I turned my body and... Bruk!

Who would dare to run over a girl as beautiful as me?

I saw a handsome young man when I raised my head. Her cold face reminded me of my role today. Not to be outdone by the cold, I also put on my mainstay expression.

"Luciana Lighter, huh?" ask her with that flat face.

"really. I'm sorry I got lost up here" I said calmly.

"Maybe you're a match for a tea that has just been made specifically for me" he said without the slightest change in facial features, remaining flat and cold.

"The "tea is made especially for you. How could I dare to drink it?" I said then slightly bowed the body of a sign of respect now intending to leave the place, "Sorry to interrupt, then excuse me."

How dare he refuse my offer, in the man's heart.

"Wait." he said, stopping my steps, "You've come a long way, better talk before you go."

*The offer was friendly, but the cold expression on the headmaster's face did not fade in the least. I'm not interested in talking to this cold person, I might freeze*, my mind.

"sorry. I'm not a busy person, but you are certainly different. My presence here must be very disturbing," I refused friendly, but with a flat face.

Who her? Dare to refuse my offer twice, the inner man who turned out to be the principal of Nusa Bangsa Academy.

Because this man is so young I dare to reject him, considering he is the headmaster of the Acnusbang school, I cried in my heart.

"I'm not busy" he said with a sharp look.

"All right."

Haihhh.

I followed him into the room with two large and tall door leaves. My eyes cannot help but explore all corners of this magnificent room, the items here look so antique. But everything is clean and awake.

I feel like I'm in a museum.

"Please sit down," she was friendly to me, then poured tea into two cups.

At least the look on his face was not as flat as before, my mind again.

The light in this room is minimal. I was even more curious and stepped foot into the curtains than to press the principal's offer.

Sretti...

Actually this is not polite, but when I pulled the curtains and saw the entire Nusa Bangsa Academy from above I unconsciously opened the curtains even wider. The principal's room was in a position this high, but he had pressed the number 2 button on the elevator. However, who would have thought that the second floor of this building is equivalent to the rooftop of the library building which is the largest building in the Nusa Bangsa Academy.

Instantly I forgot myself.

"You like the view?" the interuption I was retorting nodded without taking my eyes off the window.

"Then you can come here whenever you want" he said.

Suddenly my expression was out of control because it was so happy. "REally?!"

"Yes." Yeah."

I turned back to look out the window, my eyes sparkling, and without realizing it made the smile of the man beside me engraved, though almost invisible.

Brak!

"Master... Signore... This morning Luciana Lighter." said the person who had just entered the room in a hurry. He did not continue his words when his bead of eyes looked at me.

"Morning into the Day, Mr. Rudolf," my broom with a face made ice-cold and as flat as possible, then turned my gaze to the principal. "There may be something important Mr. Rudolf wants to talk about, I'm sorry." I nodded my head slightly, then waltzed away when replied to a nod by the headmaster.

When we get outside the room.

"Hm... Mr. Rudolf wants to talk about what?" muttered.

Inwardly, I am not a person who likes to interfere, but my name is mentioned. What was?

On the other side.

"Can't you knock on the door? Just screw it up," the man exasperatedly said.

"Sorry, Sir. Since a thousand years ago Master never received a guest, I have become accustomed to going straight in without knocking" Rudolf said in fear.

"Here you go, my mood is good. What's the problem?" said the man stepped towards the sofa, sat back down casually, then sipped his tea.

"This morning Luciana Lighter messed up in the senior history class of level 2" Rudolf explained.

"If the history tutor doesn't like him, fire the tutor" said the man who now opens his phone looking at the Aknusbang News Online.

"Tutor history is not angry at all at Luciana Lighter."

"Then?" ask the man while clicking on a news story about an exclusive interview two days ahead.

"He's allowing Luciana Lighter to follow his class at any time if she wants to."

I had expected that this time would be different than every hundred years before, said the man who was now staring at Luciana Lighter's photo from the exclusive Aknusbang News interview promotion.

Tuk...

A pebble I kicked up to hit someone's shoe.

"Bored?"

I looked towards that guy.

"Yes" I replied briefly.

"Can."

We walked in tandem.

"Princess Luciana!!" peekkik Rey's.

I was surprised gracefully. Then stroking the chest neutralizes the heart.

"You want to kill him? Lookie! Luciana was so shocked she was silent" Tiara said, hitting Rey on the back.

*Come Tiara... I was playing a role, not deliberately surprised to silence*, I said in my heart.

"Sorry, sorry, sorry, Princess. I didn't mean it, '" panic Rey.

"You okay?" ask the gentleman who took me to the library.

"Dev!" screeched Rey with a murderous look.

"Come, Luciana!" take Dev to pull my hand. Yes, it was Dev who took me to the library. Regardless of Rey's warning, Dev now pulled my hand again to hurry to the library with her.

Just two steps away, my other hand was pulled by the person who when I turned to look was Rey. Be an interesting pull incident as if I were a rope in a tug-of-war game.

"Hey, you two. Stop that!" Tiara untied the two to take my hand off.

"You don't try to tempt Princess Luciana in front of me, Dev" Rey exclaimed furiously.

"Then I'll do it if there's no you" said Dev.

"You!" rey snapped with her index finger pointing to Dev's face.

"I'm going to the private library. You guys wanna come?" ask me to all three. Then I walked first with Tiara, intending to go to the library regardless of whether they wanted to come along or not.

I can just shut up and put on a flat face watching you guys fuss once...

"Tiara, why are you with Rey?" my question is still with a flat face to this day, also I wonder why Tiara came here with Playboy men like Rey.

Rey hastily snatches Tiara who wants to answer. "No, no, Princess. Don't get me wrong, in my heart there's only you."

Dev turned the lazy eyeball, while Tiara straightened Rey's answer. "Oh, that. Rey offered me a contract to work with her family's company, create an herbal cosmetic. He said he'd pay me a fortune."

"really?" I asked Rey, "It's best, because if you dare to use my best friend only to benefit you." This is the second time I've threatened Rey by forming a horizontal line around my neck as a neck-cut sign.

"Of course, Princess. I won't lie" Rey said proudly.

I did not pierce his words and just waltzed away still with my mainstay flat face.

In the end the four of us have set foot in the library yard of the Nusa Bangsa Academy.

We entered the library lobby and saw the young library guard who was always there. Sometimes he stood guard accompanied by Mr. Rudolf, only he seemed so busy taking care of other things.

"Rafian, I want to go to the private room of the special library," I said to the young library guard, Rafian Angger. He is a senior student of 3rd Akademi Nusa Bangsa, a library expert or commonly called librarian.

"Okay, Luciana Lighter. Then...for the three of you, what can I help you with?" ask Rafian to Tiara, Rey, and Dev.

"Of course we want to come see the room, Luci who invited us," said Tiara followed by a nod of Rey and Dev.

"Okay, then I'll call Mr. Rudolf immediately" Rafian said.

"Let me, let me" I said briefly, then took out my phone from my right orange skirt pocket.

I entered a line of numbers Rafian gave me and made a phone call. Actually my goal in replacing Rafian was to call Mr. Rudolf because there was something I wanted to ask about earlier, so I needed this number.

Kringgg...

"Rudolf, shut! The phone was bothering me" said the principal. The man took out a cell phone from his pants pocket and stopped his chess game with the headmaster.

"Sir, this is from Miss Luciana Lighter" he said.

"Then lift up," said the headmaster casually.

"But, it's not that Mr is very unhappy if his chess game is interrupted. Why.." he said again, but stopped when the headmaster looked at him.

Without speaking again, the man immediately answered the phone before the call ended.

"Hello, Miss Luciana Lighter." she said.

"Sir Rudolf, I want to go to the private room of the special library" I said from across the phone.

"Alright, Miss. Wait a minute, I'll be there soon," the man said.

"Alright, thank you, Mr. Rudolf," I said.

"Yes, Miss."

Phone connection disconnected.

"Master, Miss asked me to show you the private room of the special library," he told the principal.

"Alright and please help me give her something." The principal gave her a box taken from her desk drawer.

To be continue...

"Give me your vote, like, and love" Luciana Lighter said with a flick of her signature eye.

See you soon.
