The Sweetest Dreams

'Unsociable' Is Not a Sin

While Bryan and Selena go about their days well, the girl named Carissa, Bryan's friend, lives her days with anger, envy, and spite.

He even made Selena an enemy and a target for her to take down.

"Hey, scavenger's son. Pick it up, my old tissue."

"L-yes.."

Because annoyance and jealousy is not playing, Carissa instead vent all her feelings of dissatisfaction to the people around her. One of them was a girl named Lenna. She is a quiet and nerdy classmate of Carissa.

Ever since learning that Bryan's girlfriend is an OSIS chairman, in Carissa's mind the girl named Selena must be nerdy and unattractive. Later, he directly likens Selena to Lenna, the seemingly weak and easily bullied girl.

"Huh, your names are similar! It's worth it, you two are so annoying and make me hate!" suddenly rage.

The girl named Lenna was actually not a very weak person as Carissa alleged. He secretly harbors hatred and wants revenge on Carissa someday.

After being overwhelmed by Carissa and a group of other schoolgirls, Lenna bursts into the restroom at lunchtime..

"AHHHH!!! I hate! I hate that girl!! Just look, I'll get back at you, Carissa!" he shouted inside the restroom alone, as if no one else could hear him.

Lenna thought she was in the bathroom alone, but she was wrong.

Selena was in the room next to the bathroom used by Lenna.

"UAHHH!!!!" lenna's exclaiming constantly.

Then, he came out of the restroom and walked with heavy steps towards the school cafeteria.

After that, Selena who heard all of Lenna's words just now, fell silent and was astonished. He only stared at Lenna after the girl walked out of the restroom ahead of him.

Selena came out of the restroom of the woman near the canteen. Then, he walked towards the cafeteria table.

"Selena!"

There, Bryan and other friends had been waiting for him to have lunch at the same cafeteria table. However, it does not include Carissa.

Selena sat next to Bryan, then they guarded the table and let the other kids order food first.

"Selena, what's wrong with you?" bryan asked suddenly, because he could immediately realize the changes in Selena.

"Ah. that.. It's nothing, really." replied Selena quietly.

"There must be something. Tell me later, ok?" Bryan.

Selena was unable to dodge and ended up nodding her head.

Then, after the other children returned, Bryan told Selena to wait at the dinner table while he bought food for the two of them.

"Wuihh. You guys are really friendly, huh. Like a prince and a princess. In school we have teenage fairy tales." - Samantha, Bryan's friend.

"Ah. not so, Sammy." replied Selena.

Then Samantha, or Sammy, said; "What is not so? You are already the most famous couple and make many students jealous in this school!"

Hearing that, Selena was a little surprised and in disbelief. Later, he replied to Sammy; "Me and Bryan are not like that. We were just dating with no purpose to become famous or make other people jealous. We have no purpose."

"Of course we have a purpose."

Suddenly, Bryan refuted the two girls' conversation.

"Bryan.. What do you mean?" ask Selena clumsy.

"You're how the hell you are, Selena. Of course we have a purpose in our relationship, which is so we can continue it and deepen our relationship, right?" bryan replied bluntly, ignoring the response of his friends.

Apparently, compared to Selena, her boyfriend had thought of everything that was more profound and far from the girl's mind. Selena soon learns that Bryan is much more mature than she is.

During this time, Selena always felt that there would be no child her age who was like and thoughtful with her. Now, he did not expect that there was a man his age who was even more mature and sometimes much more understanding of Selena than the girl herself.

"Bri.. Bryan's.." Selena wanted to answer, but she was still clumsy and timid in public.

"Haha, you're right. Josh, you're my best friend!" bryan said while shaking Joshua's hand in slang and friendly.

Then, suddenly..

BRAKKS

Hearing the loud noise in the canteen area, they immediately turned their heads.

Instantly, they were shocked and their attention was all fixed on one thing in common. In fact, all the students in the cafeteria looked in that direction.

After being looked at carefully by Selena, her eyes immediately widened and she was immediately aghast.

Selena immediately stood up and walked over to a girl who had fallen on the floor with food trays spilled everywhere, even wetting the uniform worn by the girl.

Selena helped him up, then looked at the girl and said; "You okay? What's yourname?"

"I.. I'm Lenna.."

"Lenna, what class are you in? Brother will take you to the UKS and tell your homeroom."

"I'm from class 1-1.. Thank you, brother."

Selena took the girl to the UKS and asked her aunt UKS if their school provided a spare uniform.

Fortunately, UKS aunt said that she did have some spare uniforms, then she lent one of them to Lenna.

"Thank you, sister" said the boy once more to Selena with her head bowed.

"Ah, this is nothing. You don't have to be shy. When something happens, you should get up and ignore your surroundings, Lenna. In this school, there are a lot of students who don't know you, but you can show them slowly, who you really are."

"Who am I really?" repeat the girl by looking at Selena.

"really. I don't think you're a weak kid. You just need to voice your own heart."

"However, sis.." said Lenna quietly.

"However?"

"I was always considered lacking and stupid by those around me.. How could they listen to me?" lenna said with teary eyes.

"Lenna, you know? Brother used to be bullied like you."

Hearing Selena's words, Lenna was startled and immediately asked; "Really, sis?"

"really. Long ago when sister was still Junior High, there were three girls who had no end to bully sister. They do that every day. However, one day, brother jerked them in order for them to hear and know what the heart of brother was."

Lenna listened to Selena's words carefully, then waited for Selena's next words.

"The brother said to them, looking straight at them, that their deeds were despicable and vile. That no human being deserves to be treated as such, whether in school or in society. The brother also said that they would know and regret their actions one day, but it would be too late if they did not stop all their actions at that time. He never hated them, but he pitied them. However, they still call brother as an unsociable freak. However, seeing the seriousness of the actions you give, they eventually get bored and stop bothering you."

Lenna who heard Selena's story was amazed. In his eyes was like the light of hope and life. Then he said to Selena; "Thank you, sister. Thank ye. As an unsociable person, it doesn't mean I'll let others bully me." Tears flowed and drenched the girl's cheeks.

Selena smiled warmly and said to Lenna; "True, don't you let that happen to you again. You are your life regulator. Being unsociable is not a sin, but a blessing. If we have never experienced all of these things, how will we learn to grow and become stronger, right?"

"Yes." cried Lenna with a nod of her head.

Lenna also told Selena at length about the events that happened to her. He even tells Selena that Carissa is the one who bullies him.

Selena let Lenna tell him all the struggles and bitterness that the girl had felt.

While they were talking inside the UKS room, secretly and unknown to them, Bryan was there and had listened to the whole conversation of the two girls who had just gotten to know each other.

Bryan's feelings for Selena grew deeper. He was increasingly convinced of the girl's personality, and at this time he knew who was of a bad character and dared to bully others. The expression on Bryan's face was instantly mysterious and not easy to guess.

However, not only Bryan, the girl named Carissa turned out to follow them and now her body shook. Carissa's face was red and her heart was very hot. Instantly, he died of lice when Bryan turned to him with a cold look, then he ran away from the place.
