SERINA: I'M AN EXTRA
LEARN TOGETHER

Too focused on doing problems and listening to the explanation given by Mr. Good makes time pass quickly. The clock hanging neatly on the wall of the library room showed at five o'clock in the afternoon

As the day grew darker, Mr. Bagus decided to end his exclusive coaching activities today and told us to hurry home before it got darker

Of course after giving a pile of paper containing material and practice questions that we have to learn and work independently at home

If you imagine there is a romance that occurs between me and Arka during this coaching activity, of course, you are wrong. Because in fact during the construction, we were only focused on reading and memorizing the material and were busy working on a collection of questions until we did not realize that we were alone and sitting opposite each other in the library

In fact, Arka and I sometimes argue with each other because they have different ways and answers when working on the same problem. Even so, still I feel embarrassed when I recall how the atmosphere we faced some time ago in the library during the coaching activities took place. To the point of not realizing I had been dissolved in my imagination when I felt someone's hand slap my shoulder a few times

“Serina” Arka called my name in a slightly loud voice while several times clapping her arms on my shoulder

At this time Arka and I were walking down the school stairs after a few seconds ago Mr. Bagus ordered us to immediately go home to each other because the day was getting darker

Like waking up from another world, I also reflexively turned my head and found Arka who is currently looking at me with a frown “Eh, yes why Ka?”

Hearing the sentence that finally came out of my mouth made the wrinkles on Arka's forehead grow more and more, and more, until then he flicked his hand right in my face and asked in a suspicious tone “You why from earlier smile alone? Don't tell me you got a ghost library?”

Quickly, I also clenched my right hand and several times hit it softly at the end of my head “Ih amit-amit!”

“Kok you said that anyway?” I said again while raising a sharp gaze at Arka who even grimly displayed a row of white teeth

“Lagian also you why the hell Ser? Daritadi I call nyaut even smiley own” said Arka who makes me smile clumsy. Arka did not know, the reason that made me look like a person as soon as the library ghost as he mentioned was himself

“Nok why-why, did you call? No wonder!” my elak was quick while slightly looking up in order to clearly see Arka's facial expression

Hearing my answer, Arka snorted while rolling her eyes lazy

“Emang did not call anyway, just call your name a few times” he said casually which of course I immediately replied by hitting hard his right arm

He only grimaced while showing his heartbreaking gaze which made me unbearable and inevitably changed my fist into a gentle swab to relieve the pain of my punch on Arka's arm

After approaching the school gate, Arka stopped her steps. He opened his mouth again while looking down at me who is currently stopping and standing right to his right “You have been told the house person asked to be picked up?”

I've been getting a lot of attention and sweet treatment from Arka over the last week at school. And it should have been more than a week to get myself used to every attitude and behavior that Arka showed me. But somehow my heart still thumped hard when it found every gaze, treatment and attitude of Arka to me

Moreover, knowing the difference in treatment given by Arka to me and Alea while in school made me wonder several times, is Arka also like her now? Secretly paying attention and keeping interest in the heart?

After a while struggling with various fantasies that came to my head, I quickly shook my head to get back to my current situation “Udah really, earlier before finishing the book I sent a message first to papa asking at fettle”

Hearing my answer, Arka only beroh ria while several times nodding her head “Then I then menemenin until papa you come yes in front of”

I was just about to agree to Arka's offer, until my bead caught my eye a sedan car that I knew moved slowly before then pulled it over right in front of the school gate

“Eh kanya do not need to Ka, it's papa car I've come” said I to Arka while pointing at the car that had just pulled over and perched sweetly in front of the school gate using my chin

Could it be that right now I feel very upset to the father who is pretending to be a standby father for his son like now?

If not at a moment like this, I might be very grateful to see my father who is not busy and can pick me up quickly after I send him a message

But for today I really wish papa would be super busy and pick me up late so I have a longer time with Arka

“Oh, that's your papa car huh? Yaudah deh if so I directly pesen ojek online aja” he said while glancing briefly papa car before his hand nimbly took the phone from his uniform pocket and focused for a few seconds to order the online motorcycle taxi will take him home

I just nodded as I walked back to the gate because my father had been waving his hands through the window of the car and told me to quickly enter because the day was getting darker

“Yaudah Ka, I go home first huh. Mama ojek said online is a little dangerous, so you are careful. Before boarding the photo first license plate number, so if something is not right you can immediately report to polis” I said at length before we will really split today

Hearing my words that might sound excessive, Arka just laughed so much that she again displayed two small crescent moons on her face which of course made me even more reluctant to part for the next few hours with her

...***...

The sun, which was still shy to show its light, was now completely sunk by the horizon when the car that my father and I were riding in landed safely on the porch

I immediately rushed into my room on the second floor. Putting the backpack and book that I had held on to the study table that was always faithful became my focus to absorb every science in the book.

After that, I immediately rushed into the bathroom. Watering my body with cold water that not only cools my body, but also my head that feels very hot because it is forced to keep thinking all day. Of course not only think about the material and the practice of the matter, but also the meaning of every sweet treatment that Arka always gave me

Not until fifteen minutes I came out of the bathroom with a body that felt very fresh with a towel that I still wrapped around my head to prevent the water from shampooing my hair fell splattered on the floor. Uniforms that feel sticky because of the day attached to my body have been changed with comfortable and fragrant home clothes

There was still a few minutes before I had to fulfill my obligation to help mama prepare dinner in the kitchen. I decided to relax on the sofa in the living room with a small book accompanying me with my time

No, not a material notebook or a book of practice on the matter that I am currently holding tightly using both hands, but it was a romance novel that Saemi gave me a few days ago as a gift when she came here

Accompanied by soothing music from aipod attached to both ears, I began to read word by word neatly arranged by the author to make his readers become as if they were there and become silent witnesses of the love journey of the main character

“Where? Good story isn't?” the question that Saemi asked suddenly made me jump in shock to wake up from my stomach position while releasing the airpod that still channeled the song I played at a low volume from my phone

“Saem….. How come you don't use cue anyway? Kan I became shocked” said I felt annoyed after successfully neutralizing my surprise by throwing a sofa cushion towards Saemi. Instead of feeling guilty, Saemi chuckles while feeding a small spoon of ice cream into her mouth

Just now I was going to continue my reading activities that had been disturbed by Saemi's nosy behavior before it crossed my tired brain a thing that I should immediately discuss with Saemi

“Saem....” call me slowly to Saemi who is still busy devouring chocolate flavored ice cream in her hand

Saemi turned her head, looking at me with a suspicious look “What? Wantsome? Take it yourself there in refrigerator”

“No, there's something I have to say to you” I said carefully while closing the novel I haven't read yet and putting it on the table

Hearing my serious-sounding tone, Saemi looked at me. Maybe he was on his guard, afraid that I would bring back the sensitive thing that made him a little angry with me a few days ago. Understanding the meaning of Saemi's gaze, I quickly shook my head. Refuting whatever Saemi is thinking right now

“Not! It's not that problem…. Yesterday I promised not to discuss the problem again” I explained quickly before Saemi's mood turned bad

“If not continue what problem?” saemi asked with a suspicious look

“So gini...” I deliberately paused my sentence 'to sort the word as best as possible before getting it out through my mouth.

“Yesterday I will tell you the same story that next week I will have the Olympics” obviously I continue my sentence that was cut. Because it was too happy to be able to follow the Olympics with Arka, yesterday after school I immediately ran to the Saemi study room to tell the happy news even though I saw there was still a private teacher Saemi was explaining the physics formula

“Iya keep why?” saemi replied again with a slightly more relaxed tone

Feeling a good response, I also continued my sentence on Saemi “Nah! Because the time mepet, so I am the same temen I have agreed to keep studying together on weekend”

“I was already discussing the same he made surein a place that is roughly suitable for us to be a place to learn” I paused my speech again to see Saemi's reaction

“After considering a few things, we finally agreed to study at home” this time I continue my words by staring into Saemi's bead

“Where? You are okay Saem if I pinjem the room you use homeschooling to learn with my friends?” I asked directly to the point at Saemi who is currently also looking into my eyes

Saemi seemed to think hard for a few moments with a face that was difficult to interpret. The chocolate-flavored ice cream cup he held was empty, as the contents had moved on Saemi's distended stomach.

While waiting for Saemi to open her voice, I tied my hands together and placed them in front of my chest while twitching my eyes to look at Saemi's bead of expectant eyes.

Instead of opening my mouth to speak and answering my request, Saemi raised both corners of her lips up while exhaling an anxious breath that confused me. Is Saemi currently being sarcastic towards me before rejecting my fated request?

“Serina...” Saemi called out to me, still with a smile on her face that somehow made me even more afraid

“You know, this is your parents' house. I just hitchhiked here, imo same samchon nerima I stay here until I give me a room and room for school only I was already seneng quite” Saemi paused her sentence, glancing at the two doors of the room in front of him before looking back at my bead

“And again, they are your friends. I have no right to deny them coming here, let alone come to learn the preparation of the Olympics” Saemi ended his sentence with a faint smile on me

Hearing Saemi's long explanation subconsciously made both corners of my lips lift up. I also brought myself closer to Saemi and threw myself into her arms. At the moment I can only hope, hopefully with the arrival of my friends at home will slowly make Saemi's confidence back

“Oh yes Saem, I will often nyeritain you to my friends. Well he said they later all asked to be known to you, you want to be acquainted with them? they are good children kok” said me while looking up a little to be able to look at Saemi's face

Without needing to think long, Saemi resolutely rejected my request by releasing my arms from her body “No, I don't want”

I took a breath, before again persuading Saemi with the adorable tone I made-up “Saem...”.

“Ser, I believe your friends are good kids. But I am not ready, so I beg you not to force me ya” said Saemi who I answered immediately with a fast coil

“Only acquaintance with Saem, later if you can go directly to the room again, yes? I promised them I'd recognize you Saem, huh? plis....” urges me again who is only replied with a frustrated sigh coming out of Saemi's mouth

“No! just no!” Saemi was about to get up from her seat when my hand nimbly blocked her wrist

“Saem-” Haven't had time to finish my sentence yet, there was a shouting voice from downstairs calling my name and Saemi alternately

“Serina....Saemi...this sneak down help mama nyiapin eat malem!”

“Tuh, auntie already called us make it down. Come down” like getting a gap to avoid my insistence, Saemi again moved from her seat and chuckled at my annoyed face

“Saemi...answer first yes dong...” heard my whining, Saemi just shrugged her shoulders lazily while continuing to walk down the stairs.

Because it did not come down, the mother again shouted in an increasingly deafening voice

“Serina...mama count to three if not down-"

“Iya maaa this Serina down..” sahutku annoyed while running down the stairs.
