Owned By The Devil
[OBTD] CHAPTER 2: Unexpected Day [3]

The atmosphere in the classroom that had been a little crowded, now became quiet. There was really no sound until Jasmine could hear the clockwork clearly.

All pairs of eyes in this all-black and white room dropped full attention to her who was still standing gracefully and quietly.

"Kids, today we have a new student. Please introduce yourself" said Mr. Matteo breaking the silence. The classroom again sounded a little crowded with curious whispers that were mutual.

"Jasmine Lavatera, from Gellius High School."

All the students in this class were still silent, reluctant to make a sound. However, a few of them clearly displayed shocked expressions.

They started talking, making statements and random questions that Jasmine would not answer.

"Alhamdulillah. Add another clear-cut one," said Abrisam who got tampolan from Cakra.

"Whisper, lo, Albino Geckos!" Cakra was upset.

"Eh, you were the leader of the 12th grade children's ceremony, right?" Kalista looked at Jasmine with wrinkled brows.

Jasmine only nodded her head briefly.

"Loh, I guess he's a twelfth-grader," said another.

Iszara sneered. "Heh, hunt ingetin! Did he go wrong in class?"

"Gue knows who he is. Pantes kayak familiar with his face," said Razzu, the class leader looked at Jasmine with a slanted smile made Mahesa sitting next to him frown a sign of incomprehension.

Mr. Matteo cleared his throat loudly. "Already, continue to introduce later. Jasmine, please sit on an empty bench."

Jasmine saw that there were only two empty table chairs. First, near Camelia, her cousin who was sitting in the third row, close to the teacher's desk.

Second, near a guy who Jasmine had entered from the beginning, she had already unsheathed a glare filled with eyes that implied something to her. Moreover, the corners of her red lips were raised upwards. He sat right behind Camellia.

Jasmine was glued to her place. He cursed in his heart.

He is Sagara Ethrion Al-Abrar. Basketball captain Duaja Wijaya High School who is one of the leaders of the school. Backed by talent, a watered-down brain as well as beautiful facial features, of course he easily gained popularity.

Evidenced by the many fans who are mostly young girls kurbel aka lack of caresses who are willing to menjomlo in order to be able to flirting freely to him.

"Eh, Jell. Here!" Camelia waved her right hand. Jasmine was to sit on her right side.

Of course Jasmine immediately stepped out of her legs to sit down with Camelia. Not caring about the sharp gaze of Ethrion who never let go of observing it for a second.

Even after he had settled himself in the chair, he still felt Ethrion's gaze dragging behind his back.

Camelia greeted Jasmine with a big smile, "Gue was very fond of her. Finally you officially become the son of Duaja Wijaya!" Camelia squealed in excitement as she looked at Jasmine with a delighted look.

"Okay, Li," replied Jasmine.

"No! This is too incredible. There are also benefits for me if you move here," said Camelia. "Gue so have a friend to kongkalikong among the many children ambis in this class."

"Don't you have any friends here?"

"There was. It is simply not possible to engage in symbiotic mutualism! Not very cool, is it?"

"Same of you, anyway, it's a symbiosis of parasitism!"

"Well, that's it! It was too over ambushed."

"But what kind of ambis did it first? There is a positive side to it as negative." He patted Camelia's shoulder gently. "Don't habitually value something from one side, Lia."

Camelia thumped lips. "Yes, I know. But this is not in a good way, Jel. Like Iszara, Ethrion and Inga. They're class champions. Their rankings since the 10th grade had never changed in the top three!

But, minus Iszara the same Inga, they are very easy to feel envy! Be prepared if in this class there are most capers to the teacher, guaranteed to abis the same two drops of medusa! Kalo Ethrion, mah, stoked his rancid behavior that instead of making emotions even make gales want nyubit!" Camelia whispered at length.

Jasmine simply smiled faintly in response. And he realized that the student sitting right behind him was also listening to what they were talking about just now.

Jasmine remembered that perverted face. How could Jasmine possibly forget the brazen face of the guy who dared to threaten her with such ridiculous excuses as yesterday night just for being caught doing perverts in the toilet!

Little jerk!

Matteo got up from his seat.

"alright. Now close your books and put them in the drawer." Then Mr. Matteo picked up a piece of paper on his desk. "You didn't forget, did you, that today we have a brain refreshment? "

"No, Sir!" They answered compactly.

Jasmine looked at Camelia with a questioning look. "Brain refreshment is a quiz?"

Camelia nodded slowly.

"Quiz warm-up before ***. Mr. Matteo usually does BRE once a month. This quiz is really between important and not important, anyway. But, this could be some kind of helper for our value to drop!"

Camelia brought her lips closer to Jasmine's ears.

"And I'm sure one hundred percent, you'll love the kind of out of the box quiz like this, Jel."

Quiz out of the box? Hm.

Jasmine's eyes squinted in interest at her cousin, a second later she gave a brief nod. He understood the outline of this quiz. He looked up towards the front when Mr. Matteo called his name and asked.

"Jasmine, would you like to take this quiz? This is just a quiz to test how far do you understand Physics? Only contains 10 short essay questions," explained Mr. Matteo.

Since Jasmine was still curious about her quiz system, so she decided to take part in the Physics quiz today. Counting for brain refreshment so that gray cells in his brain do not wear out. So, Jasmine nodded in surprise.

"I'm coming now, sir."

"All right then. You know, right, that physics isn't just about calculations?"

Jasmine nodded.

"Good."

"Quiet down. Although most of the problems are random or outside the material that sometimes still feels foreign. But it's okay. Just relax!" Tukas Camellias.

"Yes, Lia. I am also relaxed. The nervous one here isn't me, deh."

Jasmine stared fixedly at Camelia.

"But lo, Lia."

Camelia propped up her chin and thumped in despair. "So of course, we're only given 1 minute to answer, Jel. It's getting better, anyway. But just make heart gymnastics!"

All tables are given one sheet of HVS paper which is then split into two, so that each student gets half of the paper.

"alright. About first."

All focus on listening to Mr. Matteo who quietly let out an amused smile when he saw the matter he made.

"The comparable set of forces relating to attraction between two masses is called?" Mr. Matteo's lips curled upwards after he finished reading the matter.

The students immediately wrote an answer they thought was correct. It's just a matter of warming up but it's a pretty drain on the brain.

Thirty seconds later Mr. Matteo told them to close the answer sheet. Instruct them to stop writing because the answer time is up. Not a few students are upset because they failed to answer the first question.

"alright. This time I want Iszara to answer" said Mr. Matteo. He pointed at Iszara who was smiling in satisfaction on his desk chair.

Iszara kontan berdehem. "The answer is ...,"

Many of the students in the class held their breaths waiting for the answer.

"Constantagravity" he continued three seconds later and smiled with satisfaction. He was very sure that the answer was correct.

Votes****** were disappointed some students called out loud after hearing Iszara's reply. The answer did not even cross their brains.

Mr. Matteo flicked his complacency. "Good job, Iszara. How many people have answered this time?"

Oh, what a pity. Only 5 out of 31 students answered. Of course they are Ethrion, Iszara, Inga, Farah and ... Jasmine.

Champion Four aka Mahesa can only be upset at his desk for failing to answer. Mr. Matteo immediately recorded points for the five students.

"Second question. Explain briefly what a photoelectric effect is."

A minute passed.

"Who will answer?"

All students raised their hands.

"It seems like it's the easiest thing, huh? Inga, try to name your answer."

Inga immediately replied with passion. "The effect of the electron emission of an object when illuminated by light with a certain frequency and energy!"

"Yes!" Mr. Matteo's words made them all screech happily. "Good! This time everyone answered correctly."

"Continue to the third question." Mr. Matteo rolled up his sleeves.

"A unit of power to measure the engine and so on which is equal to the lifting power of 75 kg of goods as high as 1 m per second, is called what? It's really easy. If you don't know, it's his name, "always Mr. Matteo. "Those who would answer may raise their hands,"

Iszara and Farah raised their hands high. But when Farah saw Iszara raise her hand, she quickly lowered her right hand.

"Yes, Farah. What's your answer?"

Farah looked up in a daze. "Emm, Day--"

Iszara cuts Farah's speech. "Sir, I go first, you know, that hands up!"

The whole class is silent. They were used to seeing Iszara acting like that.

"Ehm, i-iya, sir. Iszara first raised his hand," said Farah stammering.

"OK, Iszara. What's your answer?"

Iszara smiled with satisfaction, but she hesitated a little with her answer. Of course he can't give up. C'mon, think Iszara. "Eng ... absolute power, sir!"

Jasmine turned towards Iszara. A second later he laughed softly, followed by a slanted smile that rose on his lips. Camelia who saw it was astonished and asked. However, Jasmine simply shook her head while smiling faintly in response. Camelia was of course full of curiosity.

"Dengs! Wrong!"

Not a few students glared in surprise because they also had the wrong answer, just like Iszara. While Iszara can only sculpt in place with a reddened face. "L-loh? So what's dong, sir?"

"Try Farah who answered."

Farah nervously tried to make a sound with a slight stammer. "D-Power k-horse, sir."

"Well, this is true. This is the material of the Junior High School. It's wrong, Zar." Mr. Matteo shook his head in surprise while looking at the embarrassed pouting iszara. "Datah about the trivial, even a lot of wrong answers, the time is only 16 children right!"

Iszara grumbled in annoyance. Broken already his image as the smartest student in the class. He glared sharply at Farah which made the braided girl look down in fear at her seat.

This is what Camellia meant. Ambis students who are not in a good way like Iszara who easily feel envious. His heart always felt unacceptable if anyone was superior to him.

Iszara felt that he should be better than his friends. And without realizing it, he will monitor the achievements of friends or people around him.

If you want to motivate yourself, that's okay. But, if he becomes envious and feels unhappy about the achievements of others? That's not good, wear it!

Nearly 15 minutes have passed and now there is only one thing left.

"As always, one last question is always verbal. Who can answer, then, he will get 2 points" said Mr. Matteo. "Anyone knows, the unit designation for atmospheric pressure of 10 to the power of 6 dyne/cm²?"

"Well, the question is getting worse, sir," complained Cakra.

"Your less extensive knowledge, Cakra. Let's answer, does anyone know?"

Mahesa raised her hand. "Weber?"

"Wrong!"

Camelia exclaimed, "Wattjam?"

"Wrong again" replied Mr. Matteo.

Ethrion replies, "Abampere?"

"No!"

"Kilowatts?" guess Razzu, the Class Master won't lose.

"No, Razzu. Still wrong!"

"Rayleigh?"

Mr. Matteo clucked. "Wrong, Abrasam! So, the answer is getting worse? How are you guys, anyway? Time nobody knows?"

Iszara tried his luck. "Mahertz?"

Mr. Matteo massaged his temple. "Unfortunately, nothing is true yet."

"Kilowatt?"

"Kilovolts?"

"Candella?"

Okay. Their answers are getting worse!

Mr. Matteo still shook his head in the sense that their answer was still wrong. All the students fell silent, weakening the shoulders of the sign of giving up with the last question. Students as smart as Iszara and Ethrion alone do not know the answer.

Mr. Matteo sighed heavily before starting to count.

"Ten .... eight ... six .. sure no one wants to try answering again?" Mr. Matteo looked at his students who were still silent. He rubbed his forehead slowly. Time nobody knows?

"Three

...

Sa-"

"Millibar."

"..."

A person lightly chapped making everyone in this class turn their head towards the source of the sound. Mr. Matteo just pegged in his place. All the students in the class also fell silent, they stared at Jasmine.

"Yes, Jasmine? Can you repeat your answer?" ask Mr. Matteo.

Jasmine looked up, her eyes ringing with Matteo's black irises. "Millibar, or a thousandth of a bar."

A few seconds later, Mr. Matteo smiled widely, he snapped his finger. "Excellent up! Your answer is correct!"

All the students in the class turned their eyes before looking at Jasmine with a look of disbelief. Wondering, where did the new kid know the answer?

Camelia nudged Jasmine's arm. "Kok, you know what, Jel?"

"Read on," Jasmine replied briefly, densely, and clearly. He leaned his shoulders relaxed as many of his friends stared intently at him.

"Crazy, Iszara's eyes long ago dislodged, tuh, if over time glared!" camelia whisper. Jasmine just sniffed my shoulder.

Mr. Matteo checked the points scoring book. A smile rose on his face. "Well, it's time for the point reading." He cleared his throat while rolling up his sleeves.

The whole class was nervous.

"What I don't read, means I get a point below seven."

Kalista protested in annoyance, "Well, sir! So don't read it all."

"Abrisam, Cakra and Camelia 7 points. Mahesa, Razzu is also 7 points. Iszara 8 points."

Iszara almost screamed in delight on his bench as his BRE points were higher than last month's quiz. He confirmed the red ribbon tied to his hair then he propped up his chin with a satisfied smile. Very satisfied! Especially with the many congratulations he got from his friends. He's really in a good mood!

"Then ...," Mr. Matteo stopped for a moment. "Ethrion, Ingarisa and Safara get 9 points."

What's?! Iszara's smile slowly began to fade. He turned his head in disbelief towards Inga who was sitting beside him. It was a happy look that flashed on the girl's face.

"Behold, Boss! Ntar pas rest kudu treat us - we eat fried anyway!" exclaiming the Cakra that Abrisam was holding next to him.

Ethrion just smiled pretentiously while raising his thick eyebrows while grinning a little. Duhileh, the Captain's damage isn't my boss. Cute people if they want to be arrogant little no one dares to protest!

Camelia smiled rather wryly, "It's ok, Lia. One point is good!" he said encourage himself.

Fara also displays a happy look, inversely proportional to Iszara's face that is increasingly pias with a clear stroke of anger. If it's defeated by Ethrion, no problem.

But these? Defeated by Inga and Rank Five a.k.a a Bookworm like Fara who does not know himself proudly managed to beat himself in the BRE quiz this time?

Iszara held back emotions. How could he answer wrongly for such a simple matter? She's really embarrassed. If only he had been in too much of a hurry to answer the question and rethink the answer, it would not have been this way.

"Finally, there are also those who get perfect points" said Mr. Matteo who made the whole class scream in disbelief.

"Huh? The real one, sir?" exciting Cakra.

"Crazy, crazy, crazy. I know who got 11 points" said Abrisam.

Cakra turned towards his companion. "Seriously, lo? Who?"

Mr. Matteo exclaimed proudly, "Congratulations, Jasmine. 11 points for you for today's test. Brilliant!"

Jasmine's friends fell silent stiff; putting on a surprised look because those 11 points meant she could answer exactly 10 questions.

"Tuh, right! Just my guess," cried Abrisam.

Mahesa was amazed. "Feed, come on, anyway!"

"So that rumor is real, huh?" said Razzu lirih.

Mahesa turned her head to the side hearing Razzu's cry. "Huh? What rumors?" tanyanya who only got a soft gel by the guy who served as the class president.

"It just so happens, times, he gets so many points!" Iszara.

"Congrates, Jasmine!" tell his other friends.

They continued to talk, as if they did not care about Jasmine who was silent in her place.

Camelia's aware of something. He stared timidly at Jasmine who was slightly squeezing the sheet paper.

Lothawat! inner Camelia.

"J-Jel, relax. Believe me if all will be well" said Camelia softly, as if afraid if anyone other than Jasmine was listening. He knows what happened to his cousin. For that he gently grasped Jasmine's hand and tried to calm down.

What's actually going on?

Jasmine's jaw is hardened. He stared at the blank answer sheet. It was as if he had made a fatal mistake. Rigid curves are depicted on her beautiful face. His hand was getting stronger squeezing the paper which was now nothing more than trash to him.

'Stupid, lo, Jel! You should be able to break down, bego!' Jasmine's mind raged.

It shouldn't be like this. It was very desirable for Jasmine to snap at her friends to be silent so as not to congratulate her or whatever it was that actually sounded sickening in her ears.

"Congrats, Flower," whispered someone from behind right in Jasmine's ear.

Jasmine jerks. He loosened his hand which was still squeezing strongly. That person made him realize from his mind that had raged.

While behind Jasmine, that person was reviewing the grin on her lips.

"I found you, little flower."

Guess who was speaking just now?
