The Secret With Bad Boy

Old buddy

On the basketball court at the moment Kala is. A very long time he did not do, which is to play basketball. His opponent this time was Riko.

In his hand, Kala drible the ball and moved to avoid Riko's attack. He moved nimbly across Riko's defensive line. Riko had stopped him, trying to seize the ball in the hands of Kala. But Kala was too agile and his movements were unexpected so Riko had difficulty snatching the round ball from Kala's hands.

Right now, they stood bowing to each other, facing off with wary gazes at each other. They look for opportunities to beat their opponents.

“Gue give ten points if you can win my challenge,” challenge Riko who grins sarcasm.

It's like dejavu where they used to play basketball and bet to outperform each other.

“What's the reward if my point can be full today?” Challenging times.

“Lo can grab my PS.”

Kala smiled broadly at Riko's reply. Of course he was so eager to get the point in order to collect the promise that Riko mentioned. He focused more and more along with the sweat that was increasingly pouring soaked his face, hair and all over his body.

In one move, Kala turned her body, turned her back to Riko and the basketball hoop, then stood up straight. He closed his eyes for a moment, estimating the possible distance between him and the ring.

Riko's challenge is to insert the baskes ball into the ring with the position to turn back to the ring. And this time, Kala took on the challenge.

Kala sighed deeply and then exhaled slowly. He tried to feel the blood flowing in his body as well as the heartbeat he was trying to calm down. In his mind, he imagined the basketball hoop before him with enough distance for him to reach.

After feeling confident, Kala threw the ball behind him. The ball soared to make Riko raise his head. The ball was falling curved following gravity and in a matter of seconds, the,

“WOHOWWW!!!” Riko cheered as she surged. The basketball that Kala threw actually went into the ring.

Kala immediately opened his eyes and turned around, sure enough, the ball was still bouncing on the field after breaking through the ring hole.

“GILAKK!!! Lo cool anjirr!!” riko shouted while hugging Kala. He embraced Kala with anxiety and patted Kala's face with both hands to make Kala laugh wide.

Wait, are they this close?

Yeah, they're very close.

In the past, Kala, Riko and Demian were close friends before the fire country tempest attacked the Kala and Demian families. Everywhere they are always three, compact doing anything and all three look always together. But then they decided to take their own paths, breaking the closeness of each other because they felt their friendship could no longer be continued.

Riko knows Kala well. He knows every problem of his friend. He also knows when he should approach and when to stay away from the former chairman of his genk. In this one year, he decided to stay away as Kala had asked.

The reason for that was because Kala always felt that Riko was on Demian's side. Riko's neutral attitude, still trying to bring her two best friends closer, actually made Kala assume that Riko was on Demian's side. Maybe because Kala feels like the person most betrayed by his own best friend. So whatever Demian did looked so annoying to Kala.

Their closeness is accidentally re-established when Riko accidentally finds out that Kala is in the UKS room right on the day Kinanti was treated harshly by Frea and her friends. They are only hindered by the patient bed separation curtain. Kala eavesdropped on all of Riko's conversations with Kinanti including the threat of the father moving Kinanti if he knew Kinanti in the school's bull.

“Why? You want to disturb him?” Riko was straight chimed in and alert.

Kala just smiled. “Lo always thought I was that bad.” Kala with the look on his face that always looks disappointed whenever talking to Riko.

“Sure, because you yourself are positioning yourself to look that bad. You act like this actually to make your book law what yourself?” asked Riko without hesitation.

"Silence, traitor!"

Not the answer that Riko received but a rough push made Kala until Riko's body hit the wall.

The tall man clasped the collar of Riko's shirt tightly and his grinning smile, was terrifying. Don't ask her about her sharp, cold gaze, it's really intimidating.

“Lo needs someone's help but you're acting like a hotshot. Gua is not afraid of lo Kal,” challenge Riko bravely. He had been lazy to see the behavior of Kala as he pleased and now even intend to disturb Kinanti by doing strange things such as giving her chocolate.

“Lo can be stubborn but do not play tricks on women. Remember, who again you keep even a woman, namely nyokap lo!” riko firmly.

Kala's eyes barked for a while but then he seemed to wake up. He really hated when Kinanti acted as if she was demeaning him by paying for the food he bought. At that time he was very embarrassed and hungry at the same time.

In addition to the more attention Demian gave to Kinanti, making Kala curious to want to disturb the calm of Demian. He wants to ruin every fun thing Demian does. Doesn't that make him satisfied?

“And you know what the current cause of Kinanti is in UKS? It's because of you! Because of your chocolate lo!” riko's speech was like a sudden slap on her face.

“He's not wrong but you got him in trouble. If your target is all because you want to ngegus Demian, do not act like a coward that involves women in your game. I know, you're not that sissy.”

Riko spoke firmly, she also shook Kala's hand which was clutching her collar.

Kala's hand was clenched but he never dared to land it on Riko's face because he realized his best friend's speech was right.

“If you want to defeat Demian, show that you are more capable than he is not even acting as a loser. I think, rather than you disturb Kinanti because you want to ngusify Demian, mending lo ask for help with him. So that your life of this jerk is not destroyed very.”

Riko's sentence sounds like a painful trick especially when added with her sarcastic grin.

That was when Kala seemed to rethink his plan to disturb Kinanti. He saw clearly that Demian was looking at Kinanti in a different way, he was sure that Demian was putting his feelings on Kinanti, at least in awe.

But it seemed, a person who liked to show off his achievements like Demian, would be easier to drop when his achievements were broken. Then there is no harm if he tries to re-position himself into a rival Demian.
