"Haiss, it's very troublesome" I said softly, "Tiara, help me bring all this." I confirmed with an elbow, a crown that seemed to fall from my head.

The Nusa Bangsa Academy gave me a tiara crown, a white rose, two paperbags, and a box containing the keys to the library's private room.

"Don't you see my hands are full too?" said Tiara who also looks troubled, on his neck clad in the keys of a greenhouse of medicinal plants, the left hand holds a bouquet of white roses, the, and in the right hand flanking the right plaque on the medicine of his creation while holding a paperbag.

"Huh, next time I'll bring a very very, very big plastic bag to carry all this," I said, stomping my legs annoyed, "uh, uh, uh... for this crown will not fall." I confirmed again the crown that had wanted to fall.

"Hahhh, receiving gifts is so troublesome, too" I murmured again.

"Shut up, Luci! You've said that dozens of times since you took the podium" Tiara said.

"What a pity you guys.so the hassles of bringing gifts."

I, who was bothered, only regarded the words as the wind and walked past the man.

"Luciana Lighter! Why do you always ignore me?" pissed off the girl I used to call 'Chilli'. Me and Tiara stopped our steps.

Tiara looked furious, while I sighed. The mood of my heart has been shattered by Rey, and now the Chilli is looking for it.

"Look! I have a friend like Raisa who can help me bring all this, it's a pity that you don't have one. hihihihi.." show off Cechillia.

I normalized the look of the face to be as sweet as possible, still remembering the role today. "Chilli, what a pity, my best friend is so smart and talented. Well..want how to explain it, our hands are so full to help each other."

"You. you.." so furious that Cechillia was speechless, while Tiara and I showed a sinless smile.

Drap, drape, drape, drape, drap...

Seen from far away a bunch of boys approached towards us.

Cechillia turned her head to look at him and smiled in satisfaction. "Look! My fans have come to give me flowers, you also definitely do not have them.." sneered Cechillia with that annoying snobbish face of hers.

"Pst... Ra, what are they each carrying a flower for?" I whispered in Tiara's ear.

Tiara sighed tiredly, then replied in a whisper, "You must have forgotten about it, Luci... A monthly ritual that requires each student to bring a flower to be given to their favorite student."

My lips formed the letter 'O' in response to Tiara's explanation.

"Hi you guys, thank you for that." said Cechillia stalled as the swarm of boys just passed by.

"Luciana Lighter, Tiara Granindra, we brought you a flower. For your sake, we bring two flower stalks each. Please accept our respect" said one of the men in the mob.

"Hm. thank you, but our hands are so full now," said the plain Tiara.

"What if we bring your things? That way you can receive flowers from us." said one of the men there.

"Yes, right."

"Rubber, I'll help bring it."

"I am too."

"I am too."

"I am too."

The truth of the horde.

"Well, if you insist," I said, handing them the luggage, "you leave it to Refisha's mother, have her put it in my dorm room and Tiara."

"good. It's a flower from me."

"This is mine."

"I am too."

"Thank you for receiving my flowers."

And some other people said they gave flowers to me and Tiara.

"Thank you for helping us" Tiara said sincerely to them.

"His stuff.." I rolled one eye, "please..."

"IYAAA.." replied in unison to the horde of men, then left happily.

"Ehem.." dehamku, "The fans have come... help us weak girls bring so many things..."

"That's right, Luci.so this is what it's like to have fans.." said Tiara chimed in.

"Huh, arrogant from what I see, the horde is from level 1. They're blind, can't see the Acnusbang mascot here. Just a stroke of luck was already so big a head.." sneered Cechillia.

"Truely, surely senior level 2 and 3 will give you a lot of flowers as usual, Cechillia," said Raisa.

"North... These flowers are delicious, so much I was confused," I said not to mengubris the words of the two girls.

"Luci, you're right, I'm confused, too" Tiara replied as if knowing that I was being lazy to respond to the two girls' words.

Drap, drape, drape, drape, drap...

"Look, Cechillia. Senior level 3 has arrived," Raisa exclaimed.

"really. Come here, my fans," said Cechillia confidently.

"And look! From that direction there are also hordes of level 2 seniors, you will definitely get more flowers than the two of them" Raisa exclaimed again.

"Of course," said the arrogant Cechillia, "you'd rather get out of the way than be pushed by the mob." The girl's hand shook the evictor.

"Let's get out of the way, Luci.." said Tiara pulling my hand away from Cechillia and Raisa, while the two arrogant girls threw a soft look as we walked away.

On the other side. Dev and Rey have already put the award prize they received, they then return to the field to perform the ritual of giving flowers.

"Dev, why are there two hordes from the opposite direction approaching the four girls there?" exciting Rey.

"Maybe want to do the ritual of giving flowers, but..." Dev seemed to think, "didn't the four girls be Luciana, Tiara, Cechillia, and Raisa?"

"Princess Luciana? Whereabouts? Oh.. no, we have to get there fast," said Rey leaving Dev behind.

The two men are getting closer. Cechillia and Raisa's smiles grew wider and more satisfied, their gazes as if they were mocking towards us.

"Huh, basic Chilli. Snob! Let's just go, Ra! What's here for," I grumbled.

"Come, Luci! My eyes hurt looking at those two arrogant girls."

"Luciana Lighter! Granindra Tiara! Receive flowers from us, Senior level 3!" exclaim one of the hordes.

"Receive flowers from us as well, Senior level 2!" exclaim another horde.

They got closer and closer to Cechillia and Raisa as if staggered back, after which I couldn't see how they looked at that moment.

Tiara and I were overwhelmed by the flowers. Our hands are full of flowers.

"Haihhh, it looks like we're late, Rey. They're surrounded" said Dev.

"Luciana. Why is your charm so alluring that most of the male disciples in Aknusbang are infatuated with you?" said Rey lethargic.

"Rey, you're suddenly so disgusting that you've become Luciana's love slave" Dev said shuddering.

"Look, Cechillia! Even Rey and Dev were in line to give them flowers" Raisa said.

"Huh! Just watch out for you Luciana.." exasperated Cechillia, "Let's go, Sa!"

After a long time, the horde finally dispersed.

"Wash all these flowers what do we want?" tiara asked while scratching her head.

I thought for a moment, like there was a yellow bulb above my head.

I whispered in Tiara's ear, "What if we go to the amusement park in this city and sell all these flowers, after that.. blablabla?"

"Agreed!" exclaim Tiara excited.

"What are you planning?" ask Dev who walked over followed Rey.

"Dev!!!!" I shouted to Dev who came in time, and then I approached him, "I need your help."

"Princess Luciana... I can also help you, say... What do you want me to help you with?" said Rey interrupting the distance between me and Dev.

"Hey, Rey!" said Dev who was pushed back.

"OK, okay. We need your help" said Tiara.

"Alright, Princess. But before that, take this flower from me." As she gathered, Rey gave me a bouquet of red roses.

May also romance this boy, I will accept.

"Thank you, Rey," I said with a sincere smile, then picked up the flowers from Rey.

"You're welcome, My Princess," Rey said with a smile.

"Ehem.." deham Dev, "Luciana, this is for you." Dev gave me a bunch of lily flowers awkwardly.

I accepted it, then said with a smile, "Thank you too, Dev."

"Dev.." call Rey with her face down. A black aura enveloped him, creepy...

"Let's help me do something!" ask me to try to divert such a sticky situation.

"Yes, come!" exciting Tiara.

Rey and Dev still look at each other. Haihh.

"Rey.." call me soft.

"Yes, Princess?" the answer is sumringah. Her mood was so moody as women.

"Let's help us sell all these flowers at the amusement park!" get excited.

Finally this afternoon we agreed to meet to go to the amusement park and it did not take long, all the flower stalks sold out with half the market price.

"Why are you selling all those flowers?" ask Dev.

"really. If you need money, I can give you, Princess," Rey said, "I just don't want to see my woman in trouble."

Me and Tiara looked at each other, and exchanged smiles.

"Because of this." simultaneously answered me and Tiara while pointing at an orphanage in a corner of the city.

"Rather than me throwing away or giving the flowers, it's better to sell, and the proceeds can be donated to an orphanage. More useful, right?" I said with a bright smile.

"really. These are all brilliant ideas, Luci.." Tiara continued.

"Well, I really didn't choose wrong," Rey and Dev said at the same time, then returned to face each other as if they wanted to prey on each other.

"Oh yes! Princess.... What flowers are yours, who are you giving them to? It's gotta be for me, right?" ask Rey.

"For me, isn't it, Luciana?" sahut Dev won't lose.

"Hm.. about it. I actually did not know that today there is a ritual of giving flowers... hehehe.." I said while putting on a sinless smile.

In my heart, I only think about the big thing today, which is that I will get a library private room key award when completing monthly tasks with perfect grades. That I know from the man who used to guard the library of the Acnusbang.

Nightfall. In my dorm room.

"Haihhh, I'm so tired" I murmured.

"me too. Today was very tiring, but I just this time can be this useful in life. Thank you for being my best friend, Luci." said Tiara smiling.

"Thank you for being my best friend, Ra.." I said, then hugged Tiara.

Suddenly a thought came to my mind, making me let go of our embrace. "Oh yes, Ra. I did not see the daughter of the Agnusbang giving flowers to her son in the field. Who did they give the flowers to?"

"Oh yes! Right too, Ra. I'm curious about that too" Tiara replied.

***

In front of the door of a room.

"Rudolf!! Quickly get rid of all these flowers!" the stern and cold commandment of a man in the darkness of the room, "next no one shall go down this hall without my permission!"

"Okay, sir," said the man in command, then put away the flowers.

"Hurry up. I can't wait to be free from this curse" murmured the cold, handsome man.

To be continue...
