Cliches

Falling in love may be that simple. When he only met once, looking at him for a few seconds, it had caused a very strange thump in the heart of the girl named Rubi. Rubi never thought there would be a day when he would fall in love with a man named Arya Bayu.

"Well, Rubi is leaving" Rubi told his mother in a hurry.

"Breakfast first, Bi!"

"Oh, Mah, no time. Afraid late."

"Alright, but bring the sanwich for supplies!"

"Yes, Mah. Uh."

Rubies snatched a small pink box on the dining table. The girl immediately put a helmet on her head and turned on the motor towards the Independence Pioneer road.

Brak!

Rubies fell when a car passed suddenly causing traffic jams on the road that morning. On the same side, Arya Bayu was also waiting for the crowd of people in front of her to give way so that she could get to school soon, as there was a small accident happening before her.

Arya Bayu arrived ten minutes later than usual, because she was stuck in traffic for a few minutes. He parked his dirt bike under a flamboyant tree in the parking lot, put his helmet on a motorbike, then walked to class 12 Ipa 1.

"Tumben you're late, Bro?"

"So there was an accident on the pioneer road of independence, so the cave is late," replied Arya Bayu while putting her bag on the bench.

A few minutes later the class seemed silent as Ms Rahmi entered the class with a girl. Arya Bayu is seen watching the girl carefully, scanning her from head to shoe. There's a big smile there, I don't know what.

"Please pay attention, kids! This morning we have a new student, a transfer from Surabaya, his name is Rubi Anastaya," explained Bu Rahmi, "Rubi, you sit .. next to the bench Arya."

"Okay, ma'am," replied Rubi briefly.

He walked while fixing the position of his bag and placing it on the bench.

The girl with the ponytailed hair and glasses had hypnotized an Arya Bayu to keep focusing on watching her. The girl with cuts on her forehead and on her knees has indeed made the concentration of the most popular man in international school break.

After all was calm again, the Ipa lesson was immediately started, Bu Rahmi immediately wrote down a replay for her students to do that morning.

"Hey, Bayu cave, forehead equals your knees why?"

"No papa, just fell, hit by a car" replied Rubi.

"That danger, why don't you go to the school health room?"

"It's my first day, I don't want to be late for class."

"Oh ...."

"Arya, have you talked? Could you please continue the break?" said Bu Rahmi by looking at Arya Bayu sharply.

This is how Rubi and Arya Bayu met.

The time off has finally arrived. Rubi chose to sit in the corner of the canteen and ordered a large cup of sweet iced tea to accompany his sanwich.

"Hey, can the cave sit here?" arya Bayu asked Rubi.

"May," replied Rubi while fixing his glasses that had sagged up to the middle of his nose.

Awkwardness overcame Rubi's feelings, because he had never been approached by a man. In addition to being quiet, Rubi is also very closed.

"There's a Japanese club later, will you, you're one of the same group of caves?" arya asked opening the conversation.

Rubi looked at Arya's face for a moment then nodded slowly. Arya looks happy to find her new friend agreeing to join her group.

"That's a typical Aryan cliche. Either there is an intention of approaching, or there is another intention veiled?" Inner Rubi.

"See you at the language club, later, yes!"

Arya leaves Rubi in her chair. Soon a group of girls surrounded him.

She was the most popular girl in school. Her name is Luna, a classmate of Rubi in 12 IPA 1. The girl with the best grades in school and the child achieves according to Bu Rahmi.

"Look good, yeah, new kid. Stay away from Arya Bayu. If you don't want to get in trouble from us!" luna whispered softly in Rubi's ear.

Rubi just glanced at the girl before him indifferently until Luna looked back at Rubi sharply and then left Rubi alone.

[You're hard to contact, Bi.]

It's been almost two weeks that Rubi has deliberately ignored messages from a man named Luca.

He was well aware that the man missed Rubi a lot. However, as strong as a handful, he tried to melt his pedulogy.

Luca is just a friend who puts his heart on her. Their story takes place in the organization room of intra-school students since the eleventh grade.

[Bi, why are all my messages you ignoring? Does your move have anything to do with me expressing feelings for you?]

To be honest, Rubi moved schools because he was expelled for bullying his friends. Although Rubi is an accomplished child, but his arrogant attitude has made him always oppress weak children. His mother was the owner of some of the biggest supermarkets in several cities and was always busy until Rubi selqlu was alone at home. He always makes trouble at school just to be able to attract the attention of his mother.

After his move to this international school, his performance changed, not without reason Rubi did. All that he did in order to become a better Rubi in the future. He wanted to dispel Rubi's arrogant and arrogant image to make his mother proud and become more attentive towards him.

Luca is the only male friend who is closest to him, they are friends since tk and their parents have been friends since smp.

Rubi turned off his phone, he was lazy to reply to a chat from Luca. He was not knowing what to talk about, because since Luca expressed his feelings, Rubi became awkward to chat with his best friend.

The school bell rang, all the students in Rubi's class left the classroom.

"Bi, you're joining the language club this afternoon, right? We just come to the cafe where the Japanese language club kids gather, how?"

Rubi silent. From earlier he kept staring at the phone screen, he was waiting for a phone from Gina. Face's fidgeting. She wants to get information about her twin sister, Laluna. Because of Gina's investigation, her twin sister went to this school. Gina is a hacker, so it will definitely be easy for her to get the information Rubi needs.

"Bi, you're coming, right?"

"Eh, yes," Rubi replied with a shocked expression.

They walked to the parking lot and drove their vehicles to a small cafe on the outskirts of town.

"We have arrived, Bi," said Arya Bayu after stopping her motorcycle in the courtyard of a mini cafe in the suburbs. The design of the cafe is warm dominated by brown color. It turns out Arya Bayu really fell in love with the girl named Rubi since the first time he saw her earlier. Looking at it the first time, from close range made it as wide as it turned out to be.

Many seconds are missed. Arya Bayu still let time melt adorning her togetherness with the girl he just knew.

"Have you ever been to a Japanese club before?" ask Arya Bayu.

Rubi shook his head slowly. This is his first time at a language club.

Suddenly Rumi's steps stopped, when he saw the girl he had been looking for all this time. Anastaya Laluna. The girl was in a grey hood with a very charming smile.

"Why are you–"

"Why are you crying, Bi?" arya asked as she patted the girl's shoulder to bring her back to the real world.

"Eh, it's nothing."

"Yes already. It's our member, her name is Laluna," explained Arya pointing towards the girl who was writing the book in front of them.

"It turns out to be true, he's Laluna," Inner Rubi.

"You ... recognize me?" ask Laluna when she feels constantly being noticed.

"Ah, how could he possibly recognize you, Lun? He's our new member" Arya replied.

"How could I not recognize you, Lun? It has been almost three months Rubi continues to search for his whereabouts. Figuring out everything about her, as well as clues about who Luna is, where she lives, and how she lives, "inner Rumi.

He shook his head, then said, "I'm just amazed to see your face. So shady. Nice to meet you, Luna."
