The Missing Voice's

| Chapter 5: Its Not Me |

Teacher room.

The atmosphere of the teacher room was quiet, considering that the teachers were in the middle of teaching hours. A second of rotating clock adorned the teacher's room where Emma was sitting opposite Mr. Tedds. She trembled slightly, clasped tightly onto a hanger in her skirt pocket. Mr's Eyes. Tedd stoned, he stared fixedly at the student, then sighed.

"Your name is Emma, right?" ask Mr. Tedd answered a nod by Emma.

"You didn't bring a gym suit, and when I asked you to wait in class, you stole your friend's phone?" said Mr. Tedds.

"I didn't take it, sir. Really" wrote Emma.

"Do you have any evidence?" ask Mr. Tedds.

"If I don't have it now, I still don't take it. But, I'm going to find proof that I'm not wrong, sir" Emma wrote quickly.

"Why don't you just confess?" ask Mr. Tedds.

"Why should I admit what I didn't do?" ask Emma in the note.

"Even if you didn't do it, but in reality you were at the wrong time and place, Emma. You don't want to extend this to the ears of the head of Osis and the headmaster. So I suggest you just obey, you will not aggravate your punishment" said Mr. Tedd tried to find a middle ground.

Emma bit her lower lip. Withstanding the turmoil in his chest, now he is being vilified but not allowed to defend himself or rather free to defend himself. Because, what they wanted even this teacher to hear was his confession saying that he was guilty.

"Do I also have to be punished for something that is not yet certain of my fault?" ask Emma in the note.

"Emma, I know you're innocent here. You know that you can't do such a thing, but as a teacher, without proof you can't just let go" replied Mr. Tedd wisely, this time he was very visible as a teacher. He is usually not someone who speaks with words.

"Even if you believe me, but you still punish me?" emma asked in the note, her eyes glazed over wanting to explode right then and there.

Mr. Tedd looked in Emma's eyes, he sighed and lowered Emma's note from before him.

"Emma, since you didn't bring a sports suit, I punish you for copying chapter 8 material 50 times. And, since you took your friend's phone, you were sentenced to clean all the windows on the entire first floor for 2 weeks" Mr. Tedds.

Emma limp. He dropped his hand, staring at the teacher with a look of disbelief. Finally he accepted the punishment, and excuse me to leave the teacher's room. Emma walked in the corridor with a look of laughter.she recalled the moment where all her classmates were looking at her suspiciously, what a very terrible gaze, more terrible than Jack's gaze.His teeth began to tremble, without realizing it, he is now standing in front of his class. Emma reached out her hand doubtfully, her little heart saying no but her hand just stretched out.

"It doesn't matter if I'm punished or responsible for something that wasn't my fault. But, can I ask for one thing here? Trust me if I don't do what you accuse me of, and don't .." said Emma in her heart, her hands opened the classroom door, everyone stared at her.

Emma stood staring, and now all eyes looked at her with a murderous look. It was truly terrifying, in this world there was nothing more cruel than the gaze of people. The mood of the class became tense, no one said a word. Emma again clasped the hanger inside her skirt.

"And don't look at me like I'm a thief" Emma said weakly.

Emma ventured to enter, past her unrelenting classmates staring at her and whispering some truly inappropriate words. On Emma's bench, there's Brian and Mugi. Emma stared at them for a moment and sat down without explaining anything to her two friends as if she did not heed their whereabouts. While the ignored, they were even more worried, near him the blonde girl.

"Emma, is that true? Explain to me chronologically, I will prove your innocence" asked Mugi.

"Emma, say something (meaning Brian write something) and don't just shut up" Brian said.

Emma raised her head, looking at them blankly. He wrote something on his note.

"How are you going to prove it? Will everyone believe?" ask Emma.

Emma's automatic question left Brian and Mugi stunned. They did not expect to get such a response. Does that mean Emma got it all?

"I'll find a way, Emma. I'll make everyone believe you" Brian said firmly.

Brian's story managed to attract the attention of the entire class, including Jack and his friends. Darren and Luke don't believe the allegations against Emma, but they have no evidence to defend Emma and choose to keep quiet. While Jack, he sharpened his ears to hear what Brian would say next.

"I didn't ask for your help, Classroom Leader" Emma and Brian wrote as if struck by lightning.

"Emma" murmured Brian in disbelief.

"I don't want to drag you into my troubles, I've had enough. I'd feel so guilty if you got punished" Emma wrote later.

"And I've decided to accept it all" Emma said in her heart.

Brian was stunned again, he was really amazed by Emma. Emma wasn't as weak as she thought all along, Emma was a tough girl. And Jack, sitting not far from them, scrunched his forehead guessing what Emma had written to make Brian's expression change. Yeah, Brian's eyes softened. He reached out and landed her on Emma's blonde crown and rubbed it with a beautiful crown to calm her down. This time Brian is not shy anymore, because he has promised to always be there for Emma. he did not care about the gaze of his classmates and still flashed a smile that would make anyone who saw it melt Emma was no exception. The tears she held filled her eyelids, her face began to turn red and she was down. Hiding his face because he didn't want everyone to see him cry.

"It's going to be okay, Emma" Brian said.

Suddenly . . .

"Ehem. I'm also here Emma, don't forget me" Mugi said breaking the romantic atmosphere that had flowed. Emma immediately rubbed her eyes and looked up, she tried to smile even though it was bland, but it showed that she was fine and made the two friends smile. "Yes, I think I'll help you, Brian" Nick said.

"Thank you, just this time I'm so grateful you're my cousin" Brian said.

"How . ." whine Nick and hook his hand on Brian's arm.

"Go away, I'm still normal" Brian said.

Looking at the scene, Emma was powerless to pull her lips and smile. A smile, everyone was stunned. A very beautiful and charming smile. Brian's face raises a tinge of red, he really can not be spared from the charm virus Emma Michelle who always attacked him without knowing the time and place. From far away, Jack snorted.

"You can still smile!" muttered Jack.

A long bell rang, indicating the class was over. The students leaned back, sighing unwinded fatigue and tension during study. Then quickly pack the school's belongings and equipment to prepare for the next activity. Some go straight home, picket, follow club activities or take a walk with friends.

Quickly, Emma packed her things. There are no club activities today. Mugi was surprised, he turned his head and asked his friend.

"Hey, Emma. Why the rush?" ask Mugi.

"I have punishment, Mugi. If not done immediately can not go home. I'm first yes, sorry" Emma wrote and immediately left class.

"Where's the hell is she going?" brian shouted and answered with a wave of his hand.

******

Classes 1-5 are empty. They are busy with their own activities. On the first floor, Emma was carrying a washcloth, cleaning fluid and a chair for the stampede. He started cleaning the windows. The flying dust made Emma sneeze but did not undo her intention to leave the punishment.

Jack walks lazily towards the back garden of the school after refusing Chloe's invitation to go home together. Darren's gone home because there's no club activity, and Luke's certainly going on a date. Jack sat in his favorite chair. He let out a long sigh and began to lie down with the bag as a pillow. He looked at the sky with a bright view.

"The sky is bright" murmured Jack.

Staring at the sky like that made Jack recall a memory he had long forgotten.

~ Flashback ~

In the summer, little Jack was running after a cat. He continued to chase until he did not realize that he was far from where his family had a picnic. Now, Jack is already in the forest, but not the creepy forest like in the horror films that his father often saw, but the trees are shady and quite beautiful in his eyes. Jack was stunned for a moment, but the sound of a cat broke his daydream. He immediately regained consciousness and searched for the source of the sound. From the bushes, the closer it became clear, he immediately went into the bushes and ambushed the cat. Yup, the cat was caught, but as if not to be caught the cat scratches Jack's face, Jack still survives and does not want to let go. The cat meowed loudly, Jack still did not want to lose. Suddenly a little girl appeared.

"What are you doing?" ask the little girl.

Jack turned his head, found a small blonde girl with very charming sapphire eyes.For a moment he fell silent, making his grip weakened and the cat managed to escape. Only then did Jack realize.

"Oh, Nico!" jack panicked.

"Ah, sick" Jack whispered as he held onto his cheek that had gotten a lot of scratches.

"Your face is bleeding! Waita minute! don't go anywhere, okay?" said the blonde girl. Jack said, I don't know why he wanted to. Shortly thereafter, the little girl came with a P3K box. He approached Jack and treated the wound on his face.

"Ouch" Jack said.

"Which fool would let himself be scratched by a cat" said the little girl.

"It was the cat that started it, not me" Jack replied curiously.

The little girl pressed the wound on Jack's face and Jack complained in pain. It didn't take long for the little girl to treat Jack's wounds.

"Yosh, already . ." said the little girl and fell silent for a moment looking at Jack's face which was now filled with plaster

"Hmmp" the little girl covered her mouth holding back a laugh, as if knowing what the child in front of her was laughing at, Jack puffed his cheeks.

"What's so funny? Is it because I'm a mummy?" ask little Jack.

"HAHAHAHA" the little girl couldn't help but laugh and Jack became embarrassed, a thin tinge appearing on both sides of her cute cheeks.

"Don't laugh at me, blond boy" said Jack still in his cute style.

"Don't call me blond, mud boy" said the little girl replying to Jack.

“Mud? Hey, even though I'm dirty right now, but I'm not full of mud!” jack said protest.

“I call you a mud boy not because you're dirty, but because your hair color is like mud.” Answer the little girl innocently.

“Enak only! My hair is caramel colored!” jack protested again.

"Suppit. By the way, why are you here?" ask the little girl.

"Certainly chasing after Nico" Jack replied definitely.

"You mean, that cat?" asked the little girl and answered a nod by Jack.

"Other times, be careful. What if the wound is severe, it could be used until you grow up" said the little girl advising.

"really?" Jack was surprised and holding his face, he again grimaced in pain.

"Oh yeah, I gotta go. Mama's gonna find me if she finds me not in the waiting chair. I go first" said the little girl as she stood up and began to move away.

"Hey, thank you, um .." said Jack timidly.

"Emma" said the little girl named Emma, who immediately went and disappeared from Jack's sight.

"Emm?" jack asked, tilting his head and raising one of his eyebrows.

~ Flashback End ~

"Emm" muttered Jack as he held his face.

After muttering Emma's name, Jack wakes up. He grabbed the bag and immediately left the garden. While Emma, she almost finished ¼ windows on the first floor. He shifted his chair and went back to cleaning the window. The clock has shown at 4.00 pm, he must immediately complete ¼ parts before evening. The school was also deserted, because all students had finished attending club activities. Must be completed or otherwise, there is no time to copy the material. Sweat splashed on Emma's forehead and soaked her bangs. Emma's clothes were not much different, sweat had soaked them. From afar, a pair of Emerald eyes saw him. The eye saw the figure of Emma who was bathed in sweat, he also saw Emma who had difficulty cleaning the window with her right hand still bandaged. Jack held onto his chest, something strange began to come to him. A pained feeling severed his mind.

"Why this? Nah! Not likely. Don't and never! I'm glad to see it that way! isn't this a good sight?" said Jack.

Feeling someone was watching, Emma looked over. But he didn't find anyone. Sure enough, no one still lives in school at this hour. He did not take a headache and returned to finish his punishment today.

Shortly thereafter, at exactly 4:30 pm Emma was finished. He took his bag and went home. It's late afternoon and soon after night. Emma walks alone, but when she gets outside the school, she stops. Emma's starting to fret. He was afraid that the father might come and drag him home, especially now that he was alone. Emma began to tremble, cold sweat began to pour out and her teeth began to twitch. He stepped his foot, but somehow it felt very heavy.

"Come on, step, step" Emma said in her heart.

Emma was still in her depression mode until someone's voice interrupted her.

"What are you doing? Are you practicing walking?" ask someone with a baritone voice and a very thin tone, who else if not.

"Jack?" emma said in her heart. I can't believe Jack hasn't come home yet.

Emma hasn't stepped up yet. Jack who had stepped a few steps in front of him stopped, he turned his head.

"Why are you quiet? don't you want to go home? Do you want me to drag you?" ask Jack coldly.

Emma's not flinching. Jack is upset and near her Emma, he grabs Emma's hand violently and pulls her. Jack's pull makes Emma regain consciousness and Emma can walk. Jack clasped Emma's hand, causing the girl to wonder.

"Why?" emma asked in her heart, she did not understand.

"Shut up and don't ask me why, or I'll push you down the street" Jack said as if he could guess what Emma was thinking.

Emma tentuku. He was again disappointed.

"Actually, what am I thinking? What was I expecting? Why have I been so disappointed lately when Jack treated me that way?" ask Emma to herself.

"Don't be happy just yet. I didn't do it because I wanted to. If I let you, maybe you won't move until nightfall. And if that happens, I'll be in trouble" Jack said.

"So the point is I'm just a troublemaker" Emma said in her heart.

"If you weren't here, maybe I wouldn't have gotten into much trouble" Jack continued.

Immediately Emma stopped her steps, she removed Jack's grip from her hand and Jack turned his head, his eyes sparkling a sign he was very angry. Emma did not dare look at Jack, she knew that Jack's eyes were terrible at this time. He wrote something in the note, and the note was torn and then given to Jack. He also left Jack.

[Sorry, I'm a troublemaker.]

Jack squeezed the note and threw it away. He looked only at Emma's back until it wasn't visible in his eyes.

"Yes, you're the troublemaker of my life, Emm" Jack said.

Emma walked in front while Jack was in the back. They kept walking like that until home. Mrs Azzury is certainly worried because Emma and Jack are coming home late. Near him are both. But, as if knowing that Jack was okay, he turned to Emma and made sure that no one was scuffed or less than the girl.again Jack was upset, he was inexhaustible with his mother who was worried about parasites like Emma. he left the living room and headed to the room.

"Emma, why come home late? Is something going on?" ask Mrs Azzury.

Emma shakes. Madame Azzury's forehead shriveled, she could read Emma's lying mimic. Moreover, Emma's dirty uniform, has become clear evidence that something happened to the girl.

"Don't lie, your uniform is dirty, are you punished?" search Mrs Azzury.

Emma flinched, she got caught. Finally he wrote in the notes.

"I'm fine, aunt. Don't worry" Emma wrote.

"Well, just for this time, Emma. Then aunt won't listen you say fine when there's trouble. Understood?" miss Azzury said of concern, Emma simply nodded.

Phone's ringing. Hendy picked it up, but then he called the hostess to answer the phone. It seemed like an important phone call, he asked Emma to clean up and prepare for dinner before he went to pick up the phone. Emma smiled wryly and obeyed the kind words of the aunt.

While Mrs Azzury picked up the phone which turned out to be her husband.

Mark: hello, baby.

Azzury: is there something important?

Mark: I think I'll be home soon.

Azzury: really? When's?

Mark: looks like tonight.

Azzury : WHAT?

At the end of the phone, Mark kept his phone away, not wanting his ears to buzz due to the shrill voice of the wife.

Mark: so, can you open the door for me?

With a flash Madame Azzury immediately slammed the phone. Very similar to Jack. Lady Azzury opened the door, in front of her the husband was already standing by showing off his grins. Seeing that, instead of being happy lady Azzury even hit the husband's head.

"Why did you hit me, baby?" mark's protest.

"What kind of husband who goes home does not say and knows already standing in front of the door with his cry? Hn?" lady Azzury asked with glaring eyes.

"Hahaha, I just want to surprise you? I made it, didn't I?" god Mark.

"Come in and clean your body" said the gracious mistress of Azzury, taking over her husband's luggage.

Emma's Room.

Emma had finished her bath and was wearing a simple dress but looked very pretty. He reflected for a moment, looking at his reflection in the mirror. Suddenly Virginia came in and asked her to come down because the great master had come home and wanted to meet Emma. Emma stood up, somehow she felt nervous.

In the dining room, Mark and his wife and Nathalie and Jack are ready in their seats, Emma comes with Virginia. Looking at the four complete Mark family members, Emma was slightly stunned. He remembered the time when he had also been like that. Sad feelings began to come to him, but Emma soon realized and rejected it. she saw the host. A crimson-haired man with a wrinkle line that is clearly visible on the face and has sharp emerald eyes as sharp as an eagle. No wonder he was Jack William's father. Slowly Mark's eyes softened, Emma looked at him with a sad and loving gaze. The same look as Nathalie.

"Emma, sit. We've been waiting for you" Mark said, and Emma sat down.

"You're so pretty Emma" praise Mark and make the others glare minus Jack.

"It's prettier than what I saw in the magazine first" Mark continued.

Being praised like that, makes Emma ashamed. He just bowed to hide his face that had been reddened like a plum. Seeing that, all chuckled and of course minus Jack.

"Emma, that's right. You're beautiful tonight. If I had a son, I would definitely get him to marry you later" Azzury said, unaware of what he said.

Jack glares. In her lyrics, the mother sharply. As if aware of what he said, Azzury's mistress silenced her mouth. He has a son and that is Jack. So if made clear, Azzury's mistress intends to match Emma with Jack.

"I think your mother slipped, Jack" Mark chanted, Jack just snorted and cursed in his heart.

"Which man would be with her?" jack said coldly.

"A.pa?" Mark frowned, digesting the words of his eldest son.

"I heard from Mikhailo that his son was close to Emma" replied Lady Azzury innocent.

"Wuah, really? Brian Petrenkov's? I didn't think he could be interested in a girl either. Usually he would subtly refuse the girl who wanted to approach him. It's interesting" Mark said with sparkling eyes.

Not wanting everything to misunderstand, Emma immediately wrote a note.

"I'm just friends, om, auntie" Emma wrote.

"It's okay if more than friends, om will support you. Brian was a good boy, he was an example of a girl's dream" Mark said.

Jack was offended, because the words of the father hit him. That is, he is not the male example his father meant.

"Can't you not exaggerate. Not necessarily as good as I thought" Jack responded.

"Perhaps, but Brian's chances are not good it's only 20%" replied the father.

Jack just clasped his spoon tightly, holding back the fury of anger over the subtle innuendo of his parents.

"Hey, Sister Emma. What if Emma's sister comes to the engagement? I'll make Emma's sister as pretty as possible until Brian doesn't blink" Nathalie said.

"Nathalie!" said the mother.

"Ops, sorry mom" said Nathalie and Mark laughing out loud.

Dinner was packed thanks to Mark. And Emma also enjoyed dinner this time, it felt different from before because Jack did not let out his sneer, maybe because once the sneer will be reciprocated with a flickering pout from the father. And tonight, Emma can smile. Jack doesn't like to see it.

"Don't be happy just because dad defended you. Yes here but not for school" Jack said in his heart.

Petrenkov Residence.

Brian came down from his room into the living room with a panicked face, he did not find his jar. He looked for a jar where he placed the cookies he had picked up from the trash.

~ Flashback ~

"Curtain! What am I doing!" lamented Jack then threw the parcel into a trash can that was not far from him

Soon, someone was standing near the trash can where Emma's cookies were thrown away. Someone picked it up. It was Brian.

"It's not worth Emma's efforts to end here" Brian said.

~ Flashback End ~

Brian found his jar that originally contained full cookies now only one remains. Just one. Brian's eyes were wide.

"Oh Brian, cookies are delicious. Where'd you get it?" ask the mother, Chassandra Petrenkov.

Brian turned his head, the mother with an innocent face came over while carrying a cup of warm tea. Brian's eyes sharpened, he was really upset. Though he intended to eat it tonight after dinner, but it turns out he was wrong. He forgot his biggest threat, his mother. Which incessantly insults him.

"Mom ate it all?" ask Brian not to believe it.

"Whatchu mean? There's still one left, right? Your mother is very good to leave one item for you" said Madam Chassandra while drinking her tea.

"A-P-A? One?" Brian was really shocked.

"Even after you've been idling cookies like that, I don't think you want to eat them, Brian" said Ms. Chassandra.

"Mom, I just want to eat it tonight" said Brian resigned while hugging the remaining jar of cookies made by Emma.

"I'm sorry, Brian. I'll make as many as you want. How much do you want?" ask Madame Chassandra to feel guilty.

"How many mothers make it, will not be able to replace these cookies. never mind, I want to sleep" said Brian and left his mother.

Mikhailo came down and passed Brian on the stairs, greeting his only son but there was no response. He was confused by Brian's attitude. He saw the wife who put on a lethargic face. He understood, his wife must have raped Brian again. He soon came down and approached his beloved wife.

"What's up, baby?" ask Mikhailo.

"I think Brian is angry with me" replied Madame Chassandra.

"Why?" ask Mikhailo again.

"I ate cookies in his room, I don't think he wants to be eaten. But it turns out that he waited tonight just to eat it" explained Madame Chassandra.

Mikhailo laughing. He did not understand the behavior of his two family members.

"What are cookies from someone? Could it be" guess Chassandra's mistress.

"I think I should apologize to my Brian" Chassandra said.

"Let it go, he'll be angry if you bother him now" Mikhailo said calmly.

"Oh yeah, you said someone, who is it? Brian was never close to any girl" Mikhailo said.

"Some, before he told me about a girl, but he didn't mention a name" Ms. Chassandra told me.

"I saw Brian with a girl at the hospital" Mikhailo told the story.

"What's? Don't-don't you? Will I have a grandchild?" ask madam Chassandra sparkling.

"Keep that fantasy of yours" Mikhailo lamented.

In his room, Brian slept on his stomach while hugging a jar that contained one cookie. He recalled the time when Emma wanted to give him those cookies. He was really happy at the time, but he refused Emma's kindness and ended up arguing with Luke until Jack seized him. But in the end, he only got one. It really is shit. He opened the jar, and he took cookies there. With hesitation, it bit off a bit of cookies, and it tasted really good. Brian immediately re-entered the cookies.

"I don't want to spend it, it's your work, Emma" Brian said, smiling and falling asleep.

******

That night, the weather was clear. The clock has shown at 23:45 but Emma has not yet gone to sleep, she is still busy with copying notes, she has copied 5 times. He was constantly yawning, his eyes were no longer able to compromise. But he did not give up before finishing 7 copies, as he only had a week to copy 50 times. Emma pulled out a talisman-shaped keychain. He watched her with a sad look.

In the next room, precisely the room of the eldest son of the William family, Jack had not closed his eyes. He recalled Emma having trouble cleaning the window with her hands still stuck. He also imagined Emma who was sweating and occasionally sneezing due to dust. Whereas earlier he was like a fool to install the girl he hated. It looks like Cheryl. But why did he do it?

"Why with me? Why is my body moving on its own? Just to wait for him to come home from completing the punishment?" Ask Jack to himself.

"I hate it, yeah . . . that's a reasonable excuse. If he doesn't exist, then I can't hate and hurt him. I .. .just want to make sure with my own eyes that he suffers" Jack continued.

******

It's been a week since Emma was convicted. Every time he entered the classroom, his friends always looked at him coldly. Emma could only tell herself that everything was going to be fine, as Brian had said. He has been punished, so he thinks he has accounted for his mistake because he was in the wrong place and time not because he stole. While Jeannette began to feel bad about Emma, occasionally she glanced at her friend who always looked down to hide her face with bangs.

Hours of Mr. lesson. Aldrick done. Mr. Aldrick asked one to collect the records. But with his selfishness, one of them asks Emma who collects. Emma didn't refuse, she just accepted. Emma went to the front of the class and wrote on the blackboard to have everyone gather up in front, coldly they gathered while glancing at Emma with a sharp gaze. Darren and Luke went forward, they just looked at Emma with pity. Mugi goes forward, he offers to help Emma, but is immediately rejected, considering this is his responsibility, he also does not want to trouble his friend. Brian and Nick move on.

"You can be alone?" ask Brian.

"Brian will help you" said Nick who was immediately followed by Brian.

Emma shook her head, which meant she refused. Seeing Emma who tried to persevere in holding the trust thrown at him, Brian was just resigned. Maybe this is Emma's way of regaining her friends' trust. Jeannette came forward, she opened her mouth to say something, but the sound of the baritone drove her away.

"Dam! Move over!" as Jack expels Jeannette, Jeannette is upset and leaves before she can say a word to Emma.

Jack put down his notes, he's the last one. Emma looked at him with intent.

"You think this way you can earn everyone's trust?" jack asked whispering.

"Never dream of being forgiven after you hurt their trust, Miss Michelle" Jack continued.

Emma just held the books in her hand tightly. It felt like his heart was being hit by a big hammer, and crumbled instantly. Very painful, even the most expensive drugs will not be able to treat. Slowly and fixed with her face down, Emma left the classroom.

"Hoi, how? You've persuaded Melvin?" nick whispered to Brian.

"Not yet, he still doesn't want to show his CCTV footage" Brian replied.

"How about asking Earlene for help?" nick said he thinks.

"No, Earlene would be furious if she heard Emma was slandered, and everyone would know. This matter has been kept secret by Mr. Tedd, I can't act rashly" Brian said.

Emma came down the stairs with a bunch of books. Without realizing it, something fell out of his pocket.

Jack got out of class, he was about to go to the toilet. In the corridor, he accidentally kicked something. He approached and observed the thing he kicked.a talisman-shaped hanger that was very shabby. It can not even be called a hanger anymore, according to Jack it is more correctly said as . . .

"Junk?" ask Jack.

"Who's taking out the trash?" muttered Jack and picked it up and he threw the hanger into the trash.

The next lesson is almost started. Classes 1-5 have Mr.'s schedule. Richard is none other than the homeroom teacher. Emma immediately ran to class, fortunately, she was not too late. Mr. Richard let Emma in, why? Because he is interested in this one student who is classified as intelligent. Emma sat down, she put her hand in her pocket to take the hanger in her pocket, but it was not there. He felt right pockets, left pockets, even shirt pockets, but nothing. The valuable hangers, gone? Emma panic. His forehead started to sweat coldly.

During Mr. lesson hours. Richard, math, Emma can't focus at all. The hanger is the only one. He was agitated and unceasingly moved his legs and knocked at the table impatiently waiting for the bell to rest.

The break bell rang, without command, Emma immediately left the class without caring about the teacher who had not left the class. He even ignored the cry of Mugi who invited him to lunch.

Emma searched along the corridor to her class, but nothing. He looked up the stairs, but still nothing. In the teacher's room, nothing. That's the only place he's been to this afternoon. Emma was completely down, confused to find where else, until she saw an old grandmother sweeping in the corridor of the second floor. The grandmother also brought a large trash can to remove the trash from a small basket in front of the class. Emma came closer, she wrote something to ask her grandmother.

"Sir, do you see a hanger here?" ask Emma.

"Hanger? Likewhat?" the grandmother asked, not understanding.

Emma immediately drew it on the note and held it up to the grandmother to make the old woman's forehead frown.

"I didn't see it" replied the grandmother.

******

Jack and Darren and Luke leave the school cafeteria not far from the school building. Luke rubbed his stomach a sign he was full.

"You're eating too much, Luke. Lookie! Your stomach is like a pregnant woman" Darren said.

"Better than that flabby belly fat" Luke replied.

"It's not fat, it's muscle. Muscles you know?" ask Darren.

"Do not know!" Luke replied as if he had not heard Darren.

"Obviously you don't know, you're a fool" Darren said.

"I'm not stupid, but a smart one that's delayed, remember that" Luke replied in defeat.

"Yes delayed, delayed 100 years more precisely" Darren said with a laugh.

"You're fighting? Hn?" challenge Luke to squint his eyes.

"If so, why? Can you beat me up?" challenge Darren narrowed his eyes and brought his face closer towards Luke.

"Don't be arrogant because you're a taekwondo prodigy" Luke said banging his forehead against Darren's forehead.

Jack sighed, he complained because Darren did like to make anyone's anger parameters ignite. Unwilling to take it easy, Jack passed by and left the two of them. The ones left behind had already clashed with each other and started to wrestle. It's been a lot of noise no matter where Darren is.

******

Emma continued to urge the grandmother, even asking her to recall whether she had ever seen the hanger in one of the places. While being urged to keep remembering but he never saw it. A student with a pocket-added hand stepped foot toward the second floor. Emma and grandmother were arguing, yes . . . . if seen by others more precisely the grandmother who was arguing with her own monologue. Jack passed them without Emma noticing, but his eyes glanced at Emma's note, which showed a picture of a hanger.

"Grandma didn't see it, really. Grandma hasn't cleaned it all up, but if you dropped it, it might have been taken away" she said.

Jack, who had walked not far from them, had heard about it, he remembered where he had thrown a shabby hanger in the trash can in front of class 1-3 a few hours ago. He immediately looked for the trash before Grandma cleaned it up. Yup, the hanger is still there even though it is covered in paper garbage. Grasping the hanger tightly, a grin began to adorn the face of his handsome.

Elsewhere, the OSIS room. Brian is facing four points with Melvin Stream. The head of the Osis Chorea Academy. A haired student pathalo gondrong. He is also the lover of the taekwondo club chairman, Earlene Carmine. But their relationship is arguably kept secret given the professionalism as a member of OSIS. Not wanting to linger, Melvin persuaded him to want to show CCTV footage around the second floor to him.

"Sister Melvin, please just this time" Brian asked.

"I asked, for what. At least explain why" Melvin replied.

"I can't tell you" Brian said.

"Then I can't, the CCTV footage is top secret, if I let anyone other than the OSIS members and teachers see it, then we'll be in trouble" Melvin said.

"I did it to prove that someone was innocent" Brian said.

"There's an OSIS here, why are you doing it alone?" search Melvin.

"Because we're trying to keep this matter a secret" Brian replied for sure.

"Should you say can you help and cooperate with me, chief? " melvin means he agrees.

The code given by Melvin makes the heart of a Brian Petrenkov happy not to reed. Melvin locks the door, inviting Brian into the server room. It is the information center of the Chorea Academy. There are many CPUs and monitors lined up there, not to forget a large panel that supports the Academy's electrical voltage. Melvin sat down and started accessing the network with his account.

"What time is it and where?" ask Melvin.

"The 14th is around 11:00 pm, precisely at the turn of the lesson around the 2nd floor" replied Brian approaching, his right hand held the back of Melvin's chair and his left hand he placed on the table to support his body.

Melvin opened all the recordings on the dates mentioned, then he started checking the recordings at 11:00. The footage came from a corner of a hidden wall on the stairs, he saw Jack coming down the stairs alone, according to Brian at the hour he should have been in the field.

"Can you sharpen the picture?" pinta Brian and Melvin.

"Stop! Repeat, slow down" Brian's orders make Melvin *sweatdrop , he who is notabane a senior and the chairman of OSIS is ruled by a junior, he sighed letting it, he let it go, rarely does anyone dare to be with him.

Now the footage shows Jack dropping out of class, and Emma walking into class. Brian clasped Melvin's backseat tightly, veins of anger poking out in his head.

"Is there CCTV in every class?" brian asked in a heavy voice, a sign that he was very serious now.

"certain. You didn't realize it?" ask Melvin back.

"I didn't see the camera in class" Brian replied.

"Daddy" Melvin commented.

"So you want to show it?" ask Brian back to serious mode.

"This is not free, if you want yes please if not yes already" Melvin said with an indescribable smile.

"What do you want, Chief?" ask Brian.

"YOU!" show Melvin.

"Me?" Brian scrunched his forehead a sign of not understanding.

"Next school year, you have to be the Chairman of OSIS in my place" Melvin said.

"No want! Whatever the origin don't be" Brian refused.

"Yes, just go. I'm not responsible if my mouth is leaking and informs Earlene of your behavior" Melvin threatened.

"Oh my God, not both. But if I refuse, I won't be able to help Emma and clear her name. Yeah, I'd do anything to make Emma smile again" Brian said.

"alright. I agree" Brian replied later.

"Eh?" Melvin was surprised, not usually Brian immediately agreed, he had often asked the chairman of the basketball club to join but was always rejected, even any threat would not ignite his stance. But this time, with just a single insistence, he had already agreed. Melvin wondered who Brian was defending and made him change that way. Someone deserves an award.

Melvin reads a database where CCTV footage of classes 1-5 is stored. Locker 2E. He took a DVD dated 14 this month.They went back to watching the recording, this time a small resolution picture, the recording showed the atmosphere of the class in the morning and accelerated to 10:30, 15 Minutes before the turn of the third lesson in grades 1-5.

"Small pictures.What camera are you using?" ask Brian.

"Of course the camera used for lurking. The size is small so the image quality is also not good. But it's so useful that it makes no one aware of its existence" Melvin replied.

"Where did you put it?" ask Brian with eyes that remain focused on the screen.

"Of course in the picture of Connor's grandfather I mean the principal who was attached in front of the class, more precisely in his right eye" explained Melvin.

"Well. . . . wait, why is Emma out of class?" brian asked followed by Melvin's confused look. He looks at Brian and the screen in turn, trying to digest and guess what is going on. And as it gets a click, it realizes something.

Shortly after Emma dropped out of class, the Recording showed . . .

~ Flashback ~

Jack was already on the field, but he reasoned to want to go to the toilet. It was just a lie, but he put his foot back into class, right and the timing was right. Emma was going to borrow a gym shirt for class 1-1. Classes are far from their class. A grin was engraved on his face. He approached Jeannette's bench, took a blue tosca cell phone and then his eyes were fixed on Emma's bag. With a flat expression as if without sin, he simply put Jeannette's phone into Emma's bag.

"Look at what was going to happen, Emma Michelle" said Jack and immediately left because he heard the sound of the footsteps approaching, he could guess that it was Emma. she exited through the front door just as Emma entered through the back door of the classroom.

~ Flashback End ~

Brian clenched his hands, his eyes flushed red withstanding the fury that could explode right then and there. Hot aura burst from his body, making the head of OSIS who was nearby stunned.

******

Last lesson, 1-5th grade. Everyone else is in class except Emma and Brian. Jack sat with his right hand propping his chin. His eyes could not be seen in the direction of the empty bench Emma. The fingers of his left hand fingers tapped on the table. Slowly, the front door of the class shifted, entering Emma with her head bowed. Again, everyone looked at him with a cynical look except Mugi, Darren, Luke, and Nick of course. Emma stepped carelessly towards her stool, Mugi immediately turned her head and asked her blonde friend.

"Em, where have you been? I'm looking for you, aren't you having lunch?" tanya Mugi.

Mugi's question seemed to pass in Emma's ear, which is in her brain and mind is to find a hanger. The hanger that had always accompanied him, because the hanger always brought him to a state where he would be fine. Mugi who felt unresponsive just sighed and clasped Emma's hand.

"Emma, tell me that you need my help" said Mugi with slightly glanced eyes at Jeannette, who was glimpsed with misdeeds and bowed listlessly. Then Mugi smiled.

The final lesson was English language and literature by Miss Bella. Emma did not budge and remained in her mind, suddenly the sound of baritone softly managed to suck her attention. Jack sat on the bench behind Emma, yes . . .. because the owner had been expelled Jack or rather forced to change seats with him.

"You looking for something?" whispered Jack and the owner of the long blonde crown turned his head. Emma nodded.

"What are you looking for?" asked Jack pretentiously, this time he changed his tone to be more friendly and friendly, Emma reached out her note. A picture of the hanger that Jack had seen.

"What's that?" jack asked curiously, this time he was really curious. Wh why? Because the hanger that Emma was looking for was a worn hanger and not clear characters written on it.

"A very precious hanger for me" Emma wrote.

"really?" jack's eyes were round, this time he looked like a plain little boy. But in his heart, he was very happy to hear that fact.

"I accidentally dropped it, but I couldn't find it anywhere" Emma wrote.

"Then, why don't you ask Grandma behind the school? He used to clean up a lot, so who knows if he got swept up and dumped in the trash?" jack said he gave advice.

"I asked him, but he said he didn't know" Emma lamented in the note.

"AH!" Jack said as he tapped his left palm with his right fist.

"Then it must have been picked up by people and it's over at the dump" Jack said later.

"What?" emma asked in her heart, she could not believe it.

"If you don't look for it soon, it might disappear. Soon grandma will be burning garbage in the landfill" Jack said.

Emma standing. Miss Bella who saw asked Emma to sit back, but instead of obeying the teacher, she went out of class without saying a word. Near the classroom, more precisely when he opened the door, he found Brian standing in front of him. The young man was about to speak, his lips were already open, but he was skipped and left behind, while Miss Bella only shook her head to find out the behavior of her students.

"The one's out, so can you come in, Brian?" miss Bella and Brian came in.

Where's Emma?

Emma went to the landfill just like Jack said. It was a little far from the school building. There smelled a little pungent, Emma didn't cover her nose. Now his eyes and mind were blinded, all he knew was to find the hanger in the mound of trash as soon as possible before it was all burned away. Without a second thought, Emma opened her school coat, shoes and socks. Don't forget he rolled up his shirt arm and got into the mound of trash. His hands were rummaging through the trash there, his eyes were starting to glaze over. That afternoon, the sun seemed to be unable to compromise, with the roar of the sun shining on a blonde girl who was now dirty and messy. Very hot and Emma began to thirst, sweat poured all over her body, even bangs and hair until wet like shampooing.

"Where? Whereabouts? Where's?" emma asked in her heart, now she could not hold back her tears anymore.

The clear liquid flowed smoothly out of Emma's blond eye patch.with trembling hands as a result of restraining the sobbing, Emma kept looking.

It's been hours Emma's been looking. Her body began to fatigue and she fell on the mound of trash, but Emma strengthened herself to get up and keep looking. Although the power is exhausted, but with his spirit makes his hands and feet can still be moved. His eyes were also swollen from crying too much, now he was just a sensation while dismantling the garbage in front of him.

******

The lesson hour is over. Jack looked excited, he looked out and looked at the directional clouds.

"Maybe by now he's exhausted and giving up" Jack said in his heart.

Jack smiled to himself, the devil's smile. Until Darren's voice makes it back to the real world.

"Dam! You're not in the club? Brian and Nick are gone" asked Darren.

"Sure I'm going!" jack answered happily.

Emma wiped the sweat with her dirty hands. It was 2pm but he did not manage to find what he was looking for. Suddenly the grandmother came, she was surprised to see a student who had no clear identity because his face was too dirty and his clothes were messy and dirty and smelly.

"Geez, what are you doing there, son? Are you still looking for him?" ask the school cleaner grandma and Emma out of the place. Grandma approached Emma and scolded her.

"What are you thinking, son? It's all rubbish, why did you tear it apart until you were like this? what if your parents knew this, they'd be furious" said the school's cleaning grandmother.

The word old man is taboo in Emma's ear. No one would worry, because if it was her father then she would instead berate Emma for foolishly touching such trash. If only her mother were still alive, surely what she said would be true.

"Hurry home and clean your body, son" said the grandmother.

Emma took out a note from her skirt, the note also got dirty.

"I still have the penalty of cleaning the window, grandma. I'm leaving first" Emma wrote.

Grandma stared in disbelief. It's like that but still want to carry out the punishment? She thought Emma had crossed the standard of patience. And finally grandma did not burn the garbage.

Taekwondo club room.

Earlene circulated her gaze looking for the figure of the blonde-eyed sapphire girl who lately enlivened her club. He saw Darren coming alone, near him the raven-haired young man.

"Where's Emma?" ask Earlene.

"So, he skipped the last lesson and hasn't come back until the end of class" Darren said.

"Emma? truant? Is that true? is something going on?" earlene and Darren asked with a smile.

Behind them, Jason and his friends are in a mess. They heard rumors that Emma was punished by Mr. Tedd and required to clean windows all over the first floor for 2 weeks. But their question was, why didn't Darren say anything? Very suspicious.

"Why is Darren like keeping things a secret?" jason asked in a whisper.

"I think something happened in their class. It cannot be Mr. Tedd gave such a heavy penalty just for not carrying a sports shirt? I was told at best to copy the material or run around the field" Gabriel replied.

"It's weird" said Nate holding onto his chin.

"We investigate" said Jason and the three of them posed strangely to make all the members of the sweatdrop see him.

"Investigate what?" earlene asked, Jason and his friend were misbehaved, however they kept the gossip from reaching the maroon-haired leader's ears until there was a fact that really proved it.

"That . . I think Emma was punished by Mr. Tedd" said Gabriel Keceplosan.

"Hn? Being punished? Why?" earlene asked with her demonic aura.

"I heard Emma didn't bring a gym shirt and was sentenced to clean the window for 2 weeks" Gabriel continued without sin, Jason elbowed her but it was too late. Gabriel had already said it smoothly without the slightest hitch.

"Isn't that overkill?" earlene asked again, and the three of them began to break out in cold sweat. Nate blamed the talkative Gabriel, and Gabriel just grimaced and smacked his lips.

"Even so, Emma still has to take responsibility for her actions" continued Earlene, and they can breathe a sigh of relief.

While in the indoor field. Where the basketball club is, all the members are practicing, but not with Brian. From then on he just kept quiet and stared intently at Jack from afar, while the one who was stared at felt uncomfortable. He felt there was something strange with Brian, finally he was out of the game at the change of players. Near him the chairman, Brian just put on a flat face trying to hide his anger.

"Is there something, chief?" ask Jack.

"That's how it is" Brian replied in a heavy tone.

"You're looking at me like your eyes are punching holes in my head" Jack said.

"Is that so? Good" said Brian raising the corner of his lips, Jack saw that and certainly did not like it, he felt offended.

"I feel like I didn't do anything to make you angry" Jack said.

"Yes, it's not me, it's someone else who has a place in my heart" Brian said. Hearing the chief's words, the veins on Jack's head poked out, he clasped his hands tightly.

"Should you be like this, this is too much, chief" Jack said coldly.

"You're overreacting to such a whim" said Brian and Jack stood up, Brian just leaning his head towards Jack meaningfully.

"What do you mean?" jack asked raising his tone.

"Must I say it, if I say it everyone will know. You sure you're gonna?" challenge Brian.

"I don't understand what you're talking about" Jack said. Brian stood up, he stood right in front of Jack, their distance was very close. Lightning snatched from Brian's eyes as if he wanted to kill Jack right then and there.

"Why did you do that to Emma?" ask Brian sharply.

"What?" asked Jack Innocent, he began to understand the direction of the club chairman and the chairman of his class.

"Should I say it? Haven't you heard that before?" ask Jack.

"Because . . . I HATE IT" Jack said sharply.

Brian grabbed Jack's shirt and gripped him, he was really angry at this time.Ended up the patience he held, according to Jack very late. Not even on his face was the slightest trace of regret.

"You challenge me, chief?" ask Jack.

"Did I say I challenged you? " ask Brian back.

"Respect, Chief. He's just a parasite that can perch wherever he wants. And stupidly you want to be stopped" said Jack cynically.

"Take your talk, Jack!" brian shouted, his teeth were battering.

"Conscious, Brian!" said Jack hit Brian hard in the face, the punch was able to tear the lips of a Brian Petrenkov and he crashed backwards. Not to be outdone, Brian clenched his hand and returned Jack's punch. Same hard blow. They also fight, fight each other's fists and death gazes. But this time it was not a fight of no quality as Darren and he used to do, but a fight between their ideology and beliefs.

The club members who heard the rowdy stopped the training, their eyes glaring to find their chairman was fighting with their hero, Jack William. Immediately they approached and tried to break up, but as if they had been possessed by demons, the two did not want to be separated, they instead threw out anyone who tried to break up. Among them there was a tremble considering Brian had never been this angry and he was not a typical person who would throw his fist just because of trivial things.

"Brian! Stop that!" scream Nick.

"Fuck your trust, Brian!" jack said on the sidelines with him.

"Shut your mouth, Jack!" brian said to reply.

On the first floor, Emma cleaned the window with a hole, she had no more energy. His body trembled and he drowned on the floor. Mr. Richard came out to go home, he accidentally saw Emma sitting on the floor. He approached and was surprised to find the condition of his students.

"Emma, what's going on? Why are you like this? huh uh?" ask Mr. Richard with a fierce voice but implied that he looked worried.

"Exercise punishment" Emma wrote.

"Then what about your uniform? Why are you so dirty?" ask Mr. Richard again. "I accidentally slipped in the back garden, sir" she wrote.

"Forget about punishment. Right now, you're home. It's already 3pm, finish today's punishment, I'll tell Mr. Tedd" said Mr. Richard.

Slowly, Emma stood up, she was out of balance, making the heart of the homeroom slightly soar. He was able to stand up and smile as if nothing had happened. Mr. Richard sighed and left Emma because he had a date with Miss Marie this afternoon. Before leaving, he again reminded the student to come home soon, because it might rain this afternoon.

Emma packed up the equipment she was carrying and headed to the classroom.

Jack walked down the corridor grunting, completely exhausted after a fight with Brian. His face was battered, his lips were torn, and his eyes were swollen. It was terrible, in a matter of minutes his handsome face was already beyond recognition. He cursed, blaming Emma.

"Braven you, Emma Michelle. You managed to get me into a fight with the chairman" said Jack.

While Brian had gone home first, this time he chose to be picked up rather than be embarrassed because his face was already like a monster. The school was deserted, Jack never left the school.he stood in front of the lobby, looking up at the cloud that began to gather, the rogue red cell phone from his pocket. He pressed the quick button number 5, Hendy. But it has not been connected, the phone is dead.

"Damn! Why at a time like this!" moaned Jack. Just then, the raindrops began to fall soaking the land. Cool the atmosphere that a few hours ago was greeted by the sun. The wind began to blow, blowing away her caramel hair that was now in disarray and her injuries, were sore. Jack grimaced in pain. In a matter of seconds, the rain began to rain.

"There is no worse day than this!" jack said he could not go home because there was no invitation and he did not bring an umbrella. He took his wallet in search of money that he could use to bribe the school guards to lend him an umbrella, but nil. The money he had spent on the snack earlier in the cafeteria, Jack was really upset until suddenly his nose smelled a very sharp smell. The smell of dirt, garbage, dust, anyway very disgusting.he turned his head, beside him already stood a blonde girl with a messy look and uniform and a very dirty face. You cannot really be called a human. Jack scrunched his forehead. Emma looked at the caramel-lined young man beside her, their eyes staring at each other. Time seemed to stop, just rain as if it became the music of the two gaze attendants.

"Emm? She's she? Wh why? At a time like this, at a point where I really didn't want to see him he was in front of me? Staring at me with her sapphire round eyes that seemed to be able to strip me. Why?" ask Jack in your heart.
