The Strange School

Acted

Author Pov's

In the school parking lot, it was clear if the reporters were swarming the entrance gate to the classroom. School guards, gardeners, and school staff are facing journalists who insist on entering to interview the headmaster and of course with Aira who yesterday was mentioned even highlighted by the camera.

The set!

Someone pulled Aira's hand away from there, heading towards the back gate of the school.

"Ehh, uh, stop!" Aira brushed her hand.

"Why? You want to get caught by a reporter?"

"No need to be prestigious just because you are angry as I continue to not want to be helped! It's spit!" Tama pulls back Aira's hand helping her get into class. Aira did not dwell because it was slapped with Tama's words that fit the facts. And on the other hand Aira was afraid to be beside Tama.

As they passed through the back of the classes, it sounded vaguely that many disciples were talking about Aira because of yesterday's news. Their conversation was heard through the back window.

"Eh, you guys don't feel that?! Since the new kid, our school seems to be getting sane"

"First, he moved here right after news of Shinta's body being found"

"Secondly, the photo of him that was widespread on the site, until Bian willing his hand to apologize. And like, the photo is real, there is no touch of edit"

"Three, Rida's case"

"Fourth, the case of Shinta who killed Bian?!"

"In addition, Bian mentioned Aira in the news yesterday. Aye right?!" said one of the girls in the class.

"Don't you, Aira moved here to help cover up Bian's murder case again?! It fits the timing. Just moved, Aira same Bian already looks very familiar, huh?? There's a rumor they're dating, right?" the other word.

"Yes, yes, so is your theory" - woman 1

Aira who heard the conversation of the woman only mused sadly.

Geck!

Tama threw a pebble towards the window of the women's class. Those who were shocked peeked at who threw stones at the window.

"If you don't know the facts of diem!" Tama warned them.

The woman just rolled her eyeballs while turning her lips did not receive Tama's advice.

Tama escorted Aira even to the bench Aira and handed Aira to Henna so as not to feel too sad. Just entering class, the gazes of his classmates were already unpleasant.

"Hen, drop it. Take care of him, his condition again gini problem"

"Beres it mah!" Henna held up her thumb.

"I go first huh" Tama was about to wipe Aira's hair, but Aira kept her head away from Tama's hands not letting Tama touch her. I feel ashamed and offended. Embarrassed because there were Aira classmates who watched, offended by Aira's response as if saying that Tama was "Dirty Rock".

Then Tama tightened her grasp to hold back the embarrassment. Her sweet gaze turned into a sharp gaze just before she actually left.

"First to hen!" pamit Tama to Henna with a fake smile.

"Yes, be careful" said Henna.

"Dad! How anyway! What if he was offended? He must be ashamed too!" henna Oceh.

"Let's go!"

"What is your problem not done yet? Seriously what the hell is until now has not been done well?!" - Henna.

"Banget! This is serious!"

"Me-nyang-kut NYA-WA! know?!" Aira insisted that Henna no longer talk about this.

"You duh! Whatever!"

Right at the second break when Aira and Henna were sitting leisurely in the park enjoying their drinks, there was someone who had suddenly come without a greeting.

"I need to talk to you" he said.

"Yuhukk uhukk! Is! Ngagetin is it?!" Henna choked on her drink in surprise.

"M..what are you talking about?" Aira nervous.

"There anyway. Important!" -Tama.

"Yaudah by the way" - Aira.

"No, we should talk to each other" - Tama.

"Jaudah if that is what I am" - Henna was about to move from her place but her hand was prevented by Aira.

"No! Henna should stay here. If not, you don't have to talk" Aira said. This atmosphere made Henna awkward and could only fall silent between Aira and Tama.

"It's both of us. Don't bring your friends too dong" Tama began to lose patience.

"When Henna goes, I go too!" - Aira.

"Haffhhh.... Don't make me lose my patience again Ai!"

"Uhmmm, ouhhh ehehe, sorry yaa, oh so bad it ruined the atmosphere. Yeudah times Ai, I can't papa go. Tama actually said this is your problem, Tama must also feel uncomfortable talking about your problems if there is me. You two talk, I'll go!" Henna forced Aira to take off her hand and let her go.

Aira had coded Henna with a headband so that she would not leave, but Henna instead returned the code to Aira so that Aira would immediately let go of her grasp. Apparently Henna did not understand very well what Aira meant and did not know the actual situation. Aira did not want Henna to leave because she was afraid of Tama, like before who went everywhere. Things have changed now.

"Henna! Henna!!" Aira calls Henna back but is ignored by Henna.

Aira's heart pounded even more as Henna completely disappeared from her sight. There was only Tama who had put on an annoyed face right in front of him. Not wanting Tama to know, Aira tried to hide her fear and nervousness.

"Ma.want to say what?" Aira braced herself looking into Tama's eyes.

"When do you think you keep going?"

"You're angry, ignoring me, even dodging the kayak?!"

"No, I don't have that. I just didn't want you to touch me. It just so happens that when you want to touch, I shift my position"

"No! It doesn't look like 'Continue to' know! You intentionally!"

"Udah, don't believe me continue. I was confused about doing it again. Apologize in any other way. Do I need to do the same thing as Bian did!"

"STOP! Don't talk about it anymore! You don't know how much effort I made to forget everything that concerns him?!"

"Judah sorry!"

"You're angry because I got into that business, right? Yaudah I'm going to stay in that business"

"This time the problem is different. And I really cannot reason this matter" - Aira.

"What other problems? You talk to me who obviously let me understand if I'm wrong in this part of the section, I also become easier to fix it"

"Can't! It is almost impossible to fix!" - Aira.

"Why can't it? What's the problem?"

"When 7 o'clock begins" the sound of the entrance bell has rang making Aira a little relieved because it can be separated from Tama.

"Udah in! I'm Irfan's time" Aira used her killer teacher's name as an excuse.

"Wait first! If this is what you want, don't blame me if I use my own way!"

Aira ignored him.

Aira's classroom atmosphere is rowdy because it gets good news if the teacher who teaches does not enter.

"No ah Hen! I changed my mind. I'm males"

"That part is just the logic, not the facts!" aira's last sentence said with a flinch of her own.

"Huh?! By what?" Henna did not hear.

"Huh?? Ng.no really"

"What really didn't happen?! What because of you bete, badmood has run out to fight again with Tama earlier?" - Henna.

"No, no"

"Yaudah you just give news to mbak Indah if it does not become dateng" - Henna

"Have you!"

"Hufhhhh..iya yaaaa" Henna resigned because of Aira's completely tangled face.

Time shows at 19:12 but at that hour Aira just woke up from his sleep because so tired of body and mind, home school he immediately fell asleep with the uniform he was still wearing.

As soon as she woke up, Aira quickly looked for towels and clothes instead to take a shower immediately. But as it turned out, once in the bathroom, he ran out of soap and had no more stock. Wanted to use her father's soap, but her father hasn't come home yet and must have locked his room. Forced he had to buy soap first in the minimarket near his home.

With a uniform that stinks of sweat and only covered with a jacket that he usually wears, he walked lazily out of his house to the minimarket near his home. Surprisingly, the streets looked quieter and more thrilling than ever. Either that or just Aira's feelings. Aira resisted that thought because it was possible that this was an innate feeling of just waking up and life had not accumulated all.

As Aira began to walk away from the fence of her house, Aira noticed that someone was wearing a navy blue jacket, black jeans, black and white shoes, wearing a mask and a silent black hat stood directing the corner of his body right to the house of Aira like a thief who was eyeing someone's house in front of a closed shop. Aira had a strange feeling when she first saw that person, why would that person just stand in front of a closed shop and look at her house? Ah never mind, Aira doesn't want to take a headache. He had to immediately buy soap and return home to take a bath because his body was already sticky all because of sweat.

Aira was looking for soap that she used to wear on minimarket shelves. Since a wide variety of soaps were on the bottom shelf itself, it required Aira to squat down in order to reach the neatly arranged soaps.

"Well! There goes. Buy ten, let's not go back and forth. All of you buy jajan ahhhh, tomorrow's holiday so watch a movie until night gas aja" his grunya.

Before going to the snack rack, Aira was tempted by the item that was on top of the soap shelf.

"Milk-containing Scrubs"

Aira started glancing and was interested in buying the item. When she was about to pick it up, Aira accidentally saw someone from the opposite shelf who happened to be seen in the cracks of the minimarket shelf in general. You guys must know how it looks. That person was also crouching the same as Aira's current position. That person just silently crouched down with his head lowered, not looking like he was looking for an item he wanted to buy like Aira. That person was really just squatting like deliberately equating his position with Aira.

Isn't that the person just now?, inner Aira.

Navy jackets, black pants, masks, shoes, and hats are the same as the person who Aira saw in front of the closed shop.

No, no! Don't think of that macem-macem Aira!

Aira tried to look relaxed and mediocre and ignored him because he might also be in need of equipment and coincidentally met him again here.

Aira sped up her movement going to the snack rack so that she could immediately go home and ignore the person. When Aira was already on the snack rack, the person had shifted his position from squatting to standing straight as if he also wanted to move his position to another rack looking for other items.

The person moved to the two shelves right next to the snack rack, was picking things up, making Aira even more goosebumps from feeling uncomfortable with that person.

Ahh, justin aja!, inner Aira again continue the selection of snacks.

Move to the drink fridge directly behind Aira. Just turning her body behind Aira has found a drink refrigerator that stores a lot of canned drinks, milk, yogurt, and others. Aira took one yogurt drink and two mocha-flavored milk drinks. Once that was done, of course Aira closed the refrigerator door and,

A BA!

Aira saw in the reflection of the refrigerator glass, the same person was standing right behind the snack rack as before on the soap shelf. The person got closer to the position of Aira by still standing still before he finally realized if Aira turned towards him, he hurriedly acted as if he was looking for items in front of him.

He did not follow me anyway?, inner Aira so turned towards the person and still tried to think positive.

I don't feel good.

I don't know what Aira was thinking, he took the initiative to see each shelf that the mysterious person stopped by with the aim that Aira knew that the person really intended to buy the needs of ordinary men and no intention to follow him.

Aira pretended to walk towards the cashier, stealing glances when it came to the shelf that the person was occupying. On the last shelf he occupied now there was a snack in the form of biscuits. That is a natural thing because men also definitely need snacks. Aira was a little relieved because of that.

Aira walked towards the second shelf that the person occupied. Aira saw there is a shelf where children's toys such as cars, cooking, to robots. Aira started thinking.

Why is he on a toy shelf?

No toys he chose. He also seems not busy picking toys

Aira forced still positive thoughts, until walking towards the first shelf that the person came to. From here, Aira decided, steadily,

This is not right!

How not? The shelf is a shelf for sanitary napkins which is almost impossible for a man to come to the shelf or even buy unless he has a sister or maybe his girlfriend who is coming the month. But there was no sign of him buying or even glancing at the sanitary napkins when he came across Aira. He did not even look confused about choosing which pads his brother or girlfriend needed. He just stayed, squatting down just to equalize Aira's position.

Without thinking anymore, Aira went straight to the cashier but still with relaxed movements so as not to see that she was panicking. Aira quickly gave her shopping cart to the cashier. The cashier scanned the Aira purchase items one-on-one at normal speed. But that made Aira even more agitated.

"The total is one hundred and twenty-one three hundred rupiahs"

Even when he took the money out of his wallet, Aira was too nervous and dropped some coins on the floor. Forced to calm the mind, return the fallen coin.

"This is his sister" said the cashier, giving the note and change of two hundred silver.

"Ma.makasihh" Aira immediately took the change and plastic bag from the cashier's desk.

Aira has come out of the minimarket which feels scary. Unceasingly Aira turned her head back, towards the minimarket to make sure the person was not really following her.

Once looked, safe.

Twice, still safe.

Three times, look,

DEG!

The man came out with nothing in his hands. Hand's empty. Aira's guess is getting stronger if that person is following her. Aira who could not hide her panic started to walk quickly to get away from that person.

Tap..tap...

Tap..tap...

That person also walked quickly equal to Aira's footsteps. Aira was really scared. Undeniably, he began to run. That person had also definitely come running after Aira. As powerful as energy, Aira ran fast. Instead of running to the house to protect her, Aira chose to run to another place so that she could ask for help from others who were there rather than at home who had no one. It was like opening a door and giving a chance to the person who wanted evil to Aira.

Aira continued to run further and further away from her house. That guy is still chasing Aira. Until Aira chose to go into the narrow alleys and full of twists so that the person confused chasing after him. In fact, that person was more nimble than Aira. The narrow alleys alone did not make him give up chasing after Aira.

Alright, Aira chose to get out of the alley area considering that the alley was also deserted no one could help her. Aira was about to return to the highway hoping for a crowded road back. The groceries that fell on the streets he no longer cared about he just kept running to save himself.

PRANGS! BRUK!

Inadvertently Aira crashed into the portal and made her slightly flung.

"Aaaarrrggghhhhh, ssshhh, awwww" said Aira in pain as the portal hit her head.

Ah no! That person was getting closer to Aira. Aira quickly woke up from the fall even though the head was still shrill and the view was a little blurry.

HAP!

Got it!

Aira was caught by him. That person managed to reach Aira's hand. Their equally breathless breaths panted at each other. Aira who was no longer running from him dared to raise her head in eyes with that person. A few seconds later, the man voluntarily opened his hat and mask in front of Aira. And that made Aira even more palpitating because soon Aira would know that person's face.

How surprised Aira was when that person showed his face clearly and clearly. That person, the person who followed Aira was none other than and not the person closest to him at the moment.
