Miss Cupid & Mas Cupid
6. Try First

"Kok elo out alone? Where's the quinine?" Grady asked shortly after the first break bell rang.

"Still finishing notes in class. He was late because he was not focused. I don't want to go to the cafeteria he said. Want to eat some bread, in the same class as Tika and Anggi. Understandably, women if again the arrival of monthly guests so, so rada mager." Answer Kala explained.

Kala and Grady accidentally quit their respective classes at the same time. And walk right up to each other.

When you look around, look around.

"Where to?" Ask Kala then. Because the girl didn't see a single end of her best friend Mahen's hair.

"So straight to the OSIS room. Said he wanted to list his basketball skills." Grady replied as he walked.

"Elo didn't make the list, too, Ge? I love it as much as basketball." Tanya Kala again tried to align her body with Grady. Because his steps are much smaller than Grady's.

"Replace easy. I thought about it. There are two more days of registration." Grady dropped his ass on the wooden chair.

They both arrived at the cafeteria. The atmosphere of the canteen is not too crowded in the first hour of rest now.

The next three days are indeed being held Ukesi displays or student activity units. The event is an exhibition of works or photos of activities of several units of student or extracurricular activities at SMA 1 Raga Nusantara.

Maybe that's why many X-class students are enthusiastic about enrolling for activities or extracurriculars. Or just looking for information about extracurriculars you want to follow. There are also those who just follow along to see the upperclassmen they admire.

"You don't want to go on that excrement, Kal?" He asked Kala.

"What's the deal, Ge? What can I do? What do you think I have talent? I want to open a matchmaker service at school. Haha." Kala laughed as she walked away from Grady. Closer to Patience, the meatball seller in the canteen.

Soon Kala sat down next to Grady with a tray of two bowls of meatballs and two glasses of orange ice.

"Eh, I forgot what you don't want to eat. But I already pesenin meatballs. Duh, sorry yes.. What do you want to eat?" Kala patted the jidat.

"Yes, nothing. Herein meat. I eat whatever you eat. You know I'm an all-eater, just like Elo." Grady took over one of the bowls containing a complete meatball.

"I don't eat meatballs with fried onions in one jar." Grady pointed to Kala's meatball bowl.

"Hehehe. Let it be greget. Let's just feel more savory." Kala grimaced, showing off her neatly arranged rows of teeth.

Kala and Grady begin to enjoy each other's meatballs in silence.

"There's something I want to talk about" Kala and Grady said.

The atmosphere suddenly became clumsy. Grady scratched the back of his head which was not actually itchy at all.

"Lo, just go. What the hell are you talking about?" Tanya Kala.

"Eh, lnga. Lo first time. Ladies first, right?" Grady.

"Are you sure? Really? Sure enough? Who knows, you might say something very important." Say it again.

"Of course! Really. It's okay first." Reply Grady.

They both remained silent for a moment. More precisely Grady waited for Kala to spend first the last piece of meatballs that had just entered his mouth.

"Ehem.." Kala sipped her orange ice. "Well would I be Miss Cupid?" Kala held Grady's left arm.

"Yes. You know we're 3 years old, Kal. I know a lot about Elo." Grady nodded his head.

"Including elo which is prohibited by the mother of dating in SMP. And about the elo who rarely showers on holidays." Further.

"Hehehe, yes yes.." Kala.

Kala changed his sitting position, turning his body 90° to the right. Grady also followed by turning his body 90° to the left. At this time, the two of them sat facing each other. Kala held Grady's arm.

"Ge, don't you want me to match?" Talk very carefully.

"Same. emm.. Rani.." answered Kala still full of caution in every word spoken.

Grady did not answer. The teenage boy just stared at Kala flatly. I don't know what he's thinking right now.

"So gini.. Rani likes you too. He asked me to help him make him the same elo." Slowly start to explain.

"Can't!" grady replied concisely clearly and firmly.

"Try it first, Ge. Try walking first with him. Rani is good. If not tried first, we will not know the fit or unwillingness.try first.. Please.." Kala cupped his palms together and raised them to the chest. Omens begging.

"No way, Kala. I don't like Rani." Grady Resolute.

Nibbled on his lower lip. She knew Grady didn't like Kala's words just now, evident from the expression on her face.

"For me. For the peace of my life. Try it first.." Kala was scared. But also still trying to persuade.

"For the sake of elo?" Grady knitted his two eyebrows.

"Let my life be quiet. Not haunted by the guilt feelings." Kala is still down.

Grady who had heard a story from Kina about Rani after she joined the canteen the other day, a little bit so understand the position of Kala. On the one hand, he was eager to help Kala. Whatever he can do for his best friend, he will do. But not this time. This is not in accordance with his heart.

"Please yes, Ge. once, try to go with him first. It will be up to the future how to do." I begged again.

"I said I didn't want to." Grady stared intently at Kala.

Kala looked down again. Rarely did he see Grady's angry expression.

Yes, this is his fault, but what's wrong with trying. We never know if we fit in or not before we try, do we?

Kala is still down. He feels guilty. I don't know what else to say. While Grady was still staring intently at Kala. Sometimes he takes a deep breath.

"Gue try. But the road is just the first." Grady was a lenient at the end.

"Huh? Seriously?" Kala looked up at her face, still afraid of being afraid to look into Grady's eyes.

"Is this what you want?" Said Grady with a flat expression.

Kala nodded his head like a woodpecker.

"Yes. For elo." Grady threw away his face.

"Alhamdulillah.ukkk! Thanks, Ge." Kala hugged Grady's arm.

Grady rubbed his face rough, then switched to rubbing the top of Kala's head.

"What did you say, by the way?" Kala released her hug on Grady.

"Oh, anu, that.. It's not very important, though. Just want to ask please ask to brother Fajar a good workshop where. But I'll see you myself, sometime if I see you." Answer Grady.

They finished each other's drinks, before the sound of the bell signaled that they should return to class immediately.
