Singing Contest

After the conversation with Natasha earlier, somehow Kafka's mixed feelings now became calmer.

Kafka is currently in his class with his friends and teachers. But the atmosphere in the class was very unpleasant. Because the students who will represent their class the singing competition are not present today.

Miss Lista was not angry with her students, the woman was just pacing around in front of the class thinking who could roughly replace the students who were supposed to represent their class singing competition.

All the students and students in the class looked down confused, even though they entered art High School, but they were not too able to sing alone. Moreover, suddenly like this, the risk of wrong tone, the tempo is too fast or slow getting bigger. From all of them, no one dared to present themselves.

While Kafka, the guy looked at his teacher who was pacing around in confusion. His gaze turned to his friends who also lowered their heads.

"Bu Lista." call Kafka.

"Yes?" his homeroom class quickly.

"I will represent our class in the singing competition" Kafka said confidently.

At that time the entire class was immediately relieved. Although Kafka was a little hesitant to show his talent again because of his singing talent that made him quarrel with Geo, but he could not stand by the condition of his class like this.

"It's not Lo..." Azam did not continue his sentence after seeing Kafka shake his head lightly with a smile.

After that Kafka immediately went to the changing room to change the clothes that Bu Lista had provided for the singing competition.

"Han." call Azam.

"Hm"

"Don't Kafka not really like singing?" ask Azam.

"Where do I know." replied Yohan briefly. The guy looks cute and doesn't care. In fact, he was a bit worried when he heard the decision of Kafka who was willing to replace his friend representing their class singing competition.

But, Yohan was not too surprised by the nature of Kafka like this. During a year together almost every day, Yohan was able to get to know the qualities of Kafka. Kafka will always make people around him happy, even though he himself is afraid to be happy.

Yes, Yohan knows with Kafka's greatest fear. It wasn't Kafka who told him. That was the thing he concluded himself after hearing several times Kafka said he did not want to be happy, for fear that sadness would come after.

After changing clothes, they went straight to the hall because the XI MIPA 2 class certainly got second place among the 11th class. And now the MIPA 1 XI class is performing, meaning after this it is their class turn to perform.

Proks. Proks. Proks. The sound of applause rumbled as the student representing the XI class of MIPA 2 finished performing the song. Now it was Kafka's turn to take the stage.

"Njay, it's Kafka!" yora shouted as she looked at Kafka who was already standing on the stage.

"Switt switt! KAFKAA!!"

All his friends immediately shouted cheering Kafka. The song starts playing.

"Between my monotonous world. There's a small crack. You are the bright light that shines on me. Really colored." Kafka started singing the song.

"My heartbeats are getting higher (Yes). Higher and higher. Never, never stop. If I pay attention and listen more carefully. Every day, every day I just call you."

Approaching the ref section, all of them immediately stood up from their seats and followed the lyrics of the song sung by Kafka.

"We come at one (we come at one). Gather here in the brightest moments. (Picturing stars in the highest places). A small circle under our feet. (I'm next to you). The world is bigger than the universe. Move on to each other forever"

And arriving at the ref, almost all students and students sing together. Making the atmosphere in the hall become super excited. It is almost like a concert venue.

"Cause we came at (one). We come at (one). We come at (ooh). We come at (one). We come at (one). We come at (ooh)."

"ONE! THE ONE! THE ONE! ONE!" when Kafka mentioned the word We come at, then the students who watched said by mentioning the word 'one' simultaneously.

"Crazy Kafka, cuyy power!!" shouted Hazel who was still defeated by the voices of other students.

"Anjay Baddas!" exciting Arzel.

"Gue confess, I swear." Nathan said.

All his friends made gawking with Kafka's appearance. Well, Nathan is the calmest, Arzel, Azam, Yora, Hazel, even Yohan who is usually indifferent to the appearance of Kafka. Because Kafka not only sings, the guy sings while dancing, amazingly his voice is still stable.

After Kafka took the stage, the sound of shouting and applause echoed in the hall room even louder than the applause of the previous participant.

"Crush Lo tuh." said one of the girls while nudging his best friend's arm.

"He's not my crush." replied a girl who was none other than Natasha.

"Heleh, ngeles." said his best friend.

"Eh seriously yes, my crush it means the person I'm appraising. Well I don't have a crush on him anymore, but I like and love." replied Natasha.

Helen, the girl who was Natasha's best friend sighed. "This is Nat, Lo likes him. Lo love him a lot of things, but he doesn't like Lo. He even told me to stop liking him. I don't think the girl deserves to chase it all the way." said Helen.

Natasha was silent thinking about her best friend's words. There is a truth to what Helen said. Even his own father had told him that.

"Certainly? how am I supposed to do?" ask Natasha.

"Em, I don't think you need to give things like that to him anymore. If Lo really likes him, just approach him naturally. As a friend, not someone who likes her." replied Helen.

"Keep the end of friendzone like you." said Natasha.

"Yes.how ya. it's a risk anjr.." replied Helen with a depressed smile.

"OK-okay, I get it. So the point is I don't act like it. Just acting like a friend, right?" tanya Natasha who was later influenced by Helen.
