Still In Love's
Ep. 14. Be With Me

********

The pretty face of Orange seemed to frown confusedly staring at a bottle of strawberry yogurt in her locker.

“Healthy girls look prettier. Enjoy your drink. 😉”

_Silver Class_

Orange reading post it stuck in strawberry yogurt. His eyeballs popped upwards, thinking who was the upperclassman who kept the yogurt in his locker? After all how can anyone open the locker just like that, but the key is always orange carry?

The girl started to panic, she immediately checked if there were any missing items there. But his stuff in the locker ain't nothing missing.

“Guys..”.

Everyone who had come to class that morning immediately turned their heads so Orange called out.

“So who came to class first?” Ask Orange, occasionally seeing the post in his grasp.

“Gue. Why, Ji?” Laura said with a questionable look. Even with another child.

“Nby the way...” Orange hangs its sentence doubtfully.. “You saw no one come in here and open my locker? Or are you open?” He asked a little accusatory, though hesitant.

“Ihh, how come, lo nudu? No, I didn't open the locker. Anyway, right, the key is only one, so there can't be anyone who can open.” Denied Laura sewot, did not accept Orange accused him. “And when I entered there was no one, tuh.”

“I'm just nanya, Lau, not nudu. Yes if you don't know.” Say a little bit of heartless orange, then close the locker and go back to sitting at his chair table.

“Emang why, Ji? Any lost items?” Sambar Ken is curious. His gaze followed the moving orange to sit down.

“Ung...” Orange fell silent in confusion before then saying. “Iya. There's one book I lost.”

“Ahh, itumah forgot, times, Ji. May be missed in the reading garden or at home.” Sahut Langit accompanied by nod of approval from Ken.

“Iya, elo, right, kinda senile, Ji, same item.” Sambar Laura agreed. Orange only snorted, not knowing the words of his friends.

The girl fell silent again guessing who the person who had broken into her locker was. As with the photo a few weeks ago, but it can fit through the sidelines of the locker. Yogurt is not possible to put through it.

*******

Orange with Sky walk down the corridor to the back garden of the school while carrying their respective supply boxes. As usual, they talked about some childish things.

“Ji, later we watch malem, yuk. Tomorrow, right, Sunday.” Take Sky.

“Call.” The orange agreed without thinking. “But I chose the movie, yes.” Orange Proposal.

“Call.” Sahut Langit, one hand then outstretched to embrace the shoulder of Orange, making someone who is playing basketball on the court staring at them do not like.

BUGH….

“Aaakh.” Pekik Jingga felt pain in his shoulder arm once the basketball suddenly hit him, lucky the stock box he was carrying did not fall.

“Woy, be careful, doong.” Blue Tegur upset.

“Yes, sorry accidentally.” Blue Speech moved toward Heaven and Orange without regret. He did do it on purpose, jealous to see another guy touch his girl. He had pointed the ball at the sky, but instead missed the Orange.

“You're okay, right?” Tanya Blue saw Orange rubbing her shoulder arm. His sharp gaze was momentarily locked with an orange look that looked annoyed.

“I’m okay.” Reply Orange held back furiously. While Blue wears a thin cynical smile.

“I want to grab the ball.” Blue speech raises the chin towards the basketball that is just below the orange foot.

The orange view is sticking down. One corner of his lips lifted up cynically and the next second he kicked away the basketball.

“Sorry, I didn't accidentally.” He put on a face pretending to be sorry. This time Blue was made furious, staring at the basketball that was rolling away.

“We excuse you, Brother.” Orange then took Heaven's hand and took him away, leaving Blue who looked at him sharply.

“Udah come. Difficult rival nempel mulu.” Shouted Bian who saw his friend look upset. But the blue did not heed him, he chose to run to pick up the basketball that was still rolling along the corridor.

“Woyy, you got what problem, anyway?” Sky Annoyance when Blue suddenly hit him from behind until his arm with Orange detached. While Blue himself did not care about the cry of Heaven and continued to run small to take the ball.

“Do not be too deket.” Blue Whispers gave a warning as he was about to turn around after successfully picking up the ball and returning to cross paths with Orange.

While the orange itself just silently pretend nothing happened.

********

One week passed since the incident on the roof of the school building, Blue did not come to him again. But that doesn't mean it doesn't bother him. Orange felt the guy was always watching him at any time in any corner he was in school. Ahh, no, not even that guy followed her when she and Sky went to the movies and he kept strawberry yogurt in his locker. Blue always looked at him intimidatedly.

In addition, Blue also often gives a warning message to Orange not to be too close to the Sky and also prohibits her from wearing a skirt too short. But the orange just ignored him.

If you can be honest, Orange is quite disturbed even though he himself also likes Blue. But the way Blue approached it made Orange afraid. That guy is too dictating.

********

“Can sit here?” Blue asked with a Biology book by Campbell super thick in his hand.

“Bby.”

“Other table is still full.”

Obi and Orange answered along with different sentences.

“Thanks.” Sahut Biru and immediately sit next to Orange, until the position of the girl is in the middle.

Orange sighed slowly. Really sucks. Why is Blue anywhere he is? How not, his intention to accompany Obi in the library to study mathematics because the demands of being a peer tutor instead ended up sitting at the same table with Blue.

Jingga herself invited Obi to study in the library after the lesson was completed. But they even accidentally met Blue who was also visiting there.

“You guys why haven't you come home?” Blue makes small talk, deliberately to attract the attention of an orange who refuses to see him.

“It should, anyway, so. But have to study first, he's a tutor my age.” Obi answered pointing at the Orange with his pencil, without distracting him from the formula set before him.

“This is real, no, Ji?” Tanya Obi shifted her book on the Orange.

Blue stared at the two dislikes because their position was very close when Orange gave an explanation, almost stuck.

“I told you not to deket-deket.” Blue muttered barely opening his mouth while pulling the girl's waist to shift until her sitting position slightly away from Obi.

Orange himself was very surprised and immediately raised a protest look at Blue. Luckily Obi was unaware and the library was not getting too many visitors.

“What the fuck, anyway?” The orange whisper. While Blue was just pengedik no matter, the more her hands tightened at the waist of Orange.

“Least.” Pinta Orange with a gesture of moving her lips.

“Nggak.” Blue shook his head unconcerned. The orange rolled his eyes. It was like yelling at the guy, but he remembered this was a library.

“Ji, try lo check.”

“Ohh, yes.” Orange jolted once Obi again thrust his book, he then pinched Blue's hand until finally it could be released from his waist.

But it didn't get there…..

“Ehh, how about if I teach you lo?” Blue Bargain on Obi.

“Eung, what's the name lo?” Tanya later.

“Obi. But don't do it, brother. I am used to the same orange. Orange Section should make a report on my learning development.” Answer and reject Obi.

“Okay, Obi. I'm more experienced than him.” Show Blue to Orange. Then he moved and changed his sitting position until now he was in the middle.

“But –”

“Today let me teach you. Consider me again kind, where is his book.” Sambar Blue quickly, then snatched Obi's book from Orange.

Orang and Obi themselves could do nothing. Both of them just resignedly let Blue who took over teach Obi.

Obi doesn't really matter who teaches him. It's just that this is too sudden. He's not used to Blue. While Jingga just looked at the guy annoyed.

“Ya already, if so I go home first a –”

The word orange hangs when Blue grabs and holds his hand as soon as he leaves.

“Ya wait for your friend to learn until finished first, lah. Kan said should make a progress report.” Blue said with one hand again correcting Obi's work.

“Iya, Ji. Lo temenein I'll be fine, lah.” Obi also disagreed if he had to be left alone with Blue.

“Ish..” Orange tried to jerk Blue's hand, but his grip was quite tight.

“Udah temenin first.” Blue turned his head and put on a triumphant smile, then hid their hands under the table. Down there, his feet also do not stay silent kicking ignorant feet Orange.

Not much can be done to break away from Blue. In the end, he just let the guy hold his hand. It feels pretty comfortable. It feels different though from small often join hands with the Sky.

Orange chooses to read the book that Blue brought while waiting for the boy to teach Obi.

“Oke done.” Blue exclaimed in relief after about an hour had passed. Same with Obi. According to him, it is not bad Blue also taught him because the man taught him an easier way to solve mathematical problems than Orange.

“Thanks, Brother. Pinter also lo turns.” Obi said while putting his books in a bag. Blue snorted amusedly hearing it.

“Yes, Ji, let's go home, I'm anterin.” Take Obi then, Orange immediately nodded in agreement and ready to move, but Blue increasingly tightened his hand grip and held his feet under the table.

“No need, he let me go home with me aja.” Sambar Blue fast. Obi's gaze turned suspicious, looking at the two in turn.

“Jingga, right, the next student exchange student. His teacher said he had to share a lot of experiences with me.” Light Blue lied. The orange just sneers in the heart. It's smart that this guy is looking for an excuse.

While Obi only nodded in understanding, considering Blue was a student exchange student one year ago.

“Yes if so I first, yes, Ji.” Pamit Obi later.

“OK. Take care.” Blue came back quickly.

“But –”

Orange was silent, staring at the unwilling Obi who was standing up and slowly walked away from the library.

“Someone wants me to talk to you. Come.” Blue stood up without letting go of the orange hand from his grasp.

“Cannot. I'm going home, it's late afternoon.” Reject Orange in a slow voice so as not to disturb visitors to the library.

Blue saw the wall clock in the library at a glance. It was already half-five in the afternoon. But he doesn't care.

“Oke, but last. Someone else will see, Brother.” Pinta Orange with a glare.

“Ngak. Ntar you ran away, come.” Blue said, not wanting to be denied, then helped the girl stand up and dragged her out of the library.

********

“What's up, brother? You, right, can talk again tomorrow or via chat, the phone can also.” Orange grouse who saw the day getting late afternoon despite the sunny weather today.

Now they are sitting in long chairs on the roof of the school building. The Blue hand still held the orange hand tightly.

“Cannot. You must have avoided me again. And what did you just say? Through chat? Phone?” Blue stared at the orange full of scorn. “Not all this chat and phone from me you ignored, yes?” Syndirnya.

Orange is silent, cannot resist Blue speech.

“Ya what is it?” Ask a weak orange. His gaze was sticking out on his hand that was grasped by Blue.

“Listen.” Now Blue grasps both hands Orange and allow their sitting position to face.

“You said we can't be friends. Yes, right?” Ask Blue to make sure.

“Yep.” Anglo Orange.

“Ya already if so I also do not want us to cement.” Blue Vocabulary. A little regret and disappointment felt Orange. “That's a waste of time.” Connect Blue.

The orange that heard it scrunched his forehead did not understand. But he was patiently waiting for what Blue would say next.

“Okay, I can’t wait any longer.” Blue took a breath before then spoke back. “I don't want to beat around the bush. I want you to be my girlfriend.”

The orange immediately choked on its own saliva at that very instant. This guy in front of him was truly shocking.

“You're kidding me again?” Tukas Orange is suspicious. Blue grunts annoyed. For more than a year he waited for this moment, the orange reaction even like this.

“Emang I look like kayak again kidding?” Blue asked annoyed.

“Yes where do I know. This is too shocking for me. We haven't known you for a long time, you know.” Said Orange with his plain face, making Blue squash himself.

“After you yourself that I have difficulty decetin and avoid mulu. Try not to avoid, from the first we have been deket and know each other.” Sahut Blue relax.

The orange fluttered, once again unable to resist Blue's utterance.

“So how, you want, no?” Ask Blue again makes Orange slightly jerked.

The girl looked at Blue doubtfully. Confused what to answer. Although he likes Blue, but dating is a foreign thing for him.

“No, deh.” An orange finally answered, her innocent beautiful face looked confused.

Blue itself immediately scowled at the answer of Orange. “Yakiin?” Ask with eyes squeaking.

“Yep.” Orange nods innocently. Blue is really hot. He longed for her to mingle on Orange cheeks.

“But I don't accept rejection.” Blue Vocabulary.

“Ihh, really, so?” Protests Orange accompanied face scowl unacceptable.

“Because I know that you actually like me.” Answer Blue relax.

“Huge confidence in you.” Orange took one hand out of Blue's grasp, then rubbed the man's face full.But Blue hurriedly grabbed and clasped his hand back, afraid that Orange would run away again.

“Udah, deh, do not need prestige, just say. Ntar I picked up a new guy knows taste.” Said Blue mellow. Orange pursed her lips funny.

“Yes have been with others there. Your girl fans, right, a lot, tuh.” Said Orange while throwing his gaze in any direction to avoid the sight of Blue.

“Cieee, jealous, yes?” Blue Ledek again while reaching back to the face of the orange to bring their views together.

“Serah.” Legut Orange lazy. Tired because Blue keeps teasing him.

“Yes already, if so I inaugurate you as my girlfriend starting today.” Blue speech is relaxed, making Orange round his eyes wide, even his mouth gaping.

“Shuut. I don't want rejection.” Blue quickly silenced the mouth of the orange before blurting out a protest sentence by placing one of her index fingers on the girl's reddish lips.

“Now you're my girlfriend.” Obviously once again.

“Mana can like that.” Sambar Orange protest.

“Can.” Sahut Blue. “Nothing can't make me.” Imbabuhnya, then bring his face to the neck of the orange until his lips touch the neck of the girl.

What Blue did was successfully make the body of Orange stiffen.

“K-kak want what?”

His body was suddenly agitated and his heart was racing.

“Tag.” Blue murmur, then the suction and small teeth Orange began to feel Orange. His body was squeezing as if it was turning into jelly, unable to put up a fight.

The orange fluttered, as much as possible holding his breath. There was not much he could do, Orange just let Blue give hickey around his neck.

Blue pulls away. She smiled as she looked at the love bite on her orange neck. They looked at her, and Blue could see her girl who had a tense face with my eyes.

“Be with me, Orange.”.

Blue stretched out both hands, grabbed the orange face and stroked it gently. Orange was still silent with his shock. It was the first time a man kissed her.

“Jingga. Denger...” Blue was silent for a moment before then continuing his speech. “For 17 years I have lived and since I first met you one year ago, only you managed to attract my attention, only you can make me fall in love.”

The orange was still shaking, trying to neutralize his heart that was pounding incoherently since the kiss.

“Although we are not too close. But I know you pretty much.” Continue Blue. Her voice was softly soothing. While Jingga herself scrunched her forehead full of questions.

“You don't have to be surprised I know where and how.” Blue seems to be able to guess the contents of the head of orange. “What you should know is that I love you. I'm sorry for my annoying attitude lately. But that's because I want you to pay attention to me.” Clearly then, his gaze was very serious along with his words.

“I feel in love with you at first sight, Orange..” Add Blue.

“T-but –” Orange flutter, he was really surprised and confused what to say.

“I know you are surprised and confused.” Blue Sela. “But I can be sure of your feelings. Because I know, you've fallen in love with me.”

Orange grunting. What Blue says is true. But Orange also did not expect this to happen so soon.

“Give me a moment.” Pinta Orange. Blue quickly shook.

“Ngak. You will run away from me again. I told you I could be sure of your feelings. We're dating now. Point. I also signed you.” Blue indicates a red mark on the neck of the orange.

The girl herself just put on a puzzled face full of questions and touched her neck without knowing what was there, making Blue smile amused and anxious at once. The girl is really innocent.

“Emang on my neck what is it?” Tanya Orange took the phone from her pocket to look in the mirror. But Blue immediately held him back.

“Udah, see it at home.” Blue snatched the orange phone and put it back in his uniform pocket. Orange just whimpering.

Blue then grabbed one orange hand and grasped it.

“So, we're dating now?” The man kissed the back of his hand, then reunited his gaze with the girl who was stunned by his unexpected attitude. “Hem?”

For a few seconds, the orange was silent. He was confused as to what to answer.

“Jingga..”.

Blue impatiently, continued to stare at Orange waiting for answers.

“Forced.” Answer the orange finally.

“Ihh, how come?” Blue looking at amused orange.

The orange rolled his eyes lazily. “Kan you yourself who mean and say you do not want to be rejected.”

Smile expands on Blue's face as soon as he hears Orange's answer, even with his eyes that also sparkle.

“Still.” The blue hugged the orange tightly.

“But this is not romantic.” The orange pushes the Blue body so that distance is created between them. Blue himself frowned not understanding.

“I think, this is the least romantic way to date. You know, no, this is my first experience?” Dengus Orange.

Blue chuckled amusedly and again grabbed the girl's body for her to hug.

“This is also the first for me.” Say Blue, then gently kiss the top of the head of Orange.

The girl raised her head to find her gaze with Blue. “You're no longer lying, are you?”

Blue simply shook her head slowly without letting go of the happy smiles from both corners of her lips.

“Or do you want me to repeat that again?” Ask Blue.

“Ngo back?” Ask Orange with one eyebrow raised.

Blue nodded. “Romantic love confession, in front of many people with a bouquet of flowers and chocolates in my hand?”

“Is. I must have directly moved school abroad if you do mein it.” Orange smacks softly Blue chest. The guy himself just chuckled a little and tightened his embrace.
