Kenandra Rai.
Which is currently ranked top in the nation's lanterns. Not only his intelligence is the main attraction, but also supported by a handsome face that is valued by many girls there. Rai even became a benchmark about a future dream mate.
The cold and cool attitude is not an obstacle for girls to continue idolizing him. They just keep getting more excited. He was used to all that attention even when he was born.
Born into a family of former artists who are notoriously wealthy and own several large corporations, Rai gets the whole attention of the people around him. Yeah, his life looks perfect. He made a lot of people envious by hoping to exchange places with Rai. He wouldn't mind that if there was a way. But it's completely useless.
But that's all that's visible in the human eye. No one knows if he keeps a wide gaping wound and hatred that has peaked until the crown and ready to explode at any time.
Rai was keeping a time bomb in his heart that no one could tame. Even the gegana team.
People may think that his life is so perfect that they envy him. They did not know what wounds he had until he chose to be more silent and ignore the surrounding. Speak the important-important and avoid useless nonsense.
Rai stared fixedly at the half-fat girl who was busy looking for something. He had no intention of calling her even though he knew that it was one of his classmates. His gaze was only fixed on one of the already blackened scars under the ear of the girl.
“Woi! Ice tea! Throw that ball here!”
Rai heard one of his friends screaming from behind. And a little while later the girl with the iced tea call walked over and handed the ball to him. After that he was again busy with his game along with his friends to score a few more points.
The break was over, and it was time for them to return to their respective classes.
The class leader came in with bad news, the teacher who should have entered at that hour had come home because there was a disaster, as reported. The class leader then conveyed the news to his friends and asked them to do the problems that had been given by the teacher by forming a group of five people.
Straight away all wrapped up Rai's desk. Wish they could be one group with the smartest students in that school. But as always, Rai will decide for himself who he will work with.
“Rai, where are you going?” Akash asked in a whisper as he saw Rai walking towards the back corner.
Rai simply fell silent as he continued walking to Esta's desk and asked the girl to become a member of her group.
This time, Rai chooses his friend Trio, Akash, Tina and lastly, Esta. He chose the smartest student in the class for his group, other than Esta of course.
Yes, unexpectedly, Rai chose a girl who was not even busy to look for a group and just sat on her stool and waited for which group was lacking people.
“Rai, are you wrong?” Akash asked again after Rai returned to her desk.
“There should be one fool in our group to be fair.” Seloroh Rai flat.
He did not notice at all that Esta was agape in disbelief with her actions.
“What are you waiting for?” Pekik Trio to Esta. He asked Esta to come to their table immediately.
The group's work went on peacefully and peacefully. Only Esta seemed to do nothing and just hitchhiked her name and signature on the answer sheet. The ones who do all those things are Rai, Trio, Akash, and Tina. They did not ask for his opinion at all let alone his answer.
A fortune for Esta because she does not have to bother to get good grades. But he also gets a sense of discomfort and pain when he is not at all considered even though he is an aggota of the group.
Class 3.1 is on the fourth floor of the school building. It's time to go home but Rai still wants to play on the volleyball court, along with the Trio and Akash. Things they often do.
But unbeknownst to Rai, it turns out that Tina is secretly following them from behind. The girl was gathering the courage to express her feelings to Rai. He did not want to miss the opportunity when he received good treatment from Rai during the group work. He felt that Rai was paying more attention to him.
“Ngapain you?” Ask Trio.
“I want to talk to Rai for a while dong.” Tina asked the two men to leave.
Rai is not poking. He just sat in the audience seat.
While Trio and Akash obey Tina's request. They could already guess what Tina wanted to talk to Rai about so they left the girl and prepared to see the disappointed face of a Tina, the smartest girl in the class.
“What's concerned, anyway?” Tina started the conversation by approaching Rai and sitting next to the man.
“No.” Answer Rai flat. “You said what?”
“Rai, I love you. We're dating yuk.” Tina said suddenly with a reddened face.
Rai did not look surprised because he had expected it. Tina is the girl who dares to express her feelings to her.
“Nggak.” Rai replied firmly.
“You don't even need time to think? I like you very much, Rai. I love you the same. I kept this feeling for a long time. And only now do I dare to reveal it.”
“Time waste.” Grunts Rai without turning his face to Tina. He stands up and intends to leave Tina and follow her friends playing volleyball.
Tina immediately followed Rai's footsteps with a small run. The girl pulled Rai's arm and bravely stopped him. “Not that you have the same feeling as me? The proof was that you were very concerned with me.”
“Do not easy baper. When did I pay attention to you? It's just your feeling.”
“Rai!” Pekik Tina did not accept. He was disappointed to get a direct rejection from a man he admired.
When Rai's body turned around, he found Esta who was seriously watching him. The girl pegged on the stands and watched Rai and Tina.
But after getting a sharp gaze from Rai, Esta immediately turned her face down and hurriedly bowed to look for the questioner who had fallen around.
“Lepasin.” One word full of emphasis.
Tina is stubborn. He followed Rai's line of sight and saw Esta but did not care. He is heartbroken because of the rejection from Rai. He no longer cared about his shame because Esta was watching him.
Because Tina did not touch him, Rai finally flicked his hand until Tina's hand was detached from him and immediately ran to gather with his friends and start the game.
