You are my eyes

First Day of School

A year has passed.

Elaine this year will be thirteen. He will begin entering the First High School (seventh grade).

“El, where are you at school anyway? You never told me.” Elaine grumbles one afternoon, when Ellio comes to visit Elaine at her house.

Ellio smiled. “Why did you want to mess around with my school?” Ask.

“Not, soon I will enter Junior High, it seems good if we can go to the same school. Don't we have different classes, you're my upperclassman, but we can be together continue right?” Elaine answered while tilting her head, putting on her cute face.

Ellio laughed, then he pinched Elaine's cheek. “Why, you want to be together I keep ya?” Goda.

“Ow, sick! Ellio!” Whine Elaine while holding her cheek.

Ellio laughed again. “I go to school for boys, do you want to wear shorts to my school?” Ask again.

Elaine forms the letter O with her mouth, she just found out that Ellio is in a special school for boys.

“Yes already then, I ask Papa and Mama to register me to a school close to home only. Later let me not long on the road.” Elaine said again.

“Yes, later I'll just mess to your school, huh? We will meet occasionally at your school. Studying hard, don't even find a girlfriend!” Said Ellio poking the tip of Elaine's nose.

Elaine laughed as she rubbed her nose. “Biarin! I'll find a lot of girlfriends!” His shouting.

They both laughed.

Elaine ended up attending a school near her home. A favorite school that most of its students are upper middle class. Every day Elaine was picked up by Mama Angel in her car.

On the first day of school, Elaine felt awkward. No one knew him at the school. New friends, new teachers and new surroundings.

Elaine began to get acquainted with her classmates, at least who sat around her stool. There was Michelle the nerd sitting next to her and Oliver the musician sitting across from her. As a newcomer student, Elaine got a seat in front, a chair that only children who want to seriously study. Favorite bench located behind, usually dominated by slang and popular children.

Seeing Elaine's sweet face, a popular student invites Elaine to move seats and join her in the back row. Elaine refused, because she was afraid to see the child's violent character. Oliver got a few snaps from the boy. Leo, the official's son, snorted when Elaine refused his invitation.

Leo's efforts did not stop just like that even though Elaine refused.

“Pak, I want to sit down with Elaine, Sir!” Leo exclaimed to Mr. Irwan, their homeroom teacher, who was arranging the distribution of the seats of his students. All the students laughed except for Elaine, Michelle and Oliver. Elaine's face paled, Mr. Irwan smiled at Leo's request.

“Elaine?” Asked Mr. Irwan, he wanted to hear Elaine's willingness. Amidst the frenzied voices of other students laughing and mocking Leo and Elaine.

Elaine shook her head. He was so scared Mr. Irwan moved his seat. Elaine squeezed Michelle's hand while continuing to shake her head.

“Hmm, okay. In that case, Leo,” said Mr. Irwan while looking at Leo, “If you want to sit near Elaine, you just sit in front. You can change seats with Oliver!” Plus, it makes Elaine even more pale.

“Ah, so be it Sir!” Leo was upset. He did not want to sacrifice sitting in the place where the teacher was paying attention to get close to Elaine. The students' laughter grew louder, they laughed at Leo's first failed attempt at approaching Elaine.

Leo did not laugh like his other friends, he looked hard at Elaine. His head began to formulate several plans to approach the girl.

The same day, school was out.

“Hai, Beautiful.”

Elaine turned her head, her heart racing. Leo looked smilingly at him.

“Balum picked up? Want to be with me ga, my car there.” He said, pointing to a point where parked a luxury sedan.

Elaine shook her head, she tried to calm her heart. “Thank you, send me another invitation come.”

“Hm, then I accompany until your invitation comes huh?” Said Leo leaning against the wall of the stop where Elaine was waiting.

“No need, you just go home first.” Elaine said again, she squeezed her own hand. Elaine felt insecure that Leo was nearby.

“Why, you kicked me out?” Leo's smile again as he approached Elaine.

Elaine moved backwards, her heart pounding again. He glanced around, somewhat calm as there were still quite a few people at the stop, even though those people were impressed not caring about Elaine and Leo. But he was worried that Leo was getting closer, eroding the distance between them.

“Why don't you want to be close to me?” Say Leo again. Now he has managed to corner Elaine, then stick out his hand to touch Elaine's cheek. “You're afraid of me?” Connect again.

Elaine was already about to scream to attract the attention of the people around her.

“Elaine!” A voice sounded. Elaine and Leo turned their heads, as Ellio stood at the stop as well, wearing his school uniform while carrying his bag around his shoulder. It seems that Ellio has just returned from school.

“Ellio!” Elaine was grateful and very relieved to see Ellio. Unknowingly he moves forward and hits Leo's shoulder until Leo is lined to the side, opening Elaine's access to Ellio. Elaine immediately grabbed Ellio's hand.

Leo looked at Ellio from his head to his feet. He was still considering whether to advance to take Elaine or not. Leo was a bit hesitant because he saw Ellio's body which was taller than his, obviously Ellio was a few years older than him.

A few of Elaine's classmates who were also at the stop, stared at them. The presence of Ellio who was another school student, caught their attention.

“Come, we go home.” Ellio said coldly, glancing at Leo. Then he clasped Elaine's hand and they walked away from the stop, towards Elaine's house.

“Mama you haven't picked up?” Ellio asked Elaine, after a while they walked.

Elaine shook her head.

“Send a message to your mama, just tell her I'm taking you home.” Ellio said again.

Elaine grabbed her phone. It turns out there was a message from mom that you couldn't pick up Elaine and tell Elaine to come home in a taxi. Elaine breathed out, regretting that she had not read Mama's message. If he reads it, maybe he will go home alone and there was no incident with Leo earlier.

Ellio smiled looking at Elaine, he ruffled Elaine's hair gently.

“Don't worry, I'll accompany you home. Come!” He said, holding Elaine's hand.

Elaine smiled and walked slowly beside Ellio. Sometimes he pulls Ellio's hand so that the road is not too fast.

“Why, are you tired? Are you hot?” Ellio asked as he watched the sweaty hairs on Elaine's forehead.

Elaine shakes. “Don't hurry, we take a leisurely walk.” Elaine said again with a smile. It was only ten o'clock in the morning, the school broke up early because it was only the first day of school. He did not want to quickly get home and locked up again alone. He wanted to stay with Ellio longer.

Elaine walked over while waving Ellio's hand. Her lips were smiling enjoying the moment, with a cool morning air and Ellio beside her, Elaine's heart was delighted.
