Coral said that if he was proud to have a good friend like Zio at this time, however Zio's situation because no one would be able to become Zio.
"You are a very good person in this world. My best friend anyway, and to me there is no longer a man as good as you." Coral ruffled Zio's hair.
"Don't mess with my hair, Coral. Don't you know I'm having a hard time combing it." Zio tidied his hair, but Coral ruffled again.
Eventually they ran to chase each other in a quiet classroom.
Bruk!
"Ouch!" Coral's body hit someone until he fell on the floor.
"Stupid girl! Didn't you see anyone here? Do not run around in class. Childishly."
Coral looked up and saw who he had hit, and it turned out that he had hit Rize's body.
"I'm sorry, we didn't mean it" said the frightened Zio.
Zio approached Coral and wanted to help him, but Rize's hand quickly stuck out before Coral. The girl immediately nodded at Rize's hand.
Luana who saw that certainly did not like it. He helped Coral get up off the floor.
"I'm sorry I didn't ask you to run over, Rize." Coral looked down in fear and immediately walked away from there. Zio and Coral sat on his stool because the bell had rung.
The lesson starts as usual. Until the bell came home.
All students drop out of class regularly, except for the kids who picket today.
"Dumb girl, you did your picket job today because I wanted to go straight home. Today I have a very important photo shoot."
"I couldn't either because my stomach was hurting and I had permission." Taza smiled as if he was laughing at Coral's innocence.
Luana walked by hugging Taza's shoulder and the two of them walked away from there.
Coral just looked at me silently. "Always like that, not willing to carry out picket duties. She was arrogant once just for being a model in a local magazine," Zio grumbled.
"Leave it alone, rather than him here and later commanding it on, I can't even work quietly."
"Coral, I'll help with your picket duty. Waiting for you to come home."
"No need, Zio, instead of you yesterday already picketed. If you want to go home first, I can go home on foot."
"Do you want to pass out on the road due to walking fatigue? I'll wait for you to finish."
"But, isn't it a bike you should replace with your cousin? he's got a broken motor, right?"
"Ouch!" Zio patted his eel. He forgot that some days this bike was used by his cousin who lived not far from Zio's house.
"You just go home, pity Sister Hena if it's too late for her college."
Zio seemed to think for a moment. He actually pityed Coral because it was supposed to be Coral today with his four picket friends today, but two people who were none other than Luana and Taza never wanted a picket and always told Coral to clean the class, while one friend today did not enter because there was family business.
"Let me drive Coral home later" a voice came from behind them.
The two people immediately turned to the origin of the voice. They were surprised to see that there was still Rize there.
"You're still here, Rize?"
"Of course, don't you realize that?"
Coral and Zio looked at each other. They were completely unaware that in the classroom other than the two of them there was still someone else.
"We don't realize you're here, Rize."
"You just go home and let me take Coral home because today I'm still going to be at school to borrow some books."
"Well, I'm asking you to take Coral home. Thank you, yes, Rize."
Coral looked perplexed himself as if he could not believe that Rize would say that.
"Rize, no need, I can actually go home on foot slowly."
"I don't mind taking you with me."
"It's okay, Coral." Zio approached Coral. "He looks like a good man" whispered Zio.
Coral knew that Rize was a good person because she had helped him.
Zio again asked Rize to help him drive Coral home.
"I'll go home first then."
Zio ran away from there because he saw a watch in his hand that showed less than an hour away from college
Now there are only two people facing each other. Coral who somehow now feels awkward if in front of Rize, he used to be ordinary when dealing with the man in front of him.
"I want to erase the blackboard first, you said you wanted to go to the library." Coral turned around and he walked towards the large whiteboard in front of him.
Coral deletes all the writing that is there as usual if there is picket duty at school.
Rize was still standing there watching the girl who was having trouble removing the topmost writing on the blackboard.
He jumped several times to get to that writing. He then took a chair and stood on the chair.
"Well?" Coral was shocked when her blackboard eraser had already moved hands
Rize took it and helped Coral remove the writing on the blackboard without having to climb up on the chair because Rize did have a high posture.
"Let me, Rize. It's not like you haven't got picket work."
"Later I'll tell the teacher here to give me picket assignments on the same day as you so I can help you with it."
Coral blinked his eyes a few times. This Rize is actually talking like that?
Rize put down her papa eraser and she held Coral down from the chair.
"Rize, don't be like this. It's not good if anyone sees, later we are thought to be dating in a quiet classroom."
"Aren't we really lovers, Coral?"
The deg!
Coral's heart beat fast again.
"Rize, I don't like you joking around like that. Don't play me, Rize. I've considered you a good person, and I'm happy to meet you."
"Wait, Coral!" Rize quickly held Coral's hand that was about to walk away from before her.
"What's up, Rize?"
"I'm not kidding with you. I want you to be my lover."
The two eyes stared at each other. For some reason now Coral saw that the man in front of him was as serious as he said.
"Rize, I've been played with by someone like this. He said he liked me and wanted to be my lover, but it ended up being all just a game he played with Luana and Taza who wanted to make fun of me alone. It feels really painful, Rize."
Rize bowed her body and looked at it with her flat gaze. "I'm Rize not them, and I'm not playing you. Do you want proof that I really want you to be my lover? Just tell me what should I do?" Challenge Rize.
Coral is confused now. He also felt strange about the man in front of him. Is it not wrong Rize wants her to be her lover? Butwhy? Isn't there still friends at the school who are popular and beautiful?
