Letter to Atlanta
64. Lose confidence

Still with the same feeling, on a different day, Elisha who had just set foot in front of the school building had gotten something that shocked the eyes. How not, right between the towering pillars now attached a banner with a large photo of himself with Jay, do not forget to embed a short sentence of congratulations on the success of both won the music competition 2 days ago.

Yes, they won the first place in the music competition on Saturday. Not minded many students who returned to congratulate directly when meeting with the girl.

Elisha was still standing in front of the main door, looking up at the banner with a chaotic mind. I don't know if he should be happy or vice versa. It does not take much time to guess the feelings of anxiety that Elisa is experiencing, especially if it is not because Atlanta who did not attend the competition event and the loss of news of the man as if swallowed by the earth. Repeatedly Elisha tried to contact, Atlanta did not respond at all, it certainly made his heart grow furious and anxious.

Audible ******* a short breath out of the girl's mouth, she chose to step foot into the school building. With a downcast look Elisha did not care at all for the gazes of the people there. Even his ears seemed to be made deaf with the ravings of the Eve who was gossiping about a matching couple Jay and Elisha. Apparently the existence of the 'fake girlfriend' relationship both still lasted until that second, even now they are named as the most couple of Buana High School.

Right in front of the classroom door, Elisha again raised his head, seeing the condition of the class was quite crowded, but when their attention saw the arrival of Elisha, the atmosphere suddenly quiet for a moment. However, it was not that the main focus of Elisha, but there, he had seen Atlanta who was sitting on his stool, complete with a friendly smile created on the lips of the man.

For a moment, their views met each other, as if there was a phrase that both of them wanted to explain. Elisha took a breath, the girl's legs moved again, walking into the classroom with a flat gaze.

It's shocking! It turned out that Elisa was not directly sitting on the bench that he had been sitting on, but the girl was increasingly walking to the back of the class, rotating eyeballs when passing the Atlanta bench.

"Mark, I want to sit here" said the girl instantly.

The person being spoken to immediately frowned. "What?! You have your own bench there" Mark said.

"Lo moves ahead. I'm sitting here, I'm badmood again."

Mark sighed, glancing at a glance of his colleague—Lucas— who had given a slow nod as if to say 'just want it'. He switched to carrying his backpack and moved the bench to the front, with Atlanta.

Elisha starts to land his ass in Mark's chair. The occupants of the class certainly did not pretend to be stupid with Elisha's attitude. They were sure the girl was harboring anger at Atlanta.

"Lo why the hell?" ask Lucas slowly.

The girl just shrugged her shoulders.

Lucas sighed, propping his chin with his arm while looking at Elisha Lamat.

"You should have heard him first the reason why he didn't come to that competition. Can't you see his face got a little bruise? I'm sure, it must be a former fist," said Lucas who now switched to leaning his back on the head of the chair and folding his hands.

Hearing that, Elisha immediately pulled both eyebrows. "You mean?"

"Ck, I think you pinter, Elisa. Noh, look at the bis—'s face, I mean Atlanta."

A bruise? Former fists? For God's sake the girl doesn't know the state of Atlanta. Did the man really get an attack? Fuck those! Then why Atlanta seemed to disappear without news from that moment, even until now. Did he deliberately drive her crazy and die of curiosity?

Elisa turned to look at Atlanta from behind, where the man was bowing his head.

What's the matter, Atlanta? You're deliberately worrying me, huh?

He massaged his temple which felt twitching thinking about the man. Honestly speaking, the feeling of disappointment dominated his heart even more now.

"For children. Sit ... sit down, the lesson will begin soon."

All the students in the class chose to return to their respective benches when a Mathematics teacher entered the room that was not conducive at first, even Elisha who had established his body was preparing to start learning.

"Oh yeah, Elisha." The female teacher circulated her gaze, looking for Elisha's whereabouts, and the girl immediately raised her hand.

"Yes, Mom?"

"O—oh now you're sitting in the back. Congratulations on your success in the music competition. Mom was so proud. Thanks to you and Jay our school name is getting brighter and a lot of attention from the Mayor," he said in awe.

Elisha only smiled faintly in response, even the sound of applause now filled the entire classroom, plus the gazes of the students who were fixed on him.

"good. Now I give you 15 minutes to memorize the material last week, today we repeat daily."

"Yaaahhh, Mother ... Why impromptu." Complaints of students.

.......

.......

.......

The sound of the break bell rang exactly at 10:00, all the students cheered when they heard it, finally they could escape from the shackles of Mathematics subjects that managed to make the heart of the day racing very fast, so they could finally escape from the shackles of Mathematics subjects that managed to make the heart of the day racing very fast, not as usual.

"Don't forget, the paper replay today you love each other's parents, then sign your parents next to the value, tomorrow collected again," said the teacher of Mathematics subjects while cleaning up the thick book.

Almost 90% of the children in the class again complained, especially for those who have less than KKM, of course they do not want to get lectures from parents.

"Good day."

"Jiang, Mum...."

One by one the students switched to leave the class to immediately fill up the ammunition. Next Elisha reached into the cell phone inside his frock that felt vibrating, seeing a message from Jay.

...JAY...

El, to the canteen with yu. I'm into

your class now.

10.01

^^Yes, Jay. I wait^^

^^^10.01^^^

The girl chose to pack books and stationery into a backpack. He glanced briefly at Atlanta who was still sitting on his bench, alone, without Mark, because the bule man had gone first with his best friend—Lucas.

He pursed his lips, staring at Atlanta's back.

Basic traitor. You promised to be there for me always. But now where?

Right at that moment, 3 students entered the classroom. They approached Atlanta and without a word the three dragged him away looking confused. Elisha rounded his eyeballs to see him, looking at the man who was slightly crushed by the pull on the neck area done by an unknown disciple.

It felt like the girl was catching up with Atlanta and seeing what the three students were going to do. However, his legs felt heavy to catch up with Atlanta immediately. Elisha clenched his hands very strongly, he was afraid that something might happen to the man.

Then he went back to his breath, nodded steadily then moved from sitting, slightly running away from class.

"Elisha? Wanna go where? Why rush? I just came by you." The tall male figure that was already looming in the doorway before Elisha went outside managed to make his steps stop.

"I—it...."

Jay followed Elisha's index finger, and saw Atlanta being dragged around by his friends. Of course the man pulled next to the lips, because that was the plan.

"Udah justin. They would take him to the cafeteria. Mending now you anter me to the library first, I want to give this book," said Jay lifted some books that are in his grasp.

"But Atlanta—"

Inevitably, Elisha is only obedient with Jay who takes him towards the library. Although in his heart he was very worried about the state of Atlanta. Moreover, the three people were clearly not friends of Atlanta, indeed since when did Atlanta have friends other than her? They must have been planning to do something to the man.

"El, do you want to come in or wait here?" jay asked as the two were in front of the library.

"Hm ... I'll just wait here, okay? You won't be long, will you? Just back in the doang book?"

The male owner of the dimples broke Elisha's long hair and smiled sweetly. "It won't be long. Wait a minute."

Elisha nodded slowly, then leaned his back against the iron barrier while folding his hands, waiting for Jay who was returning the books. The girl lowered her head, deep in her brain, Elisa was still thinking about the fate of Atlanta, considering the events where Atlanta had been in the bully, further making her anxious.

"Els? Elise?"

The man let out a heavy breath, his hands raised patting the shoulder of the girl who was still silently daydreaming.

"Sina...."

"E—eh, Jay. Uhhuh?" kikuk.

Jay nodded, he turned to embrace Elisha. "Don't think. You don't want him to break your promise?" said Jay.

Right too, thought the girl. Elisha again stepped foot following Jay who took him to the cafeteria, and Jay's embrace never slipped on his shoulder. It practically made the students who saw it very envious of Elisha.

Arriving at the cafeteria, the two circulated their gazes, looking for an empty bench.

"Woy! Jay!"

A familiar voice for the two managed to divert their attention. There, Theo, already holding up one hand beckoned for Jay to approach him. Jay took Elisha back to the end of the cafeteria, to the man's stop with his friends.

"Awas... beware, the princess wants to sit here." Jay slightly pushed his friend's shoulder to get up from the seat he had prepared for Elisha.

"Liet down...." The curly-haired man turned to sit next to the bench he had sat on, giving more space to the girl he said 'boyfriend Jay' was.

Elisha landed his ass, next to Jay, and in front of the girl was Theo, and....

The student he saw dragging Atlanta?

After realizing it, Elisa immediately drowned looking for the whereabouts of Atlanta. The worried look adorned the girl's pretty face.

"Woy, mute! Real long. The chunky!" the boy sat across from the table occupied by Elisha.

Not long after, the iris of the girl's eyes now caught the figure of Atlanta carrying a tray containing 4 bowls of meatballs. With a stiff step, Atlanta approached the table occupied by the man. Elisha was just staring at Atlanta with no expression approaching.

Bruk!

Prangs!

Elisha rounded his eyes in surprise, he stood up from sitting. The girl clearly saw where the Atlanta that had fallen in front of her, along with the food she was carrying spilled out without any residue.

"God! Basic bego! Can you be careful, huh?!" Challenging the boy who was now standing looming in front of Atlanta, roaring Atlanta's head repeatedly.

Elisha just froze, hardened his jaw holding something churning in his chest.

"Lo want some restitution?!" sahut again. "Udah mute! Begos! A fool! Don't know yourself! Die, all of you!"

Hearing the commotion that occurred at the end of the canteen, all the students who were there chose to focus on the direction of the commotion. No one dared to defend Atlanta, everyone was silent, as if watching a very exciting show.

"Eat tuh! Clean it up with your mouth!" The man kicked the bowl underneath, hinting Atlanta to immediately clean up the meatball spill, with his mouth self-conscious. Really, that's disgusting.

Elisha was still looking at the heart-slicing scene in front of him. He saw Atlanta still bowed, the man's shoulder seemed to tremble, as if he was holding back a cry.

On the other hand, Jay only looked with satisfaction, his hand now reaching out to Elisa's clenched hand, intending to bring the girl back to sit beside him. But Elisha chose to throw Jay's hand, staring at Atlanta with a roaring breath.

"Lo deaf, huh?! I said eat, goddamn it!" The man squatted down, pulled back on Atlanta's head, and forced him to duck into the reddish meatballs with his mouth.

Elisha clenched his hands tightly, his chest pounding fast.

"WO!"

From the direction of the canteen gate, two men ran towards the crowd, the net of people there were fixed on the two.

Bugh!

One of the tall men was—Lucas—lampengjang people who were forcing Atlanta to touch dirty water on the floor until it fell into the cafeteria table.

"LO CRAZY, DOG!" Lucas screamed, pulled the collar of the man's uniform and threw it rough.

Mark immediately helped Atlanta to stand up.

Elisha was still wondering about the scene he had just seen. Mark and Lucas? How could the two men help Atlanta? Didn't they used to be one of the conspirators who bullied Atlanta often?

"Elisha! Why do you diem aja temen lo yourself treated rich gini?!" lucas is now standing in front of him.

The girl is silent. He himself did not know why he was so heavy to help Atlanta. Is disappointment still holding his heart?

"Lo don't interfere, damn it." It's Theo.

Lucas turned to stare intently at Theo who was already standing up from sitting down.

"Dogs, lo! I can understand if you are a clay rich gini. But now it's none of your business, it's Elisha's business!"

"Lo ngaca first, dog! Isn't it you who often bully the mute?! Why do you believe him now, huh?!"

Lucas clenched, the man clenched his jaw, his neck veins looked more and more pronounced and stiffened.

"DAMNIT!"

"STOP!" sahut Elisha, made the two men who were almost at war was fixated.

"Lucas, Mark, I don't know why you two suddenly took Atlanta. But one thing you both need to know." Elisha took a breath before continuing his words, making the attention of the people there filled with curiosity. "Gue doesn't care about Atlanta."

Lucas was surprised to hear it. Mark, the man snorted as the nonsense sentence from Elisha slid.

"Sheel!"

"WHAT! I TOLD YOU I DIDN'T CARE, MARK. I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING THAT CONCERNS ATLANTA, SATISFIED LO!"

Atlanta looked at Elisha, a tinge of disappointment emanated in Elisha's eyeballs when he came into contact with him.

Elisha, I'm sorry. I have broken my promise. It's okay if you're angry, I can tell him. Ii'm sorry.
