The Metal Military Academy
Chapter 16: Trauma of Nadia

“Nadia that sucks, yes.”

Nadia had set her intention on entering. He stayed near the door that was only slightly open, listening to what a group of his female friends were currently talking about.

“Sok beauty dia. I look, often Nadia is close to the boys gang. Where it contains cute guys all, from the kids here, to the ones in High School. Even I heard, he had acquaintances with the official's children and the House of Representatives as well, you know,” the story of one of the women who was leaning in the locker closet.

“Yaa.... His father is an important person in the military,” said one more woman who was sitting on the long bench in the middle of the dressing room while eating ciki. “Lajarlah have many acquaintances with rich people.”

The short-haired woman standing beside the chair had hit her own palm, trying to hit a real person. “That makes me even more annoyed, he's really weird with them. The promise is the same brother made.... Isha! Disgust me.”

“Thankfully Nadia has a brother as good and as great as Rafa. Very young like us-we, but his body is good, tall from the others, pinter too. Plus the same brother cousin full of charm, the Ardan. So envy me.”

“Yaa.... Even though I am sick of it I often see the face of Nadia Centil, but there is a good thing we find her. Everywhere is often treated, can be acquaintance with the circle of friends of his brothers who are careless.” The woman had eaten her kiss again, “And just gave us an answer for our PR, right?”

Nadia bit the pissed off lower lip. Apparently, his friends had been friends with him just because he wanted to use it. Utilizing his good finances, intelligence, and also looking for face in front of Rafa and Ardan.

Really sucks.

“I actually almost can't break myself to not shake his blonde hairpins that ampe balding. Last morning when we passed ama gebetan inceran me, the doi gave greetings to give him the same chocolate,” obviously the short hair more irritated. “The furniture gets to ubun-ubun, know?!”

“Kacian..” Then his partner went back to eating ciki.

“You!”

It was like the short hair slapped his friend who liked to eat the snack, but was detained because the woman near the locker spoke.

“Yes, how, yak? I hate to admit it, but his son is cute, anyway.” Then he smiled at another woman who was still silent without sound while chewing gum. “But, still cute our friend this one. Right no, Tiana?”

One woman who has been sitting quietly in a long chair chewing gum with the taste of berries is Tatiana Williem. She is indeed one of the most beautiful girls in Junior High besides Nadia, and quite accomplished as well even though the association she lived was very free.

As Nadia remembered, this Tiana came from a rich family. His mother is a famous model in neighboring countries, while his father is a businessman in the field of IT.

Tiana has a slightly higher posture than Nadia, her skin is very white in contrast to the brownish red ombre hair, and the iris is blue. Everyone in this school was always stunned by her beauty and genius, except for a few school children here who did not care about her existence despite trying to approach her.

Among them are Ardan and Rafa.

“Ck.” Tiana scoffed arrogantly. “If it is true as you say, it has been a long time that Ardan and Rafa have knelt under my feet.”

Both of Nadia's bright blue eyes widened to hear Tiana's words.

How can a girl who is considered to be the best friend talk so rudely about her siblings? In fact, Tiana looks relaxed, friendly, and understanding. Is this his true nature?

Nadia was still standing by the door, curious about the continuation of this ludicrous chat.

“You're still hard to get Ardan, Na?”

To be honest, Tiana was irritated to discuss the matter. When all men adore her because she is perfect, beautiful, high-minded, and comes from a wealthy family, the class figure Ardan alone did not turn to him at all even though Nadia who is Ardan's cousin has become his best friend.

Tiana's self-esteem is devastated by Ardan's indifference.

“Tau, ah! The person is friendly with me, but nothing at all looks good, ask the news, what else is interested in me,” said Tiana exasperated.

“Try to improve Nadia. Who knows, not only Ardan can be recorded, but Rafa also all.”

They laugh when they throw jokes at each other. Even though they are still Junior High, they already like to discuss vulgar things about their fantasies about men, especially against the two brothers Nadia.

Unable to stand the conversation that sounded more disgusting and harassing, Nadia hurriedly walked away from the dressing room. He walked quickly while clenching both hands so tightly that his books turned white.

They're repulsive. Well in front, stabbing in the back, like vilifying people from behind. Being close to others just because they want to be.

“I don't want to be together with other girls anymore! I also will not spare the contemptible girls as they are close to my brothers! Watch out for them!”

...~*~*~*~...

Because of this incident, Nadia was quite traumatized to be friends with fellow women. He is more often friends with groups of men and also friends from Rafa and Ardan.

Although she is often called an odd because she likes to be friends with men, Nadia does not care. After all, Nadia has never been friends beyond the limits of her former friends, especially Ardan and Rafa always keep her from men who want to mess around.

“Everything, I was confused how to find a girl. I'm still traumatized..” Nadia shook her head.

“In my opinion, it never hurts to open,” said Rafa, “Now, you will arrive in a new environment. Not all girls are like you used to know. Yes.... Although he mostly likes to negegosipin people from behind.”

“Dih, instead of nenangin, even kayak so nih kampret,” ledek Ardan annoyed with the words Rafa.

“Lah? I'm speaking according to the facts. And not all, but most of them like that.”

“Dah, lah. I don't want to argue with you, Raf.” Ardan shook his hand, then started talking to Nadia. “What Rafa said at the beginning is true. Try to open up. Moreover, you must definitely be a dorm unit with fellow girls. It's impossible ‘kan just because of the trauma with girls, you must live in a dormitory guy. Entar even dienakin-enakin same them, can hang me as your brother it— Adoh, Raf!”

Ardan stirred when his arm was patted hard Rafa.

“From yesterday liked ‘times you hit my arm.”

“Your mouth is guarded, Dan. What you're talking to is my adek, you know!”

“You were almost making your own jerky, Tong!”

“So it was just kidding!”

“Kidding, but almost making a friend with God!”

“Ahahaha.... You guys..”.

Nadia who initially felt awkward now laughed out loud seeing Ardan and Rafa fighting. Indeed, their debate is the best entertainment for Nadia.

In the midst of their commotion inside the plane, there was someone sitting alone at the very back corner. A girl who was daydreaming while looking at the view of white clouds through the window. The girl wears a navy blue waistcoat, black pants and boots, as well as a newsboy hat.

Her face was so sweet and cute with a silky smooth yellow skin, thick long hair slightly wavy as black as night, and my eyes were as dark blue as the ocean. The shape of the lips is medium, not too thin or thick, which certainly looks fitting and very chewy, the color also hues naturally without lipstick polish and the like.

With that glare, for a while he was still watching the scene outside the plane window until he finally remembered something. His spring fingers fiddled with the tab in hand, watching a picture of a complete family with himself in the middle, standing with a smile on his back against a traditional-style house with trees and beautiful natural scenery.

“Father, Mother, Brother, sorry if I have to leave you guys in the village.”

A thin smile that is so sweet is compared when remembering his family who is still in the faraway village.

“Pray me here, yes.”

Then, he hugged the tab in his chest that was quite contained, then leaned back.

Actually, the girl was nervous to go to the academy because this was her first experience of going away from the family in the village. But because he was determined to become one of the soldiers there, then he would live it whatever the risk.

Hope everything goes well. He hopes to meet new people and be a good friend there.
