Risa is not Zeline
Chapter 12

"Don't look at me like that, I just heard you didn't want to go to the cafeteria by yourself, I just had good intentions, accompanying you to the cafeteria" said the man Risa knew as class president.

"Hmm yeah thank you, but sorry, can I take my hands off."

The man stopped, looking at his hand which was currently grasping Risa's hand.

"Oh sorry," he could only scratch his non-itchy nape, misbehavior.

"It's okay," Risa nodded then walked over quickly.

"No need to rush."

Risa stopped and turned her head towards Nico the name of the man.

"A little while the bell comes in."

"Please, the first and second hours are empty, all the teachers will be close," said Nico put both hands in his pants pocket, walking ahead of Risa.

Risa immediately ran after Nico, and now the two walked together, chatting, without knowing if there were two pairs of eyes that looked at them dislike.

"That's Evan and Rio!" Risa pointed at her two best friends.

Nico nodded then followed the steps of Risa who is now approaching her two friends.

"Where the hell is Zel? From earlier I was the same Rio waiting, but you even just nongol," protested Evan.

"Gue was…"

"Our class leader is also here apparently," said Evan cut off Risa's speech as soon as he saw Nico standing behind Risa.

"Hmm yeah, Nico can join, right?"

"Of course," Rio replied.

"But the bell, again" he added.

"Nico said the first and second hours are empty, the teachers will be in a meeting," told Risa quietly, so that the others do not hear.

Rio and Evan looked at Nico, the man just nodded, making Evan and Rio cheer and cheerful, Risa shook her head at the two children's behavior. After all, they were much younger than him and were already like his sister.

"Jude, I'm gonna order a drink first."

"Let me just," Nico offered.

Risa looked at Nico unwell, the boy had taken himself to the cafeteria and now also offered to order Risa's drink.

"But…"

"It's just relaxing." After saying that, Nico immediately passed leaving the three people with varying expressions.

"When are you close?" Rio asked disperse Risa's daydream.

"Huh?"

"Lo's close to him?" 

"Oh, hmm no, just now, he went to the cafeteria together when I was going to the cafeteria. Indeed why?"

"Why indeed?" Rio and Evan said compactly.

"She was never close to anyone, not much to say, her life was just the same book," Rio explained making Risa spontaneously look at Nico who was now walking with two drinks, which of course belongs to him alone also belongs to Risa.

"And it's weird when he comes along, and he also offers to order a drink, and maybe…"

"Ssthey've come," Evan interrupted Rio's words as Nico's steps drew closer.

Risa turned her head and smiled, "Thank you," she said receiving a drink from Nico.

Nico just nodded, then sat down next to Risa.

"Yes is right, so we can relax here" Evan said happily.

"Yoi, what if we are mabar," Rio's suggestion that was immediately embraced by Risa and Evan.

The two are busy picking up their phones and preparing to play, while Nico he only notices the three because he never plays games.

All the disciples looked at Risa with different views. Again Risa gets the highest score even Nico this time lost to her. Moreover, Renata who is now in position is also shifted from the usual second person with a high value to the third, looking at Risa with an annoyed look also clenched both hands tightly under the table.

"Gue really did not expect lo Zel, yesterday mathematics and now other lessons you also get the highest score," said Rio who was proud but also at the same time amazed by the change of the Zeline one hundred and eighty degrees.

"But Zel, you've been really pretending all this time?"

"Hmm yeah that's it."

They kept chatting all the way, five minutes ago the lesson was over and now Rio, Evan and Zeline were walking together towards the parking lot. Zeline did tell the two of them to go ahead, she did not want to walk alone.

In the parking lot, Zeline sees Nico, the man wearing his helmet. Before long, Nico is seen staring at Zeline, perhaps feeling noticed by the girl.

Nico turns on the engine, approaches Zeline.

"You want to go back to Evan and Rio?"

"Hmm no, I'm picked up, I just want to move forward, walk alone like a missing person because of it," joked Zeline, unaware that Nico was smiling behind his full face helmet.

"Yes, come with me," said Nico made Zeline aka Risa frown, reassuring that she did not hear wrong, Nico spoke to her twice I was you, first when they're going to the cafeteria and now…."

"Ah maybe Nico is used to talking to me you are like me all this time" said Risa in her heart.

"But…"

The car that Zeline recognized Evan's car stopped nearby. The window of the car opened, and it was true Rio was now talking and inviting her in.

"Sorry nico…"

"Okay, it's okay."

"All right, I'm ahead."

Nico nodded, meanwhile, Risa immediately got into the car, opened the glass, waved at Nico before the car finally started speeding.

"It looks like Nico likes you the same," Evan chirped, making Risa's gaze that was staring out the window now staring at Evan.

"He looks different, I'm a guy, at least I know what he's looking at you," Evan explained after staring at the rearview above him to see Zeline's current expression.

"When do you think?" Risa asked, which is possible, Nico does like Zeline, the real Zeline is not her, and if Zeline also likes Nico, then happily, Risa will make the two together.

"Every time we are punished, he secretly likes to see you," said Rio who had been silent.

"Lo apparently realized also yo," said Evan glanced at Rio, apparently not only himself who guessed if Nico likes Zeline but also Rio.

"That means Zeline right," muttered Risa who then smiled meaningfully.

"Thanks infonya," said Zeline while again smiling to make Evan and Rio shudder in horror.

"Wait a minute," Risa then picks up her phone, looking at the chat history between Zeline and class president Nico.

"Just yesterday?" Ask because there was no message other than the one the man sent yesterday.

"Maybe Zeline has already erased it," Risa muttered and her gaze was fixed on the road in front of her, where it turned out that she had arrived before the gate.

"Okay, thank you" said Risa.

"Who picked you up?" Rio asked Zeline who was staring around looking for the driver who picked her up, but Risa's gaze was on a man wearing a black suit, who was standing leaning in front of the car.
