had already told Boy her heart for a long time. And now, Jasmine was already embarrassed to reveal it.

"No need to interfere in my business!"

"But as a good ex, I should have helped you, dong!" Elvan smiled in mystery. "The name's Lantern, right?"

"Why are you?" If you have shown a smile like that, it is certain Elvan will make trouble again with Boy.

Elvan chuckles. "A little show might be fun!"

"Don't fuck around!"

Elvan held onto both of Jasmine's shoulders which were instantly brushed aside by her. "Gue was just curious, how would Boy react if I disturbed the lantern. That way, you can tell how Boy feels about the lantern."
