ELENA: The Quiet Girl
5

Elena looked at Sia as her hand shook the glass containing orange juice. Sia, the girl is busy with her food.

"Did you fight with your sister?" elena asked starting the conversation. Sia stopped for a moment and nodded. "Since when?"

"Why are you like a journalist?!" chirps Sia is a little upset. He continued eating.

"Actually your sister asked me to be her math teacher" explained Elena. Sia was shocked by Elena's confession.

"Since when?" ask Sia suddenly.

"Why should I answer your question?" elena muttered suddenly. He drank his juice again.

"Sad, you vindictive!" chord Sia was annoyed that Elena was replying to her behavior.

"Actually we never get along since moving to the apartment, I used to lie to wait for my mother's father to make up and pick us up home, but Leon knew the fact that the whole family could not come back again," sia explained in a slightly raucous voice. Her face bowed, Elena knew that the girl did not want to show her sad expression.

"Oh, so."

Sia again showed her usual expression, she looked at Elena with a curious look on her face. "Then, since when are you guys close?!"

Elena sighed before speaking, she did not know that the demon boy who always disturbed her calmness had come to her apartment secretly. "He's always coming, almost every day I can't sleep well because of him."

Sia was shocked by Elena's confession, she did not know if her sister was very close to Elena. "What's he doing?"

"Stole my bracelet, bang on the door, and now he's asking me to be his math teacher."

Again Sia looked down, she did not know to be happy or sad, in her heart felt grateful that Leonal was open to Elena but something else made her feel a little envious.

"I-i,"

"Well, I don't know if dumb girls and stupid girls can eat together" cut a girl with Fifi with red yellow-green hair like a rainbow.

"Well, who knows he wants to be taught to be smart by the mute," continued his friend with a rather large body.

"They do fit in, but if I'm being that stupid, I feel really embarrassed" said the tall girl with thick red lipstick.

"Who are you calling stupid?!" sia was upset. He also moved from his seat.

"Uhh, he offended guys, who knows if the value is below average? or rank one from the bottom? Hahaha-"

"A hundred and seven is proud" Elena said calmly.

"What?! how did you get-" Fifi was surprised by Elena's completely accurate guess. He had already lied to friends if his rank was still not far from the top ten.

"Rank one to ten is clearly emblazoned in Mading school, but the bottom rank no one knows, many hide because of shame but I know all so there is no point in you being big-headed."

Elena's words made the one who heard the gawking in disbelief. Even Fifi, the only person who felt overwhelmed by his lies, was exposed.

"Hahaha, I was only twenty-one, but you? now who deserves to be called a fool?!" teased Sia with her laughter. Elena just smiled a little.

"That's a lie! I am rank eleven!! you know what you mute!"

"Anu, actually I rank eleven" said a girl who entered through the cracks of the crowd.

The girl was short, shorter than Elena, wearing glasses and also her hair was braided in two making her one hundred percent look geeky in people's eyes.

"You're Anna?" ask Elena. The glasses girl nodded.

"No, why am I lying" Anna confirmed. Fifi looks back.

"Shut up! you want me to tell the principal to display all his ratings?!" yellen's upset. He could not stand the outrageous attitude of Fifi.

"Hehh, what can you do?" babble Fifi underestimated.

"Don't you ask why I know your rank? the principal asked me to re-correct all the papers, do you still want to lie?"

Fifi could not speak anymore, she immediately left the place with the embarrassed face she got.

***

After school Elena did not go directly to the apartment, she took the time to buy some elementary school math books until Junior High School.

If asked what he did it for? of course, because of his naughty student Leonal, he was determined to make the child smart math later, Elena also not only will teach about SD only, but also not only, however, he will also teach Junior High level math lessons for Leonal.

After her needs were bought, Elena walked out of the public library, her feet felt stepping on something, it turned out to be a car key.

His eyes caught the figure of a middle-aged woman in a knee-length brown dress and a hat like an English queen, Elena immediately took the key and approached the owner.

Slowly patting the woman in surprise and turning her head, her surprise also came twice after seeing the person in front of her.

"Elena?!"

"Sorry, are you looking for this?" elena asked while pointing out a key she found earlier.

The woman nodded. "Ah, yes.I looked for it everywhere," he replied with a slight tone of hesitation.

"Here, I give it back. Excuse me," Elena left immediately after returning the key.

Meanwhile, the woman took off her sunglasses and white mask that she had been wearing since.

His gaze was still on the girl he had once left behind. "It turns out you've grown up, my daughter."

Elena rubbed her chest, where the pain she always felt. Not because of liver disease or anything like that, but Elena's pain never healed since childhood.

Different this time the pain was more piercing than usual, Elena held back her tears from flowing out, honestly right now her feelings were so uncontrollable again.

"Why suddenly? I've been holding it for a long time but why is it more painful this time?"

Elena immediately ran over, stopping the taxi car that happened to pass by. Inside the car, Elena's cries broke, her tears kept flowing nonstop making her a little embarrassed at the driver.

"Sorry, sir. I have a little problem, is it okay?" Elena said before the driver asked.

The driver smiled slightly and nodded. "It's okay, everyone has their own problems. Cry so that your burden is slightly treated," explained the driver. Elena was delighted that her words had managed to make her heart slightly improve.

The noiseless cry was now over when she reached the apartment, Elena paid and thanked the driver for giving her a little motivation.

Weakly Elena walked towards her room, from afar she saw the figure of a small child sitting right in front of her apartment door.

Leonal who saw Elena arrive felt very happy, but the feeling was lost after seeing Elena with a bad face.

"What's going on?!"
