THE PERFECT TIME TO DIE

(CHAPTER 16) NEW RULES

NEW RULES

Traces of him, still implied in this house. I once again did a stupid thing, which I immediately regretted that second as well. After that kiss, Keira vanished without a word. A small push from Keira towards my body, instantly put an end to that stupidity. I really don't understand myself, and the reason behind me doing that.

While I continued to weigh my actions, I still did not find an answer. How I met him tomorrow, led me to a feeling of worry. I wasn't ready yet, my doorbell rang again. I'll scream at someone behind that door, make this chest shake. If it was him, what attitude would I give, just thinking about it would have driven me crazy.

After continuing my anology, I became another me. After the door opened, I saw Keira standing with her flat face. Just a flat gaze, as usual, as if nothing had ever happened. And I'm grateful for it.

“Tas cave misses.” Keira said with a flat face.

“Oh, take aja.” My answer.

Keira then went in and took her bag which was on the old sofa of my living room. On the other hand, I was just waiting for him at the door. After Keira took her bag, she just looked at me who was still staring at the door.

“Turn cave first yes.” Said Keira.

“Iya.” My answer.

Keira left with my anxiety, my door shutting all the hard work of my unnatural attitude. Then I fell limp with my true look. I kept blaming myself, and I didn't know about all the things, which I knew, tonight was going to be very long.

Just as I thought, the night was long and my drowsiness was defeated by thoughts about all the events of today. Today I keep doing things that I am not, I want to turn the time machine so that it never happens.

On the other hand, I continued to doctrine myself about Keira's bad destiny, my heart as a witness. How ruthlessly, I kept attacking myself. And I realized that I was a very bad person, because I was eaten and pattered and immediately threw away all the events of today.

**

The cold weather greeted me when I opened my door. I close my body to reduce the cold of the morning. The bus drove me to school, the traffic jam of the capital's streets was a reasonableness.

And huddling while jostling with other passengers was an additional torment I had to endure. At seven o'clock, I arrived at school. It was seen the children running around rushing into the school.

I too was swept away by the euphoria and rushed in with them. By the time I got to class, Keira was already on her bench. As usual, she was reading a book, I just kept quiet and sat on my stool right next to her.

Today, Keira as usual. There was no change in his attitude, just sitting still and staring at the book on the table, I was grateful for that.

Many thoughts were lodged in my mind earlier, I was afraid Keira would get angry, but it seemed like she had already forgotten about yesterday's events. Mr. Amir then drove away the boisterous atmosphere of the class, as usual Keira as the class leader also guided us to give greetings to Mr. Amir.

“Yes kids, math assignment last week in kumpulin in front.” Pinta Pak Amir's.

Mr. Amir's request then makes the children busy issuing their workbooks, as well as Keira. While I was, just frozen in my stool. I remember the task, but I just kept quiet and could only keep quiet.

After what happened yesterday, I don't know what to do. Amidst my silence, I was shocked when Keira gave me a book that I already had my assignment in it, a special book that Keira and I prepared after the ridiculous agreement in class that time.

Without looking at me, he gave the book and then rushed to the front of the class to deliver his duties to Mr. Amir's desk.

While the other children were busy delivering their duties, I just fell silent staring at the book Keira gave me.

I don't know why, I feel guilty for him. Just to think, it doesn't seem right. I shouldn't have accepted the deal and remained who I was before.

“Udah all?” Ask Mr. Amir.

Time goes on, while I'm still silent about my thoughts. Beside me, Keira was just looking at me. Time kept pushing me, and I hated it. And shamelessly, I delivered the book, to Mr. Amir's desk.

This is nothing and will not affect me at all, because it is nothing. Those words, which I instilled in me. After we all finished collecting the task, Mr. Amir began his boring lesson.

Today, she tied up her hair, and it looked good because she looked beautiful. His eyes were unmoved and continued to stare at the blackboard while busy scraping the science in his book.

Today, there were dark circles under his eyes. I wondered what was bothering him the night. Was it because of yesterday, but I don't think so.

“What are you doing again?” Mr. Amir said as he reached for my ear.

I was surprised when Mr. Amir's hand reached my ear, I woke up from my sleeping position. And I saw the attention of the children in the classroom, fixed on my desk and Mr. Amir, including Keira who was next to me.

“Since when did the whiteboard move not in front? You're thinking Keira?” Ask Mr. Amir while fretting and shortly take off my ear.

Mr. Amir's words, made the whole class rumble by voicing cheers to me. I saw Keira just looking at me flat and looking back at her book. At that time, it felt like I wanted to disappear from this world, but before that, I would hit Mr. Amir twice in the face, because of him I had to experience this kind of shame.

“You haven't answered your question yet! Why are you looking at Keira? You like her?” Ask Mr. Amir to me.

Again, Mr. Amir's question made the children more excited to tease me. I kept thinking of ways to get out of this situation.

Thinking kept me aware, how stupid I was and regretting never having read a book before. Although I know, this situation has never been in any textbook. I kept searching for words, but I remained stuck with those eyes and prejudices.

Until the class bell saved me. Mr. Amir smiled and left me, the class was disbanded in the students who scattered out of the class. I was relieved, because I managed to avoid the problem, but another problem came and it seems that today, I will be busy explaining something.

“Cave to school roof.” Pinta Keira with a flat face.

Keira took me to the roof of the school, and we both stood at the highest point of the school. The blazing eyes of the day and the whirring of the wind also accompany our conversation. He looked angry, and I knew very well the reason behind his anger.

“Lu what the hell? you want the cave to lose huh?” Ask Keira.

I just fell silent with Keira's words. I honestly don't understand what he said and the purpose of his words. As I searched, he explained the sentence with anger filling him.

“Gua can not deny your feelings, because it's your right but honestly cave does not want to lose in this election.” Complete Keira.

After I heard it, I understood the meaning and purpose of his words. He didn't want to get caught up in a love scandal with me, because for him the fact that I liked him was a mistake that might have cost him the OSIS chairman election.

And hearing her words made me relieved, even though my little heart was slightly hurt and made me realize that I was in the lowest caste in school. I actually wanted to explain that her prejudice about me liking her was a misunderstanding. Although at first, I had mentioned myself, but that's what I tried to believe that I didn't like Keira.

“And if you do something like yesterday, our agreement is off. And the cave will report to Mr. Amir that you threaten the cave, make your duties and maksa cave to give cheat for you when repeat.” Complete Keira and leave me.

Keira left, with her anger. I just kept quiet, and accepted all his words. Just looking up at the sky, and igniting the cigarette that was in my pants pocket, hoping for my mood to return after all the hassle of today.

After a few puffs, I was a little better. But again, Mr. Amir again ruined my day.

“Enak right huh? I thought the school was a fire, it turns out your mouth is a fire.” Mr. Amir said.

Seeing Mr. Amir, I also threw away the cigarette in my hand. Without warning, Mr. Amir's hand was already in my ear. In addition to my math teacher and homeroom teacher, Mr. Amir also served as a BK teacher at my school.

And I realized, that today I was really unlucky. While still pulling my ear, Mr. Amir took me to the school basketball court. After arriving, Mr. Amir then release his hand, my skin feels like it also wants to break up. After that, Mr. Amir then looked at me sharply.

“Coupling path 15 rounds.” Pinta Pak Amir's.

Mr. Amir left after saying the punishment, on the other hand I just bowed my head, this is the first time, I was caught smoking in school.

And I had no other choice, and began to walk squatting on the basketball court with the hot sun and the asphalt heat of the basketball court. I continued to walk squat as requested by Mr. Amir, my thighs also felt like dislodging. And maybe, this is the last time, I smoke in school.
