Football System: Classic Number 10
Chapter 57: Following the Circle

Because of the events during the holiday, the relationship between Rizaldi and Salma was very close. Their proximity level is like a new rubber band so, the more pulled it will be the stronger.

Every day at school, the closeness between the two of them makes many people jealous. They were just jealous, they did not do bad things to Rizaldi because Rizaldi was the figure that his friends liked in class.

His calm, low self-esteem, love to laugh and smile makes them very fond of Rizaldi's attitudes. Moreover, as a class leader, Rizaldi was completely reliable to all of them, Rizaldi always did his duty with a high sense of responsibility.

There was a time when class C did sparring with class A, at that time his classmates were a little carried away by emotions and finally they were a little bit conflicted with class A. Class A did not accept their defeat, then they demanded it all to Rizaldi who looked cute in their eyes, but his friends were ready to be behind him at any time.

Rizaldi smiled a little with his current school life, it felt like he was in a dreamland because of beautiful things that he was hard to believe.

Rizaldi looked back, how was his school life before entering High School. Rizaldi always gets bullyan because he often likes things different from his peers. For example, at the time of SD, he liked professional wrestling where his friends no one knew about it at all, or at Junior High he liked Ward Prowse when other children prefer Lionel Messi, Mbappe, Halland or Ronaldo. Just because it is different, Rizaldi gets bad treatment from his environment.

"Zale? Do you hear me talking?" Salma felt Rizaldi a little daydreaming, then she approached her face to Rizaldi's face which immediately made Rizaldi surprised. "That's even daydreaming" Salma pouted

"Sorry, there were some thoughts that passed through hehe" said Rizaldi, but Salma was still pouting and would not listen to Rizaldi's voice for now.

Rizaldi scratched the back of his slightly itchy head, then he thought of a way that he could escape from this condition. Rizaldi took Salma's nugget with his fork, and unbeknownst to Salma he immediately put the nugget into Salma's mouth.

Salma was of course surprised, but she also felt the pleasure of dying in her heart because of Rizaldi earlier. His heart was beating so fast, his mind was a little chaotic like there was a storm inside.

His classmates who saw the moment immediately shouted in their hearts, they could not stand the pair of two lovebirds who were getting sticky.

"How dare you now?" salma said, with a gaze as sharp as a dagger

"Hehehe's sorry" Rizaldi laughed casually, before he finally cried out in pain from being pinched by Salma which felt very painful, even his classmates could also feel the pain and pain.

"Do you have any training today, Izal?"

Rizaldi was silent for a moment, nor did he know if today he had any training or not. So Rizaldi asked Dery who was also in class. "Dery, do we have any rehearsals today?"

"none. You can go on a date today Cassanova" said Dery, which of course made Rizaldi a little confused.

"Said Dery there's no training today, where are you taking me?"

"Nothing, after school I just want to take a leisurely walk and I want you to accompany me"

"All right then we're gas!" said Rizaldi and they both decided to go for a walk after school.

The time they waited arrived, the school bell rang so loud all over the school. Many students who have been running to get out of the school environment, some are in a hurry to go to the club room because their purpose is only that school, and there is also a relaxed-eating all the instruments of events that happen to him.

Just like the two lovebirds, Rizaldi and Salma did. The two of them relaxed down the hallway of the classroom while talking about stupid and unbiased things, so they often giggled and smiled.

Salma had called Mr. Teguh so as not to pick him up immediately, so currently Salma and Rizaldi are enjoying their time at one of the malls in the city of Banjarmasin.

They both visited many places in the mall, ranging from rides games, men's and women's clothing stores, to photo-boxes. Lastly, their destination was a fast food restaurant famous for their delicious chicken, especially when the skin is at the last meal.

Rizaldi certainly clearly ordered the chicken upper thigh, he wanted to feel the sensation of oily skin that could make the tongue wobble. But unfortunately, Rizaldi's hard-earned skin is maintained until the last bite, even taken by Salma.

"You don't eat too fatty, not good for your body" Salma said after taking Rizaldi's skin, his face like an innocent person at all.

Rizaldi could only cry in his heart, letting go of the skin he had craved was taken by Salma. The pain is like being pierced by a thorn in sembilu according to Rizaldi.

It didn't feel like they had spent nearly an hour and a half this afternoon, it was time for them to finish today. Before returning home, Rizaldi again stopped by the counter and ordered 2 chickens and 2 burgers, that was for Keisha and her mother.

"Everything is one hundred and ten thousand and eight hundred rupiahs!" said the counter guard.

Rizaldi took his wallet and paid for his order.

"Thank you" said the counter guard again and Rizaldi only nodded slowly.

"That makes Keisha like Izal's mom?"

"Why don't you cook Izal? Your fried rice yesterday was very good" Salma so remembered the cuisine made by Rizaldi yesterday which is very delicious according to him.

Being praised, Rizaldi could only laugh. Just this time there were people praising her cooking, besides her mother and sister. Sometimes, Melani also often brought Rizaldi dishes while still working in his father's shop, but Melani never praised his cooking so Rizaldi was confused whether it was good or bad.

Not long after that, Salma's pickup car has arrived. Mr. Teguh came out and opened the door for Salma, the middle-aged man smiled seeing the figure of Rizaldi and Rizaldi also returned his smile.

"Bah Rizal, I'll see you tomorrow at school!" salma said before getting into the car.

"Thank you son Rizaldi, thank you for accompanying Miss Salma" said the middle-aged man brimming with ethics of decency.

"No need to thank you sir, I am also happy to be friends with your lady" Rizaldi's polite reply made the middle-aged man smile again, then he got into the car and skied on the crowded afternoon road creeping in the middle of town.

Seeing the car that was far enough away, Rizaldi also walked home. It was quite a distance away if he was on foot, so he decided to take the city bus to get to his house quickly. But on the way to the bus stop, she saw her reflection from the trimming glass. He saw how unkempt his hair was, his hair was so long and a little curly on top because he did not pay too much attention.

"Am I trying to get a haircut?" he asked himself, playing with his hair.

Several times he looked at the rainbow of hair trim signs that are usually white, red and blue moving in a spiral. Until he finally came to one conclusion, he wanted to cut his hair.

Rizaldi opened the door, he heard a special sound after opening the door of the haircut shop. "Can I help you?" the same guard who is in charge of cutting customers' hair, welcomed friendly Rizaldi.

"I want to cut my hair"

"Please sit down" said the barber.

Rizaldi sat down, looking around. Many photos of hairstyle models that meet the walls of the store, there are also some famous quotes that make the atmosphere of the store a little more colorful.

"I'm sorry brother" the barber put a towel around Rizaldi's neck and covered his body so that the falling hair does not stick to his neck and body or the clothes worn by Rizaldi.

"What do you want to cut, brother?" the barber asked again, but Rizaldi had no answer to that. She doesn't understand hair style so she doesn't know what to do.

"Was there a recommendation?"

"Wouldn't my hair be long, would it be short?"

Rizaldi was weighing a little, several times he looked at himself who was in front of the big glass. Because it would be strange if immediately made short, so he prefers to keep his long hair.

"How about Two Block?"

"I went with it" answered Rizaldi and finally the barber shaved Rizaldi's hair with the Two Block style, aka the two-sided hairstyle that is being loved by teenagers today.

With deft barber tinkering with Rizaldi's hair that is too tangled if viewed it, not until 15 minutes he had finished modifying Rizaldi's hair that was tangled now more visible alive.

Rizaldi was surprised to see his change, he did not expect just because cutting hair could change people. This is the greatness of the haircut, in that place can make people feel handsome once in a while.

"How much is it?"

"thirty thousand brethren"

Rizaldi also paid for his haircut, he even gave a few tips for the barber because it has made his day more colorful this time. Of course the barber is happy not to play accept the tips.

"Thank you very much" the barber nodded several times to Rizaldi who was halfway out of the shop.

By the time Rizaldi opened the shop door, he was startled by the female figure that almost hit him. Rizaldi apologized for surprising the woman, but he stopped for a moment when he saw her face. He remembered once who that figure was, a figure that he could not possibly forget for a long time.

The woman also immediately knew that the man was Rizaldi, she was only surprised by Rizaldi's appearance which had changed a lot since the last time they met in Junior High School.

"You're Rizaldi, right?" the woman asked half surprised.
