Cleo Pov
I never thought about loving let alone liking...
Because I had my own love, my first lost love that went somewhere, so I never thought I would love again.
I shut the door of my heart because that way I'll only love one person for the rest of my life.
But I'm wrong to think that way, it's true people say that 'it's hard to predict where the heart will take you' or 'no one can resist the feeling of liking someone'.
It all started from that day...
- in garden.
"Oh no the bird almost fell, how is this? no one is passing by here anymore, I have to ask someone for help" Olivia said from a distance standing under a tree with a restless face.
Because his anxiety made me curious so I unconsciously approached him.
"What's wrong, you look agitated?"
"Oh, Cleo quickly climbed this tree,"
"Why should I? and for what?"
"See the bird's nest there! the bird almost fell, quickly save"he asked.
"Why me?"
"Because you're a man,"
Even though I constantly refused, he even more forced me to do it.
That's how it started, then...
at sports hours.
"I'm tired, I feel so thirsty after hours of exercise, does anyone here sell water?"muttered.
"Cleo, you want a drink"
"Oh, I happen to be very thirsty, thank you..."
I drank the water and...
"It cost five thousand"
"Puuuff uhuk... uhuk.... pay?"
"Yes, it does have to pay because it's from the OSIS room so it's sold"
I'm not surprised to have to pay, but what surprised me was that he was the first person to do that to me.
Like when I first saw her among the many girls I saw at this school only she never glanced at me, and among the schoolgirls who always sought my attention for thinking I was a star only she acted like I was normal to her.
"Cleo why did you fall silent, do you think I gave it to you. Then I'm sorry I didn't mean it that way and made you misunderstand me, let me pay,"
"No, no, this is the money"
She was the second girl to catch my attention.
From that day on, my eyes were always on her.
At first I could say I was so impressed with him,
- in library.
"Hey! did you read that many books?"my many.
"Yes, why?"
"Didn't your head explode? oh yeah, it's only natural to say you're the smartest student in this school, it looks like it's going to be hard to beat you"
Until then, I became very interested in his daily life.
at the stall near the school gate.
"What are you doing here?"
"Absen truant, yes eat noodles"
"It's a lesson hour,"
"Then, do you want to skip with me, Riyan, and Cia, relax, if you're going to skip with us you won't get scolded"
"Not scolded, you're a teacher's son, indeed,"
"Not really, I'm just a favorite child of the teachers" he said gently.
In the end I skipped with them because it was lulled in the smell of chicken noodles, this is my truant debut after 18 years of living in the world. I followed along because they guaranteed that if caught we would be punished together, but it turns out they were like that because of the empty hours...
It feels like being with him is somehow very comfortable.
Until I realized, if I had been poisoned by it, I looked at it as an opium for me.
Maybe that's why I want to...
Always by someone's side, wanting to have his smile to myself.
Then we passed each other and kept passing, maybe it was fate...
But I realized that someone already had it, I would not give up, because there was never a word to give up in my dictionary.
***
3 weeks earlier, Cleo had been very troubled with her feelings.
Night in the living room, at Cleo and Deana's house, when they were busy with their respective phones.
"Why have we been seeing each other lately, we have always met by chance, in the library, in the hallway, in the garden, wherever I have set my eyes on the edge of my eyes" cleo muttered.
"Who's sister ?"
"Olivia" muttered Cleo again.
"Sister, interested in him?"
"It's none of your business"
"Waw, just this time I saw you're interested in humans"
"What do you think your brother is? but...
Deana, do you think the same as me that Olivia looks like a mother..."
"I don't think so, why can you think like that?"
"Because of her warm smile and gentle beauty" Cleo said with a slightly flushed face.
"The reason is like a mother, if that means it means, means that the sister does like Olivia" Deana said.
"........"
"Sister's face until reddened, then brother, sister must do pdkt !"
"Dkt huh? I'll use the formula" Cleo sneered.
"I'm not sure about the idea of big brother, I think this is a lesson, but. Just try it! , I hope it's done !"deana.
'My brother is crazy with books, because it was in his room even a lot of scattered, whatever he always studied with books, especially he was never interested in women, not one bit, or rather she was single from birth' Deana thought.
Next day...
"After thinking last night, I finally came to a conclusion from my formula.Tactics captivate women" Cleo muttered while in the car as she was about to leave for school.
"So... ka... What's your formula?"ask Deana who doesn't care.
"First asked her out, the second gave her a chocolate, and the last took a stab..."
"Wait, wait, ka.. don't tell the last one to get married.."sela Deana.
"Why indeed?"ask Cleo who's driving.
"Basic singles from birth, sister, should have approached her and know her slowly, that's called pdkt" said Deana.
"As far as I am..."
Arriving at school, as Cleo walked down the hall, her path came to a halt due to a familiar voice, and she looked out the window.
'In fact why as far as the eye can see, why is there always you at the end of my sight?'
"Hahaha Maya are you hungry?"asked Olivia from outside the room who was playing with the cat.
Cleo opened the window, and as the window opened completely, Olivia looked towards the window, until they exchanged glances.
'again I met and accidentally we exchanged glances...
strangely enough, you keep getting me interested, ' Cleo thought with a small smile.
"Hello Cleo~"sapa Olivia.
'It all started from my curiosity for her, every time I met her, until it grew and developed, when it bloomed, and that was when it became the center of my world. Her beautiful face was increasingly radiant in the sun, until it dazzled my eyes.
Olivia approached Cleo who was composed in silence.
"Cleo, you didn't hear me, I greeted you" Olivia said, drawing her face closer to Cleo.
"Oh, hello too, Olivia" Cleo said a little jolted because when she realized from her daydream, Olivia was already so close to her face.
'no.....
actually, actually,
lookingfor you... Olivia's'
Then Olivia reached out her hand and said...
"Cleo, it's sunny today, do you want to enjoy it with me" Olivia said with a smile.
"But the sky is not as bright as you" murmured
Cleo grabbed the helping hand and jumped over the window, a window as tall as her stomach.
"Gosh, why did you jump over the window, there's a door over there"
"Too long if you have to go through the door, do you know that this high is nothing, I'm even used to sitting on the window of the room on the third floor of my house, it's very pleasant "
"But still, you'll get hurt later..."
"I'm fine, you'll see for yourself, and it was you who invited me to enjoy the beautiful weather today"
"So, then let's play with the cat"
"Kuci.ng, but Olivia I can't. akhhh"
"Don't be afraid, the cats are adorable and friendly"
"Argh....."
Uks
"Olivia, you said the cat was very friendly, but they attacked me, look at this they clawed my arm, thank God they didn't scratch my face." Cleo said.
"Yes, I'm sorry. because all this happened because of me.." said Olivia.
"What's just sorry?"
"Indeed why? what do you want me to do?"
"I'll accept your apology if you want to watch a movie with me" Cleo said.
"That's the easy thing, all right..."
"really? you want? "asked Cleo who still could not believe if her offer was accepted so easily.
"Yes, I want it if that's what you want"
"Well, I'll set the date we left"
"Yes,"
Geck, tok, tok.
"Who is it?"ask Olivia.
"Olivia, it's me, someone said that you went to the Uks, are you sick?"
"Oh, Riyan come in"
Riyan walked in and saw Olivia and Cleo were just the two of them in one room.
"Hello Riyan"Sapa Cleo's.
"Yes, Cleo are you sick? why are you lying in the Uks?"ask Riyan.
"I. in the claws of the cat, as a result of Olivia" Cleo said, pointing at Olivia.
"Olivia what does it mean because of you?"riyan asked, looking at Olivia with a smile.
"Haha, it's because of me. 'cause I asked her to play with the cat with me, so it's because of me" Olivia said, staring back at Riyan with a smile.
'Why? why did Olivia's gaze change when she looked at Riyan, as if she was staring at a lover, what was their relationship?'cleo thought with a gaze towards Riyan and Olivia who were looking at each other.
"Hmm, excuse me Olivia I'd like to ask you a question"
"Yes? whahuh? please go ahead!"
"You and Riyan Sanga are close?"ask Cleo.
"We were friends since childhood" Olivia replied.
"That's it, but why are you staring at your little friend with such a gentle gaze?"cleo muttered.
"What are you talking about, Cleo?"ask Olivia.
'Do you like Olivia?' riyan thought as she looked towards Cleo who was speechless by looking at Olivia.
"Ah, no, it's nothing"
"We've not only been friends since childhood, we've grown up in the same house" Riyan said, ruffling Olivia's hair.
"Ah, Riyan what are you doing"
"Randomizing your hair..."
"Haish, you're outrageous"
"I'm sorry, I'm tidying up again" said Riyan, gently tidying Olivia's hair.
'........ Ah if we had met sooner, no. Honestly I'd have wanted to see you earlier than anyone' Cleo thought.
"Olivia will be ringing soon, let's go back to class" Riyan said.
"Yes, ah but what about Cleo" Olivia glanced at Cleo.
"I'm fine, let's get the three of us to class together"
'No problem if you like Riyan, but I'll make you turn away from him and I'll make you like me' Cleo thought.
"Yes, come on three" Olivia said.
On the other side...
"Deana.."jar Klaura.
Deana who was walking down the hall to head to the classroom, stopped her steps.
"Oh, what's wrong klaura?"
"Where's cleo?"
"Silver might be in class" Deana said.
"So I've been to class and there's no Cleo"
"Then I don't know where you are either"
"Oh that's it, Deana ... But may I ask Cleo's number, you must have the number right?"ask klaura.
"I have a sister's number, but I can't give it to you, because you really don't like it when you give it to strangers"
"Haha, what do you mean, I'm not a stranger, we're friends, right?"
'Ha.. talking to him just pisses me off' Klaura thought.
"So, can I have Cleo's number"
"I'm sorry, I don't want to, but I can't do it, sorry..."
'Damn it, I'm talking well, he's like this, just look at you, I'll make you regret that I keep getting angry like this' Klaura thought.
Klaura gestures to her friends Anya and Quella, who are standing right behind Deana, to have them push Deana from behind.
"Akhh, it hurts." said Deana, apparently he was injured in his knee.
"Gosh, what are you doing, look at Deana until she falls, apologize quickly" Klaura said.
"Deana forgive us, the floor is slippery so we accidentally make you fall." Anya and Quella said simultaneously.
Crying...
Klaura crouched down,"Deana ... Next time you have to be more friendly with me, and since the bell rings sooner than I expected, I have to go to class immediately, so you can get up on your own right!"he said as he left with Anya and Quella, leaving Deana alone in the hallway.
'Klaura's words sound like 'if you make me angry, next time you'll receive a bigger impact', what's my fault, why they act that way' thought Deana who was still sitting on the floor.
"Hey, you. You're blocking my way, move aside" said Rayden, who happened to be passing by.
"Eh, ah. ma-sorry, ukh..."
'The wound is sore' Deana thought.
Rayden reached into his pocket and then crouched down, he took out the scarf cover from his pocket and covered the wound on Deana's knee, Deana stood pecking in confusion, then when Rayden stood up straight again.
"It looks like you fell. The wound on your knee is not good to see" Rayden said, then left.
"Eh, wait..."
Rayden stopped his steps.
"We're in class, right? let's go to class together, because it looks like there's a teacher coming" Rayden said, speaking without turning back.
"Yes, and thank you"
'Isn't her name Rayden.' Deana thought as she stared at Rayden's back body.
"What are you waiting for, hurry up, or later we can be alpakan" Rayden said.
"Yes"
They went to class together.
SERIATE.
