Since The Fall Of Maglindo
Chapter 07 part IV: The Greatest Obstacle and Collapse of the Youth Dream

“Follow me.”

Despite being supported by many troops, Sherly still did not allow a single crack to be created for me to escape.

And according to what he said, I walked after him from behind, while I was also followed by dozens of people who were on standby to catch me. Luckily there was Ryuga walking parallel to me, so it was as if everyone's look of disgust had disappeared as a result of his existence.

I asked him why he was smiling, the answer was just a little funny. It really keeps me from thinking, when it seems like he doesn't know what's going on. And my guess was proven when he asked about all this, but I answered him anyway, although not in detail, only he smiled instead. Until returning to the room owned by Mr. December, Ryuga's smile still shines brightly illuminate my gloom.

But before it actually arrives, Ryuga gets closer to Sherly because he might want to say something.

“Let me take care of Crayon only,” he said.

“Ta-but ...”

I never thought that Sherly could lose control of her words. After all, it was something new and fresh to remember.

“Let me alone, you who are now only carried away by emotions.”

“Good.”

The people behind me said “Romantis” when they both spoke. So from there, it can be concluded that they are lovers. Regardless, Sherly always followed Ryuga's words, so I thought they were already dating.

Then as I turned back to face forward, I was greeted with a stern, disgusted, condescending look, all the things that depicted me in Sherly's eyes, as I entered the door that Ryuga had previously entered.

Because this is not the first time, so I chose to sit down immediately, while Ryuga was busy closing the door.

Here it smokes as usual, because the air vents are also not much, so the smoke seems to accumulate to form clouds. Then when Ryuga occupies the seat beside me, I can clearly see the face of Mr. December who looks at me with a smile and a little wonder.

“I pull my words.”

“Which one, Sir?”

“You look like your father, really similar until it makes me laugh.”

I could only scratch my head to see the man in front of me talking, accompanied by a small laugh mocking me with a joking spice. While Ryuga was strange, as usual he smiled, no idea what was in his head.

“So, why are you here? I'm not sure if you've got her apology.”

“This is just one way that I can get an apology, also includes freedom in the application of ways.”

Mr. December held his forehead after hearing it, however, it was a sneaky way. But I don't think it's against my punishment, because Mr. December can only breathe a sigh of resignation.

Then he picked up his cell phone lying on the table. When lifted, what appeared from here was only the back of it that was plain black. I don't know why, but he started showing me his phone screen. All I saw was myself, where I was raising my hand in the classroom that I had previously done.

About that, it seems like my childhood dream will be wiped out by this incident. How not, there are many photos of me from various points of view that are displayed on the front page where it can make anyone know, and in the end will also follow away from me.

With fate, I returned the phone to the person in front of me.

“How did you respond?” ask Mr. December.

He laughed, as did Ryuga, just not so loud that it seemed to be restrained. Their faces are very satisfied now, when they should be sad because they are concerned about my condition. As for me, I can only give up on what happened.

To be seen from anywhere, my life is completely over. My goal is to get 10 friends is still not realized, and now I am shunned by many people, even my friends who can now stay away from me later. So to conclude, this is one of the worst days I've ever had. Though only 2 or 3 days, have made a case that can not be said to be playful, indeed from the beginning I was impossible to get what I wanted. If it is like that, I just walk towards hell through the pseudo land of heaven. There was no hope other than luck, I mean, even if I chose to change schools now, it felt like I would end up having the same fate. All I can do is regret it, it should go straight home? No, not necessarily it'll keep me away from Sherly. In the days that followed when I visited again I could have been caught with a worse situation.

That woman, Sherly, she's so, so annoying, I hate her. Maybe sometime I will choose to take revenge, so that both can feel what is called despair. Apart from that, he was too meddling, even though it was only an outsider.

My head wants to explode now. Therefore, I laid him on the table while lamenting fate, Ryuga had several times rubbed my back, even though there was no benefit.

I finally re-enforced my seat. While all I got was Mr. December who stood sipping his cigarette.

“Because it's done, you can go.”

“I want to be here for a while, outside it seems still dangerous.”

“Ya, alright.” Mr. December walks towards the door, before until he says, “Don't forget to close the door again when you guys come out later.”

When the door Mr. December was about to open, there I could clearly see Sherly's face upset with me. But I ignored him when Ryuga suddenly patted me on the shoulder.

“What?”

“When will you join the Volunteer Club?”

I thought he would talk about the same topic again. I did say I would join, but not now when the situation is chaotic. After all there are some things I need to prepare for it, so it is not arbitrary to fill out the registration form just like that.

“I told you a few more days.”

“When exactly?”

“Instead of questioning that, I'm not sure Sherly would agree if I joined your club, considering she's also one of the members.”

“If you're worried about that, I can handle it for you.”

I don't understand what he means “resolving” here, because it could lead to some understanding. It's just that I believe that if he can do it, Ryuga's power is huge, it's just hidden.
