My boyfriend's a Vampire
Episode 60: Youth Scientific Competition
Maya sits glued to the monitor of a laptop on her lap. His round eyeballs shaded by a pair of lashings several times blinked with his tiny lips tightly clenched, only his nimble spring fingers moved the mouse over the black mouse pad placed on his lap.
“May...Seriously very? So serem nih,”ledek Ryan behind the wheel.
The girl turned her head and smiled sweetly, showing off a pair of dimples that were clearly imprinted on both of her pure white cheeks.
Ryan stroked the girl's head with his left hand, then chuckled.
“Judah. Just spirit! Can I anterin not to the race place?”ryan asked with a straight face to the road.
“Mana can?Later also departing from the school car,”sahut Maya while watching Ryan who is focusing on driving.
The guy looked very handsome in his gray white uniform, his nose pointed with his bushy eyebrows and a strong and firm jawline. His light skin, muscular hands, and shaved whiskers made him macho. Maya's heart melted.
“What a perfect good looks. It's lucky that the guy docked in the harbor of my heart,”in Maya while stealing a glance towards Ryan.
“Hayo..Ngeliatin mulu from earlier yes?”cut it again while chuckling.
“Ah enggak..Cuma just wash your eyes so do not stress want the race,”sahut Maya ngasal.
“Wash his eyes see me, right?”
The guy laughed again until his eyes narrowed, and puffed his chest.
Maya can only swallow her saliva,”If it's true..Not wrong, dong. Kan guy himself.”
The girl ventured to make the answer she judged too bold, but what power rather than losing check.
Ryan does look cold to the unfamiliar, but in the girl's eyes, Ryan is a warm and protective figure.
“By a bang,May. Look at me continue. Will win.”
“This time the host is great, Ryan. Three years in a row the winner from that school too. Joseph and I only had three targets. Don't dare be more afraid of disappointment,”the girl's face was long.
Ryan widened his eyes and exclaimed,”That's great, May! Anyway the top three deh.I support!”
The girl's mouth was still talking about memorizing the material while staring at the laptop monitor, until she was unaware Ryan's car had been parked neatly in the school yard.
“Come down!”ryan exclaimed while releasing the seat belt.
Maya gasps in shock, hastily shuts down the laptop and puts it in a bag.
“Wait,Ryan. I deg-degan really,”seru Maya while trying to calm herself.
The girl let out a deep breath before getting out of the car. Ryan helped her with her laptop.
“Daddy. Later I was mistaken for a spoiled girl too,”prevent Maya while grabbing the laptop gently from Ryan's hands.
“Oh yes,May. I'll see you tonight! Don't forget to tell me the results of the race, ” yells Ryan when they split up in front of the principal's office.
“Doain yes!”
“Definitely!”
That day only two teachers and two students had the opportunity to accompany students who participated in LKIR at a famous school in the capital. They will leave in a school car.
Mr. Thomas has prepared with the car keys in his right hand. The 45-year-old senior teacher seemed to seriously chat with Miss Dewi, a senior teacher of Biology subjects who used to teach in the final grade of High School. Miss Dewi, a woman in her 40s, somewhat fertile and fair-skinned, seemed to fix the location of her glasses. Then they laughed together. Two students who were none other than the manager of OSIS were ready in front of the principal's office. They will be encouraging for the KIR race team consisting of two personnel. The two managers of OSIS are Affandra as chairman of OSIS and Dina, who is part of the academic performance development.
“Oh..The hero has gathered all. Let's go!”take Mr. Tomas down the stairs to the car park.
“Udah on eating yet?”ask Miss Dewi while looking to the right and to the left.
“Udah,Miss.”
“Number,Miss.”
“Lho. Hasn't anyone? Take it yourself! There are 12 food boxes from our school. Can be eaten until noon,”hung the biology teacher while laughing.
This means that throughout the race they will eat the same menu.
Yusuf who was a bit fat and thick glasses immediately received the rice box given by Miss Dewi and ate it in the car.
“The boy was indeed from SD doyan eat,”gumam Maya who secretly observed the way Joseph ate.
“I eat first,May. Hadn't had breakfast, ”he said.
“Yaudah eat a lot. Let you not lemes fit answer the jury question,”sahut Maya while laughing.
“Excite yes May,”seru Affandra who surprised him from the back.
“Iya,Ndra. Doain aja!”maya said while focusing her attention on the poultice that was in front of her eyes.
“If you're hungry, eat it. Gausah. Come Maya, eaten.”
“Iya,Miss. Later aja.Maya still full.”
“What time is it the turn,Suf?”maya asked as she looked at Joseph who was chewing food.
The guy looks funny with chubby cheeks full of food, Maya almost chuckles made.
“About eleven o'clock huh,Pak?”yusuf asked Tomas, who was sitting behind the wheel.
“Ya around that. Could be more too. But you have to be ready 30 minutes in advance,”sahut Mr. Tomas while continuing to stare at the highway.
“Makanya,May. You better eat again. Afraid of hunger even lemes fitting presentation,”imbuh Miss Dewi who behaved like mak-mak who was afraid her son starved.
“Iya,May. It is better to eat even a little,”imbuh Dina who sits in the back seat.
Eventually Maya receives the rice box given by Miss Dewi and eats half of it.
The car entered the parking lot of an SMA with a luxury high-rise building like an apartment from a distance.
“You are down in an orderly manner! If you want to move forward, you go to the restroom first. Afraid there is no permission pass already entered the race.”message Mr. Tomas while locking the car door.
In the competition room in the form of a large hall has been filled by students who come from various parts of the country. It seemed like there was a special room inside where the summoned participants would go in there and present their work before the judges.
They sat in a long bench waiting for their turn. In the open room there are only two ceiling fans so the air is slightly hot. The sun was shining very hot, white clouds were fluttering, the air was dry. Joseph who was rather fertile felt the rage, many times he fanned himself with a small paper fan.
“Tenak Suf,”whisper Miss Dewi while chuckling knowing her students start groggy.
Maya surveyed her surroundings with the corner of her eyes. This school student who wore a foundation uniform, looked perlente and full of confidence. White school uniform with foundation badge.
The girl closed herself off to pray and encouraged herself to remain confident while struggling. Many times Maya took a deep breath to calm herself down.
“Sixteenth group!”
“Our turn,Suf!”maya exclaimed as she pulled Joseph's hand which looked stiff on the chair.
“Oh yes. Come sir, Ma'am..We go in first,”pamit both.
“Believe yourself! Good luck!”exclaim Mr. Tomas and Miss Dewi together.
Affandra and Dina were encouraging by clenching their right hands while smiling.
Maya says good day to the judges and starts turning on the OHP. The girl presented her work on “Reduplication of DNA on Bat” with the most actual and most updated data, the explanation is very neat and detailed with scientific evidence and Latin names. Now it's the jury's turn to ask what they want to test. Maya and Yusuf can answer the questions of the judges almost perfectly. The presentation, which lasted more than an hour, received a standing ovation.
The girl could sigh and feel herself calm again, her heartbeat returning to normal. Now he sits back waiting for the jury's decision.
“Deg-degan no,May?”ask Miss Dewi while laughing.
“God,Miss.”
“Try if there is Ryan definitely not deg-degan,”goda Mr. Tomas.
The students laughed, Maya's face reddened. No doubt the headmaster also knew his relationship with Ryan was sniffed too.
“Nothing. They're going to college soon, sir. Her name is young,” said Miss Dewi defending Maya.
“Iya. It'sit's okay. We were young too, right, Bu?”
Finally the two teachers laughed.
“Her results today too,Pak? Maybe tomorrow just announced,”tanya Affandra.
“Shortly yes. I sign first into,”pamit Mr. Tomas while walking to the front of the LKIR race arena.
Soon he came back again,”He said the maximum at 4 pm this afternoon. So we just stay? Still 3 hours.”
“Can you get an answer from sms gitu,Pak?”asked Miss Dewi with a curious face.
“Can be. I have the mobile number of the chairman of the league committee. Back to school.”
“Yuk..Yuk...”sahut the students together.
