RUN WITH ME
CHAPTER 44: DOWN (AGAIN)

Inside the room of 37 disciples was filled with silence and tension clearly visible in the face. Those who usually make noise with their loud laughter are now silent while muttering memorize the test materials on this day. The testmaster standing in front of him looked around him intently, making sure no students behaved suspiciously. Then he started handing out papers one by one.

"On this first day, the subject to be tested is chemistry. Time to do it ninety minutes. Do it seriously and don't cheat" said the man, who had some gray hair firmly. A moment after he spoke, the bell for the test was ringing so that everyone began to read the questions, including Arunika.

With great seriousness, Arunika read the matter carefully and immediately wrote the answer on the answer paper. This chemical test consists of seven questions and all in the form of long answers, aka no multiple choice. But as his teacher said three days ago, during listening to the review of the material discussed by him, will definitely be able to do the test.

Hera is not much different from her best friend. Although he did not fully understand, but he felt he could still do it because he understood the basics. He occasionally stopped writing his answer and glanced at Arunika. Reappeared the worry in his heart as the woman was completely focused as if there were two huge stones on his shoulders. But back again, he could not do anything because it was predicted by Arunika not to interfere.

The silence accompanied by the frustration continued for thirty minutes. Many disciples exhaled heavily while staring tiredly at the problem paper, many also scratched the rough of his head while scribbling the previously written writings, he said, there are also those who behave indifferently and choose to sleep—they are the people who believe that the more time, the smoother also their brains run in doing problems. Is anyone trying to cheat? Of course there were, but had not done anything, the supervising teacher sitting at the teacher's desk had cleared his throat loudly, warning them.

Time continued to run until finally in the sixty minutes since the exam began, Arunika had answered the entire matter. The rest of the time he used to relax a little more while checking his answers. Sometimes he looked out the window to wash his eyes with an empty mind. But in fact Arunika's actions caught the attention of the supervisory teacher.

"Arunika, why look out the window? Are you done with the problem?" Instantly the whole gaze was fixed on Arunika who was slightly jolted as her name was called. He also looked back at the teacher.

"It's over, sir." The answer made some of his classmates upset, how could Arunika work on this difficult problem as if it was just a matter of one and one? The teacher understood.

"If you're done checking the answer again, there's no need to look outside." Arunika nodded though in a confused heart, did she look out the window wrong after finishing the matter? Do they think someone can cheat by looking at the sky up there? Just-there's.

Ninety minutes were finally completed, marked by the appearance of the voice of the vice principal of the curriculum field in each class speaker. Supervisory teachers began to take one by one the answer sheets of all students, then put them back into the brown envelope that was originally used to carry the problem paper.

"All right, you can rest now." After the sentence was thrown, the students began to scatter out of class while talking about the exam they had just passed. Some yelled annoyed, some resigned and chose to forget it.

In contrast to most of the students who chose to leave the class due to dizziness, Arunika chose to sit still at her desk and take out the subject book that would be tested after this break, Arunika chose to sit still at her desk, Physical Education or Physical Education.

Without saying anything, Hera placed the cloth bag on Arunika's table, then walked away leaving the confused Arunika. Intrigued by the contents of the gift of Hera, opened the bag. After realizing what it contained, Arunika smiled very gently with a warmed heart. Then he also found a small memo attached to the box.

Eaten, yes, let the spirit of learning. Whatever focus with the exam, you should still pay attention to your health. It's a count that doesn't bother you, does it? Such was the short message Hera wrote there. Arunika also took out the food box and enjoyed it while returning to study.

This incident reminded him of the incident this morning, when he had just arrived at class. A loaf of his favorite flavor, mocha, and a box of milk with a similar taste were on his desk from when. At first Arunika is confused who the giver of these two things. But when he turned his bread upside down, there was a handwritten memo that Arunika memorized who the owner was.

Take care of your health, don't be too hard on yourself. Passion, bea.(continue alone). Yeah, Gavin wrote it. I do not know when the man put it on the table Arunika because it was still half seven in the morning, but certainly, Arunika felt very happy with the small actions he did. He filled his stomach with food and drinks given by Gavin while studying chemistry.

In fact, the act of giving food without saying anything and sticking a memo with a short message does not stop at Gavin or Hera. But it still continued in the second hour of rest after the physical education exam was over with Floyd who suddenly came to him in class and gave two packs of light snacks. Then it happened again at school home with Maverick who blocked his way in the school yard, then gave five pieces of candy with different types—lollipop, gum, drowsiness-resistant candy, and then gave five pieces of candy, mouth freshener candy, and jelly candy. Memo of the two also contained not much different from the property of Gavin and Hera.

The following days were done again by these four friends so that Arunika realized, the action was a form of their attention to him but still think about his words not to interfere during the exam. Gavin, Hera, Floyd, and Maverick are so worried about her that they plan a funny and heartwarming act for Arunika. Appears gratitude in Arunika can meet and befriend the four humans.

It's just that, Arunika really felt funny to see her friends who took her words seriously, words that came out due to emotions due to the stress pile on her head. He was determined to apologize after the exam was over because after all, his treatment a few days ago had passed. His four friends no one knew the threat his parents gave him, he chose to hide it because he did not want them to worry and came to think about it. So it was natural that Hera was angry with him, also causing confusion in her three male friends. And in order for her apology to be accepted, Arunika plans to slightly "bribble" by treating them.

There is humor to say, when something is planned, then it will just be a discourse. A lot of people have experienced this, right? The head has planned everything carefully, but there must be events that make it into discourse only. That's what's happening to Arunika now.

After eight days of testing, he was eager to meet his four friends, apologize, and take a meal together at a restaurant. His heart was really pounding at the thought of it. But when the distance between himself and his four friends was only five steps left, suddenly dizziness struck him and his body was dazed. His gaze began to blur and the last thing he could clearly see was the four friends who ran frantically towards him. But one second later, it was all dark.

And ... here is where Arunika is now, lying on the bed of the School Health Business with one woman and three men standing around her. Arunika also grunted in annoyance.
