SMA Negeri Lantern Bangsa Jakarta.
Ding dung, ding dung, ding dung.
The sound of a break bell rang and all the students immediately moved from their seats as the teacher was already away from the classroom. So did Esta, Desi, Tina, Arin, and Tria. The five teenage girls immediately headed to the kantin to buy a snack. Only Esta bought nothing but followed her friends to the cafeteria. After that they all chose to sit back and relax to spend the rest of their rest hours on a bench facing the field of Volly.
In the field, there were several male students who were competing ala-ala. Esta chose to sit on a row of upper benches behind her friends. While his friends were busy whispering while occasionally chuckling.
Not to be considered, it is a daily meal for a Universe. The somewhat stocky girl did not even care as long as she was not seen alone. He does not mind if he is considered non-existent and is always ignored by his friends. Yes, Esta still thinks they are her friends. Even with a high self-awareness, he knows that only he thinks that way.
Universe, she is just an ordinary teenage girl. Not have any achievements. With her slightly fat body she did not even look beautiful, but was also not ugly. Red rubber bands have always been his mainstay for tying his hair back to make it look a little more tidy, at least according to him. White clothes that almost changed color complete with a skirt that even a lot of sewing thread poking out, making him look a little seedy.
Actually he looks really messy and makeshift. Esta doesn't care. It's not that he doesn't want to get better, but his circumstances can never change better in the past. If only there was a caste, it seemed like fate had indeed deliberately placed it at the very bottom. He was among the hordes of exiles.
But even so, Esta remained well-behaved. He never complained to the giver of life even though he rarely worshiped though.The girl was always obedient with all the rules on earth. He never even broke through the APILL light when crossing the street. He never skipped school if only a mild fever.
But that is all that is seen from the outside. Inside, Esta had indeed died her feelings. His life is not easy at all. He was in a neighborhood that thought it was rubbish. Plus he was raised by his uncle and his wife who always fight every day but strangely, they never separated.
A scar? It was already a pride tattoo on his back and arms. He always considered those injuries to be a wound of honor that he must have. At least in such a silent way, he thanked his uncle and aunt for being willing to give him food, a decent place to live, and was ready to send him to school.
His mediocre intelligence, making Esta always rank near the end of her class. Yeah, at least he's not at the very end. There were still two of his friends who were more stupid than him. That made him a little relieved.
Unlike the handsome guy playing volleyball up front, who is always at the top of the rankings in terms of grades and friendships, who can see that he must have had a perfect life. It can be seen from his friends who like to have the same life. Both are handsome, and both look rich. The clothes they wore were like shining. Even their faces showed it all.
“Uuuuhhh... Cool. Prok,, prok, prok.”
Esta's friends seem enthusiastic when they see the handsome man doing a smash and put his team to victory.
“Just Rai it's my bust, yeah. No one can call him, dot.” Hiss Tina who instantly got a fist in her arm from her friends.
“You've only been crushing for years. Shoot dong.” Temptation Tria.
“The current time there is no such thing as missing self-esteem things shoot guys first. Hajar continues to mumpung opportunity still in front of the eyes.” Timpal Desi again.
Esta just listened to them. Every now and then the gaze of his eyes glanced towards the snack they were eating. He wanted that snack.
“Many rivals, Tina.” Tria.
“Kan? No wonder, he is so handsome. Supported by intelligent brain plus kolongmerat.”
“Conglomerates, kali.” Desi Protests.
“Ya, anyway that's.”
Esta had absolutely no intention of going into the conversation. He just pay attention to the object of the conversation of his friends while occasionally writing something in the binder book that he always carries.
Because the sun is getting hotter, Esta's friends choose to step aside and find shelter so they can focus more on staring at the man of their dreams. And again, they forgot Esta.
The girl was busy with her binders to the point of not realizing that she was living alone there.
Buk!...
Suddenly a ball floated and bounced close to his feet, the ball hit his binder and made the binder fall before being caught in the chair in front of him. The incident made Esta wake up and look around in confusion.
Esta immediately picked up her fallen binder. He was looking for the pen but it disappeared somewhere.
One of the school's idol men immediately ran over to the bench where Esta was. The man just stared without saying a word. He only saw Esta who was busy looking for something around her.
“Woi! Ice tea! Throw that ball here!” Strangled the other man who was still in the middle of the field.
Hearing his big name mentioned, Esta immediately straightened her body and looked towards the field. At first glance, his gaze met the owner of beautiful eyes that were admired by many of his classmates.
Without speaking, Rai just stretched out his hand to ask Esta to return the ball to him. It was fortunate that Esta immediately understood and immediately picked up the ball and threw it back to Rai.
There were no words of gratitude that Esta needed to hear. Maybe his appearance was enough to explain that he was just a person who should have been ignored. Moreover, his actions were just a trivial attitude and did not need recognition. A thank you is just like a magic spell for Esta. He did not even remember when and who last said thank you besides the customers he served at Pakde Karya's catfish pecel stall.
But it doesn't matter. That's not a big thing for him. He does not need a thank you especially from a polar man at school because he did not do anything great. Just give the ball back to the player. So what can be expected?
