Return From God Quest
37. Get lost

Messy, one word that describes the state of class 2-E when I first entered it. This is the new school year, where schools should be getting better during school holidays.

During the journey to grade 2-E, I saw another class as clean as it should have been for a class on the first day the students returned to school.

But it's 180 degrees different from the class I'm going to take. It was as if the place had been abandoned for years. Plenty of plastic waste, cigarette butts, beer bottles to syringes.

"This place must have been used by naughty students to party."

Using my phone, I recorded the entire class. I intend to use the video to sue the principal to have him clean up the class I will be using.

During busy making videos, some students occasionally enter the classroom but they do not last long and eventually leave.

"I'm sure they're students who will become my classmates."

Did they leave after seeing the class, or because I was in it?. Surely the reason is because the dirty class circumstances make them disgusted to not want to enter, right?.

"Haaah... I want to have a schoolmate."

I unconsciously took a deep breath and revealed my true heart. That desire is not without reason.

Grandpa often asked about my school life. For example, what subjects I like, what type of sport I like and whether there is someone I like.

Some of Grandpa's questions I can easily answer, but the question about ‘how many school friends you have’ is the most difficult question I answer.

"What are you doing here alone?."

"!"

I was shocked in shock because suddenly Rayhan was already standing behind me. Being surprised made me lose my balance.

‘Ah, damn my hand will be dirty.’

In order not to fall into the dirty floor I intend to do the salto back, for that my hand needs to touch the floor surface as a pedestal.

But when I thought so suddenly my hand was pulled by Rayhan who then caught me, until the end of our position became closer.

No, it can no longer be called ‘Near’ because our bodies are already stuck together.

‘Damn it, he hugged me.’ I can only curse in the heart.

We were silent in the same position for a while, there was nothing we did but stare directly into each other's eyes.

You know, it's like a generic scene in a romantic drama, where for the first time the main protagonist and the female protagonist meet. A cliche incident that makes the two have mutual attraction to each other.

"Are you kidding me?." I said in red.

Rayhan who regained his senses finally let go of his embrace.

"I just want to help you not fall."

"Really?." I said with sarcasm, "How can I trust the words of a young man who sneaks behind a woman's back?."

"Sneaking around? I didn't sneak in, you're the only one who wasn't aware of my arrival because I was too busy taking pictures." Rayhan tried to defend himself.

"Oh, right. That must be what happened..."

"You'll be all right."

The quiet back in the classroom, we just stared at each other without doing anything. Until I finally opened my voice.

"So?." My toot.

"What?." Rayhan replied in confusion.

"What how!." My voice is getting higher, so is my blood pressure..

I started to get upset, never expecting Rayhan to be so stupid when neither Rasya nor Asami were nearby.

"Why don't you go, this isn't your classroom, is it?."

"Ah, yes about that it's actually me..."

But really, nothing for the reasons he gave.

"Missed? What age are you under ten years old?."

I'm skeptical of Rayhan's reasoning.

"Bodyguard, the princess of the Tanjung family, can get lost in school. This is gonna be big news."

"Kuh..."

The young man's tongue clucked as if he was getting annoyed with the attitude I showed. But he held it. Rayhan also intends to raise the class and return to class 2-A.

But when I watched her, she went to the girls' locker room.

‘What's with this guy?.’

My head hurts, how could I have been unaware of Rayhan's blind nature. Come to think of it again during the expedition and exploration training, I never once saw Rayhan holding a map.

I think it was because Rasya and Asami were indeed more suited to be guides so I let them decide the path. But who would have thought that the real reason behind it all was because Rayhan did not read the map.

A commotion broke out in the women's changing room, not long after which Rayhan ran out while shouting for forgiveness.

Rayhan then realized my whereabouts, he looked so awkward. Maybe he was afraid that I might start spreading some weird rumors because of a misunderstanding.

"Cabul, Prvert, H3NPT41."

"No, you're wrong! Hey wait don't go, we gotta talk."

I left Rayhan just like that without hearing the young man's desperate voice. I intend to go to the principal's office to file a protest.

The door was knocked, the voice of a woman was heard from inside the room preparing to enter. I was stunned when I made sure the signboard was above the door to make sure I wasn't mistaken for the room.

"It's really the principal's room, but why women?."

The headmaster I remember was a man with a sharp gaze. Although her hair started to whiten but she still looked authoritative and terrible at the same time.

But the charisma of the headmaster had changed a lot after I gave him ‘Definition’ in the most understandable way.

"Excuse me." I entered the principal's room.

As soon as I opened the door I was directly faced by a woman sitting in the headmaster's chair.

The woman looked so elegant with the suit she was wearing. Soror his sharp eyes also slightly intimidated me. Her face is beautiful with a high posture so high, so perfect as the potential of an adult woman.

"If it's not wrong, your name ... Karin right?."

It seems like this woman did not care so much about the incidents over the past year. The proof is that he doesn't even know me.

"Yes...." My gaze was fixed on the nameplate located on the table. ".... Miss Yulianti."

Yulianti asked me my purpose in coming to his office, which meant that implying that my guess was true if the principal had been replaced.

"Ehh... Isn't that a place you deserve?." He looked so shocked as if indeed the state of 2-E class was normal to him.

"Huh?."

I feel something strange.

"Ah, sorry that was not meant to be condescending. I mean, I'm gonna send a janitor right away to handle the 2-E class problem."

Yulianti said in a bored tone.

After that, I left the principal's office. When I was about to return to class, I thought back to the feeling I felt when I met Yulianti, it felt so nostalgic.

"So haughty, like the angels."
