I'm Still in High School
Chapter 15 Punishment
From his seat, Aldo looked towards Gwen. Since the first lesson, the girl was always daydreaming. Unlike usual, the girl was always throwing tantrums in class so often made the teachers become sensitive to her. While twirling the pen, Aldo always looked at Gwen.
"Hi Aldo.. what is happend? Since I saw that your focus has not shifted from Gwen, is there something wrong with that girl. We're observing it looks like your relationship is fine.." Raffi my colleague Aldo asked him.
Aldo turned his head lazily towards Raffi, then..
"Do you feel that nothing is missing today Raff related to Gwen's attitude and behavior. Since that girl was silent, I was like sniffing at her weirdness. It's been three days anyway, I'm actually suspicious of her, but I'm ignoring her." Aldo recounted the awkwardness of seeing Gwen change her attitude.
"You must be the one who knows Ald the most. Until friends tell me and argue with me, because they think and insist that you have a special relationship with Gwen.. But I hold on to your words anyway, if you were to be with Gwen, you would tell me at the earliest. Justen my words.." Raffi again asked, while occasionally stealing glances at Gwen, and fortunately the girl did not see him.
"Raff said, I'm still waiting for Gwen Raff because I see Gwen is not ready to be a lover. I'll wait until our graduation, at the graduation party I'll shoot and express my feelings to him." with a steady smile, Aldo said a promise to subdue Gwen.
"Hemph... succeed Ald.." said Raffi, because the next schedule teacher had entered the classroom, finally the two men were silent, not interested in throwing a tantrum.
The class became quiet, because Mister Satri was the teacher of Discipline and Tata Krama as the local content in this international school is famous very hard. Not infrequently, Mister Satria will punish anyone who makes a tantrum, so the class immediately becomes silent.
"Morning class. In my class, there should be no gadgets, cell phones or anything. Since we have to start ignoring the device, which has unknowingly poisoned and set the course of our lives.." suddenly the male teacher makes an order.
All the students listen to Mister Satria's orders except Gwen. The girl had been daydreaming and had unknowingly left the iPad open in front of her. Although it is seen if the girl does not see anything from the gadget, but it is clearly seen by Mister Satria if Gwen turns on the gadget when in her class.
"Gwen Alvaretta, is Mister Satria's voice not in your ear..?" mister Satria's shrill voice rang out filling the room, and Gwen who was still daydreaming was unconscious. From his seat, Aldo looked worriedly at the girl he liked.
"Gwen. dukk.." Novi who was sitting beside Gwen violently elbowed the girl's arm, and then Gwen realized but did not know if the whole class saw her with a worried look.
"What's happened Nov elbow me, since I've been silent, even though it doesn't make a tantrum.." Gwen instead confirmed to her teammates, though,
Subjecting his face, Novi pointed towards the front, and as Gwen followed the direction of that index finger, Mister Satria walked towards him.
"Mister understands that you are the smartest student in this class, Gwen. Do you still remember and listen to what I said.." in a high tone, Mister Satria asked gwen.
The girl turned to her left right, but none of her friends gave her any leaks. Finally innocently, Gwen shook her head as a gesture if she did not know...
**********
Gwen and Aldo became a spectacle of almost all students in the international school, because it was considered a violation of discipline. The two young men were punished for sunbathing during Mister Satria's lesson for approximately one hour and thirty minutes. Feeling sorry for Gwen serving her own punishment, Aldo also did a roar by kicking the class chair, Finally the young man received the same punishment, was expelled from the class and asked to sunbathe on the basketball court.
"We are truant yukk. At least our family was called, for me most papa assistants who would represent to come to school.." Aldo suddenly invited Gwen to ditch because he could not bear to see the girl overheated.
"Alah lazy Ald. we just enjoy it, and thank you can still feel the hot morning sun. Ustadz said anyway, but I heard it via you tube, ten o'clock in the morning sunshine is good for sunbathing, putting positive energy into our bodies, and negative energy from a nosy genie will get out of the way.." Gwen looks careless, and does not want to obey Aldo's ridiculous invitation. Though the girl's white face already looked to be turning red.
"Hemph yes if you enjoy it even Gwen. I will accompany you." said Aldo while continuing his sentence.
A while Aldo was silent, it was seen that the man seemed to be hesitating to talk to the girl. But once again, Gwen ignored him, because again the girl was seen staring blankly at the scene in front of her.
"Gwen, I saw something change from you three days ago. What's the matter, are you having a problem..?" finally, impatiently waiting for Gwen to tell her herself, Aldo asked the girl.
Gwen gasped, and the girl looked into Aldo's eyes, and they looked. Not long after that the girl smiled then turned her eyes to another place..
"I'm having issues with Ald's family, but I can't tell you what problems my family and I are having. If the time comes, I'll tell you Ald. But this time I can't. Many things I considered." with a bitter smile, Gwen answered Aldo's question.
Aldo took a deep breath, but the man's feelings about Gwen felt bad. But the man also could not force Gwen to tell him. Aldo just decided to wait until Gwen would tell him herself,
"Oh yeah Gwen.. Near the villa papaku there is a restaurant with a concept like in Jogja, with a menu of Javanese cuisine and buyers make orders with self service.." Aldo suddenly invites Gwen to a place.
"By Ald. but don't go home at night.. I was worried about getting sprayed from my grandfather, and there would be bodyguards coming to look for me to take me home later.." Without a second thought, Gwen immediately agreed to Aldo's invitation.
"Hempphs... I see Gwenn's.. So the man who came to pick you up yesterday and brought you home from that base camp, was the bodyguard sent by your grandfather yes, it's worth it..." Aldo made his own conclusions. And Gwen did not at all straighten out who and what Barra's status was to her.
