"Sweet sour curls!" Jae the elder brother shouted like a market trader. The disheveled-haired guy was endlessly kicking out a discordant sound that made the ears of the entire house almost break.
I took off my kets and moved slowly. My hair feels sticky and blends with sweat. Damn, my looks are bad!
"Whoaa, what happened to the elite school students? Even worse than the looks when selling seafood at the night market," Ryn giggled with satisfaction, "so this is what girls do when High School?"
"Whisper!" I snorted unfriendly. " School sucks and I'm sorry I took the scholarship offer,"
"Whooa, as thick as what?" My second brother was interested.
"It's Ryn, let your sister have dinner first. You didn't see? He's pale, "Jae thrusts a serving of rice covered in crab and a smudge of sweet sour sauce.
"So bad, they're playing me!" The clanking sound of the dishes spoils the sweet sour crab taste that fills the mouth. "Your chess game is inferior.., you're just an anraka! Ah, swear! That's really sickening!"
"Underestimating your chess game? Incredibly..., have they ever fought against you?"
"No, I'll prove my ability later!"

"W-how can it be?" The curly senior stuttered as soon as the queen's pian lay on top of her stack of books.
"I read your tactics" a slanted smile was painted to demean him. "Hows it? I'm welcome at the club?"
The girl sighed, nodding slowly. "Alright, be a good member, don't embarrass the chess club in public!"
"I promise,"
"Bas stupid, your promise doesn't mean Kanra Anastasia!" He rose up and pulled out a black and white board. "Prove your eligibility, I'm asking you to take part in a chess match on sports week tomorrow!"
Ah, damn this big brother of the class..
"I'll prove it! After I win promise not to demean me!" Kecamku fiery.
The black-alma mater chick made an understatement smile. "Don't hope!"

My gaze there, staring at the soft blue lavender painted building. Elite school. The burden felt like it was piercing my mind. Moreover, the noise that makes my mood decreases drastically. The group of girls in sports uniforms giggled at the end of the gate, I know... They're just cheap girls waiting for the appearance of jock guys passing by. The predatory chick...
I held tightly to Jae's box of supplies. The first brother was always able to rely on when my parents started to busy themselves blind morning. A serving of fresh rice and vegetables. Jae understood best that among the other brothers I was the only one who loved to die on his vegetable stir fry.
"Welcome to Edelweish High School Sports Week!" Warm greetings accompanied by slogans filled the walls of the building; adding to the lively atmosphere.
Ah, but to me this is like a fatal disturbance raging inside me. It's just me. which no one else has ever felt. It's so torturous!
I went to the classroom stairs, only there was a quiet place that was safe to spend supplies.
"It's going crazy!" I hurriedly sipped a bottle of fast drinking water. I was too excited to practice chess last night. Jae, Ryn, Rue, Zoel, Joy and Urlich became co-stars who accompanied me despite the annoying nagging that asked me to stop.
They say I'm too good at playing, ah, but I'm not satisfied. Although chess brought me to this elite school with honor, but still, the white-haired guy beat me. I don't want to be defeated again!
"Whoa, here you look!" The curly-haired senio I just knew her name was Mily, pulling the end of my alma mater forcibly. Damn, he doesn't know the alma mater price that made both my parents willing to mortgage the shop half a day. " why? You scared? What losers!"
"Let go!" The grip is rough. "I'm not running!"
"really? Then let's prove your lowly ability before me!" he dragged me forcibly. Severer. He humiliated me in front of a horde of my other co-stars.
His pace hunts, pulls, drags and sometimes tortures until my arms are flushed. The invitation of the elite school was indeed torturous, but for now my fokos direction is not for that.
Chess game.
"Let's show that silly determination of yours!" Mily almost squealed creating a strange taste that filled the mouth cavity uncomfortably.
"Well, I'm ready" I said calmly. Black and white chess board and pieces look more friendly so in fact the tactics of the opponent play easily legible.
Hmm, not in vain. Chess mate is too easy to do. They failed to face my attacks so hard that their minds were deadlocked to keep fending off. A smile of victory filled my lips. Feel Mily... You're too naive to put me down!
"Chess mate!"

I always loved chess. Joy taught me to memorize pawn functions. She says I'm the kind of girl who gets it so quickly that Joy taught me twice that I'm interested in learning the game so much more deeply.
And at this moment I do not know how many opponents I managed to conquer. A really easy opponent!
"Last opponent, you will definitely lose !"
I ready. No matter the figure of the mysterious figure had not yet raised the nose. They say he's a tough opponent chess prince to conquer. And I don't know since when the hordes of girls cheering around my match area?
Hffs.. Damn, with conditions like this my focus direction can be broken.
Krieks.. White door frame open. The figure was calmly swaying. I can feel. Yes, there is a sweet taste that eliminates ambiguous tasting. Wait for... I am familiar with this taste...
"So you.. my next playmate?" a wide grin peered behind his pitch-black hat. "Interesting,"
Ah him...
"Nusantara Atlaraka!" Suddenly my ear drum was painful. Girls cheering hysterically. Oh Kanra.. You're in big trouble!
####
I always hoped that the strange demon would stop babbling. Don't talk at all. My pawns move position to eat one by one pawns who either because of a mistake or just bait.
"Chess mate,"
Shit, I'm starting to get threatened. Atlaka's tactics are difficult to read, however until this moment I just guess the direction of the next step. The second option, the knight jumps over the pawn and breaks into the attack.
"Hff, you sloppy chick," ah, since when did I go rashly to let go of my horse knight. "Hey you want to win my game?"
I smiled obliquely, "you think?"
"I want to join the chess club,"
Atlaraka grinned again. "Oh so? But unfortunately.your reason was rejected! The thick-grey-dyed guy with white hair painted in contrast lays the key to the destruction of my white kingdom.
"Chess mate!"

Damn, I've had the worst day of my life. Loss and rain . I forgot to bring an umbrella. I swear, there's no end to the shit I threw at me.
I ran small, broke through the rain. The thick fog and the piercing cold Eve made anxiety wander.
I gotta hurry. My shoes felt heavier mixed with puddles of water. At times like this, Jae's thick jacket that is attached even adds weight to my body.
"Worse," the white steam billowed out as I breathed. Wet and can't go home. It is a good recommendation to determine that today is the worst day ever. I stepped towards the stop. Drying the messy tied hair with shivering hands shakes.
"Only?" The sound was heard in the ears.
Reflex I incised the face and realized the figure who was sitting leaning on the corner bench stop. Those ash eyeballs stared as if lurking.
"Satan," I said in a hostile tone.
"Hh, you freak," the guy with bright red hair threw a suit right in front of me. Then he got up and walked closer in line with his special grin. "You're wet but it makes me even more interested,"
"Don't think anything!" I pulled the collar on the high shirt, "there's something wrong with your brain!"
Atlaraka was unmoved, his pair of globular eyes still remained there; staring blinkingly. Shit, what the fuck? My feelings are not good.
"These are linked, the jaw is hardened, and the sound is explosive..in this psychology book the sign of anger, right?" The guy tilted a shitty face, "in other words you need a hug?"
Duh, what's that brain, anyway? I clucked away my face away from him. "Ah, forget!"
"Oi oi, I've given you a coat at least thank you a little, dong,"
Whatwasthat? She protested? Hh, really brash! Had Jae been here, surely the guy would have been beaten up by him.
"Seprimitive what is your thinking? I'm already wet and the suit won't be of any use to me!"
This nightmare is also trapped in a rainstorm with an absud guy.
"Hey, your chess game doesn't suck, really," he muttered slowly.
"Want whatever your humiliation is !" I almost screamed. I swear, being upset makes me want to cry. I was never made this emotional. "What the fuck is your grin!"
"I'm not grinning, psychology books say, a sincere smile can make the interlocutor entertained and calm," a flat face that makes me unable to immediately pursue it.
"You're making a joke?"
"Do you want me to hug?"
I sighed, trying to get that figure out of my sight. Okay, let's just say he doesn't exist. He's an invisible ghost.
Hungry me open the box of food actor Jae that I have not yet reached the contents. Jae never saw me put food aside.
No. gabe. I also did not want my other brother to touch my provisions said Ryn. Seems like I was the most spoiled by my parents, even more than Son, the youngest.
What are my feelings... The rain made my favorite vegetable stir-fry not as good as usual. Or because of a shitty guy who doesn't take my eyes off me?
"Why see me that?" Tanyaku.
Atlaraka shook his head briefly. "You know, I purposely made you lose,"
"Hmm, you bring that up again" I said indifferently.
"Listen.I just don't want you to be seen for that sort of thing" Atlaraka sighed. "Your tactics are too unfortunate to be wasted with such people,"
Ah right.. although if I join the club, but not necessarily my existence will be accepted as it is by other members. I-i just...
"Special. Your kind of girl is rare" Atlaraka continued.
"You read my mind?" Shit, I feel like my security system was broken into by a hacker.
"Ah, you know, when you're able to taste the sound I'm able to read your mind,"
The deg! I have to be careful. "Basic..," satan "show of self-knowledge!"
"Hh, you can't even be honest with yourself," Atlaraka ransacked the contents of the backpack, pulled a folding umbrella and moved closer.
"You what?" Got my arm pulled suddenly.
"Go home." he developed an umbrella and forced me to hold it. "It's not good for a woman to come home at night."
Lightning hug. Again, it made my heart jump in shock.
"It's there," he pushed my shoulder slowly.
"You" played me.
My words hang as soon as I get a subtle smile engraved on the boy's lips. Rain splashes shed some of their contrasting red hair.
"Be careful," hoarsely raises a sweet sensation that fills the mouth. I turned around to back him.
"It's weird, he thinks it's what time, it's still three this afternoon," and my watch slowed down.
Tbc.
