I'm Still in High School
Chapter 29 The Change


The days busied themselves in preparation for the Olympics, making Gwen had to stay away from her circle of friends. The girl has a new rush, every break Gwen keeps sneaking away, and into the library. It made a question for Aldo and the rest of his friends. Because once they realized, if the break time came or the time to go home, Gwen had already left them first. In addition, Gwen who has always liked to drive herself to school, prefers to be picked up by a family driver.


"Novi.., do you know what Gwen's doing, why she always disappears first, before we take her away together.." during the break, Aldo approached Novi, my friend Gwen.


"I don't know Ald. because we though sit together, but never kepo to know each other's affairs. So. I didn't really feel Gwen's change in attitude, it's just that the girl was so quieter, not as usual always making troublemakers in class." Novi, who does not know what Gwen is doing, answers the truth.


"Okaylah. but try Nov.., you are fellow women. Tanyain dong, what is being planned, until it must leave us-us.." while turning back, Aldo left Novi.


Novi did not reply, the girl just shrugged her shoulders up. Since it was time to take a break of the day with a gap of one hour, Novi immediately stood up. The girl walked out of class, following her other friends. While walking, Novi finally thought about the question that Aldo had asked about Gwen. During this time, Novi never meddled in the affairs of the girl, and vice versa. But looking at Aldo who was very close to Gwen just to ask, it means that there seems to be something hidden by the girl.


"Hi Nov.... Where are you going, tumben own way..?" suddenly Sasa, a child of class XII IPA2, asked him.


"Yes Sa., I'm lazy with friends. They usually go straight to the food court, I'm lazy to the food court at this hour, because it must be very crowded. The queue is really long, so I if it's not the first break, it must be the last break if you want to go there." Novi immediately sat in a long chair under a guava tree in his classroom.


"Hempph.. Or come with me yukk, I want to go to the library, there is a task that I do not know the way out.  Well.. rather than yourself alone in this place, it would be better to accompany me in the library. All of my classmates had also split up themselves, most to the food court.." suddenly Sasa invited Novi to accompany him to the library, he said,


Novi thought for a while, then turned to the right and to the left. Only he was still in front of his own class. Finally after a moment of thought, Novi finally agreed to the invitation of the girl.


"Okaylah Sa. than I am alone in this place alone. Once in a while we keep ourselves at the library, keep away from the hustle and bustle of the bounty..." Novi immediately raised his butt, then approached Sasa who was waiting for him.


The two girls finally walked together towards the library. Sometimes they smile when they meet their friends.


"It looks like the library is quiet Nov.look at not many shoes in the storage locker. Many lockers are empty, the proof is that the key still hangs a lot." Sasa pointed to the locker where the shoes were stored, and it looked like some of the lockers were indeed empty.


"True Sa. let's go right in.." After taking off the shoes and putting them in the locker, the two girls immediately entered the library,


**********


In the library...


"Thank God, I've started to recall basic to applied Physics and Chemistry materials, I'm just doing some practice in the laboratory." Gwen smiled, as if the girl was being satisfied.


"I will try it tomorrow, now I will first indent the cubic space in the laboratory, also ask the laboratory to prepare some materials that I need.." continued the girl inwardly. Gwen immediately slid her feet under the table, and leaned her back on the chair she was sitting on,


Gwen was completely unaware, as from the entrance of Novi and Sasa had already looked towards her. The two girls looked at each other, then after scanning the barcode to be allowed in, the two immediately came to Gwen's seat.


"Hempph. It turns out that no one knows if you're in Gwen's library..." Novi reprimanding gwen.


The girl raised her face up, and smiled grinily when she saw her compatriot coming, accompanied by Sasa, a classmate of XII IPA2. Gwen immediately straightened back her seat, though,...


"Sit you beside me." The two girls immediately followed what Gwen had directed.


"It's been a few days I did spend time in the library Nov.well, because we were too long wasting time. In a moment, the national exam was in sight. We also have to think about being able to follow the selection to the campus that we will choose later.." Gwen still covered up her decision to join the Olympics, even the girl had already filled out a form, and sent it online.


"Yes Gwen, too, but Aldo, Asep, Raffi kept asking me questions. They think I know you're gone every break, and after school." From the tone of the speech, it looks like Novi feels uncomfortable being targeted by his friends to ask.


"Just ignore Nov. We do have to change, can't just like X class children continue. Look at the book in front of me, I tried to learn some terms, and the form of what Master often told me in class. It turned out that there were still many things, which I did not know, and I had to find out..," Gwen made an excuse, as her hand pointed to the large book of the encyclopedia that was in front of her.


"Wow gwen. oh no.., no. Mending I go to a private college, if I have to study a book that thick." Sasa instantly dodged looking at the book that Gwen had pointed out.


"he. he. he.., same me Sa.. Although I got lost in class XII IPA 1, but clearly, a book of this size is not my food. Enough Gwen.." Novi also looks evasive.


Gwen simply smiled and shook her head, but when she saw the librarian looking at them, the girl finally gestured for silence. The three girls smiled as they closed their mouths, but Sasa then stood up again, to look for the book he had wanted to read.
