The Mate of Teenagers

Part 9 Jealousy

That morning at school Rama deliberately waited Raya. He sat in front of a shady school parking lot due to tall, shady trees.

"Hi Raya..."

"Rama.kau here" Raya stopped her steps and responded to Rama's greeting. There was no Aska and Jordan with him.

"Let there be no Aska here, myself" Rama seemed to understand the anxiety of Raya.

"You need anything with me?"

"I just wanted to see you before class" the two walked together before splitting up. Raya and Rama look familiar to each other.

"Friends see who's coming, the young master's wooer let him get a position!" amanda's voice chattered insinuating Raya as soon as Raya entered the classroom. Laughter and ridicule from classmates. Raya did not care and sat in her chair.

He glanced at the bowed Aska slumping her face on the table.

"Hei village! with you approaching Rama your status is still a village boy. You can't be our level! isn't that Aska?"

"I don't care" Aska woke up from her seat and walked away. He did not take lessons that morning.

"Why did you approach him?!" Aska's voice sounded furious. He pulled the collar of Rama's shirt until Rama tiptoed because Aska pulled him firmly.

"Aska! we are friends. Don't be like this" Jordan tried to break up and calm Aska down.

"Best friend said?! he has dared to approach my toys!"

"You jealous?" rama said casually.

"What did you say?!" Aska got angry and hit Rama's face until fresh blood came out from the corner of his lips.

"Stop Aska! what's wrong with you, man?" Jordan calms Aska.

"You like Raya?" Rama grinned while holding the corner of his lips.

"Ram stop, have we friends not like this, do I need to call the source of your problems here?" Jordan is ready to call Raya. But Aska with one hand tugged at Jordan's shoulder.

"You take care of him!" Aska walked away. He asked the homeroom teacher for permission to go home because there was a family need.

At rest then noon, Aska darted away with her sports car. Observing from a distance.

Why is he today? he did not look at me at all and did not speak as usual. He didn't bully me today either. What's wrong with her?

"Rama...." Raya calls Rama who is seen coming out of the Uks room.

"Why face?" Raya pointed to the bruise on the edge of Rama's lips because of the Aska punch earlier.

"really?" Raya could hardly believe Rama's explanation. Because the bruise on Rama's face is like a punch.

"Oh yeah let's have lunch in the cafeteria, I'll treat"

"No I've eaten, I just want to ask"

"What mean?"

"Aska why? he's a little weird"

Rama's face instantly changed when Raya looked worried about Aska.

"Why indeed?" asked Rama flatly.

"He's not as usual"

"You worried about him?"

"No, I'm happy because no one pranks me anymore. The fool was silent from morning. He didn't even take lessons in class"

Rama saw Raya's laughter, he knew the girl was worried about Aska. And this can't happen. You should know that Rama likes it. Because Aska also likes Raya.

"Well after school you have a show?"

"I have to help my mom finish the cake order, what's up?"

"How about we go for a walk, if you can't today maybe next time"

"Well next time, I'm sorry...."

"No problem"

Raya back to her class. He saw an empty Aska bench. Amanda glanced at him.

"Why do you keep looking at the Aska bench?!"

"It's none of Amanda's business!"

"How dare you.....!"

Raya did not serve Amanda, she returned to focus on the lessons given by the teacher.
