Shotgun - Sub Zero: HER
Chapter 17
Alisha took a long breath. Trying to calm himself. Its too rude today.
Unasked, his brain rewired the events he experienced today. It started with a flag ceremony that ended in chaos. Not to mention the incident in the Principal's room.
Alisha covered her face with both hands. It feels so embarrassing. Somehow he'll face his schoolmates tomorrow. Slowly his hand stroked his left cheek which was still slightly hot.
Yeah, Karin's ex-slap.
Alisha from the Principal's room, before Alisha could clear her mind, Karin came. Without speaking directly gave him a hard slap on his left cheek. Not stopping from there, Karin also started yelling at him. He accused her of being a traitor. A hypocrite. And a series of other sentences that make the ears hot. Only, Alisha just silently looked at Karin. I don't know why suddenly his brain seemed to hang. Buffering. Error. Or I don't know what the term is.
Alisha just can't believe Karin thinks of her that way. If someone else is accusing her, maybe Alisha can still tolerate it. But, hey. It's Karin. His friend. Best friend.
Alisha breathed back. Biting her lips, preventing her tears from spilling. His head then lowered, looking at his two feet wearing flip-flops he had borrowed from his school mosque. Suddenly regretting the side of his shoes that were lost somewhere.
It was a shoe he had wanted for a long time. Alisha has been patient so that she can collect her pocket money. That was why he felt so happy that he could finally buy it at the Midnite Sale sometime in the day.
"Bye bye, St. Iv*s.." he muttered at his farewell to the Shoe. Feel sad and miserable. Alisha is the injured Maria Mercedes. Huh !
Then look where he is now. Pouting, Alisha knew full well who had left her stranded on the roadside like this.
...
Two hours earlier.
Alisha washed her face. Trying to reduce the signs that he had finished crying. Yes, Alisha was crying in the back garden of the school. Looking for the missing shoe. Crying while squatting in the corner of the park. By ourselves. He knew very well that the cause of his crying was not just because his shoes were missing, but because other things were more important to him.
Feeling a little calmer after taking a few breaths, Alisha then started walking towards Martha who was waiting for her to go home.
"Sha, so be together, right ?" greet Martha. "I called home, asked Mr. Din to pick up the school. At least you don't need to walk far away using that flip-flops, Sha."
Alisha nodded and smiled faintly in response. Not wanting to make a sound because he felt his voice must still be hoarse, worried about being caught if he cried.
Martha let out a little sigh of relief. At least Alisha wasn't quiet. Although clearly visible face that looks tired and a little pale. But Martha said nothing more. Knows well that this friend actually takes time to be alone. Silently, they walked together towards the school gate.
If Alisha walks with a grim face, Martha puts on a fierce face. As if ready to face anyone who dares to hurt his best friend. His heart was still in a dick with the act of Karin who just slapped Alisha and was angry - angry not because.
"Sir Din !" martha exclaimed, calling her family driver who had apparently been waiting, to bring her car closer. Soon the silver Civic glided smoothly, stopping not far from where Alisha and Martha were standing.
"Come on, Sha," Martha asked while holding Alisha's hand. But then his steps were stopped. As he turned around, he saw that Althair was already there. Pulling one other hand of Alisha.
"He came home with me" Althair said calmly.
Martha could feel her other friends starting to notice the three of them. Like they were filming a soap opera or something.
"Alisha come home with me, Althair !" Martha firmly. His tone clearly implied his dislike.
"From now on, he's coming home with me" Althair replied remaining calm. "So just go home there."
"Iihhh... off, Althair !" exclaiming Alisha tried to let go of Althair's hand and failed. "Please ! I'd like to go with Martha !"
"Take you off, Alisha ?! Me ?! Huh ! In your dream, Sha," Althair replied with a smile. Successfully made Alisha swallow.
The next second Alisha squealed as Althair arrived - suddenly carrying her. Not a romantic bridal style. No !!! But Althair carried Alisha by putting her on the shoulder. It was as if Alisha was just a sack of rice that she shouldered. Huh !!!
"Down me, Althair !!!" yelled Alisha, her hands and feet wriggling. "Let me down, Althair !!!"
"Althair !!! Get down Alisha now !" martha exclaimed for free because Althair just continued to walk casually to the place where the motorbike was parked.
While now the audience of Telenovela, his reaction is divided in two.
From among the boys do not accept to see Alisha, the girl who is actually silent - silent often they imagine being their girlfriend, shouldered like that. But if you want to be honest, actually they also want to replace Althair for Alisha's baby. Ho ho ho...
Proceed to the girls' camp. Okay, they're the ones who've been the most excited since the ceremony. In that way, who does not drool can be kissed Althair with hot like that. In front of the whole school again. Waooww.it's more than just romantic, Beibeh ! They must have melted. Uwuwuwuwo... Especially now seeing how Alisha was carried by Althair. Forget about the Althair sling like carrying rice and away from the word romantic. But look at that protruding Althair muscle. Combined with the sweat that flows thinly on his temples and neck. Not to mention his cool abis handsome face. So manly !
It felt like they wanted to shout: Carry me, Althair ! Alisha, she doesn't want you to carry either. Poor, people's children should not be forced. Carry me Althair !!! I want to !!! How very good again !!!
But that was all just said in my heart. Make them can only stroke the chest, please be patient this is a test. Jiahh !
Althair dropped Alisha next to his bike. Not to mention that he had the chance to grab his helmet, Alisha had already run away from him. But Althair easily caught Alisha, wrapped one of her hands around Alisha's stomach and lifted her up, riding on her motorbike.
"Be quiet, Alisha," she said calmly with a face just ten inches from Alisha's face.
Five inches.
Two inches.
Uh, loh ?!!
Realizing the danger that was coming, Alisha immediately covered her mouth with both hands. Making Althair's face stop just an inch from her.
A slanted smile played on Althair's lips. She immediately took the helmet and put it on Alisha.
"Ihh, don't want Althair ! Weight !" exciting Alisha.
"wear first. I'll buy the right one for you" Althair replied, holding Alisha's hand that would take off her black helmet.
Huh ?! Buy a helmet ?! Hey, does that mean Alisha will be piggybacked by Althair again ?! Hell, no !!!
Althair had turned on his motorbike, turned to Alisha and said, "Hand on, Alisha." But bravely Martha stood up to him.
"Descend Alisha, Althair !!!" exclaim Martha.
"So move," he said calmly.
"No ! Get off my table first !" martha said staunchly.
Althair just shrugged his shoulders. Without feeling the need to serve Martha again, Althair immediately run his bike with only one hand. Turn agile avoiding Martha's obstacles and get out of the school gate easily. Martha was unheard of who was still shouting furiously.
...
Alisha could not hold her open mouth. Gawking.
They stopped at a big store in the middle of the city. Althair took him in, entering through a pair of automatically opened glass doors.
Inside the shop was filled with elegant luxurious interiors. The officers were wearing ash suits. While some customers seem fun to choose - choose goods. Their pieces just show the upper class, with various famous brands that adorn his body. Some turned their heads as Althair and Alisha entered. Clearly showing a face did not like to see a pair of SMU children entering their class store.
Alisha felt uncomfortable accepting such a look of disdain. Next to her hand squeezed her uniform skirt. Thought Althair who remained calm next to him. Althair's head remained raised straight, as if defying the obvious reproach and sneers implied. There was no fear or shame in him. Following Althair's way, Alisha slowly raised her head which had always been lowered. Accidentally squeezing the hand of Althair who had been holding him.
"Welcome. Welcome," exclaimed a middle-aged man dressed in dapper clothes, on the name tag he wore, stated: Adi Kurniawan - Store Manager.
He walked around welcoming them, as if they were VVVIP guests. Making Alisha ask questions because since there was not a single employee who served their arrival. Almost everything seemed to be sneering and smiling cynically. As if to think, what the hell are two SMU teenagers doing in their store ?! Are they willing to pay ?! Most just look - just look. Huh !! Troubles ! Uh, but that's a really handsome guy anyway. While the girl... what the fuck, just wear flip-flops ?!!
"Welcome. I am very happy with his arrival" said Adi, slightly bowing in front of Althair.
Without even answering the manager's greeting, Althair arrogantly said, "Have it all out !" and immediately took Alisha in because from earlier they were just standing in front of the glass door.
Alisha gawked at the way Althair spoke. More gawking again because the Manager nodded respectfully and really led out all visitors. Most of them seemed hurt but cleverly Adi asked one of his employees to distribute vouchers for free - just. Well, even the rich do not refuse if it is given free ?!
Alisha looked amazed at the pile of shoes that looked beautiful. Walk close to a pair of displayed shoes and finally take a sip looking at the price on his tag. Chong, Cinn. At such a high price, either Alisha must collect her pocket money for what. Maybe even he should not snack for a year ?!
"Sit down" Althair ordered. Shaking her head, pointed at the sofa behind Alisha.
Asking, Alisha kept following him, immediately felt comfortable sitting on the sofa provided for visitors who want to try his shoes.
"Ah, what can we help you with ?" ask Adi respectfully.
"Search school shoes for girls. His size," Althair fell silent, glancing at Alisha. "37 or 38. Bring me the choice," he ordered again. Directly run with sprightly, even Adi himself came looking for it.
Two minutes later, several pairs of shoes with several models, ready in front of Alisha who again gawked.
What does this mean ?!
Alisha felt even more cengo as Althair leaned in front of her, grabbed her feet and put one of her shoes on.
"Iihhh... What the hell, Althair ?!" alisha was surprised.
"Try it, Alisha. Which is suitable and comfortable for your feet," replied Althair kalem. "here. Just quiet. I'll help you put it on."
"No, no, Althair. Anyway, that's it," Alisha squeezed back into her uniform skirt. "A, I don't have any money to pay for it" he murmured softly.
Althair smiled, replying, "Just calm down. You don't have to pay, Alisha."
"No. I also don't want you to pay, Althair. It's too expensive" argued Alisha, her hands will soon take off the shoes attached to her feet. In his heart, he loved the shoes he wore. So comfortable in his feet. The model is also pretty and simple.
Althair glanced at Adi, who immediately understood and said, "Ah, don't worry. No one has to pay. It just so happens that we have a free shoes promo for students. It just so happens to be the last day for his prom period."
Huh ?! Free shoes ?! Sure these overseas branded shoes are free ?!
"Don't gawk on," said Althair holding back an amused. "So choose which one ?! Everything ?!"
Although in her heart Alisha cheered happily if she could have all those beautiful shoes, but she still knew herself. Calmly said, "Mm, this one is it."
"You're packing again or you're wearing it ?!" bargain with one of the officers.
"Just packing, Ma'am," replied Alisha cheerfully. Feeling the questioning gaze from Althair, adding, "Eh, it will only be used for school tomorrow."
Althair snorted at Alisha who chose to wear her flip-flops again. "Pick those sandals over there. Which one do you like. Rather than wearing flip-flops like that."
"Huh ?! Why is it ?!" ask Alisha. "No, Althair. There is no way to have a Free Slippers program for students. Aren't you ?!" alisha replied plainly, receiving a carton bag containing her new shoes.
Snorting once more, Althair extended his hand. "Come on. We're going."
And without sin, Alisha got up from the sofa and walked towards the glass door. Not caring about Althair's hand hanging was still stretched out on him earlier.
"Ck, you girl, " muttered Althair. But a smile returned to play on his lips.
Althair turned to the Manager who was still faithfully standing, ready to help. "Fired all the employees in the front area earlier," he said in a flat tone.
Adi was only flabbergasted for a second, immediately mastering his feelings and answering, "Well, Zack. Ready." Bowing his respect deeper, knowing who he was dealing with.
...
"Ishh, bebel !" Alisha clenched her one leg in annoyance.
Althair dropped him off in the middle of the road, having previously received a phone call that seemed very important. And now, here he is. Standing pouting on the side of the road with flip-flops at the feet, waiting for the bully brother who has not yet seen the tip of his nose.
"Isshhh ! Watch out for you, Althair," grumbled Alisha again.
Unaware of the pair of eyes that had been watching him ever since he was left by Althair.
