The Lovely One's
Chapter 12: Without You



"The heat is over, today's lesson is the long jump."


All the students nodded.


"Thank you, Starla." Luna whispered.


Starla's confused. "What's lucky?" he will enter a volleyball club not a long jump club anyway no long jump club.


Fortunately, there were no first semester volleyball lessons.


Already, when girl groups play volleyball is not as fun as boy groups, most of them can only serve down without being able to reply even sometimes serve down can not, so boring.


"Volleyball does jump a lot, right?" asked Luna innocently.


Starla patted her forehead. "It's not how it works" he said. "Here, just pay attention to the instructions of Mr. Abdul, later scolded."


"I'm sure my jump won't be far" said Luna.


Starla rolled her eyeballs; complaining before trying, typical of Luna. He was looking for a strategic place to be able to see and hear the clear explanation of Mr. Abdul.


"So you guys get ready on the line here" Mr. Abdul pointed to the black line. "Then run up to the line there you jump into the sandbox, it will be measured how far Hendra you jump. You can all try first but once."


"Eh? Why just once, sir?" the students complain.


"Do you want to see the school children who come later?" ask Abdul.


His friends were silent, of course they didn't want to.


Starla on the other hand was shocked, of course she also did not want to, this is why she sometimes does not like sports lessons, if lucky they will be sports in the stadium, free from student spectacle, he said, if not, as it is now, as if being chased by time. His absence number is also below, most likely if his part, the students are already crowded.


Starla doesn't want Aozora to see her play sports because she believes she will interfere with her concentration again, and her grades can be bad.


Why isn't her name Annora Starla? Why Starla Annora?


Having a miss number down there is indeed a profit and loss.


Starla watches her friends begin their first experiment.


There are some who managed to reach two meters mostly men, and some are not up to a meter maybe because of nervous attention by his friends.


Starla who was a little bored, idly looked around her school, and began to panic there were some students who began to enter, she was surprised when it was only half seven but some had reached school.


Aozora will take the bus so it is likely that the young man until seven like yesterday.


"Starla Annora."


Starla was struck by her name being called, not wanting to waste any time, she immediately stood where the starting line was, and immediately ran, either out of nervousness at the sight of her friends or other students, she said, it crossed the designated jump line but it landed well in the sandbox.


"It's a bad start, Starla" Mr Abdul said.


Starla cleaned her clothes from the sand and returned to her place full of disappointment.


'I can do more than that.'


"Don't be sad, La. New experiment," Gea cheered. "If you're nervous just assume they don't exist."


"I'll try," although Starla believes it's hard, she's the type who doesn't like being the center of people's attention, she has stage fright so sometimes what she's mastered can be lost, so he is always down if asked to present or in tests like this.


***


As Starla expected, before she could test, the time had already shown at seven o'clock and the atmosphere of the school was already crowded, there were some students who deliberately sat outside the classroom to see her.


Starla herself panicked overwhelmingly, her eyes occasionally glancing at the 3rd grade IPS 4 where Aozora was, but not the young man, there was only Rendy and her friends there.


Starla exhaled and exhaled many times trying to calm herself down.


Luna and Gea had already finished the test even so they faithfully waited for him for the test in order to change clothes together.


"Starla Annora." call Mr. Abdul.


Exhaling, Starla stood up again at the starting line.


"La, just think they don't exist" Gea recalled.


"And there's only Brother Aozora at the end there waiting for you." seduced Luna.


Starla automatically imagines the words of her friends, there is no one just Aozora at the end of sana—and unsuccessfully just getting nervous. He prepared, took another breath, jumped, unlike his first attempt, this time he did not cross the line and landed perfectly.


"One and a half meters, sir" said Hendra.


Starla was a little surprised her jump was no further than her first jump probably because the first one she broke the line even so she was quite satisfied.


"Good luck, La." said Gea.


"Aozora's Vitamin Kak must work, right?" luna Goda.


Starla rolled her eyeballs, "Come to class, get changed." she said, before leaving, she took a glance at Aozora's class, still no sign of the young man, maybe already in the classroom?


***


Do you know how empty Wednesday is?


The classroom situation is relaxed once every Wednesday, mostly on snacks in the cafeteria or just hanging out under a tree that is provided gazebo in every corner of the school, there is free Wi-Fi provided.


Starla chooses to take shelter in the gazebo alone so that no one occupies while Luna and Gea are buying food. He was checking his fakebook account, trying to understand how fakebooks work.


"Starla."


Starla turned her head to see who was calling her. "Sister Rendy!?"


Rendy waved her hand, then sat across from the girl. "You're not learning?"


Starla laughs. "This is my class, brother. Messed up. Now it's a sports lesson, we've become free sports, deh,"


"Oh," Rendy nodded her head.


"What are you learning yourself? Not in?" ask Starla.


"The lessons of the religion of Islam" said Rendy.


"Oh," Starla recalled that Rendy was non-Muslim, indeed if she studied Islam, non-Muslim students were allowed out if she wanted to.


If so there is a high chance that Aozora also came out, it is less likely that the young man is Muslim if from Japan.


Starla decided to lure him. "Aren't you alone?"


Rendy nodded. "Why? You expecting someone? I'm not enough for you?" tanyanya tempt.


Starla was surprised to hear that, it was only the first time Rendy had behaved like that to her, every time at the club, they were just chatting about volleyball.


'He teasing me?'


Although Rendy was not his type but being seduced by such a handsome young man certainly made him blush red.


Maybe Rendy's effect is close to Luna's. So the young man also wanted to be close to him who was a close friend of Luna?


"I'm just asking, sister." said Starla.


Rendy laughed a little. "Aozora didn't come in today" he said.


Where does Rendy know?


"You and her are having a warm conversation today, you're going home from school together" Rendy added. "Don't forget also Luna yesterday asked me to find out Aozora's name, if need be close friends with her."


Starla patted her forehead; of course Luna was behind all this, she was embarrassed now. "Sister said Aozora didn't come in? That's why, huh?" tanyakanya.


"Saying permission, I don't know what," said Rendy, shrugging her shoulders. "You can ask Lala, she's the treasurer in our class, and she's close to Aozora."


"Eh? Lala?"


"They were instantly familiar on the first day even Lala took Aozora around the school at recess, she said, her pen pal" said Rendy.


Pen pals.


Aozora yesterday also said that she has pen friends in Bali, so it is natural that here also have only those who make her fuss, the pen friend of the young man is a woman, one class too, and so on, it's natural that he feels anxious, right?


"Where is Lala?" tanyakanya.


Rendy pulls out her phone, then shows Starla a picture. "Here he is Lala, Starla." he pointed to a girl who was in the front row but at the very end.


Starla narrowed her eyes in order to see clearly. "Oh," the response was brief.


The girl named Lala was not very beautiful, just plain in her eyes, more beautiful herself.


Starla was impressed by his thoughts.


'Don't be like that, La. Don't judge people from the outside, ' Starla said in her heart.


"So don't know if Aozora's permission is up to when?" ask Starla again.


Rendy shook her head. "I don't know, I tried to get close to him but he was like closing himself up, arguably an arrogant boy."


"Eh? Time?" Starla did not believe it at all.


Rendy nodded. "I always try to find a topic of conversation with him because I'm his countryman. But he always answered the chat briefly, making me feel like a clumsy person alone."


Starla does not believe at all, whether the Aozora that Rendy tells is the same as Aozora who is always on her mind.


It can't be that cold Aozora, can it... ?
