The Lovely One's

Chapter 7: The First Punishment

"What mission do you mean?" ask Starla. "I'm not in love with him, so why are you making it an all-out mission?"

"Yes you're right, and I'm Saras 008." said Luna. "Look, I'm not going to argue about your feelings, if you don't want to know about him, I'm not pushy, but I'm going to keep looking for him because he's a 'material boyfriend'" she said.

Starla felt her blood boiling. "Are Rendy and Sandy not enough for you?" ketus tanyanya.

"I'm a single girl, I can see any guy" said Luna casually. "Possibly a new kid in my opinion, I've never seen him ride a bus before so just stay to find out which class he belongs to."

Starla on the other hand was not sure the young man her friends were talking about, the young man's face was inclined to Europe rather than Japan or perhaps the young man was of mixed blood. He recalled the moment the young man called his name earlier on the bus, his voice so soft in his ears when saying his name. He shook his head, not the time to fantasize; focus, he remembered the young man calling his name with the suffix 'san' signifying the young man from Japan.

Maybe it was mixed blood.

Double combos.

Starla enters her class, things are as crowded as ever, some are playing or doing schoolwork, some are talking about the new kid.

"The new kid said he started school today" one of Starla's classmates whispered.

"really? I hope he enters our class" said the girl beside him.

Starla sat on her stool, a sense of uneasiness approached her, called her weird but she thought being in class with the young man was not a good idea, it was nice to see the young man's face every day, in times of boring lessons however, he is sure to affect the value of his lessons, so he always forbid himself to have a classmate girlfriend—

'What? Girlfriend!?'

Starla patted her forehead, she thought too far.

"What's wrong with you?" ask Luna. "Still imagining your Dilan?"

Starla rolled her eyeballs; ignored, and Luna would stop.

"Starla is in denial" said Luna. "Later you will be in the acceptance stage." he continued. "And finally the last step is to treat me and Gea. Treaty of. Finished taxes."

Luna really didn't know when to stop.

"Speaking Gea, he has not come" said Starla saw the seat in front of him is still empty, but was willing to enter but there is still no sign of the whereabouts of his friend that one.

"He sent me a message that tomorrow is a little afternoon, he said last night after the call until late" said Luna.

"She fell in love so deeply" said Starla; certainly she was happy to hear Gea's harmonious relationship yet, her feelings that still did not receive Ferdian fully became the reference of her judgment; she certainly wanted to support however, she was not, for some reason it was so difficult, aggravated Ferdian also never wanted to walk with him and Luna.

"You'll feel it too, La." Luna started flirting again.

Starla rolled her eyeballs.

His friend this one also could not be silent at all.

Why is it so long at the school bell?

***

"You do these two things, when you're done, you can go forward, if you really will get more value from the Father."

"Yes, sir."

After the quiet class atmosphere, everyone began to count, except Starla who had been out of focus, seeing what she had to do once again.

First problem: specify the value of sin 105° + sin 15°

Second problem : prove that sin4 – sin2 \= cos4 – cos2 <TAG1> cos2 2

Starla wrote about it in her book, and began to work on it, because it was not focused, she saw again the example of Mr. Agus. "It's bad, I don't understand." he muttered desperately.

"Yes!" Luna who was beside him replied. "My head exploded!" frustration shouts. "Why should this happen to me... ?" now the tone is sad. "I hate trigonometry."

Starla did not answer, she actually liked mathematics, when it managed to solve a problem that was so difficult it became her own satisfaction let alone she who became the first person to solve it, like flying in the sky.

Now then? His mind was unfocused, because of the young man. He has been like this since Mr. Agus entered his class, which means bad for him, his value.

"I have to do this." Luna cheered herself up. "I don't want Mr. Agus to grumble with his swearing language."

Starla laughed a little. "Abni anu added pinter. Aranjeun tetep bodo." (I'm the smarter one, you guys are still stupid.)

"St! La don't be so hard." exclaimed Luna. "Later Mr. Agus can hear."

"Sorry, but I can't help myself, even if it's a satire for us, but it's funny to me" Starla said. "Sir Agus to despair of teaching our class until the problem he made himself done yesterday."

"Starla, Luna, is there anything you want to share with me?" mr. Agus' voice stopped Starla's laughter.

Starla and Luna froze on the spot, they glanced at each other anxiously, elbowing each other to blame.

"Sorry, sir," said Starla.

"Do the right thing" said Mr. Agus.

Starla exhaled, and looked back at the writing in her book. "Sin 150°.." just starting out, his mind turned back again to show the young man's face. "Sin 15°.." no longer want to be fooled, he tried to focus even sweat droplets began to appear on his temple.

'It's nice talking to you, Starla-san.' the young man's soft voice reflected again, this time he felt the young man whispering to him which made his body goosebumps strangely.

Don't give up, it'll go away. "Sin4 a..."

'I'm sorry if I'm boring.'

Starla can't take it anymore. "Get out of my head!" frustration shouts.

Starla realized what she said was too loud, she glanced at Pak Agus hesitating and panicked to see Pak Agus' expression looked angry.

"Starla Annora, you messed up twice in class, stood outside the classroom while your feet were raised." ordered Mr. Agus firmly.

"But sir, I didn't mean it." Starla tried to defend herself.

"Get out, Starla." Mr. Agus did not waver in the slightest, even though Starla had a good reputation in her studies, she still would not be selective on students who had done chaos.

"But—"

"Ceuk urang nangtung outside!" (Stand outside, I said)

Starla panicked, if Mr. Agus had spoken Sundanese it means that his teacher had boarded the apoplexy, he immediately got up from his seat, and walked out of his class resigned.

"The strong, La." whispered Luna cheering.

Starla did not reply, unwilling to get Luna to come into her trouble.

'My first sentence was in school and it's because of men.'

Starla raised her right leg when Pak Agus came to check on her; she still did not believe herself to be inferior to her feelings over her logic even more so in her favorite lesson hours.

Double disappointment.

Starla once felt in love but not as bad as this—ia was caught slowly, just now she admitted to having fallen in love with the young man? He patted her forehead. "What the hell am I thinking." Luna's words flashed across her head.

'Maybe my logic goes against my instincts so she rebelled to get a confession from me?'

Maybe this is what the reception process that Luna said.

"What am I thinking." murmured Starla. "Just finish this punishment for how long I don't know." he continued sadly knowing he couldn't learn math.

Pluks.

When Starla was sad, a small lump of paper hit her face, she was shocked for a moment, who could throw paper at her, which was already poor, he looked for who did it— was surprised again it was Brother Rendy, waving at him.

"What are you doing?" ask Rendy curiously.

"You?" Starla asked back slowly so as not to make Pak Agus suspicious and increase his sentence.

"Now a sports lesson," unexpectedly Rendy can catch his speech.

Starla realizes that Rendy is wearing a school gym outfit which means 3rd grade IPS 4 is in the sports subjects, he was shocked to see the people behind Rendy whispering and even chuckling looking at him; because it is impossible to shout fearfully caught by Mr. Agus, he also hinted with a movement of his lips: I was punished.

Rendy fortunately understood. "Patiently yes!"

Starla patted her forehead. "Why is he shouting like that? His friends saw me, "he murmured, but he nodded.

Rendy returned to the field with a volleyball out far from the field, he got ready in the service area, and served a jump, resulting in a hard serve that his opponent could not reply to.

Starla was amazed to see it, seconds later chuckling to hear them protest to Rendy to do justice.

Maybe the punishment started to run from a bad word for him.

Starla was enthusiastic again to see Rendy get ready to serve again, this time only serve the top that can also be returned by the opponent; the resistance was so tight that finally the opponent Rendy scored.

The turn of the team against Rendy who got the serve ball.

"Why does he look familiar." murmured Starla who saw Rendy's co-star starting to serve, she was a little troubled because the tree in front of the class blocked her eyes, so since just saw Rendy's team. He shifted in order to get a clearer view, and froze knowing the young man was playing as well. "Huh?"

Did his eyes see wrong?

That young man was one class with Rendy? Why hasn't he seen all this time? Or really a new kid.

His heartbeats were getting faster when he saw the young man cheering happily with other friends when scoring again.

Unintentionally seeing their eyes meet, Starla automatically gives a fairly stiff smile which then returned a smile as well, her heart felt melted to get that sweet smile again. "No, I shouldn't be flattered."

Starla should feel embarrassed being caught by the young man being punished silly like this instead of instead being happy, the young man's response could be ugly towards her, right?

His first punishment was also because the young man was also appropriate he was annoyed not easily forgive this.

Even so, Starla found herself looking at the young man again, she even joined in celebrating with a small dance as the team of the young man scored again.

This punishment continues to improve. The sweetest punishment.

"Alright, Starla, there's enough punishment today," Mr. Agus' voice returned Starla from her beautiful delusion. "Back in class."

"But sir, isn't it too soon" said Starla; she still wanted to see the young man.

"Too fast? It's been fifteen minutes" Mr. Agus said.

"Eh? Really?" fifteen minutes passed so quickly.

"You sound unsatisfied that I'm punishing you, Starla" said Mr. Agus. "Then I'll add it, standing in front of the class now."

"Huh?" how can Mr. Agus give additional punishment just for a speech, and again in the classroom, if outside want how long he wants to be punished.

"Quickly, Starla." ordered Mr. Agus.

"Yes, sir," Starla said little and walked inside disappointed to see the young man playing again.
