Not the Main Figure
0-4: Bullying At School


Basketball is like his soul. Early in the morning he went to school to play basketball alone. Stress and clear his mind. Calvin was still curled up in his warm blanket.


Rafan has not returned home at all, but in the trunk of his car he has prepared a bag and uniform. He deliberately prepared it because he initially thought he would stay at the aunt Diana's house. But he abandoned that intention.


He doesn't know what time it is. But the sky was getting brighter and some students had also arrived at the school. Rafan heard a noise from behind. Thalita and her friends from the IPS class. Rafan also knows some girls from the language class who come to see him.


It's uncomfortable. Rafan stopped his basketball game.


"Rafan, I bought you drinking water!" Thalita. Wishing Rafan a drink of the water he intentionally bought just for the man.


"Rafan, just drink the water I bought!" Gita from the language class called out to Rafan.


"Hey, Gita. Don't know Rafan. Mending you go to your class there!" Thalita.


"You should have left! Your menorak face is ruining the view!"


"What did you say!?"


Rafan walked away. Realizing the man was walking away, Gita and Thalita ran after him. But Shofi and his IPA-class gang are in front of Rafan.


"You must be tired. I've seen you basketball since this morning." Shofi thrusts a bottle of drink at Rafan. "Drink"


Gita and Thalita in the back were furious. Shofi is famously beautiful. Her beauty even spread to language classes. On the other hand, he has many male and female friends. And many have been in a relationship with the woman even though it did not last long.


At the moment Shofi is not in a relationship with anyone. He closed his heart and chose to approach Rafan. Of course many see the envy of Rafan. Women as beautiful as Shofi only focus on Rafan.


"Soge away." Those cold words surprised Shofi.


"Rafant?"


"You're in the way."


Shofi and his friends also make way for Rafan to pass. This isn't the first time. He's been rejected since Rafan was first in school. But Shofi hasn't given up. He was still relentlessly chasing after her. Rafan is the man he really wants to be. And he has to get Rafandra Paraduta at any cost.


"Gdgt.."


Shofi. Gita and Thalita held back a laugh. The girl from the IPS and Language class smiled wryly.


"It turns out it's still rejected. Like his taste is Ravan's not a woman like Shofi."


"hey are. Any rafan wants to be the same crocodile girl who has men everywhere." Gita spoke the words of Thalita.


Shofi emotions. They still laugh at him. Then he curled his lips. Shorten chest. "You should be self-conscious about this. If I'm just rejected, what about you guys who are just like potato skins?"


Hearing that, there was no more laughter. Shofi kept them quiet. The woman grinned and turned away with her gang. Leaving behind Thalita and Gita who were looking at him annoyed.


...*****...


"Later afternoon play yuk." Tama tried to invite Alka who was concentrating on drawing on her canvas paper.


The woman stopped drawing and turned to look at Tama. "Where?" Ask Alka.


"Let me know. Wanna don't?"


"Can."


Alka is back in focus. Tama noticed. I don't know what Alka drew, Tama was only interested in seeing Alka.


"Do your duty" said Alka. Although she did not glance at Tama, the woman knew this man next to her was paying attention to her compared to the object in front of them to paint.


Tama grabbed her pencil and started drawing. The man looks determined. The curious hira tried to get closer. Looking at the results of the picture of Tama who is in serious fashion. "Built." Hira comments after seeing the picture of Tama.


"Remember your own picture, Hir. I love people's comments."


Hira laughed while shaking her head. Not thinking out. Tama's level of purity is no longer helped. But the man was still not honest with his own feelings.


"Tam, the object is a flower in the vase" Alka said after peeking at the image of Tama.


"Difficult. It's easier for your image to be close," replied Tama accompanied by a spice munchalannya.


"Built." Hira once again made a comment.


Tama swung her hand. Intends expel. Hira was still giggling and he returned to his seat.


Tama's dependence on Alka is not measurable. Even so, Alka was still acting ordinary. As if Tama's attitude is very reasonable because Tama is a friend of Alka from childhood. The woman did not think anything.


Tama is still too scared. He was indeed honest that he liked Alkaisha, but he had not expressed his true feelings to Alkaisha directly. Alkaisha is not an easy woman to understand the intention of Tama's attention to her. In Alka's eyes, Tama was like a brother. Part of the family is also a very valuable friend. There's nothing more than that.


In class, Hira pondered. He glanced at Alkaisha who was writing notes.


"Why aren't you dating Tama? It's obvious that Tama likes you. He never expressed his love for you directly? Or shoot you to be her boyfriend?" Hira's row of curious-driven questions came out. Hira slightly lowered her voice. The teacher explained in front. Writing material on the board, but Hira could not stand it. He wanted Alka to tell him everything. Tama and Alka's relationship really makes Hira anxious.


"Tama has always behaved like that. We're like family." Alka's reply was unsatisfactory to Hira.


"But he thinks of you as more than family. He wants more ah already. This is why you two never had a boyfriend." Hira's tired. He no longer wants to ask. The answer Alka gave was never far from family or friends. It feels free to ask with Alka who is less sensitive in terms of romance. It is difficult to make Alka aware. The woman did not feel special in the slightest with Tama's behavior that privileged her.


School hours are over. Tama and Alka together. When they want to walk in the parking lot, they accidentally meet Rafan and his friends from IPA class 1-A and IPA 1-B. Calvin and Reno are friends with Rafan, while Heindra and Marcel are in the class of IPA 1-B who are familiar with Rafan after participating in eskul basketball.


"With a mute, but not a girlfriend." Heindra. Walk past them. Alka's eyes pointed at Rafan who did not make the slightest sound. He feels weird.


"I doubt Rafan is your cousin." Alka said as they arrived at the parking lot.


"Why?"


"So you never say hello to Rafan, you don't look close."


"Indeed," said Tama briefly. He handed the helmet to Alka.


"You guys got into a fight?"


"We're not close" that's all Tama can say in response. Alka didn't know what was going on between them. Tama never told me about Rafan. However, Alka felt this was not the first time she had met Rafan.


"Not to think about it." Tama disperse the reverie of Alka.


"All you can think of is me, not Rafan" he continued with a smile.
