CAN I DO IT?

***

"E~eh?!"

"What did you say?!" 

I was surprised, and asked him again, not believing what I had just heard.

"I-I told you, you should do the same to me."

"As Rei did to the white cat."

Fia answered my question, with her index finger pointing straight at the white cat, who was sitting sweetly on the black iron fence.

Wait ... did I not hear wrong?

Does she mean I should gently stroke her hair?

"Wait for Fia, is there no other way?"

I asked for leniency.

"Ti-Dak!"

Oh, my God, what the fuck. Do I really have to do it?

But wait, I don't think it's a good start. You know, it's still too early?

This incident should be postponed first, until the next chapter.

Arrgh, never mind, I was confused thinking about it. So, just do it!

Because if I don't do it, it could be ruined during my school days.

I don't want that to happen.

But before that, I have to go back to making sure.

"A-Are you sure, Fia ?"

"certain."

Fia lightly answered a very difficult question in my opinion.

I think he's serious about this. But ...

... Ah, the bodo time! don't think long, maybe there's no other way. I have to do it, whatever the conditions are.

"All right !"

I'm agreeing to Fia's terms.

I looked at the situation around, glancing forward and back. I see, this alley we've been through seems lonely, probably because of the narrow Gang.

Huft, okay. I think the green light is on.

Mumpung Gang is still quiet, I have to hurry to do it.

Now, I stepped up, approached her, slowly.

The first step, his face looked ordinary.

The second step, I saw his face begin to turn red. Is she not feeling well?

The last step, I was astonished, why did he lower his face?

Oh yeah, he's right, I just got it. I think he's already given a code, to let his hair be gently stroked.

Now our bodies are facing each other, pretty close, and since his body is a little shorter than mine, I can smell the shampoo he's wearing today.

I raised my right hand, grabbed her beautiful black hair, then gently stroked it.

"Be-Look?"

Ah, goddamn. Why am I talking so not so good now?

Come on Rei, isn't Fia just your classmate?!

"D-Dad. Keep going like this first."

Meanwhile, Fia's hair felt very smooth on my palm, it also felt comfortable, like my hand was covered with silk.

I didn't expect, a woman's hair turned out to be this soft. My hands are moving on their own now.

I felt peace, just by stroking her hair.

"...."

Uh, wait, why am I the one who's even cool? Enough Rei, enough! The smell of the shampoo is even more clearly felt.

I have to stop him.

"Ah, well, the conditions are fulfilled."

I'm afraid others will see me do something like this.

But there's actually something else I'm more afraid of, which is the fear of not being able to control myself.

"So, don't say it later."

I kept my right hand out of her hair.

This time I feel lucky to be able to do something like that. Because before I was afraid and hesitant, about what would happen later if I could not carry out the conditions.

"alright. Let's walk again!"

I step back.

"Eh, wait a minute, there's another one that hasn't been done yet."

Fia held my hand, trying to stop my steps.

"What else?"

I am confused, have not the conditions been fulfilled? What is it yet?

"Me-doing cat greetings like you did earlier."

Fia pressed her index finger against her nose, tapped it, with her head lowered, staring at the ground.

"...."

Eh? Whahuh? What does he mean I have to stick my nose to his nose?

Wait, wait, wait. What the fuck? Come on, it's too early.

"Are you sure, Fia?"

I made sure, hoping his words were just a joke.

"Sure!" 

Aah, shit! These conditions are too difficult. What if someone sees us doing something like that.

But if I don't do it, it's ruined my school days.

Come on Rei, think ... think .. think ....

"...."

Uh! I can't think now.

It's for reputation. I will, ah no! I've got to do it.

I glanced back and forth, making sure that this Gang was completely deserted.

And yes, indeed this Gang always seems lonely, I think so. Since we were in this alley, no one else passed by.

After being convinced that this Gang proved to be deserted, I went back to him. This time, I had to bend a little, so that our faces would cross.

I kept making sure of her .. while both of my hands held her slender arms gently.

"I-Dad, te-sure."

Is he groggy? I mean ... This time he answered it in a bit of a stammer, not like before.

"All right."

For a moment, I gathered a high determination. Because I have to bring my face closer to his.

"Okay, I'm Ready!"

I feel ready.

My hand, which was still holding her arm gently, was now a little strong due to nervousness. I hope this doesn't hurt him.

I started to bring my face closer. When our eyes crossed, he took his eyes away from mine.

I don't care why he's like that, the important thing is that I have to finalize the terms.

I try to get my nose closer slowly.

Distance 50 cm, Fia still behaves normally, which sometimes her eyes occasionally return to look at me.

A distance of 30 cm, Fia again distanced her gaze, with a little distancing her face towards the right.

A distance of 20 cm, Fia now closed her eyes.

A distance of 15 cm, I clearly heard her breathing that started rather quickly.

10 Cm away, I closed my eyes, and kept my nose close to her nose.

I think I'll make it.

I hope no one sees us. Because if anyone else sees us, I'm dead!

Because right now, I look like I'm gonna kiss her, exactly like I'm gonna kiss her on the lips.

I got closer to him, and finally ....

Teet-Teet-Tay!

"Aww!"

I feel pain in the chest area.

Did Fia push me earlier?

I reopened my eyes.

"Rei, let's go!"

"My watch alarm has sounded!"

"Now it's 7 o'clock."

"We're really late now." 

Fia put on a worried face now.

Ah shit, I forgot the important thing, which was the School Ceremony.

School Ceremony, forgive us, looks like we're going to be late.

"This is Fia's bag, let's just run."

I extended a hand.

"Eh, but did you also bring a bag?"

"Don't your bag look heavy?" 

He asked, pointing at my bag.

Yes indeed, he was right, this bag felt quite heavy. I stuffed running shoes, a sports shirt, a small towel, supplies and textbooks into my black backpack.

Beside the bag, I also put it with a bottle of mineral water that I brought from home.

Although it feels heavy, but how else, I do not want him to feel the pain of running while using a bag.

I'm sure he's got bags just like me, because we're both from the Athletics Club.

"Here, it's okay."

"I brought it."

I took his bag.

"Ah, then thank you Rei."

Fia thanked him, smiling.

Wait, I've taken the bag, and I'm confused. How do I take him? Hahaha, I'm stupid.

I thought for a moment, thinking about how to carry these two bags.

"Rei, Come! Said run?!"

Fia broke my daydream.

Hmm, well, I'll just take it like I'm carrying an office bag. I hope this bag isn't broken.

I hold the bag on the top, hopefully the seams are strong when I carry it while running.

"Come on, run!"

"Yeah!"

Since we're both members of the Athletics Club, I'm sure I can get to school quickly.

The distance traveled is about 300 meters again. We're used to this distance, even more.

We're heading to school with a run now.

***

Not long after, we both finally reached the front of the gate. And of course, we came late and probably got punished.

"You're late!!"

"Please come to the field, and gather at the back of the line!!"

The security guard half-screamed, when we had just arrived.

All right, his name is late too. I got the punishment at most.

"It's Fia ... Your bag."

"Sorry if there is .. damage to your bag,"

I was quite tired, with my breath now wheezing.

"Ah iyah .. it's okay .. thanks."

"Yuk, we gather ... behind the line." 

"Yeah!"

I nodded, while looking at Fia's face, which was wet with sweat.

Besides, somehow I was attracted to his face like that, it looks very natural, without the powder coating that covers his face.

Then we both headed to the back row.

I saw, in the back row, a woman in glasses, with a french braid hairstyle, placed in the front, standing on her back against the backs of the students who were attending the ceremony.

The woman is Indri Fauziyah, the head of OSIS at this school.

"Hey you guys, let's line up here!" 

Indri Fauziyah, the Chairman of OSIS, shouted to both of us.

So, we both went into the back row, looking down with resignation, waiting for the punishment we will receive later.
