She's just an ordinary girl. At least he had no talent, nor the privileges he was born with. The only thing he can be proud of is his effort and hard work.
He's never giving up.
It was because of his hard work that he was able to reach the top, at least in his own class. He became the class leader because his grades became the highest of all the students in his class. He also became a member of the disciplinary committee after getting a recommendation from Mr. Alex. Everything he got with hard work.
However, his position is beginning to be threatened. A student from her class begins to demonstrate her true abilities. The student had just solved a case right in front of him. He was amazed when the student solved the theft case in the OSIS room. Little by little the awe turned to anxiety.
Had the student used all his abilities on the replay later, he would have lost. Therefore, he felt he had to prevent that from happening.

A week has passed since I finished the persecution case in Class B.
Today will be a Literature quiz. Quizzes are held so that students can prepare themselves to face the problems that will come out at the time of UAS later. When I got to class, I found my best friend Maya sleeping on her desk.
I muttered, "When it's morning, but he's asleep."
After putting down the bag, I took a quick step towards the Library before the entrance bell rang. The library building is located behind the main building, right next to the canteen and ice cream shop. So I had to step foot a little far away.
Upon arrival at the library, the atmosphere of peace was increasingly felt. The coolness came from the air conditioned room. On each shelf, books are neatly arranged, according to color, type, and alphabet. It feels good to see the order of the book. The Rajawali High School Library has quite a lot of books and complete. I'm heading to the Literature shelf, to find the book I'm looking for. The Basic Literature playbook.
I found it, on the literary shelf left one book, the book I was looking for had a beautiful and thin cover. I think this is enough for today's quiz material. I immediately headed to the loan department, to list the book on my loan list.
Quite a number of students were queuing up today, so I had to wait a while before my name was called.
My name was finally called. I borrowed the book now. After leaving the Library, I intend to go to the cafeteria to spend my time reading this book.
The school cafeteria was now crowded, so there were not many empty seats left. I found one in the corner of the room.
Before ordering, I left my book on the table and went to the ordering section to order two doughnuts for a stomach booster. When I got back to my desk, I was looking for my Sastra book that I had put on the table. But it vanished without a trace.
I need to calm down and ask this to the Employee on duty, I thought.
A woman passed near my desk.
"Mother Mary, did you see the thin book on this table."
For a moment he looked at me. He seemed to remember something. "Let me remember, it seems I saw a student holding a thin book as you described it and going out."
I surrendered. The book has vanished.
I looked out, and found Amelia enjoying a steak ice cream on the doorstep of the canteen.
"Mel, did you see someone out carrying a thin book?"
He turned his face away. "I don't know, I just got here. I've been in class."
"really?"
"If you don't believe it, yes. Obviously, I can't steal your book."
He left indifferently while licking the ice cream in his hand which was starting to melt.
I approached him slowly. And by gathering courage I tried to touch his back.
After I touched his back, he turned around. "Hey Aria, what are you doing?!" She's upset.
That thing scared me. But I try to gather courage. I have to fight my fear.
"Amelia, you're the one who took my book."
That's the word I told him. For a moment we stared at each other in silence.
He looks pissed "Buktinya? Don't accuse someone without proof. Otherwise I will arrest you as a member of the Disciplinary Committee."
Isn't that an abuse of power?
The Disciplinary Committee is a body that deals with the safety and discipline of Rajawali High School students. They're like cops. Some of the members helped Brother Virga drag me into the OSIS room a while ago. I think that also includes abuse of power, right?
No. gabe. That's not what should be happening now.
"You said you just got here. The ice cream you bought melted. That means you've been buying it for a long time, so you've been here since. Second, your attitude became a little angry when I asked, but I didn't accuse you."
"Hey I'm not mad!" He said it angrily, contrary to his own words.
But that's not the case, I thought.
"This is the last piece of evidence, how do you know my book was stolen? I didn't tell you about it. I don't accept the answer that it's just some kind of premonition, luck and such."
Amelia took a slow breath. For a moment he was silent.
"I thought if you used all your skills like when you solved the mystery of the theft in the OSIS room or even like today, my position as a rank one in the class would be threatened. Therefore, I'm trying to prevent you from learning." He finally confessed.
"I'm not as smart as you think." He seems to praise me too much. Though I myself forgot that today there is a Literature quiz, that's why I came to the library early in the morning.
He smiled "Alright, I thought you'd forgive me."
I'm nodding. "of course. It's just a trivial matter."
"So, I'll return this book later after a repeat."
Waita minute.
"Hey! It's cheating. Please return it now. I need the book too."
I stared at my watch. Twelve minutes later the bell rang. "Please, there's no time anymore."
Amelia insisted on returning my book later and ran away. Women are a bitch. Unfortunately I never dared to fight women. In the end I relented and let him go with my book.
I could only realize that my time reading books was over. With resignation I enjoy my donut which began to be shrouded in flies.

"Well, whoever's done can come out."
Some students immediately collected a quiz paper sheet. I am one of those students who have finished it.
Actually, what he gave was easy. I can answer all of his questions quickly. However, I had to control my grades so as not to be flashy. High marks will make me flashy, I already gained valuable lessons at the time of the entrance exam. While the bad value can risk hampering me in the future. So the best result is to get value in the middle.
After I finished, I read a novel I borrowed from the library. Some disciples had left this class so the atmosphere here was quite calm. Half an hour has passed. It's time for me to go home. I put my writing equipment in order before I go home.
"May."
Someone called me. "Who are you?"
"You don't recognize your own class president?"
Class leader? Oh maybe this guy was told by Aria yesterday. So he told Aria to persuade me.
"A..what's up?"
I tried to smile while predicting what this girl would do. However, I decided to say something. There is no harm in being honest.
"Are you busy?"
I'm shaking. "After this I'll be home."
"Good."
Suddenly he pulled my arm and carried my bag. He took me somewhere. At that moment, all I felt was regret.
* * *
I can finally breathe. Today's Literature Quiz went well. I didn't have time to study this morning. Ah, of course it's just a joke.
How could I breathe a sigh of relief, when at the time of the quiz there were many questions I could not answer. I can only come up with the results later.
I hurried to the school cafeteria. I hope my favorite doughnuts haven't sold out.
"Male!"
Someone called. She's a shitty upperclassman, Virga's sister.
"Ayoo eat with me."
"Am I going to be treated?"
He nodded and pulled me to the table. I could not refuse the bribe of the two chocolate-flavored donuts he had prepared at the table. The sweet and fragrant taste of chocolate donuts made my saliva almost drip. By the time I ate it, there was a slight crispy taste in every bite of it. It really delights the world.
"So what's necessary?"
"none. I just want to get to know someone who has caught the chairman's attention."
It seems I have attracted the attention of an important person. Because of the various cases and incidents that I have resolved some time ago. Now, Rajawali High School has regained its peace.
"Chairman? You mean the chairman of OSIS?"
Brother Virga nodded.
"So who's our OSIS chairman who's never looked at his nose?"
"Our OSIS chief is mysterious, right? Many have never met him. Even among some members of OSIS, only a handful of students know the figure of the chairman of our OSIS."
Not like other schools. The members of OSIS at Rajawali High School are directly elected by the Principal. The students selected are the students who have the highest marks on the entrance exam, and the semester replay for the second and third years. Because of this, OSIS has considerable authority for students.
They can even dismiss students who are considered naughty and disobedient. Therefore, I cannot underestimate this second-rate student sitting before me. He succeeded in becoming the secretary of the OSIS because of his satisfactory value.
"Well, but because of the head of OSIS like that, all his duties were left to me. While he's busy hiding himself." Brother Virga took a long breath.
A group of students walked compactly towards the canteen. They walked towards the large empty table in the middle of the canteen. It was like seeing an important person. One of them looked towards us.
"Who are they? It's a storm."
Brother Virga showed his scary little laugh. "They are a faction of the former head of OSIS, Noah. Unfortunately they have been replaced by new students this year."
The student named Noah glanced sharply at us. Although it was only a glance, its glare was so sharp. There was hatred in his eyes.
"She's staring at us intently" I whispered.
Brother Virga laughed a little. "just ignore. They may be in a dick because I've defeated them. In terms of grades, I'm the highest in my class."
Virga said it with pride. He did not even hesitate to puff out his chest proudly.
"Because they were dissatisfied, it was rumored that they were planning a coup against OSIS."
For a moment I was stunned. I can't believe that OSIS is going through something difficult right now. Especially if some cases have just been completed.
By the way a case problem....
"Is something bothering you?" ask Brother Virga.
I'm shaking. "I'm just wondering, how was 26A yesterday?"
I purposely used the code to prevent others from knowing the meaning of my words. At least I should be vigilant.
"She was suspended for a week and got a warning letter."
So anyway. Because today has been a week it means Manuk has returned to school. I thought the OSIS was going to get him out, but apparently they were softer than I thought.
"Ehem. Can we join?"
Brother Virga and I were surprised by the arrival of an uninvited guest to our table. Amelia stood with someone I never thought would go to the cafeteria.
