The Turmoil of Youth

Chapter 22

Tristan no longer brought up the matter at the library yesterday. Maybe he thought their conversation was over. But it was a good thing for Melly, so she didn't have to hide under the table anymore to cover up her embarrassment.

"Sister Fabian same brother O'Niel fight why?" ask Melly to start a new topic.

Tristan stopped chewing. He didn't think Melly would ask about it.

"Fabian had a cheat, but he didn't know O'Niel" Tristan replied. "O'Niel wasn't happy, so he confronted Fabian and they ended up fighting."

Melly clucking. "Kirain why," he murmured.

"Why do you nanyain them?" ask Tristan.

"Now they're my friends too" replied Melly. "Gue always mesenin food for them to rest, nyampe-nyampe I memorized if Kak Fabian was like siomay continue if Kak O'Niel like batagor. They both never change menus."

"Gue doesn't know if you take them as friends" Tristan said.

Melly turned to the Tristan gang members who were eating. "Some of them are pretty fun" he said.

"They were fun" Tristan agreed.

Melly is back in focus on Tristan. "How long have you been with them?" tanyakanya.

"From tenth grade" replied Tristan. "We're all trained together to be members of this school's gang."

"Gue doesn't really understand the system" Melly said. "So you can all just be a gang member if you're in the twelfth grade?"

"There were also those from the eleventh grade," Tristan said. "I'm the same as Robbin. But at that time my position was the same Robbin is still as a member. As we go up to the twelfth grade, newly appointed as chairman and vice chairman for the previous replacements. They graduated."

The system is as percis as in Ganesha High School. Ghevin and Miko have also joined the gang since they were in the eleventh grade. They were also newly appointed as the chairman and vice-chairman in the twelfth grade.

"What makes you interested in joining a kayak gang like this?"

"Because I can protect this school," replied Tristan, "and I also like having power."

Melly could see that. He doesn't know if Tristan is really protecting this school, but Tristan certainly likes to show off power.

"Did they bother you again?" ask Tristan suddenly.

Melly didn't catch who Tristan was talking about at first, but then she found out. "You mean the same Kribo Hair as the Black?"

Tristan was dumbfounded, then laughed, really laughing loosely. Just this time Melly saw him laughing like that. Melly's turn that was made was stunned by her.

"I don't know their names" Melly said. "So I call them that."

"Lo Belom answered my question" Tristan repeated.

"Oh, they never bothered me again" replied Melly. Maybe they're scared the same time you."

"Yes, obviously" said Tristan bragging.

Melly grunting. "Does your hobby scare people?"

"Yup" said Tristan. "That's good for me, because then they'll respect me."

Tristan is a respect freak, but unfortunately he's using the wrong way to make people respect him.

Seeing Tristan's good mood, Melly thought it might be a good time to ask Tristan when his sentence would end. Tristan will probably be kind to him.

"mmm... Brother Tristan," started Melly. "When do you want to make me a messenger?"

Tristan did not answer. "Not yet to know" he said at last. "Why? Don't feel at home with me?"

"It's not about not being at home" Melly said. "But I can't keep going like this. Could be grim dong my High School days."

"Once I pass, you'll be free too."

"It's still a long time, that's a long time" Melly said.

"You want to be free from punishment, of course there will be consequences" Tristan said.

"What consequences?" ask Melly timidly.

"That's what I still think" Tristan replied. "I'll tell you a piece if I've got the answer."

Melly suspects that Tristan will not actually release her. Maybe he won't make Melly his errand boy again, but instead, there must be something ominous that is being planned by him.
