Love Exchange's
Episode 127: The Fire Stabbing Kalbu

It was late in the afternoon and the students were walking out of the school. As the bell rang home, I quickly walked out of the classroom alone without my friends knowing. Those who were still tidying up the bags still needed a bit of time before everything gathered in the corridor. Rein only regained his senses after seeing my empty seat.

“She's already first?” his inner. As I gathered outside the classroom, Icha was confused about my absence from them.

“No Adelard?”

“Looks like he came home first,” replied Gandra.

“That's how big it is for you?” rhean continued to Rein. At the same time Rein was just pensively silent with guilt still looming over him.

“It looks like so..”.

“You must be more mature with him,” cetus Gandra smiled.

“Really? Where did you know that?” ask Rein curiously.

“I was just second-guessing,” he replied.

On the way home, they were busy discussing the things that had been done earlier. Debate also often occurs due to differences in answers from each of them. Gavin who did not care about it then looked around while walking leisurely regardless of them. Until finally he was irritated by the increasingly noisy atmosphere. Cassie who was listening to them just fell silent agitated with their behavior.

“I told you the answer was A!”

“Which way possible! Didn't you read the text carefully? It is definitely the answer that D!”

“But the text does talk about the benefits of plants, meaning that B!”

“Already, already! I'm dizzy to hear you guys talk about it all the time!” lontar Gavin is upset.

“Finally I am sure that my answer is correct,” said Bella.

“It is not common to talk about after the test?” continue Rein.

“Come, work, forget. That's what you should be doing!” reply Gavin.

“Waw, very good quote,” chirps Rhean tickled laugh.

“Instead of discussing that, we better discuss how you can make up with Adelard,” Gavin said.

“Then, what should I do?” ask Rein to be confused.

“Loh? It's not that you're the one who understands the most about things like that?” concluded Icha not end up thinking.

“I've also just experienced it now,” Rein replied.

“Wait until it subsides,” said Gandra suddenly. Rein who heard it then did not think that it was the best thing.

“You sure?”

“It will be very difficult to extinguish a fire that has already been large.”

“Waiting for the fuel to run out?” ask Bella. Gandra replied with a nod, while Cassie had no idea what the two of them had just said.

Arriving at the dormitory, they saw me eating dinner in the living room. No one wants to try to greet me. Not long after that, I got out of my seat, washed the dishes, and rushed into the room. Before I closed the door, Rein's voice called my name.

“Adela—”

“True says Gandra... All this will not work..” Rein murmured inwardly. “Better I just wait for him..”.

I intend to spend the remaining time studying the exam material tomorrow, while Gavin who just finished cleaning himself and then cleaned his bag and uniform. Not long after, Gavin tried to talk to me, but I didn't touch him.

“What is your mood still bad?”

“Yah... It's only natural that such a thing irritates you, moreover you attach great importance to the value of everything.”

“And if I become like you..”

“It's impossible to drag him into trouble, right?” I who could not bear to hear him again then spoke softly to him.

“I don't want to be played by his words..”.

“As if he had controlled me..”.

By the time I turned to Gavin, he was already fast asleep on the bed snoring. I who saw him became annoyed with him.

“Basic sleepyhead.” On the other hand, it turns out that Gavin is just pretending to be asleep to end the conversation between the two of them. He heard clearly all my words just now.

“I feel what you say..” Gavin murmured in heart.

The wheel kept turning and now we had entered the third day of testing. Nothing happened beyond our expectations. Everything seems smooth until the day. Gavin is doing a chemistry test in his class. Once Gavin did not know some of the answers to the problems he was doing. He looked around to call Rhean. At the same time, Rhean accidentally saw a confused Gavin.

“Wah, what a coincidence..” muttered Gavin pleased. He asked one question after another with a signal.

Rhean answered him with a different pen position in his hand. After that, Rhean continued to ask me some questions that had not been answered by him. We did this for a long time. Until finally I've been working on multiple choice and now it's time for me to do stuffing. Of the five questions, there are two that Gavin did not think of.

“Aduh, how do I ask?” gavin's mind is worried.

“Pasrah only..”.

At the same time, I was focused on doing the things that were in front of me. The current supervising teacher was not very strict, although he was still monitoring us by going around the classroom. I worked through the matter smoothly, but suddenly Rein's eraser fell down my desk without his knowledge. Eventually, he realized when he wanted to use it.

“E—Eh? Where's my eraser?” he murmured in panic while turning his eyes in various directions. He also found his eraser right below me. At the same time Rein thought that I was still very angry with him.

“Eee... Adelard... Eraser...”.

“Adelard..”.

“Please... I beg you..”.

“I'm sorry that yesterday..”

I intend to ignore him just as he did to me yesterday. Rein who kept glancing at me then could only take a resigned breath. I who realized this was suddenly feeling pity and could not bear to be indifferent to him. The supervising teacher was not far from where I was. Rein was working on the matter with his head bowed and his hands sluggish. Not long after, the teacher was far away from me.

“This is your eraser,” my hisis while extending my hand towards him.

Rein turned to me and was shocked by what he was seeing. Her tears flowed slowly unconsciously and made me become shocked when I saw her. Slowly, he moved his hand then took the eraser that was on top of my hand. His slow movements made me a little wary of the supervising teacher.

“T—Thank you..” I who saw the supervisor teacher turned a little make me immediately remind him.

“Continue working first,” whiskey.

I continued my focus until the exam time was over, while Rein's test paper was a little wet with tears. The bell rang and we had a few minutes before entering the next exam. Rein who was next to me called out to me, but I was rushing to the restroom.

“Adelard...” I who heard it turned my head and smiled at him, then I came out of the classroom. Then Gandra and Bella came to Rein who was sitting quietly. The two of them smiled after seeing Rein's happy face.

“Have you improved?” ask Gandra.

“Already, thank you for your suggestion!”

“Thank God then..” says Bella. With a happy feeling he mumbled softly to himself.

“From now on, I will always make her smile.”.
