"Woy, I'm going to class first, yeah!" sahut Farel while handing over the orange-colored ball he picked up.
"Well? You haven't entered the ring yet! Shame on you, did you lose to us?" ledek his friend who wore black which was immediately greeted with laughter.
Farel only smiled as he punched the two dueling friends softly.
"Gue has some business. I'll be back again!" Farel immediately took the hand of his friend who was wearing black to hold an orange ball in his hand.
"Well? What business again? So busy, you! No, I haven't done PR!" seloroh the guy in a sports uniform who was immediately greeted with laughter. Farel simply replied to the words of his two friends with a smile while running away from the field.
Farel immediately ran to class, but not far away he found a box containing cookies scattered in the corridor. Farel sighed, then went back to speeding up his pace.
Farel's steps slowed down when he heard the sobbing of a girl in his class. Slowly he peeked through the window and saw Thalia who was sitting while sobbing. The glasses guy bit his lower lip as he stared at Thalia.
"Thailand ...." Once again Farel's chest felt tight.
The hardest thing about staying away from Thalia was to refrain from coming at her when the clear hairs began to wet her cheeks. Farel shakes.
"Maybe Thalia never bullied me ... But as time went on, her attitude changed," Farel muttered then twisted his body and sat down while leaning against the classroom wall.
"Why is it that when Thalia started to change, I couldn't get her?" farel stared at the sky.
...****************...
Days change days, months change months, now is the time for ninth graders to try out as preparation for the National Examination. The classroom try out is arranged alphabetically so that Thalia is not in class with her three best friends. That, he used as an opportunity to find the whereabouts of Farel. Somehow he wanted to see the glasses guy's serious face as his encouragement on the first day of try out, but Thalia didn't see his nose at all? Could Farel be late?
Thalia did not want to take a headache, after trying out, they will continue to learn as usual. Even though Thalia could not openly look at him, she could at least see the figure of the man. For now let it be like this.
Unfortunately until the third day, Farel did not show the trunk of his nose at all. No one knows where the glasses guy went.
"Thalia, is your food being stared at? Was try out difficult?" reprimand Vannessa who has since noticed his best friend is moody. But Thalia just shook her head while rummaging through her spaghetti.
"Perhaps only IPA. What's hard, anyway?" exciting Renata.
"Your pinter skirt! You know tang-ting-tung too, right?" ledek Marina's.
"Well, you don't know me, haha!" renata's laughter immediately followed the laughter of Vannessa and Marina, but not for Thalia who was even moody.
"Oh, yes! Don't forget, yes, today we studied together at Kak Aldo's apartment. English tomorrow, right?" Vannessa.
"Oh, yes, she said Randy wanted to help teach us, huh? For who, huh?" exclaiming Renata who immediately glanced towards Marina. But Marina just turned her face away.
"What, anyway?" tymphal Marina's.
"Waw, I guess, we'll have someone sell out again, nih!" vannessa Goda.
"Ih, diem, yes you guys!" embarrassed Marina who was even teased by her two best friends. Suddenly Thalia stood up.
"I went back to class. I'm full," said Thalia lethargic who immediately stopped the jokes of her three best friends.
"Whoof? You haven't eaten a single bribe, Thal!" vannessa exclaimed, but Thalia kept walking away from her three best friends.
On returning to class, Thalia looked at Farel's bench in the back, which had been empty for three days. What happened to Farel? Why hasn't he been in for three days? Was he beaten again? Or is he sick? Or did something happen to her mother?
Thalia shook her head tightly until her attention shifted to Sheilla who had just entered the classroom.
"Sheila!" thalia exclaimed which surprised the mature brown-skinned girl. Since when did Thalia want to greet him first, by saying his name again?!
"Uhm, huh? What's up?" ask Sheilla. Thalia approached him immediately.
"You ... Do you know where Farel is going? Why didn't he come in?" search Thalia.
But Sheilla raised both shoulders.
"I'm sorry, I don't know" Sheilla replied, instantly making Thalia's face even more moody.
"Why? Why don't you know? You, you can call him! You can SMS, LINE, WA, FB, or anything, cake! Why don't you know?" cecar Thalia's.
Sheilla's forehead frowned.
"I've connected him, Thalia. But Farel didn't even read my message at all. My phone didn't pick up either. Uhm ...." Sheilla muttered.
"Maybe he needs some alone time" Sheilla said.
"Need time alone? Keep going, you shut up? You're not going to his house? You don't nengokin him? What kind of temen are you, anyway? If he continues alpha, the existing scholarship will be revoked and dropped out!" press Thalia with glaring eyes.
But Sheilla just stared at this girl who was pecking before her casually.
"She's not home either" Sheilla replied, which made Thalia freeze.
"What's? Not home?" reset Thalia.
Sheilla nodded.
"I went to his house two days ago and the neighbor said, Farel and his mother have left from Sunday, in a hurry, without any message. Just so much info I can give you. If you don't believe it, please go to Farel at his house," Sheilla concluded, directly going through Thalia who is now stunned.
Farel wasn't at his house and he didn't go to school for three days without any news? Has Farel disappeared? But why did he disappear? What reason? Thalia could only squeeze her skirt. Suddenly, his heart was pounding. He really has to make sure!

"The number you are calling is inactive or within range. Please try a few more moments." The phone connection was instantly turned off by Marina while staring at her two best friends.
"Even the phone wasn't picked up. About, Thalia, where are you going, huh?" confused Vannessa.
"Nessy, when will you start learning? Still waiting for Thalia?" ask Aldo who just got back from the supermarket.
Vannessa.
"Sorry, yes, brother. I'm trying to call Thalia one more time" Vannessa's permission.
"Yes, I'm the same Randy wait in the living room, yes," Aldo's permission was immediately agreed by Vannessa then the guy left.
Now Vannessa's attention is back to her two best friends.
"So, Thalia doesn't pesen anything with you guys?" cecar Vannessa who immediately can shake the heads of his two best friends.
"It's weird" Renata thought.
Marina rubs her chin.
"Where is he going, huh?"
