The Love I Don't Miss
Part 115 (The Enlightening Orange Ball! )

The body warm-up session is over. And now 20 students are present in divided into two groups when it comes to dribbling and in the continued by inserting basketball into the ring.

The women's group was requested by Mr. Faiz to march first. While groups of men can relax first around the field. No one leaves the basketball court.

Some sit back and relax on the edge. Of course their goal was to see the action of the beautiful female disciples. Because it can not be denied if the movement - gerik girls in the sports area is very attractive to the eyes of male students.

Either to admire, or to laugh if it does not comply with the rules that have been made absolutely. Because not all girls like sports hours in school. So they are often considered to be just rioting in those subjects by male students.

There are also those who play other basketball around the other ring. Of course, it is done by those who do have a hobby of playing basketball. Or even the core team of basketball sports formed by the school.

One of them is Malvino Lubis, the chairman of class X-3, who entered Alexander International School through a non-academic achievement track.

He is included in the ranks of the core team of basketball players, and also the core team of futsal players. In addition, his name is also recorded as a swimming competition team between schools. But never participated in the inter-school swimming competition. Because he was only three months at that school. And at the moment only focus on training with the core team. The school race will be held next month.

His distinctive handsome face, and also in combination with his fair yellow skin, as well as his ever-groomed black hair, was enough to perfect his large tall body.

The clear body posture illustrates if he is an Atlit. Like hot - heat, lifting heavy loads and also actively moving in the pool.

But to join with other friends while playing basketball in the ring next door must fail. When Mr. Faiz called his name to keep the basketball hoop pole used for practice.

More precisely he was tasked to take the ball - a ball that had just been thrown by girls.

Cannot answer in any other word, other than... "Ready, Sir!" vino replied approaching the ring that was ready to be targeted throwing a girl's ball.

Especially girls who can't play basketball. They will only throw as they can, accompanied by a shout that sometimes does not match the result. Because obviously they can not put the ball into the ring perfectly, despite already shouting in such a way.

As a result the task of the class leader will be more tiring because of the actions of such female students. Because there is a ball will roll or bounce in any direction.

The nuances of sports hours at Alexander International School are really visible in the basketball court area that is quite spacious. The boisterous voice of girls who complain of heat and motion is no less enliven the field. So they queue at the part of the field that is covered with large trees.

The international school has several types of fields for its students. One is a futsal court, and two volleyball courts are adjoining. All kinds of fields are lined up. And if the net is loose, it will be a field that is large enough and wide.

Being in third position as a ball thrower in order based on Absence numbers, Clarice's heart beats faster than ever. Not just because it would throw a basketball in front of the boys watching.

But what made Clarice's heart seem to want to jump was the presence of the class leader near the ring pole that she had not expected before.

Miss Clarice is a nickname pinned by all employees of Adhitama Group. The miss will dribble closer to the ring, then jump to insert the ball with precision.

Haven't touched the ball yet, but the girl is sure to fail. Then the student of his tribe will laugh a little at his stupid actions. Clarice knew very well, Vino was an easy man to smile kindly and laugh at. Even though he never laughed with her. A man never shows his angry side. But always the smile and smile that he showed to everyone.

That's a little bit of what Miss Clarice had in mind.

But Clarice is not alone. Because only a few female students in Clarice's class can play basketball. The rest are just like him. Dribbles alone the ball often moves irregularly.

The students who were in the first row started to advance forward. Take one of the balls from the three balls that are prepared for one child. This means that one child gets three chances to put the ball into the ring. The more balls that enter the value will be better.

The girl started dribbling, and managed to score 2 scores in. The girl failed at the second chance. And as Clarice had guessed before, if Vino would reflexively smile half laughs, when seeing someone fail in entering the ball.

Not laughing at the thrower's failure. But the man laughed at the way the girls were strangers to basketball, then moved in a way that he thought was strange and tickled his stomach. That was because he could see very clearly, which one happened to score, and which one actually managed to score.

Although there were no ridicule sentences, it would still look embarrassing to Clarice. Because he acts in the field of sports very badly, at a time he admires is an Athlet.

Then what will he be?

Will he get three laughs of a Malvino Lubis?

Oh no! don't make! It will make him die of lice and ingrained shame!

But what should he do? he can't play basketball at all. He's not the brother, Galen. Who is smart enough to play basketball despite just sitting in the 7th grade Junior High School in the building next door.

Apart from Clarice's messy daydreams, the next student is Lia, or Amalia Jasmine who is in the absentee of the two daughters. The girl failed at the first opportunity, and succeeded at the second.

"Last chance!" exclaim Mr. Faiz stood with an attendance sheet to write down the grades of the students.

Lia seemed to let out a long breath. He seemed more nervous than he had first tried. Maybe worried that Vino will again laugh without a sound because he laughed at his action at the first opportunity earlier.

Lia was back on dribble for the third time. Then start to move forward slowly. The girl looks so stiff.

Clarice seemed to be looking at herself who was not much different from Lia. Or maybe he's even worse than Lia?

' It's okay, Cla! There are no perfect people on this earth. He can play basketball, but you have to be sure he'll be a real shame if he dances like you and your friends! At the most he would only be a safety guard without being able to split or jump and spin in the air like you! '

Clarice tried to encourage herself, by trying to explore the impossibilities that Vino could.

Clarice's eyes scanned around, looking at anyone who noticed the group of women who were hunting for scores.

And shit, damn it! He thought Arsen was with friends who were playing basketball in the ring next door, like his best friend, Naufal. It turned out that the young man was sitting cross-legged on the iron chair.

And when he looked around and found the young man, the man whom Cla thought was too confident was aware that he was observing around.

Complete was already the man who would definitely laugh at his failure that morning.

' Can't he play basketball? '

Clarice grumbled in the heart. He tilted to the end of his lips, looking dejectedly at Arsen. But the young man smiled at her very sweetly, lifting up one arm to punch the air in front of her face. As if giving him spirit.

Sure the man the land crocodile was giving him spirit?

' Bulshit! '

Among Clarice's daydreams, Lia has now jumped a little and thrown a basketball into the air. And what happened was... It failed!

The ball with a distinctive orange or orange color is only about the ring circle, without successfully scoring to add value. It is clear that Lia was very disappointed with what he produced that morning, which is 1 score. But at least the egg broke in Lia's value column.

"Brighta Clarice Agasta!" exclaimed Mr. Faiz, who made Clarice's heart feel like it was being pumped so violently, and hit a heavy object that hit her chest. This made the girl even more nervous.

Clarice stepped closer to the ball - the ball that had just been rearranged by Vino, she picked up one ball and looked at it fretfully. Then started staring at the high ring there.

Amidst Clarice's nervousness about dribbling, there was the figure of a young man who smiled obliquely hearing Mr. Faiz mentions Clarice's full name. He did not have to bother to find a book of attendance that somehow he had to find the book.

He was Arsen, the young man only needed to remember what Clarice's full name was. And he interpreted Clarice's name as Light. Then he looked up, looking up at the sky reflecting the Sun's light. To make it easier for him to remember who Clarice's full name is.

That way he will easily find the girl's mobile number in a special chat group class X-3. In accordance with the words spoken by Lia, if Cla does not use the name Clarice in his account.

Indeed Arsen can not wait to be able to pick up the phone stored in the locker. The world is really good to him.

While Clarice has now taken a shift. He listened carefully to the direction of the sports teacher who taught himself how to hold the ball well and correctly. To make it easier when dribbling and directing the ball in the ring.

One he avoided for now. That is looking at Vino who is standing in his position in charge of taking the ball.

Dug...

The round orange sound hit the floor of the basketball court, and then bounced back to touch Clarice's palm. Wanting to bring the ball forward, but very unlucky because Clarice concentration was distracted because he looked at the class leader who had originally squatted suddenly stood up.

So when he was about to throw the ball, his hand was not in sync with his eyes, until the ball was thrown in any direction. And not even touching the ring at all.

Until Clarice suddenly felt like falling and sinking into the floor of the field, when her ears clearly heard the voice of the class leader chuckled little. Not to mention the voices of Clarice's friends who regret Clarice's actions.

In addition to Vino who chuckled without a sound, there was also Arsen who joined in smiling funny from where he sat. The young man seemed very enthusiastic following Clarice's movements.

"Second chance!" said Mr. Faiz asks Cla to take his second ball.

With mixed feelings between annoyance, and hatred for this sport, he also felt ashamed of Vino, and surely the young man in the chair was also laughing at him. It's just that he didn't want to see that guy.

With a heavy sigh, Cla took back one orange ball with a black line that formed that particular pattern. Back to the starting position. Facing the ring pole, from a distance of several meters. Get ready for a second dribble.

"You can do it, Cla!" hanna exclaimed from the line back there.  The row in the shade.

Hanna, a girl with a height of 159 cm at the age of just 16 years was ranked number seven. Even so the girl was not worried, much different from Clarice. Because the straight black-haired girl was one of the girls' basketball teams at her school. She is also one of the students who entered through the path of non-academic achievement.

That is as a women's basketball player, and a women's volleyball player. Hanna's name is also listed as one of the players who was contracted by one of the big companies in the Capital to play in a volleyball match known as Proliga.

It is said that he became the youngest member on his team. And it makes the school more interested to explore the talent of Hanna to make the good name of the school in the inter-school competition that is always held every year.

At just 16 years old, Hanna is a great kid. Because he can get his own pocket money from the results of his Volleyball contract. It was different from the other friends at school. Of which 80% rely solely on the gifts of their wealthy parents.

No exception 16-year-old girl who is now starting to do a second dribble approaching the ring. Although he was very pessimistic if Miss Orange was going to enter the ring, he still had to herd it, in the hope of a value. Although the egg in the name column would not be easy to break.

"One...Two..Ti's...Ga!" exclaim Mr. Faiz gave Clarice the code to throw the ball in her hand and point it at the ring.

But again - again the ball missed, and just fell under the ring, after hitting the pole ring. And unfortunately after bouncing on the floor, the ball was actually thrown into the face of Vino who stood not far from the pole ring.

All seemed to gawk when the ball was pointed at Vino's face. But Vino who is familiar with the ball, swiftly deflected the ball by pushing the orange ball away from his face. Until it fell on the floor.

You know what Clarice's pretty face looked like when it all happened. Besides being embarrassed, he also panicked half to death. He would feel very guilty if until the ball really hit the handsome face of Vino who was getting brighter by the morning sunlight, although sweat began to be seen on the face of his handsome.

Clarice fell silent and was fixated on perverting. Staring at the orange ball that is now rolling towards the edge of the basketball court. And a few steps behind the ball, there is Vino who chases the ball with a quick run.

"Last chance!" exclaim Mr. Faiz. "Don't fail Clarice!" said Mr. Faiz was standing next to him.

"It's very difficult, sir!"

"You can do!" sure Mr. Faiz.

And Clarice took a deep breath, and let her slow down and relaxed.

"I can do!" sure Clarice followed Mr. Faiz.

Highlight his eyes began to be sure staring at the ring hanging with a net - a web that tufts.

"One..two.." said Mr. Faiz gave the code.
