The Love I Don't Miss
Part 154 (School Rankings )
A week has passed since the end of the midterms at Alexander International School. All grades have been recorded in the midterm report of each student.
All students attend a special school for today. Because they certainly want to know, they are ranked to what in their respective classes and also at the school level.
One of them was X-3 class where that day all of his students, totaling 20 students, were present all. None were absent.
Class ranking announcement has been announced. And the special report of the midterms has been distributed one by one to be signed by the student guardians and collected again tomorrow.
In every struggle carried out together by 20 students, there will definitely be a champion 1 and there will definitely be someone who gets the last number, aka 20.
For Clarice and her gang mates, it doesn't matter if you don't win 1, which is important to get in the top 10. And not the last 5.
And now the amount of value he got was in his grasp. With a rating of 7, Cla felt less good indeed. However, this ranking will be used as a guideline to get better grades in the first semester.
And now, all students certainly can't wait to be able to see what rank they are at the school level. No exception Clarice and friends.
The first break bell has rung, and all scatter towards the scattered mading-mading. To see the medal they managed to achieve at the school level.
But as expected, all the mading was attacked by a lot of students who could not wait to see the value of each.
Cla and the genk also stared at the mading in the lobby with a tired and lazy look to join the tiled with others. Just looking at it has made them lazy to join the fight for a place.
"You just wait here, let me take the pictures!" arsen said to Clarice who was standing next to him.
They were all still standing on the last and third steps. No one has yet decided to approach the mading. Because it will be very lazy if you have to huddle with many students from various levels. Although each level is in a different mading box.
"Well! good idea, Sen!" sahut Naufal who heard Arsen's words.
"It's only Cla I'm gonna send her a picture!" arsen stuck his tongue out at Naufal who was standing in front of him.
"Curtain! fuck you!" naufal Gerrick.
"Come on!" Arsen pushed Naufal's shoulder. "Don't be the woman who's just waiting here!" invite Arsen to Naufal to mingle in the mading. Take a photo of the value rating sheet.
"Douh.. malasnya mingle with them!" grumble Naufal again.
"Alright, come!" force Arsen. "You must be curious too, right? what grade are you in school?" ask Arsen. "You're ranked 4th in class."
"Yes!"
Eventually the two young men mingled with the others. Alternately take class 10 level photos that are on the leftmost mading. Leaving Hanna and Cla standing on the edge of the lowest staircase. Waiting for Arsen and Naufal who were hunting for a photo of the name line.
"Not curious about your grades?" someone's voice suddenly sounded from behind Clarice.
"That! Just waiting for them, it's easier!" cla turned to the left side.
Where Vino suddenly appeared behind. I don't know where it was before. The athlete suddenly appears behind Cla who is leaning against the ladder fence.
Although there was a strange hissing that always scoured the recesses of the heart every sound of Vino was heard in the ears. Still, he must be good at pretending if he idolizes the young man. And be mediocre.
"They're both special, aren't they?" vino Gumam.
"Why?" clarice asked, frowning.
"Like her they both like you in their own way!" vino's words make Cla take a longer breath and avoid it rough.
"Where are you from?" ask Cla later.
"I'm a man too. I know what they look like!" vino put his shoulder out.
"So you know!" cla said a little ketus.
Vino smiled smirk. Mocking Clarice's innocence.
"I don't know, are you really innocent or what?" said Vino. "Why can't read men's guts" he added.
"Hey! Don't be so reckless when you mock!" reply Clarice again with a sniff. "You better go there! let's not be girls like me and Hanna!"
But the athlete again just chuckled a little while shaking his head slowly. Then nodded slowly, and immediately stepped closer to Arsen and Naufal who were still taking a few more photos.
' If you are sensitive and claim to be able to read their gels, can you not read my gels? '
Inner Clarice in the heart.
Who would have thought that the conversation of Vino and Clarice was actually listened to well by Hanna who was standing in front of Clarice. Despite not looking back and not chiming in, Hanna could hear clearly. And the girl could only take a slow breath and hold it short. Neutralize the self that I don't know.

"I sent it to your WA, Cla!" arsen approached Cla and Hanna.
"Thanks!" clarice replied, taking out her phone, which she did in silent mode while at school.
"Yo'i!" replied Arsen who immediately stood beside Clarice.
"Me?" hanna asked Arsen.
"I sent it, Han!" sahut Naufal who appeared beside Hanna.
"Okay, Thanks, Naufal!" hanna smiled wryly.
"We'd better check in the park, how!" Cla gave me an idea.
"Kneel!" sahut Hanna's.
And all began to walk towards the exit that led to the back yard of the school. Where a large garden with several gazebos and chairs at once the table is scattered there.
"Vino's not coming?" tanya Arsen glanced at Vino who was still taking photos. The difference is that Vino took a photo on the mading that contains the value of class XI.
"No way!" clarice. "Look!" Cla pointed in the back direction.
On the stairs, a girl came down who was known to them all as the angel of Vino. The girl in the same uniform as the four children, the difference is using a yellow bet on her left arm, which is none other than Neha. Student class XI-IPA 3.
"Geez! it's impossible to come with us if this is how!" arsen.
"Yes, come on!" sahut Hanna invites everyone to step back.
***
Sitting four of them in empty chairs facing each other at a rectangular table under a large tree, the four children began to research and search for each other's names.
Cla exclaimed when he found out he was ranked 21st out of a total of approximately 120 students of class X.
"Yeah, 21! not too bad!" clarice exclaimed with pleasure. "Daddy will remain proud of this result."
"I'm 25!" sahut Arsenic. "Not too bad either!" he continued to exclaim with pleasure.
"10!" sahut Naufal saw his name ranked 10th.
"Dadid! You have always been superior since we were in Junior!" clarice praised Naufal.
Naufal only smiled faintly in response to Clarice's praise. He was used to being praised for his cleverness by Clarice.
"What rank are you, Han?"
"41!" hanna replied smiling wryly looking at her rank far below her friends.
"No problem." said Clarice embracing Hanna's shoulder. "Important not to rank 100!" cla continued to encourage Hanna who they all know if the girl is more dominant in the world of sports and creativity than any subject.
"Cla's right! you are so good!" sahut Arsen is encouraging.
"You have been very accomplished in non-academic fields, if you excel also in academics, we die who do not have non-academic achievements!" naufal gave an idea.
"Truely it!" clarice and Arsen at the same time.
"Yes.yes.you are right... God is fair." replied Hanna smiling sincerely this time. "What stage is Vino?" muttered Hanna who immediately looked for the name of her fellow athletes.
"32!" sahut Naufal who first found the name Vino.
"We're fellow athletes, but he's pretty smart apparently!" hanna felt very small.
"I heard because his father wanted him to be the future successor to his Papa in his Daddy's company Cla." Naufal said. "For that his father also wants Vino to excel also in the field of subjects. And I'm sure Vino is working hard on these values."
Hearing that Clarice was quite jolted. Will Vino ever work for the Adhitama Group one day? Is it possible that they will meet again?
I don't know, it's all still God's secret.
"Oh.." said Hanna nodding in understanding. The athlete began to realize that he did not get the compulsion of anyone to be able to achieve good grades.
Suddenly a notification in the form of a message image appears on the Clarice phone screen. And he immediately opened a message that turned out to be from Vino, who had no idea where the young man was now.
And I don't know when Vino kept the number. Just this time the name of Vino that he had saved since he first entered the school sent a message to him.
Clarice's heart was pounding, holding a smile when Vino's name appeared on her chat app. Clarice normalizes nervous breathing, so as not to be seen by others. Then he moved his thumb.
One photo appears to be downloaded automatically, and Cla immediately opens a chat from Vino. Because I want to know what pictures Vino sent him.
A photo that he thought showed a row of ratings of his name and friends, turned out to be class XI rankings.
"For what purpose did Vino send a ranking list of class XI?" clarice's murmur heard by her friends.
"Huh?" peek at Hanna who was beside him. The female athlete immediately approached and read the picture sent by Vino.
Not yet finished they understand why Vino sent a photo ranking class XI, a chat message following the entry of the same name.
"Zuria ranked 87, did she take the exam?" ask Vino through a chat read by Clarice, but still heard by others.
"What!" squeal the four children at the same time.
"Your daddy gave me permission?" tanya Arsen immediately stared fixedly at the confused Cla.
"Daddy didn't say anything to me." replied Cla. He was very sure that the Daddy hadn't talked about Zuria since that day. Because it is forbidden to ask.
"But I didn't see him come on the first and second day of the exam." said Arsen again.
"Papa or Mama you didn't tell me?" ask Cla back to Arsen. "Your families are close."
"No!" reply Arsen. "Papa hasn't talked about them since we were in the BK room. The only thing that was talking about was me and you who turned out to be friends at school." he continued.
"What connection?" ask Hanna.
"Yeah.. because it turns out my mom and Daddy Clarice were good friends when she was in school first." replied Arsen. "Eh. Now their son is one class and friends."
"Ooo.." replied Hanna nodding.
"I'll ask Daddy later." said Clarice, then immediately typed a message for Vino.
"I don't know.." reply Clarice via typing in her chat app.
"Oh." Oh answer from Vino that so quickly appeared on Clarice's phone screen.
"I heard he was going to change schools." Naufal said later.
"Where do you know?" ask Clarice.
"Papa said." she replied. "When Papa found out your Daddy pulled out a stake in the Zuria family company, it turned out that my guess that day was true. Papa will certainly also withdraw his shares even if only 5%" explained Naufal. "And right, Papa pulled all his shares from ARL Express.
"Then?"
"Then Papa said he said Zuria would be transferred to a private school. Or maybe even the land."
"OOOHH.." All who hear oh ria.
"Kasian is too... When you see someone who is attending International School, then you have to move to a private or even public school" said Hanna. "It's not because public and private schools are bad. But they'll definitely get mental. Because they are considered bankrupt or even outcast!" continued. "But how else. That's the right punishment for an arrogant child!"
"You're right!" saut Clarice's. "I'm also really messianic, but Daddy if Mara is like that. For that I dare not oppose all Daddy's decisions!" continued.
"If Zuria's problem comes along or not, if it turns out that Zuria is coming along, I'm sure Daddy has considered very carefully why he allowed Zuria to take the exam" Clarice continued. "If Zuria did not come, there was no way she could be ranked now."
"I'm curious.." muttered Arsen.
"What?"
"If he's coming, where's the exam? because I didn't see him at all on the first and second day's exam."
"True too." muttered the others.

In someone's phone line ...
"How high is it?"
"Rank in 19th grade, sir... And ranked in school 87." replied Mrs. Maria.
"Previously, when Class X used to be he was often at what rank?"
"His usual in class he was in the range of rank 9 to 13, sir. And rank schools in the 30 to 60 ranking range!"
"Hmmm... Alright!" answer the caller over there.
"Yes, Sir... Can I help you again?" ask Mrs. Maria.
"Nothing!" answers in sebrang. "Take it easy for him to change schools!" continued.
"Good, Master!" answer Mrs. Maria.
The connection was also cut. Mrs. Maria hung up the phone with a long sigh.
"You guys are awesome!" muttered Mrs. Maria then.

"You deserve this punishment." muttered Kenzo from his great chair as CEO and owner of the Adhitama Group.
"If Mr. Kenzo knows, two days that the child's face really wants to die if possible." said Venom who sat in front of him.
"I really want to see the boy under pressure" Kenzo replied. "Only am I still so fed up with meeting his parents including seeing the boy."
"And that's how he's been feeling for two days finishing his test, sir!"
"You can always make someone feel depressed, Venom!" praise Kenzo.
"And that's because you learned so much from you, Mr. Kenzo" Venom replied proud of being Kenzo's confidante from a dozen years ago.
"When are you ready to take on my duties?" ask Kenzo.
"Do you mean Mr. Kenzo to be CEO?" ask Venom.
"Yes!" answer Kenzo. "To whom else would I entrust that office if not to you?"
"But I'm still comfortable being your personal assistant, Mr. Kenzo."
"Isn't it important that I stay on top of you? Stay here with you? The difference is you are tired and I received the results at home!" kenzo said with a soft laugh.
Venom smiled knot. Such is the Assistant, efficient laughter and smiles. "I think Zio also has a great dedication to be CEO, Mr. Kenzo." Venom suggested. "I'm more comfortable being your assistant."
Kenzo seemed to be weighing Venom's proposal. Think hard, because it's time he made someone to be CEO. Replaced himself who is now a shareholder, and wants to spend a lot of time with his family.
