The First High School Love

Chapter 14 About Thea

Theana Gemintang Puspitasari was the second child of Ms. Irma Sudibyo and Mr. Paul Andika. Thea's calling. Thea has an older sister named Nikita Gemintang Puspasari or commonly called Niki. Niki is only about 2 years from Thea. Niki did not attend the same Junior High School, she took a private Christian High School which was close enough from her home, so just walking was enough.

Like Thea, Niki also has a good body and athletic, although not too high. Thea is very dear to both parents, because at birth, Thea almost lost her life due to amniotic fluid poisoning.

As a result, all the affection of his parents poured out completely on Thea since childhood. Being the center of attention, getting what you want, always being the first to be given something, makes Thea grow up as a narcissistic child. That's why Niki always felt unfair about her parents' treatment of her and her sister.

Thea's a very competitive person. It was not like for anyone else to ruin his plans, take his place and even so, he was very authoritative. That's why, Thea has been a subscription as class president since she was a child, even though she was a woman.

Thea has a loud voice. He was once the leader of the SD time ceremony, and now serves as the captain of the 1st grade basketball team.

Liking Brother Ben, since the beginning of school, is the thing he dreamed of. Liked the popular upperclassman, the chairman of Osis as well as the captain of the basketball team. The perfect boy figure, although Ben Kak is not smart in terms of academics, but he is indeed a boy figure who is favored by many women because of his other advantages.

However, liked by Davi and chased by him, adored excessively is something that he also likes. It's not that he has the same feelings for Davi. He wasn't even interested in the boy at all. He just likes to be an object that is adored by others.

Until the unexpected finally came. Davi had stopped liking him and changed course to Matari, his own best friend.

He doesn't like it, he doesn't like it at all. He felt like he was losing a fan. Losing the man who made himself the only special place in his heart. He feels defeated.

This was felt during the poetry reading competition on February 14. She thought, that day, Davi would give her some chocolate. Couldn't Davi like him? Even though he had been rejected three times, could Davi still keep the taste?

After giving the chocolate to Brother Ben who responded with a smile, and his girlfriend, Kak Nana, who did not look angry at all, Thea felt that suddenly liking Kak Ben was a boring thing. Nana seemed to think it was natural. Maybe Thea wasn't the first to give it to Brother Ben that day.

Until finally during the poetry reading competition, he intended to approach Davi's seat. Just for a fad, wondering if this boy still likes him like before?

When she saw Davi looking focused on Matari singing on stage, Thea felt strange. Davi did not look at anything that tried to bother him. Even when he praised Matari who he admitted to performing amazing that day.

Especially when Abdi began to taunt Davi to immediately give chocolate when Matari finished singing, Thea knew, everything had changed. Davi has fallen for his best friend.

He never expected, It was Matarah who took his place now. A matari? Who likes light-skinned and curly-haired freaks? Didn't Davi know about Iko? In comparison, Iko's face is still more attractive than Davi's. How could?

When he finished performing, he noticed Abdi who gave support to Davi to immediately go backstage, giving chocolate to Matari.

“But the chocolate is already rich gini, Di? Not worth it lo?” davi asked Abdi, as if he did not care about Thea who was nearby.

“That mattered his intention, bro. Want me to temenin?” timpal Abdi's.

“Nevent the effort. Matari is good with her child.” Davi said later.

Keep on saying, I'm evil? Inner Thea was annoyed as she stared at the sight.

“Ya, bro. Good luck, yeah. If successful, I will treat in the abis canteen Exercise.” Said Abdi.

“Gue to backstage yes.” Davi said then out of the crowd of spectators reading poetry at that time.

Thea quietly followed him, taking a distance of several meters. So that Davi doesn't realize it.

Initially Davi went backstage, but Matari was not there. He asks Pito who is cleaning his equipment and Pito replies that Matari is going to the toilet to change clothes and remove makeup.

Davi finally went to the toilet. The multipurpose building toilet is divided into two large and long sections. One for girls and one for boys. Before entering the toilet area there is a small room to sit around. Usually used by female students who are queuing or waiting for their friends without entering the toilet area. After approaching, Davi could hear Lisa's crumbs talking out of nowhere, followed by Matari's voice. Finally Davi sat there, waiting anxiously.

Thea was still standing in place, silently and observing. His guess is almost completely true. Yes, Davi has moved to another heart. It is quite natural, their age is an age that is easily happy and hateful, likes and sad, he said,

friends and enemies. But why, why Matari?

Moments later, Davi calls his best friend. Matari approaching. Thea could see, Matari slightly started to waver at Davi. Either Iko was in which part of his heart. However, it is almost certain that Davi can definitely get Matari if he keeps trying. Matari who according to him is good, although closed, is a person who can not possibly ignore the feelings of Davi. He will be able to try first if it is good for him.

“Ngapain lo, The?” abdi's voice was dragging him.

“Which I really saw?” ask Thea later.

Abdi stared at his best friend, Davi, in the distance who seemed to have succeeded in slowly gaining Matari's sympathy.

“Iya, why?”

“Kok you didn't say?”

“Hah? Mean lo?”

“Soal Davi and Matari.”

“Iya, why should I say the same lo?”

“Yes, I'm his best friend. How do I not know?”

“Yes it's up to them, The.”

“Yes, but I'm Matari's best friend. Why don't I know anything? Lisa know?”

Abdi. He felt it was not his capacity to answer that.

“Well, right? Why is everyone talking about me?”

“Not that, The. Look at your overreaction. That is why there may be a reason both Lisa and Matari have not told anything about lo.”

Thea looked at Abdi with a dislike look, then without saying anything, gawking away.

***

Thea doesn't know who's wrong here she thinks. He hates Matari but cannot. Matari is too good.

In the past, he was so proud when his mother picked him up. Mother who always tried to pick him up anytime anywhere, even though it was raining and blazing. The mother that Matari would never have. Matari who always came home alone on foot and now changed riding a bicycle can still be accompanied by Davi.

“Why lo?” niki asked when she saw her sister was silent in the room while working on PR but one thing had not been done.

“Nik, according to lo Matari how?” ask Thea to her sister.

“Well, the type of girl who does not macem-macem. Sweet. High. Especially yah?”

“Negative?”

“Yaaa where I know. The sohibnya elo! I've only met a few times if you guys study groups here.”

“According to you, if Davi likes him how?”

“Eh, SERIOUSLY?”

“Iya. Davi likes him. And they hid it from me. Why do you think?”

“Hmmm, may not want to hurt your feelings aja.”

“That simple?”

“YES! WHY NOT? Elo is strange. Why are you angry?”

“Gue isn't angry, Nik! I just feel...”.

“FIRST. Lo no nerima Davi right, even though you have shot lo 3 times. SECOND ONE. Matari has been a friend longer than Davi. He knows how rich he is. Competitive, negative thinking, and do not like to lose. And yes, I feel you are losing to Matari now right?”

“No, Nik. I don't feel that way.”

“Lo boong's. It looks so good from your face. I know you from Orok, beb. I know how rich you are.”

“Sok tau ah, lo.”

“THREE. Matari tuh family background is not as lucky as us. At least Mom and Dad were always there for us. Matari does not live with any of her parents, her mother died, her father works out of town. U know what. Lo again slapped the fact that, you do not like Matari Happy with Davi.”

“Yes why should Davi like her?”

“Kan tired of liking the same lo continue, elonya nolak, 3 times loh. Do people want to be told to nunggin lo? Who are you? Thanks for eating doi too!”

“Yes, why should my own friend, Nik?”

 “Kalo about that, you ask Davi. Don't be mad at Matari. Let the rich girl be happy. He deserves to be happy, The. Same anyone. Poor thing, his parents are not available rich us.”

Thea was silent in her own mind.

For students who entered school Saturday in the 2000s, Saturday is the happiest day. Because tomorrow is Sunday. At least everything was fun on Saturday even though that day, Matari had a repeat of the Biology IPA.

Matari was still sitting in the cafeteria, finishing her favorite gravy meatball, when Davi suddenly sat next to her.

“Ciyeee, Davi..” Ledek some other 1st graders there.

At that time, about Davi being PDKT to Matari was heard almost in all 1st class. Matari was popular for being the lead vocalist in the impromptu cult band Mading the other day, and news of him quickly spread widely.

Lisa just laughs and acts indifferent, trying to make room for Davi to talk to Matari easily. He doesn't want to interfere. Especially now that Thea is in a cold war with the two of them.

“You added, Ri?” ask Davi and without being told to give a clean tissue to Matari.

“Still...” sahut Matari. “No, already full.”

“Where to malem?” ask Davi.

“Not going anywhere.”

“Majuuu continue Dav..... don't love kendorrrr!!” ledek some football team to him from afar.

“I phone well.”

Matari just nodded with a smile. Davi saw Matari's smile straight at him at that moment, it felt like he wanted to fly.

“Gue back to class yes. Back in.” Matari said as she stood up, Lisa finally stood next to her.

“Yes, be careful yes, Ri.”

“Duileee, gemes me. Just a few hundred meters anyway, Dav, use caution all.” Ledek lisa while holding Matari's hand.

“The name is also a business, Lis.”

Matari follows Lisa back into the hallway to grade 1 F. Because it was located at the very corner, they had to pass through rows of 1st class, class after class. Until it finally seemed Thea was sitting in front of the class, alone.

“Aduhhh, lo why the hell?” Lisa finally embraces Thea to melt the atmosphere. “Still mediemin us?”

Thea just smiled thinly. But his stomach that sounded made Lisa and Matari laugh out loud.

“LAPER RIGHT LO? That's why we're going to the cafeteria! Matari aja abis bowl meatball tuh. IPS History Deuteronomy makes laper. It's essaaai all.” Lisa again.

“Yes, I'm laper. Your satisfaction?”

“Yuk, we cementin, there is still 3 minutes, cepet yes.” Take Matari while holding her favorite friend and run to the cafeteria.
