VACILANTE: IMPERFECT

11 - Like a Small Gang

Alvin, Nasha, Calista, and Fiona now sit in a circle on one of the canteen benches. All the cafeteria merchants had already gone home and closed the stalls. Only left them with a cold drink bottle on the table. Their gazes were still unfocused, thinking of something appropriate to fill in a paper that was now neatly stored on the table.

Alvin notices Nasha is right in front of him. Nasha notices Fiona who is busy approaching Calista. Calista now supported his head, occasionally massaging his temple.

"One column left but it's really hard!" calista said annoyed as he put his pen on the table.

Nasha sighed, "It's hard because it's our future. If it wasn't for Alvin, I wouldn't have dizzy with you guys."

Alvin lifted his head that was originally bowed in frustration, "Kok me, Sha? I don't think it's your time either."

"Because I want you to be the next chairman of OSIS."

Fiona rolled her eyes lazily. Instead of looking for a solution, Alvin and Nasha even fuss about something that actually does not need to be fussed.

"If you take care of family matters, don't stay here, yes, please!" fiona's Sarcas.

Suddenly someone pulled up one of the empty seats near Alvin. The gazes of their eyes all immediately turned to someone who was now directly sitting near Alvin. Fiona looked at each other and frowned at the same time. Nasha rounded her eyes looking at Alvin.

"Lo invited him, Vin?" nasha asked without a sound and answered the quick ring.

"Sorry, but I can join, right?" asked Liana started, she then turned to Angel who had not got a seat, "Lo sat on the deck of Nasha tuh, Ngel."

"But no one invited you here, Li," said Fiona trying to hold her back.

Liana nodded, "Gue knows. But I am also from your generation. I also want to continue in the department. Shouldn't we be fighting together?"

Alvin nodded in agreement, "Yes, really! Fi, if you don't like Liana here, you'll go, gih!" alvin said while chuckling.

Nasha rounded her eyes, "If Fiona goes, I go too, yeah, Vin!" he said while rising from his seat.

Alvin waved both hands and shook his head quickly, "Gue is joking, Sha," he said, forcing Nasha to sit back.

Nasha also said. He chose silence while staring at Alvin sharply. The one stared at just an innocent smile, then turned his face to look at Liana. It was better to look at Liana, rather than get a sharp look from Nasha.

"So where have you been discussing?" ask Liana to begin.

"We're confused in the department. We all want to be in office, but we can't share it" Calista replied.

Liana nodded in understanding. He then opened his OSIS notebook, making everyone there look at him in confusion.

"Who wants to be chairman, who?" he asked and Alvin immediately raised one of his hands, "Is there a partner?" Alvin nodded in response.

"No 'pa-pa. The important thing is that we already have someone holding the position of chairman. Who wants to be a secretary, who?" ask again.

Calista raised one of his hands. He then turned to Nasha who was still silent because Nasha was confused about her own abilities. Will he be able to take on the responsibility of secretary of the OSIS?

"Kok, you don't raise your hand, Sha?" ask Alvin to be confused. He was afraid that Nasha would change her mind.

Liana frowned, "Lo also wants to be a secretary, Sha?"

"Yes, she wants to be a secretary" Fiona replied.

Nasha smiled doubtfully. He's really scared. He has not prepared himself to take on such a huge responsibility. After all, if he wants to be the secretary of OSIS, he has to deal with Liana and Calista who clearly already have the ability in that field.

"Sha!" reprimanding Alvin when he saw Nasha instead smiled while daydreaming.

Nasha turned her head, then nodded slowly in response, "Yes, I want to be a secretary."

Liana nodded her head in understanding, "That means she wants to be the secretary of three people, huh?" he said as he stared at his own writing, "Whose treasurer would you like to be?"

Fiona and Angel raised both hands together. Fiona who feels Angel is a good person feels that she is lucky to be able to compete healthily with Angel. However, he expected more he could work with Angel in the next stewardship.

"Now the problem is with the secretary. If we take a bite, one of us will fall."

Hearing that, Nasha looked at Alvin. Nasha didn't want to die. He also wanted to accompany Alvin to become a good chairman. He also wanted to grant at least one wish to his friend.

"Lo can't be killed, Sha," Alvin said without a sound. Alvin's words successfully made the burden on Nasha's shoulders increase. Besides he had to fight Liana and Calista, he also had to fight against her who could not do anything.

"Gue is not 'pa-pa, really, if you have to retreat," said Calista weakly.

They are silent to each other now. Think of the best solution they can find. Their hands now both support their heads that feel heavy because of a lot of thoughts. They also began to limp because it was very late afternoon, but they did not go home. Plus, no canteen stalls were open, making them resist hunger while thinking.

"Gue wants to ask," said Angel broke the silence, "OSIS managers can run for MPK, right?"

Alvin and all his friends are looking at each other. It seemed, what they were thinking now was the same.

"So, who wants to run for MPK?" ask Liana.

Nasha shook her head quickly, "Don't me. The Secretary of OSIS is already high altitude, let alone the secretary of MPK."

Calista raised her hand, "Gue. Let me just go to MPK."

Fiona and Nasha look at each other, "Lo serious?" fiona asked and answered a steady nod from Calista.

"If you, Sha," called Liana to make Nasha look at her, "Lo wants to be general secretary, right?"

"Aren't you going to be general secretary, Li?"

Liana shook her head, "Lately I think that I'd rather talk in front of the students than be in front of the laptop taking care of the papers."

Fiona frowned, "Not all secretaries are the same, huh? Taking care of the papers?"

Liana shook her head, "Gue is still cool first, when we first entered the OSIS selection. Said the previous secretary, the secretary at our school is different. The general secretary will focus more on correspondence, accompanying the chairman, and other secretarial tasks. If the deputy secretary, even though he helps the general secretary, he has the advantage of being flexible. That is, during major events, he does not have to hold a position as a secretary, but can be the chairman of the event division or others."

They all nodded in understanding at Liana's explanation, "And, I really want to be the MC of the MOS show later."

"Why don't you run for vice-chairman with Alvin?" nasha did not understand.

Alvin nodded in agreement, "My business would be easier if you were his deputy, Li."

Liana shook her head, "Gue has also had that thought, but since yesterday's incident, I don't want to have such a high position. Afraid, if I still have a grudge and vent in our stewardship."

They all nodded in understanding. Liana re-wrote the decision that had just been taken. He and Nasha will be the secretary of the OSIS, and Calista will be the secretary of the MPK.

"You all know when we're LDK?" liana asked suddenly. They all shook fast.

"If I thought they wouldn't tell me the time from far away. They may want to see if we are always ready or not. Well, that way.." he said hanging while opening the old sheets in his OSIS book, "What if we prepare this from now on? We must gather often so that we can be familiar and compact. That way, they see that we can work together. And, finally they chose us to be their successors, huh."

They agree. Actually they were confused, Liana had such ambitions whether to get closer to them, or she wanted to make them a stepping stone. Even so, they were convinced that Liana had good intentions behind it all.

"Because it's late afternoon, how about we go home now?" tawar Alvin's.

"AGREE!" answer them compactly.

They rushed to tidy up all his belongings on the table. Alvin also seemed to be in a hurry. He still remembers when he had to finish mading until late at night, said Nasha at that time, there was a mysterious story at the school. And, school at night was really scary, making him no longer want to be at school until night.

After tidying up her belongings, Nasha rushed over first to leave her friends and immediately opened her phone. Alvin who saw that immediately ran up to Nasha.

"You're coming home together, aren't you?" ask Alvin.

Nasha smiled as she displayed her neat rows of teeth, "Gue is the same Galih, Vin."

Hearing that, Galih only smiled faintly. He forgot that now Nasha could not be invited just like that. He also could not pick up and take Nasha as he used to. He should know the limits.

"Oh, sorry."

Nasha shook her head quickly, "No 'pa-pa, don't apologize that way."

They arrived at the parking lot. Alvin accidentally accompanies Nasha waiting for Galih to come pick her up. He was afraid, if Galih was not serious to Nasha to make Nasha wait a long time, but eventually did not get Nasha. If so, won't Nasha finally go home alone in the near future tonight?

Alvin's thinking was wrong. Galih seems to really like Nasha. The proof, there are not five minutes they wait, Galih has come with his black ninja motor. And, just before Galih got close to them, Alvin chose to go first. He is afraid that Galih misunderstands again about his relationship with Nasha.

"Gue really has to let go, huh, Sha?"
