Clara was pensive on the balcony of her dorm room. Staring blankly at the back area of the dormitory which was quiet because it was past curfew. His roommate is also asleep. Some messages from Sinta who kept asking about Arnold were also ignored. His mind was filled with the words Arnold nicknamed Steven the killer. Something Aldo always accused of. He wasn't told anything. Not explain anything. Despite wanting to believe it, his current state made him a little suspicious.
Clara stared at the expensive phone in her hand. He hasn't kept anyone's number except his family and Steven himself. Only his father and mother's numbers he memorized. Steven himself put in his number.
"How's this? Tomorrow starts quiet time. What should I explain to my mother?" mumbled wailing.
Before facing the semester exam, the school does always provide quiet time for a week. Children who live in the dormitory are all asked to go home to gather with family. Non-dormitory ones as well. Ask to stay at home and do family activities.
.
Early in the morning Sinta had approached her room and invited her to class together. Along the way Sinta was not tired of questioning Arnold. So that the restless Clara looked at him bored.
"I also just met, where do I know Sin."
Sinta pushed her lips forward, then put on a face.
"And he asked for your number. He called you no? give me the number, don't be stingy. You already have Steven. How come Arnold can't I approach?" slough it.
The problem was not that Clara did not want to, her phone had been replaced and Arnold's number had of course disappeared.
"I changed my phone. The one yesterday fell while leaving, so the number was also lost," Clara replied in a regretful tone.
"damaged? why is it broken? you had a fight with Steven?" he asked, instead switching the conversation. Sinta is the type who likes to interfere because she is the type of helper, although the original is more like a chatty who likes to interfere in other people's affairs.
"Yes, but it's better, really. So don't talk about Arnold again, okay!"
"Ooh ... Is he jealous?"
Clara smiled, replying until they arrived in front of the class. Entering Clara's class frowned as susana was very quiet. As he looked at his seat, he realized who caused the silence. Steven and two of his classmates sat there. Sam instead sat in his front seat, causing the owner of the chair to temporarily evacuate.
As Clara walked towards them, Sam returned to his seat. Bob and Ted leave the classroom and wait outside. Clara looked at Steven who was also staring at her. It is as if they are connected to their own world and communicate through view.
Steven shifted to the chair Bob was sitting in, the seat of my friend Clara. Let Clara take over her seat.
"Tomorrow all boarding children will go home, school will also be closed" said Clara
"There are additional OSIS activities?"
Clara shook her head, she kept her bag under the table and looked at Steven.
"We also need to focus on learning. Even all children who are athletes are not allowed to participate in any activities. The exam is very important here. Students are focused on academic achievement and values. Especially the top class like you."
"Is that?" Clara nodded quickly.
"Then will you stay home?"
Again, Clara gave a nod in response. Steven clucked once a sign of disapproval.
"Why?"
"You'll focus on the book."
"Of course, I don't want my students to be unplugged. The only way to maintain it is not to make my grades substandard."
"Do you want me to teach you?" bargain Steven. Clara seemed to think. That's a tempting offer of course.
"You must also learn," he refused subtly.
"I don't need that, call me if your parents give me permission. I'll come straight to your house" Steven said.
Clara exhaled slowly before nodding. Steven knew there was something Clara seemed to be trying to be quiet, but Steven knew it was not the time to ask.
"I'm going, see you for a break."
Steven passed by from there before giving Sam an unwritten command. After Steven's death, the class finally became as usual again, noisy. Somehow the atmosphere when Steven was there was really cold and scary. Even if one dropped his pen, he would become unusually nervous.
.
Arriving at the cafeteria, Clara sat down with Sinta. But the arrival of Aldo and his friends made Sinta choose to join other members of OSIS. Leaving Clara alone as Aldo begins to join her desk.
Clara could see the envious gazes of some children whispering about her. Also the deadly gazes of Anya and Lea's gang. Unfortunately, he was immune from the first time. Although every day the number of children who were hostile to him increased, he could only resign. Especially since he established a relationship with the most wanted school. The days are heavier.
"Tumben's alone, where's your bodyguard?" rafael Syndir.
"Sam is not my bodyguard!" clara in return.
"It's dangerous if you're alone, to know for yourself that children are looking for loopholes. Look kan! he didn't even see the trunk of his nose and left you. Where the hell is he?" aldo asked at the end of his snide words.
Clara was silent, not wanting to answer. He doesn't know the answer. Steven gave him no news and suddenly disappeared.
"Have you ordered food?" ask Aldo again.
Clara nodded slowly. His eyes were focused on his last chat with Steven this morning. He was very curious about where Steven went with his friends.
"He didn't tell you?" ask Fajar as if he already knew the situation. "Middle of the lesson Steven gets a message out of who. He was seen in a hurry and just came out followed by his two friends." continued Fajar and began to sip the drink that had just come. Aldo was talking to the canteen guards but remained focused on their conversation.
"Most trouble again," said Aldo curtly.
Rafael and Dawn only glanced at Aldo. Disagreeing but like not wanting to muddy the atmosphere. Bobbi was busy eating like a starving man.
"Why is Big Brother always prejudiced against her?" Cold Clara.
"You're the one who's too naive" Aldo replied no less coldly.
Clara's order arrived, with the feeling of Clara's dowry bribing her fried rice. His face was not even friendly. Aldo was also no less cold, it seemed that his heartache he vented by making Clara hurt as well. The atmosphere at their table was very unpleasant, Rafael exchanged glances with Dawn and Bobbi before choosing to shut up and eat again.
.
Meanwhile, in a hospital, Steven was sitting with three of his best friends in the ICU waiting room. Where his father is being handled. In the middle of the lesson, he gets a message from one of his father's fellow trainers. That his father had a heart attack and was rushed to IGD one of the private hospitals. Once there, his father was rushed to the ICU.
"What's going on?" steven asked, although he was upset, his voice remained calm when he asked his father's partner.
"Call Alex only. Actually it happened after a call from Kemenpora. When he came back, your father was already in a pale state. When I asked ... when I asked .. he said he was dishonorably dismissed for unreasonable reasons. I didn't know at first before a rumor circulated. Also the change in attitude of the team captain these past few weeks." Alex paused his sentence. He looked at Steven with a hint of guilt.
"I think it was him, or one of the kids who bullied you at school. I mean, their parents are very influential. Some ministers ... actually your father once told me that some people pressured him to persuade you to want to date their child. It's pressure for him because he doesn't want to force you. He loves you very much. Your father said it was absurd to force teenagers into relationships because of politics and business."
Steven stared blankly at the floor before chuckling cynically. Foolish all this time that he could not see his own father's problems. He was so busy with his world that he did not pay attention to his father's world being suppressed by the authorities.
Of course, in school there are dozens of children who will make their parents do anything to realize their desires. Moreover, his father is only a national team coach and does not have a powerful person behind him.
"Thank you, Alex. Please stay by my Dad's side."
"Of course, we've been friends for a long time. It's just ... Please look at your father. He needs your support."
"Sure," Steven replied quickly.
"Well... I really don't understand teenagers now. You're also very good, I heard your pretation at school. It seems like the kids are so fascinated they're doing crazy things to be with you" Alex said.
The ICU door opens and a doctor comes out to call the family of a patient who is none other than Steven himself. He came in and heard some of the doctors' explanations. As soon as he came out he was treated with worried faces.
"Father is in stable condition, it's just that she needs special supervision so that she can't move to a regular nursery."
Everything seemed relieved, Steven walked away from them and contacted someone. Staring coldly at the window glass as his call lifted.
"I need someone who can investigate something. A person who can be paid to get information about people in the Kemenpora circle and football organizations. Find out the exact cause and the man behind my father's dismissal" Steven ordered.
"I'm giving you until tomorrow, don't let me down, Jun." Steven added before closing the call.
Steven knew one of the students' parents did this to make him submit to his son. Not knowing to take revenge or get her. They don't know, Steven's not an ordinary teenager who would be scared like a kid. He has been emotionally mature since a long time ago. His brain genius is limitless. He is easy to learn anything, easy to remember anything and very observant in any situation.
His genius made him grow up with a cold and closed personality. Steven's like an enigmatic pandora's box. Even he himself could not set his limits. Everything was flowing and he always found his way. Including destroying the people playing behind him.
