Sometimes Friends are the Enemy
Part 10's. Baffled

Then, the teacher returned to the students who were playing volleyball and asked one of the students who was assigned to submit himself to calculate the score before he was finally sidetracked by Toni.

"Hows it? How much is the score of each group? Ask the teacher.

"This sir." Reply to the student while handing over a board that reads each score.

The teacher smiled seeing the results of the two groups were equally strong. The match was a series. So that he could conclude that all the students who competed had escaped. Some will be backup players. But he will continue to train her.

After that, he went to the female students who were playing badminton, and table tennis. He saw, none of them were serious about playing. There is no score, and no one is superior.

Then he moved on to the students playing takraw football and saw them playing so seriously, that the shirts they wore were soaked in sweat.

Twenty minutes before the end of the lesson, the teacher had asked all the students to stop playing and told them to keep all their sports equipment. Then he gave a little encouragement, especially for students who play volleyball. He said,

"There will soon be an inter-school match at the district level. But just a volleyball game. That's why I'm gathering you here. The principal asked that you be trained, and re-selected. You all have already escaped in the early stages. You notice your game is pretty good. Later, at certain hours, you will pair with students from other classes. Prepare yourself and mentally. Also your energy."

Then he continued, again,

"You, Albert! Write down the names of your groups, and then leave the same father in the office.

Now, you can disperse and rest." The teacher said and left.

After the teacher left them, and the break bell rang, Tuti and Linda quickly approached Betty who was changing clothes. They speak in haste, though,

"Bett, make?" Asked both.

"What?"

"forget? Or pretend to forget?" Linda.

"Well, how the hell? Eat dong. You promised to buy us a meal in the cafeteria for a week." Connect Tuti.

"What's? Aweek? Not wrong? I could go bankrupt dong. Am I given more pocket money than my grandmother? Do you know what my grandmother is?"

"We know! Indeed why? That's none of our business. That's out of the deal. Now, do you want to buy us or bully?" Ask Linda.

Betty was silent for a moment. Then Tuti and Linda said again,

"Hey! Oi!

Don't think too late."

"The break has been over for a few minutes. We need time to chew and digest the food later. So, don't be long. Go hunted!" Urge Tuti.

So without waiting again, Linda and Tuti immediately pulled Betty's hand towards the cafeteria and immediately chose the place closest to the steleng glass where various foods were served. Then they quickly pick out the food they like, as well as the fry. They also eat food until they are full. Not with Betty. He was afraid to take food, for fear that his money would not pay enough.

And that is how it ends. Even though he didn't eat anything, the money was still not enough. Even he was forced to owe to the canteen mother, because Tuti and Linda spent a lot of food.

Fatigue during exercise, make their stomach sagging because of running out of energy. So that their stomach can now accommodate large amounts of food.

Betty returned to class with a sad face. How not? His pocket money for three days, ran out in an instant. Even indebted. Things that never happened. Forced he would have to take his allowance for the next three days, to spend tomorrow, and pay the debt.

He was not out of thought and confused until when it would continue. And how he will fill the wide mouths of his two friends next.

So, from the time the lesson begins to finish, he is always moody, lethargic, and not concerned with the subjects. All he thought about was how to get extra pocket money from his grandmother. Because to outsmart his grandmother about money, is not an easy thing. And if he asks directly to his parents who work as a TKI, it is also not easy. They will ask what the money is for. And why didn't she ask from her grandmother, while everything was handed over to her grandmother. And it was her grandmother who was responsible to Betty until Betty's parents' second employment contract ran out and they were able to return home.

That afternoon, her grandmother went to the home of one of the residents where her son had just returned from abroad. He was a young man who was not so handsome but had a lot of money. He works on a cruise, on a cruise ship as a chef.

It took a few years for him so that he could return to his hometown to give up longing. Because of all his time and life, he spent in the middle of the ocean. From one country to another.

Meet and interact with various kinds of people between nations, must be a very fun and valuable thing to tell to the neighbors who come to his house to visit because of curiosity.

The young man had built a large house for his parents, as a result of his hard work. He also brought a typical ole-ole from several countries he visited and he shared it with relatives, as well as close neighbors, including his grandmother Betty.

Betty's grandmother was so amazed and captivated by every experience the young man shared. And suddenly, he was reminded of a very good film and remembered from time to time, the film 'Titanic.'

He imagines himself there and starts hallucinating with the handsome actor from the film. He was also busy smiling to himself due to his turbulent hallucinations. It was as if it didn't connect with what the young man was saying. Because the young man told me about his experience cooking on a cruise ship along with other great chefs from different countries.

Then seeing the strangeness of his attitude, one of the middle-aged women from the group, patted her grandmother Betty on the shoulder and surprised her. He said,

"Hey, why are you smiling like crazy?

Mmm.. must be imagining the non-no. Aye right?

Come ngaku!"

"Didih... what the hell? Don't like to make it up!"

"Lho! It's true, isn't it? Why are you smiling to yourself? No one is funny here."

"There!"

"What?"

"You know! Take care of your own business!"

Then there was a middle-aged man, who was none other than the young man's father, about to try to stop the debate. He said,

"Hey, hey, hey!

No, don't fight!

These mothers are old. Isn't it shame, fighting in front of young people?"

"Know this! Betty's grandmother!" Said the middle-aged woman.

"Lho. How me? You dong!"

"Hey, already! It's already!

Drink the tea first. The mump is still warm. Let your heads cool." Said the young man again.

"Nih parents! Strangely not playing. Can hot drinks make your head cold? Supposedly, drink cold to cool the head.

Son, how's your father? The older it gets." Said the middle-aged woman.

"Mom, that's just kidding. Yeah, I'll get you a cold drink, yeah." The young man was friendly.

"Well, that's dong. Take your son, Maribet!" Connect grandma Betty.

Maribet was the father of the young man.
