Since I Meet You's

Exams

"Why don't you just find a boyfriend if you're lonely at home?"

"What's? Do you want to be my girlfriend?"

The deg!

Ryan's words attacked me. I couldn't say a word. I can catch it from the tail of my eye, brother Ryan is looking at me. My current position was completely cornered due to my ridiculous question.

Before I could open my mouth, my father arrived and immediately took me home. I could escape this awkward situation. I'm so sorry to ask something like this to Brother Ryan who ended up backfiring for me.

"Sister Ryan, I go home first, yes!?", I immediately stood up and said goodbye.

"Sure, be careful on the road, huh!? Greetings to my father", Brother Ryan rolled his eyes making my hair stand up.

I immediately ran without seeing Kak Ryan's next response and then climbed onto my motorcycle. Dad took the bike slowly, I turned to Brother Ryan and hoped Brother Ryan had left.

But my wishful thinking didn't happen. Brother Ryan remained in his position while waving his hand at me and chuckling. I forgot, Brother Ryan is the nosy type of person. And today I was re-taken, I remember the behavior of Brother Ryan.

If I think about it, it seems like I should be more careful and not get too carried away when Brother Ryan teases me like that. He just likes to prank me and piss me off because it is his ignorant nature.

I almost got carried away because Brother Ryan spontaneously asked me to go out with him. I have to be more realistic about his attitude and also have to be aware of my current position or maybe forever inappropriate with him.

Yes, I had to set such a limit in order to keep my promise to Rita not to date. I'm also worried about not focusing on my priorities if I'm dating. So I had to limit myself to interacting with the opposite sex.

It's been a week since Ryan asked me out. Every time I go home from school I avoid meeting him, and sometimes break time too. But I still meet often when I go to the library, the cafeteria or the student toilet.

I rarely met after school because now I'm on a bike, so there's no need to wait for my dad to pick me up again. I passed each other several times, and each time my heart beat was abnormal.

I was very awkward to meet him, while Brother Ryan remained as ignorant as ever. I thought it would be normal if I didn't meet her at all, but somehow I felt like I was missing something in my life.

Maybe it was because I was used to being colonized by him and often felt annoyed, and now there's no one to harm me anymore. There's a sense of relief and tightness that comes along if I remember Brother Ryan. But as much as possible I dismissed all possibilities and always thought logically.

I don't want to expect too much from others and am disappointed by my own expectations. I remembered my father's message when I felt sad because sales did not sell at the beginning I tried the business.

"N**duk, if you do not want to be disappointed and sad, do not expect anything from others. Try as much as possible to make yourself the best version without wanting a reply", advises father.

"What's that expectation, dad?", I looked at you for an explanation for the words you said earlier.

"Expectation is a kind of hope or assumption you have for others, nduk. For example, fathers help neighbors in the hope that they will also reciprocate to help our families, if we are in trouble" father explained slowly so that I understand.

"Yes if they can help. If it turns out they are not able, we will be disappointed because we expect a reply from our previous help. Help others, make friends and be kind to others without thinking what kind of reply you want to get from them", that's the kind of father I remember.

I nodded and tried to keep remembering. And now my father's advice is completely new I know what it means. I try to follow the example of a father who always helps others as much as possible and try not to expect a reply.

I heard that Class IX has also entered a period of almost testing. So I'm not too worried about meeting with Sister Ryan, because she must be preoccupied with learning and other preparations to choose a school that is the purpose of getting the next education.

With her busyness, I can dodge without Sister Ryan noticing and I will get used to not thinking about her anymore. I'm sure it's the right decision not to see Ryan again.

I also had to study hard so that my grades could go up and still get a scholarship to reduce the burden of my education expenses that my father had to bear. I don't want you to work too hard to meet all our needs by minimizing it through this scholarship.

Tomorrow class IX begins the try out exam, so class VII and VIII lessons will be a little loose because the teachers will be busy supervising class IX. As of right now, my class is empty hours because our physics teacher is preparing for the IX class exam tomorrow.

The whole class was crowded because all my classmates were joking with their friends. I wanted to study, but Rita took me to the toilet. He's a little spoiled, just going to the toilet I have to go with.

Rita and I asked Jordan for permission first before she actually left the class. At first Rita does not want permission and will just leave. But I insist on permission first so as not to be said to be truant, even though today there are no hours of lessons.

Then Rita immediately pulled me because she was in a hurry to go to the toilet. Arriving at the toilet, I waited in front of the toilet while reading the book I had brought from class. Suddenly, Rita called out to me from inside.

"Tikaa!", Rita slightly shouted, probably worried I didn't hear her.

"Yes, Rit? What's the matter?", I knocked on the toilet door to give her a sign I was listening to her.

"I may ask for help, no!?", Rita opened half the bathroom door while sticking her head through the door opening.

"Can. What do you want to help?", I accepted his request.

"Please take my bag dong", Rita showed doubt with a look of bewilderment.

"Why should you take Rit's bag? Someone is missing!?", ask me again.

Rita waved her hand at me, hinting me to get closer to her. As I approached, Rita put her hand to my ear and whispered.

"I'm getting caught again"
