The first break arrived. Vino and Andi are in the cafeteria. Both of them try to keep Iyan who chose to go to school. They were determined not to stay silent if they heard that there was a student who insinuated about Iyan's father. Considering the guy's father was involved in a serious case.
"We should stay in class" Iyan said.
"Udah, Yan. You better focus on living. It's the same way you're different" said Vino.
Iyan smiled calmly. "Thanks yes, Vin. If not you, I might prefer to quit school" he said.
"Keep separate from us? Not really, Yan." Andi embraces the familiar shoulder of Iyan.
"Yes, so I'm still in school" Iyan responded.
Shortly thereafter, Ranti arrived. Vino's forehead wrinkled when not seeing Elena with him.
"Well, what's it yourself? Where's elena?" ask Iyan.
"He doesn't want to come. He said he no longer wanted to meet men," replied Ranti. He is clearly manipulating the truth.
"Elena did that?" Andi.
Ranti then replied with a nod. "Yes, Elena just wants to meet me. He seems to be focusing on learning. It has entered a repeat day," he explained while sitting next to Vino. Andi emptied the chair beside her.
"Well, sit there" Andi said.
Ranti turned the eyeballs off guard. "It's okay sometimes, right? We've been sitting next door almost every day," he said as he glanced at Vino. The guy seemed to show a serious look on his face. While his hands were busy stirring drinks with straws.
"Is it true Elena doesn't want to see us again?" ask Vino.
"Yes, he's really mean if he really talks that." Even though it was right at his house yesterday we did nothing wrong," said Iyan who felt disappointed in Elena.
"Already, justin. That's not a distraction for us, is it? For me the important thing is that Ranti Calista is always there," said Andi while staring fixedly at Ranti.
"Gee! Amused I see it," Iyan criticized.
Vino threw away his face. "You can't be so affectionate not in front of us?" hatchlings.
"Don't you, Di!" Ranti who was upset, immediately hit Andi's shoulder. Admonish her boyfriend to stop flirting in public.
Vino grunted violently. He felt that there was something lacking when Elena was not around. Looks like the girl really decided to break the friendship rope with Vino.
'Damn it! Why do I care about him? Some baperan girls like Elena are not my type, ' Inner Vino in heart. He immediately threw away all his worries about Elena's absence.
...***...
The bell of the sign went home. Ranti looks out of class first.
"Gue go first, El!" exclaim Ranti. He'll be gone soon.
Elena just nodded. He seemed to casually put books and stationery into the bag.
"Hey!" the voice of a man greeting. He is Rendi. Elena was quite familiar with him. Given that Rendi is also one of the outstanding students in the academic field. Elena and Rendi often go together to participate in the Olympics.
"Eh, Ren." Elena said hello.
"Gue saw today you didn't join Vino and his friends in the cafeteria" Rendi said.
"Gue sure wasn't lazy. Because you want to focus on learning. I knew you wouldn't let me take over the general champion position at school. Aye?" guess Rendi.
"That's it, too" Elena replied. He and Rendi chuckled. Although they are rivals in achieving academic achievement, the two have never fought seriously. Their competition is arguably so healthy.
"What's the fuck you want?" ask Elena. Surprised by the sudden purpose of Rendi meeting him.
"It's okay. I just want to know how hard you learn to repeat the end of this semester," replied Rendi quibbled. He actually secretly liked Elena. But until now his relationship with the girl is so-so. There's no progress at all. Plus Rendi also knows that girls like Elena are not interested in dating. He knew the girl just wanted to focus on learning. As a clever student, Rendi could certainly understand.
"I think I should be careful." Elena responded.
"Gue will try to lose you this semester," said Rendi while nudging Elena with a shoulder.
"Sorry, Ren. Looks like this semester I will still be a general champion," said Elena did not want to lose.
"Mending this semester! I have always been the overall champion. People at school are tired of seeing you keep taking the common champion trophy." Rendi spoke while walking in line with Elena.
"Gue is not bored. You have to accept the fact that I'm smarter than you" added Elena. Intends kidding. If with Rendi, the topic of their discussion is lessons and competition.
"Diddeliver! Very arrogant." Rendi ruffled the top of Elena's hair. The two chuckle together. They look so familiar.
From behind, there was Vino watching. He leaned against the wall with a sullen face. Both of his hands were folded on his chest.
Vino tried to ignore Elena. Like the girl ignored him. But somehow Vino can't. Elena's figure was like a magnet that always made her heart and eyes curious. Until the familiarity of Elena and Rendi managed to see Vino. Surprisingly he felt annoyed by the closeness of Elena and Rendi.
"The vin! Let's practice!" exclaim Galih. One of Vino's teammates on the basketball team. He took Vino to the field.
Vino's daydreams instantly crumbled. He threw away all thoughts from Elena and chose to practice.
Two hours later. Vino has finished basketball practice. He and his team were forced to train because before the holidays there would be inter-school basketball games.
Vino is in the dressing room. Since then he was standing in front of a locker while struggling with a cell phone.
Vino receives a lot of messages from girls. They all invited him to meet.
"Where else, Vin?" said Candra who suddenly approached. He can see a row of messages on Vino's phone screen.
Vino quiet. He just gritted. "Hold me," he said, handing Candra the phone over. His basketball teammate was in line.
"Lo why? Very tangled face lo," said Candra.
"My clothes" said Vino.
"Tumbens. Usually out of girl training. Are all the girls in school already stuck? I'm bored of gini." Candra bobbing head.
Simultaneously, there was a message that had just entered Vino's phone. Candra who holds the phone, checks it straight away.
"From Elena," said Candra.
Vino's pupils dilated. He immediately took his phone from Candra. Then open the message from Elena.
'My jacket is back. Take it in the guard area Mr. Adi.' That's how Elena's message sounded. The message was accompanied by a photo of Vino's jacket that Elena had borrowed yesterday.
Vino clucked back. Because Elena's message didn't match her expectations.
