I'm Just a Figurant
Ch 5 - Group Duties

I stick with my original intentions. The meeting will be held at 18:30 WIB, then I also leave at 17:30 WIB. I wish I could arrive at the venue on time.

"Well, Khansa came out first."

"Where are you going Nduk?"

"There's schoolwork Well."

"Group duty?"

"Yes, you could say that."

"far away? Want Daddy to drop off? There's an angkot."

"No need to Dad. Khansa can go alone. Not far from the place. Khansa left first Well, Assalamu'alaikum..."

"Wa'alaikumsalam, be careful Nduk."

"Yes Dad."

Actually getting me dad will be more effective for me. But I'm self-conscious. The cargo didn't belong to my father. If I confirm my father's offer, it will be very risky for his work. Just imagine if there was a friend or boss father saw the angkot used to deliver his son, surely my father would be fired. I don't want that to happen.

It's okay I'm pedaling a bike. I'm used to doing it. Cycling also makes my body healthier. So I'm gonna be fine.

Slowly I pedal the snore for the sake of the road that exists. According to father's request, I pedaled the bike carefully. I don't want to suffer and make my father and sister sad.

To drive away the boredom and tiredness that was approaching, I sang along the way. Sweat began to pour.

I stopped for a moment and decided to take a break. Take my drinking bottle and hold it up. A fresh taste came to my dry throat.

"Alright, let's go again. The spirit!" My words are encouraging.

I did not feel like I had arrived at the meeting location. I look around. I still don't see the faces I know. I decided to sit on the empty chair that was there.

I pulled out my phone and stared at the clock there. The time has shown at 18.40 WIB, but why are his other friends not here yet? Am I in the wrong place?

I took my drink and decided to wait. I almost fell asleep when I heard someone greet me.

"Khansa, been here a long time?" A very familiar voice and filled my dreams. Make my body automatically strapping and sitting with a perfect attitude. I saw Alex in front of me. As usual, he is very handsome.

Alex wears a white polo shirt paired with jeans and sporty shoes. He looks like a handsome angel.

"Hey, I asked not to answer."

"Eh, uh i-iya uh ng-no..." As usual, I suddenly became the dumbest man in the world when I confronted Alex.

"Ay, I'm hungry. Buyin I ate first." Suddenly Diana appeared and stood near Alex. "Who is he?" Diana's eyes were fixedly staring at me. Assess from bottom to top, and return from top to bottom. Her face relaxed a little knowing my physique was impossible to compete with her.

"Oh, she's Khansa, my classmate. Khans, this is Diana, my girl." Alex is trying to introduce us. I stood up and stretched out my hand.

"Ay, I'm hungry. Beliin eat gih, please..." Diana whining. He ignored my outstretched hand. I pulled my hand back.

Alright, I'm used to receiving this kind of treatment. Getting one more time the same treatment won't hurt me. Anyway, who am I? Want to shake hands with Princess Diana? That's not possible, is it?

"Wait here." Said Alex.

Being together with Diana like this makes me very inferior. Let's just say a goddess and her maid are sitting next to each other. What a funny sight.

Diana ignored me. He's busy opening the latest Nokia phone. I could only be quiet and confused as to what to do. It's really an awkward situation in my opinion.

Then one by one I saw faces I recognized. My classmates started coming. Almost all of them greeted Diana and ignored me sitting next to her. I really wasn't in their eyes.

I decided to move to a quieter seat and wait for the event to start.

I saw Alex coming with the package and handing it to Diana. Alex is not only handsome in face, but also in heart. He treated his girlfriend gently and complied with her request. I wish there was a guy like Alex in my life... Well, I don't expect him to be as handsome as Alex because I'm self-conscious about my physical condition, but at least I want a guy who's as good as Alex...

Hah, think what I am? I'm 15 years old. Even my father still thinks I'm a little teenager, why is my mind filled with Alex? Totally disgraceful.

I was staring at Alex when a moment later our gazes met. I was misbehaving. Quickly I turned my face away and preoccupied myself with unimportant things.

"Kok moved here?" Suddenly Alex was on my desk. He put the package in front of me. I looked at him in surprise and wondered.

"Little snack. Fifteen minutes to go. We'll start the show." Without waiting for an answer from me Alex breezed away.

I looked at Alex's back deeply. Just now that I was fantasizing about having someone as kind-hearted as Alex, suddenly the man came up with something. Am I dreaming?

I was still staring at Alex who had rejoined Diana. The woman seemed to protest and glanced at me with a sharp look. I bowed my face.

I decided not to eat the snack and took it home. Diana's gaze made me very uncomfortable.

Like Alex's instructions, in the next fifteen minutes we start briefing.

Alex organizes his team and puts it according to his duties. Half an hour later filming of the group's duties began.

"And she was not very beautiful, but she asked for forgiveness." Briana grumbled as she looked at Diana who was always standing next to Alex.

I followed Briana's gaze. Maybe something's wrong with Briana's eyes? Judging from any point of view, the two of them were a very compatible couple. The men are very handsome and the women are very beautiful. Viewed from any point of view, Diana's level of beauty was*very pretty*, not not not not not pretty-beautiful am*.

Well it's natural that Briana is envious. He likes Alex. He will certainly look for the fault of the woman who became Alex's partner, not least at this time.

"Rapiin' my hair." Briana's orders.

"Good." I combed her hair slowly. Actually I served as a sexy paraphernalia. But since all my work was done, I was assigned to serve the female lead, Briana.

Filming was done for two hours. The theme of the group's task is free, so they take on the easy theme of teen romance.

The scene of the time tells of a couple who were dating in a food court.

Actually the scene is simple, namely Alex and Briana eat together. But Briana tried to take the opportunity by several times holding Alex's hand. Every time that happens, Alex will immediately pull his hand and the scene will be re-enacted.

I'm the only one who's nothing Alex is upset by her attitude, imagine how Diana feels?

I looked at Diana's expression. He looks pissed. I think it's natural that he's like that. He did not scratch Briana's face alone was already a fortune to Briana.
