My School Days Were Full Of Enemies!
Chapters 20. Old Friend

Towards the dim light of the afternoon, Valerie was still holding on to the steering wheel, while driving her car. He still can't believe why a student like Roman would take his time to work part-time. "Roman, are you sure?" ask Valerie.

"I-I mean Valerie's sister?" Roman returned the question to Valerie.

"You decided to work part-time. But, doesn't that bother you with studying?" Valerie was trying to interfere in Roman's affairs.

"Of course, brother! I only worked for four hours. Rather than contemplating at home, I'd rather take it for granted" Roman said confidently. He tries to cover up the economic hardships his family is facing and, letting Valerie guess herself.

"That means, you're ready to receive a lot of remedials, if your lesson is really interrupted?" valerie said while raising the gears of the car.

Uhhh!! Brother Valerie really sucks! inner Roman. He turned his face outside the car window. Roman is upset when Valerie doubts his learning ability. Of course if it wasn't for the scholarship, Roman wouldn't have been able to enter that elite school. All thanks to his high IQ.

"Roman?" valerie asked as she looked at the mirror facing the back of the passenger seat.

"Sir Valerie don't have to worry about me. Better worry about Valentine's condition. I'm definitely fine" Roman smiled. He felt Valerie had been wrong, in putting her concerns on someone.

"alright. I already understand. Don't hesitate to ask me, if you can remedial," said Valerie who increasingly focused her gaze ahead.

So chatty! Just like my sister! A remedial? Whatisit? Some kind of cake?" inner Roman.

They continued their journey to Roman's workplace. Valerie then turned her curiosity to a place that would add to the Roman rush hour. "Roman, which cafe do you work at?" ask her.

"Hm ... If it is not wrong ..." - Rome focuses her mind - "Swe ... The Sweet Memories Cafe! Yep! Sweet Memories his name sis," said Roman who yesterday had seen the name of the writing on the cafe sign.

"Sweet Memories? Where's it?" Valerie had never known the name of such a cafe in her life.

"At any minute until my sister! In front take the right road," Roman exclaimed as he pointed his index finger to the right of the crossroads.

"OKay! Alright." Valerie looked at her right and left spies to ensure traffic safety. He then turned the car's steering wheel to the right. "Where else is it?" ask Valerie.

"That's my brother, up ahead, that's the sign above" Roman said.

Valerie slowed down her car. He then stepped on the brake pedal and stopped just below the cafe signpost. "here?" he said, looking inside the cafe.

"Yes right, brother!" Roman then got out of the car. He closed the car door and walked over to Valerie who was sitting in the steering room. "Sir Valerie! Thanks for the ride!" roman said while bowing his body.

Meanwhile, in the cafe, Andrea who was wiping the glass, focused her attention on a car that had just arrived in front of the cafe. He then finds Roman, getting out of the car. Roman's? And ... that womanuu .. I like to know her, Andrea's inner self.

Valerie was also curious about what the atmosphere in the cafe was like. He then moved from his car while following Roman, who had first entered the cafe. After opening the cafe door, Valerie was stunned. Wah.. atmosphere is very 'aesthetic' once, inner Valerie while looking at the atmosphere in the cafe. He was fascinated by the concept of design and decoration in the cafe.

(Prank...!!)

Andrea in her daydream, accidentally dropped a glass on the floor. "V-V-Valerie?!!" his dream, when he found the presence of a woman he knew.

"You ... Andrea right?!!" Valerie recognized him too. He slowly moved his legs towards Andrea.

"Valerie!!" andrea's cheers ran over to Valerie. He hugged his friend tightly. "Belgium ... Valerie!! Where have you been?!!" he said full of excitement.

"Andrea? Are you really Andrea?" - Valerie clasped Andrea's face - "Why is your cheek rounder?" sindir Valerie who was a little annoyed with the excitement of his best friend.

"Daasaar you're Valerieee!" - Andrea pinched Valerie's cheek - "Where's your fat? You're still thin as you used to be." Andrea also replied to Valerie's insinuation. He smiled because he could not help his happiness.

"And you're even more beautiful Andrea," praised Valerie while chuckling.

"Aaaaa..really? if I'm more beautiful, then Valerie who used to be beautiful, now her beauty surpasses me right? Aaaa ... This is not fair! Hmm!!!" Andrea turned her face away while pouting. He acted like he did in school with Valerie.

Heh .. a very moving atmosphere apparently, Inner Roman. He watched them while sitting at the bartender's table. The more left, the two women were the more ignorant of time. Roman was finally unable to stem his patience.

"DIAAMM!" they said in unison, with a super duper face irritated, turning to the child's face.

Roman was terrified. He turned his face in the other direction. Aaaapa! Like two demonic women! his inner.

He frowned after getting a creepy facial reaction from them. Misbehavior in acting, makes Roman embarrassed. Roman tried to stay calm again.

"Valerie! I'm not gonna let you go! Before you leave your phone number!" andrea said with great seriousness.

"Yes, yesaa.." - Valerie reached into her bag - "Where's your number, let me try to contact you, '" Valerie said after removing her phone from the bag.

...*** Some minutes later ***...

After exchanging phone numbers, Andrea invites Valerie to stop by for a moment. He served a typical cafe drink to his old friend, while starting a conversation.

"Valerie, you look so neat. Where do you work?" asked Andrea curiously.

"I? I work as a teacher" Valerie replied with confidence.

"Haaa??? Don't joke! I'm seriuuss." Andrea did not believe Valerie's words completely.

"Rubber! Why am I lying" Valerie said.

"Haha uhukk uhukk ... Haduhh ... Your guyonan is so funny! My stomach is almost chock-full of it." Andrea completely distrusted Valerie's statement.

"Basic!" - Valerie reached into her bag - "Here! Read it!" He took out a teaching card and handed it to Andrea.

Andrea grabbed the card and read it carefully. "Saint Luxury middle school, haahhh??!! N-No way!" said Andrea. He was amazed by the content written on the card.

"You need a witness? Ask the boy," Valerie said as she extended her hand toward Roman, who was sitting on his back to them.

"Roman?" Andrea pensively for a moment. Roman is a Saint Luxury high school student. My sister Audrey also went to school there. And Roman, come with Valerie. Means ... Uh! I'll ask Roman later! inner Andrea.

"Hows it? Should I tell him to come here?" Valerie's getting into Andrea's corner. He tried to throw his friend's unbelief.

"Chih ... All righty! I'm sorry, " said Andrea. Her embarrassment had defeated her disbelief, about Valerie's work. He then rested his chin while looking at his friend's face. "I didn't expect someone like you to be a teacher" he said.

"What's wrong with being a teacher? I work without any service marks. Is my face unworthy of being a teacher?" valerie.

"Of course not. I'm amazed at you. After not seeing each other for so long, you've become a teacher." - Andrea turned her face - "When I, after graduating from school, I can only be stuck here. Even for college I can't afford it. My parents are really old" confided Andrea, revealing her sad face.

Valerie was touched to hear the curses of her old friend. He immediately clasped the palm of Andrea's hand that was very smooth and soft. "The most important thing is that we are healthy always. I am grateful to be able to meet you again. From today, will you be my best friend again?" valerie said with a smile on her face.

Hearing those words, it was like being watered with spiritual water that was very soothing to his heart. Andrea was happy as she shed her tears slowly. He was so proud of Valerie's high caring attitude. "Then after this, you'll disappear again?" said.

"No! Promise to stay together always. Until finally met with each of us soul mate," said Valerie.

"And once you get a mate, you'll forget me? that so?" Andrea wiggled her flat face as she felt annoyed with Valerie's words.

"No no!! We should support each other even if we are married. That's also if you've thrown away the nature of your girlfriend's change!" Valerie cares about her best friend. "Remember Andrea, we're adults. Think maturely," he said.

"Hm!!! I'm not the one doing it! It's just those who don't live up to my expectations" Andrea concluded.

On the other hand, Roman was asleep. His patience had run out, and swapped places with drowsiness that assaulted his eyes. He did not expect that the meeting of two old friends was very draining time working on his first day.
