no matter what the person is, there will definitely be a point of warmth in him
Caitlin Emma Gibson's

Caitlin now sits down and sees David playing the game on his phone without blinking. Without David noticing, Caitlin was looking at David with an intense gaze. Rachel cleared her throat slowly making Caitlin take her eyes off David. Rachel and Stella saw Caitlin's behavior laugh at him, according to them both this time Caitlin's behavior like a thief caught red-handed by the residents.
"Ssttt" Cibir Caitlin with her index finger in front of her lips. But, his two friends who Caitlin had considered as his best friend were still unwilling to stop laughing at him.
"Whispering." After David puts his phone on the table, Rachel and Stella turn to the man. Instantly, Rachel and Stella's laughter stopped.
"Good morning..." Sapa Bu Rani broke the atmosphere between them.
Bu Rani is a Cultural Arts teacher at Tunas Harapan High School.
"Morning, Bu Rani" replied the XI student IPA 1 compact.
"Before we start studying, I'll give you ElisabethPatrisiJar Bu Rani wrote something on the board. "Because now we're learning about music, so I want you to sing together with your friends."
"What?" Caitlin said with narrowed eyes. While David only mince his eyes in response. And some of the students were happy with the group including Rachel and Stella as they sat down.
Caitlin caught a glimpse of David and closed her eyes and grumbled resentfully in her heart.
Oh God, why does it have to be the same ? Ihhh.
Caitlin continued to bite her lower lip and showed a pouting expression on her face with her hand propping up her chin. The girl's activities came to a halt as a baritone voice spoke to her.
"Singing what?" David asked in a cold voice. Caitlin turned her head towards the man, and their gazes met each other. David's eagle eye was able to make Caitlin's eye not blink.
*One second
Two seconds
Three seconds
Four seconds
Five seconds
Six seconds*
David waved his hand before Caitlin to resuscitate the girl from her daydream but failed. Then David patted the girl slowly on the shoulder and surprised her.
"Singing what?" David asked again this time in a slightly slower tone of voice than before.
"Ehh..sing..singing..ehh...nyan-" Caitlin's speech was cut off.
"Singing what?" Ask David again.
"Ehh... Cantor...What is life worth living? You know the song?"
"okay." David replied briefly and then again noticed Bu Rani's explanation. Caitlin scratched her non-itchy look, she was confused by her own attitude.
How am I being this weird?
🌿🌿🌿
The time has shown at two o'clock in the afternoon, it is marked the time home from school has arrived. All students of Tunas Harapan High School were scattered to leave the school.
Caitlin headed to the parking lot where her car was. Today Caitlin did bring a car to school, because she did not want to go or go home to school with Joshua and vice versa. Caitlin also realizes that Joshua can't take it anymore.
As Caitlin was about to arrive at the parking lot, a red ninja motorcycle stopped right in front of her and blocked her path. The man opened his fullface helmet and said something.
"I went to your house." Said the man who was my friend Caitlin.
"Well?" Quick Caitlin response. Not yet able to answer the girl's question, David has put his motorcycle out of school.
"Hissshhhh! Very nice nyebelin.." sizzle Caitlin upset.
Upon arriving home, Caitlin immediately headed for her room on the second floor. Caitlin arrives home, and Joshua arrives with his four friends. They were so noisy that it made Caitlin upset herself.
"What do we do about this, Jo?" Evan asked with a slightly loud tone of voice.
"Whatever" Joshua replied briefly.
"What's important happy, Jo?" ceplos Kevin plain.
"WHISPER!" Ketus Caitlin and continued her steps quickly towards the room.
"Adek lo why did you? Not very." Ledek Evan looked at Joshua questioningly. The man who was asked just put his shoulder down no matter what. Because he doesn't know why his sister is more sensitive today? Though if usually his friends come to the girl's house will be ordinary even though they are noisy even more noisy than the one just now.
"Again PMS times well, adek lo." Said Kevin with a frightened facial expression made - make it by him. Joshua did not comment on Vincent's words and looked closely at Caitlin. Just like Davin, he was also staring at Caitlin who was walking towards his room.
Caitlin laid her body on her bed and looked at her left hand on the bandage while remembering the incident this morning. Before he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
David who had just woken up from his nap glanced at the clock on the wall of his room.
Hours 18.30
David rushes to get his white towel on his study chair and heads to the bathroom to clean himself up.
Geck...Geck...Tok
A knock on David's door. However, David did not respond because he knew that was behind the door if not his mother meant his sister or maybe Davin but it was impossible because Davin was at Joshua's house.
"Sister David?" Shouted the woman as she opened David's door knob. Then, the woman heard the sound of water from the bathroom indicating that her brother was taking a bath.
"Hm" answered David briefly.
"Can I go to Gramedia?" Ask the woman who made David stop and put on a white towel.
"No way" Ketus David who just came out of the bathroom with a towel that coiled from his waist to his knees.
"Plis dong ka temenin me to gramedia. Well? Well? Pliss!" Pint the woman with a hardened face.
"No way, Nom." Reject David in a soft tone of voice.
"Yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... But, yeah, it's. Where is Ka David going?" Ask the woman who is the younger sister of David and Davin, she is named Naomi.
"Sister David wants group work" David said.
"Yes, that's it." Naomi understood. Naomi leaves David, she understands her brother cannot accompany her to Gramedia because there are tasks to be completed.
"Naomi" Call David and stop Naomi's move. "Sorry" he continued.
"Dad, what's wrong" replied Naomi. David stared at Naomi's back until he was nowhere to be seen. Naomi can understand the reason for her brother who did not accompany her to Gramedia. Compared to Davin, Naomi was more familiar or closer to David.
🌿🌿🌿
After David parked his red ninja bike in front of Caitlin's spacious yard, he pressed the doorbell three times. Soon the door opened and Caitlin was wearing a plain white T-shirt with black adidas joggers knee-length.
David was still glued to his place and Caitlin clucked in awe in her heart as she saw David wearing an army bomber and black skinny jeans with a guitar bag attached to his back.
Whoa!!! So cool's.
David cleared his throat slowly to break the atmosphere between them. Caitlin was surprised and let the man in.
"Eh we practice it in my room, because it's not good with his friends brother Willy. Not what - what, right?"
Willy's? David asked in his heart.
"What's wrong - what?"
"Hm" answered David briefly and followed Caitlin to her room. They stopped their steps when they heard the baritone voice calling out to Caitlin. A familiar voice for that girl, huh? That's Alan's eldest brother's voice.
"Caitlin! " call Alan who walks near them. Caitlin just stood still and turned her body to face Alan.
"Who is he?" Ask Alan to Caitlin.
"He is my friend" replied Caitlin quickly.
"Are you sure? " Task Alan reassuredly.
"Yes, I am sure, brother. Why?" Replied Caitlin who put on a sour face.
"What does he do here? " Task Alan again which makes Caitlin upset over the attitude of Alan who interrogated her.
"I and he just want to practice singing. Just it, big bro. Please! Don't ask me again. " Answered Caitlin who then left Alan and forcibly pulled David's right hand towards her room.
David rested his butt on the red sofa in the corner by Caitlin's door. David pulled out his white guitar from his bag and placed the guitar on his thigh.
"Come" Take David who is ready for his position.
"Wait, wait, wait. What do you want to drink? Let me take it first. " Caitlin's Bargain.
"What the hell" David's response got a nod from Caitlin.
A few minutes passed, and Caitlin finally came with a drink and some snacks.
"This is for you" said Caitlin, holding a glass of orange syrup on the table.
David plucked the strings on his guitar according to the tone of the song they were going to perform. Caitlin adjusted her voice to the music created by the guitar. They began to practice, Caitlin clapped her hands when she heard a man coldly singing. For the first time, Caitlin heard David's voice which was arguably quite melodious. They kept practicing until they didn't realize the time was ten. David saw Caitlin who was getting sleepy also turned her gaze towards the clock on the wall of the girl's room.
Hour 22:00
"Gue go home first." David said by putting his guitar in a bag and wearing a navy bomber.
"Oh yeah, by the way thank's yeah." Respond Caitlin who moved from her seat to drive David to her front of her house.
"Hm" answered David briefly. "Further after tomorrow" he continued.
"What?" Just ask Caitlin plain.
"Training" David and Caitlin replied just a nod in response to understanding.
While in the doorway of the house, David says something before he leaves Caitlin.
"Your voice is good" said David who made Caitlin blush.
"Thank's, your voice is too" said Caitlin, then David went to the yard where he parked his motorbike.
"They!" Call Caitlin who makes David stop his steps and turn to the girl by raising his eyebrows as a sign that he is asking.
"Take care on the way, see you tomorrow." Caitlin said with her right hand waving at David. David only showed his smile when he heard Caitlin's words, then left. Caitlin could not see the smile on David's lips for the first time.
Can people smile too? I guess an ice man like him can't. His smile is sweet too.
