Students From Whiteroom

Between 'I' and 'I'

The bell has been ringing for a long time.

I ran down the stairs and down the corridor with anxiety. But I still tried to take the time to go to the cafeteria because of my promise to Maya.

Actually I have also been convinced that at this time the teacher has entered the classroom. So, I went to the cafeteria and no, it didn't make any difference. I'm staying late. And, as I thought, Mother Yuri has entered the classroom. She's Alex's wife.

When I arrived at the classroom, the entire student stared at me who was standing at the mouth of the door.

“I'm sorry for being late.”

“So, why are you late? Depending on your reasons, I could have banned you from following my lessons like Maya.”

I don't think I'm going to follow his lessons. I can't make my detective activities in the OSIS room an excuse. I also can't explain that I just came from the cafeteria.

Waita minute? Maya wasn't in class either? It's freaky. Where'd he go. Not that I'm worried about him. However, my hunch is uncomfortable about this. I don't have time to worry about it. Because now the real problem is in front of my nose. Ms. Yuri is waiting for my answer.

My cold sweat began to pour out. I can only be silent waiting for fate with resignation. Now, I feel frightened by the sharp gaze from Mother Yuri.

“Actually I...”.

Bu Yuri's phone rang. I am grateful that it saved me from this tension.

After he received the call, a moment later he smiled. "Said you helped the OSIS. Even though they didn't explain what help you gave, they called me so you could get into my class. That means you've done something really big for OSIS. You can sit."

I'm relieved. As I was about to enter, Mother Yuri stopped me. "What's that in your hand?"

It's shithole!! I forgot the drink I was holding.

"I.this...."

"Where did you come from?" Yuri's mother looked at me sharply. He's waiting for my answer.

I feel very nervous. The gaze of the students in the class seemed to pierce to the heart.

I will confess my actions. "Ka."

Yuri's mother "You know what the punishment is?"

"I'm sorry. I'll accept the punishment of not following Mom's lessons. Pe..excuse me."

I immediately rushed outside the classroom and looked for Maya. The ice on the drink began to melt. The cold will go away if this drink is not given to the girl immediately. Where is he actually. Think Aria. Use your brain now. Before he was reading a book, maybe he was there.

I ran down the hallway. I finally arrived at the Rajawali High School library. There are no students here, because the learning is ongoing. There was no one but a girl sitting in the corner of the room. Her tiny body made anyone who saw her want to protect her.

He seemed to be reading a novel in his hand. I tried to sit next to him without bothering him.

"May."

"N.nih your drink. I bought it."

His eyes look sparkling. "Te.thank you."

He closed the book to his face. My heart was pounding again watching him blush in shame. Now, maybe it's my time to accompany him. Not that I wanted to, just that there was a riddle I had to tell him.

Maya is seen breathing deeply before finally saying, "so there's another riddle for me?"

A nod from me initiates the conversation. I also explained the case of persecution that I had just solved. However, of course, it was easy for him to solve my puzzles.

After school I got a short message from Virga.

“My mistreatment of Asuna turned out to be Manuk. Take the doughnuts in the canteen I bought. Besides, you have also earned my gratitude. We are very helped. - Virga”

Today Mother Yuri taught. Of course I ditched this time because Ibu Yuri's learning was very scary. I don't like it. So I decided to go to the library so I could read the novel in peace.

The book I borrowed from the library was great. This time I learned there was a lot I could get out of the novel.

I started to get immersed in the world of the novels I read. Sayup-sayup heard someone's footsteps. But I don't care. I thought it was just a security guard patrolling.

I continued reading the novel in my hands. The fun scene had just begun, when Holmes was going to an area. He discovers a variety of random things that surprisingly become clues to solve his mystery.

"May." A soft voice called to me.

As I turned my head, a student sat next to me with an ice drink. He looks nervous. His face was also flushed. When our eyes met, he quickly turned his face away.

Seeing her nervous wanted to make me laugh. But I tried to hold it as hard as I could.

He handed me his drink. Ah, I remember. I told him to buy me an ice drink.

It seems his nervousness is growing. And it made me want to laugh more. The book I was holding closed to my face to hold back my laughter.

What is this feeling? It was the first time I felt this happy. "Te.thank you."

I have to catch my breath. "So there's a riddle for me?

He's nodding. I enjoy this time. I can imagine myself being a holmes in a book. With a few clues, I had to solve this mystery. So that I can enjoy this time a little longer.
