Special Blood: Slyther's

Justin is making a mess

At four in the morning I woke up. Damnit damnit! I had a nightmare, I'm sure even though I don't remember what dream I just had. It's still very early in the morning and I'm trying to go back to sleep. After fifteen minutes of closing my eyes, I did not go to sleep.

So I decided to wake up. I went to the kitchen to drink a glass of water. As I headed to the kitchen I overheard my Mom and Dad chatting. The goals of their conversation are heard.

"Ma, it's almost a red moon. What should we do?" My dad sounded panicked. I decided to eavesdrop.

"Emm .. as always, Pa. Pretend like nothing happened. I don't want to worry her."

My forehead folded. What are Mama and Papa really talking about? what does the red moon mean? When I wanted to eavesdrop longer suddenly there was an oyen approaching me. She was my pet cat– was hairy and orange and white, so I named her oyen.

Oyen leaned over my pampered foot and meowed. I motioned for Oyen to be quiet, by sticking my finger on the lips.

"Pst.. Oyen, quiet!"

However, it was known by my Mom and Dad. "Killa, are you there?" Mama says. I finally decided to come out of hiding.

"Yes, Ma, it's me" I said.

Mama glanced at Papa before questioning me. "Why are you awake?"

As I walked closer I answered. "The nightmare, Ma. So I can't sleep anymore."

I grabbed the glass on the table, filled it with water and drank it in one gulp.

"Well, Ma, Papa left first." Papa hurriedly departed after finishing his black coffee. It's still very early in the morning and my father has gone to work. Papa is a very hard man.

After Papa left I asked Mama. "Ma, how come Papa left so early in the morning?" I'm curious.

"That's because Papa's place is quite far from here," replied Mama while cleaning the cutlery that Papa had used.

"so yeah. Aren't you tired, Ma?"

"Of course it's tired .. but it's for us, baby." Mama stroked my hair.

Mama's right. So I can't let Papa down!

···

Today is Mr. Ferdi—Wali's classku—Geography lesson. He taught in front of the class very kindly. Mr. Ferdi is a fun person, he teaches while occasionally joking with his students.

But there's one that bothers me this time. In the middle of his lesson was a student who actually slept. It was Justin.

Despite knowing so Mr. Ferdi just let it go, he's gone too far. He should have been more assertive with kids like that.

I was feeling a little annoyed, but I just let it go because I didn't want to get into any more trouble with her.

Until Mr. Ferdi's lesson is over, Justin is still asleep. He woke up when the break bell rang.

Because it's time off I invite Faki to go to the cafeteria. I'm already hungry. "Faki, let's go to the cafeteria" I said. However, Faki did not respond, he instead put his body on the table.

I shook his body while saying. "Let's hunt, hunt a lot!"

"You just go there. Now ... I'm not feeling well" he said in a weak tone. Indeed, since the morning Faki looks pale, I did not think he would be really sick. Usually once the hour of rest rang out he was instantly excited as if all the illnesses in his body were disappearing.

I sighed, I had to go to the cafeteria alone. I did not socialize with classmates, so I was only good friends with Faki.

"You'd better go to the UKS" I told Faki before dropping out of class. Faki did not answer him at all.

I alone went to the cafeteria, jostling with other disciples just for the sake of bread packs. After I got it I went back to class. I purposely bought a lot of bread for some I gave to Faki. I hope he will heal by eating it.

However, when I arrived in class I did not find Faki. Where's she? is he going to the UKS?

I asked another student who was already in the class. "Friends, did you guys see where Faki went?"

Then a student in glasses answered. "He left, he said he was going to the UKS." The woman is the class leader. Name's Nina. Her hair was fringed and her appearance matched perfectly with her position as class president.

I sat back in my chair, then opened a plastic bag containing five packs of bread with various flavors.

"I'll give it to him later when I meet him. Faki would be happy."

As I was devouring my bread I suddenly heard a commotion from outside the classroom. Students who had been in the classroom immediately flocked out. The commotion came from the next class.

Out of curiosity I stopped my eating and went straight out. While outside I saw a lot of students crowding around watching before there was a teacher coming. And then the crowd immediately dispersed. We were told to go back to class.

I entered the class without knowing what the commotion was. I was very curious.

"Justin's fighting with the next-class kid."

"... He says he's now taken to the teacher's room."

I overheard another child's conversation. So the commotion was Justin apparently. Why does that kid always have problems.

The bell rings indicating the time of entry. Within minutes the class was back. I kept the bread I had bought in the bag and just a moment later Justin went into the classroom with Arka and Alicia.

There was a slight bruise on the corner of Justin's lips. Apparently true, he was fighting, I don't know what the motive was. As he walked in all pairs of eyes were on him. The classroom atmosphere is silent.

Justin walked to his desk and after sitting down he went straight to sleep and did not care about the surrounding view. After a few minutes Pak Ferdi entered with a fierce look.

"Where's Justin?" he said so he entered the class.

All eyes immediately stared at Justin who was sleeping on his desk. Mr. Ferdi went straight to Justin and when he arrived in front of him Mr. Ferdi just sighed.

"Justin, wake up!" exclaim Mr. Ferdi firmly.

The one called to wake up immediately. He blinked his eyes before looking at Mr. Ferdi. "What's up, sir?" tanyanya relax.

Mr. Ferdi immediately glared at him. "Now also follow my father!"

"Where?" Justin tilted his head, he looked unconcerned.

"Just come along!" replied Mr. Ferdi firmly. This is the first time I've seen Mr. Ferdi angry.

After that Mr. Ferdi walked out of the classroom followed by Justin behind him. As soon as they disappeared from behind the door the classroom atmosphere was instantly rowdy. They were talking about the incident just now.

Not long after, a teacher entered the classroom. The lesson is back to begin.

.........

Until the time to return home, Faki is still in the UKS. Because I was a little curious about what he was doing I also decided to go to the UKS.

I walked until I arrived at a building with a glass door open next door. I was silent for a moment in front of the building with a plank on the door that read "UKS". I stared for a moment at the building.

I was imagining what Faki's expression would be like when I saw me. I also went inside. Inside I looked around. There were about six beds in this room with a green curtain.

After a while I searched and found him. I saw a boy sleeping while snoring in one of the beds. Faki seemed to be sleeping well.

In this UKS there is no one but Faki, so quiet. I walked up to him, standing watching him as he arrived beside him.

I almost laughed to see Faki's face while sleeping, because his face when sleeping looks funny. His mouth was wide open, saliva bursting out from within, flowing into a stream on his cheek.

"Hey, wake!" I shook Faki's body.

Once the experiment was successful. Faki instantly realized. He looked at me with a dazed face.

"Will not go home?" my many.

Faki positioned himself sitting while leaning on the bed–scratching his head like crazy. Continued by wiping the saliva on his cheek.

He looked around and then breathed. "Originally you know, Killa. There was a beautiful girl here. I don't feel sick" he said with a grin.

I'm the head of Faki. "Just wake up and talk about girls. Basic you!" Faki just laughed. "You're not going home?" my connection.

"What time is it?"

I'm shaking. "No idea, it's time to go home anyway."

"Hm, okay." Faki got up out of bed and then he grabbed me by the shoulder. "Thank you for waking me up" he said with a smile.

I shook off his arm. "Don't hold on to it later I get sick too."

After that we went home together. My mom was waiting in front of the school while Faki was coming home on public transport. My mother smiled broadly to welcome me.

We went home on the bike, it was very slow, and without me realizing I forgot something– I forgot the bread I had wanted to give to Faki.

While in the middle of the road, Mama suddenly asked. "Later birthday, what do you want, La?"

"Kan, it's still a long time, Ma," I replied, "There's still one more month. What's the matter, Ma?"

"That's okay, Mama just wanted to give you a special gift. You made my mom happy."

In my heart I wondered. How is Mama weird?

I said, "As for Mama, I'll give you what gift." Mama was silent and did not answer. There was no more conversation until we got home. Surprisingly again this afternoon my father was already home. Papa usually comes home at night.
