A HEART THAT IS STILL TRAPPED IN THE PAST
Ruckus

There was one day I didn't understand the situation. I still remember a lot when it was a break, and it just so happened that our class was empty. Indira and I read books we had borrowed in the library.

While Kris and Daren gather in front of the classroom, along with the other boys. Classrooms are a bit quiet as many head to the canteen to spend their money.

At that time I was busy reading and not paying attention around me, until the voice of a girl called my name.

“Ella... ” My gaze toward the source of the voice that called out to me, that girl in a brown-skinned apprentice with long hair and slightly advanced teeth came forward.

I remember the girl was a new member in our class, she was previously in class VII. 7. I frowned and saw his hand calling me to his seat which was near the window and at the front..

“What's up, Anna?” I asked him, I saw he was still looking at me for a long time.

“I want to ask you something, can I?” hearing Anna say that I'm so bad.

Maybe he felt a little awkward because it was our first time chatting. Also Anna is the quiet type, I don't think she has many friends either, Anna is always alone and just spends her break at her desk.

“Tell me, no need to hesitate. We are fleeting friends, aren't we?” I looked back at him to wait for what he would ask me.

“Do you... ”

Bruack!!!

Anna was about to speak when a rowdy voice sounded from outside the classroom. It instantly made me turn my head towards Indira, who was also as surprised as I was, “What happened?” my many.

I saw Indira shake her head, “I don't know either, it seems like someone is fighting.”

“Hey, quickly separate them!” a classmate made a loud noise.

“Stop! Stop 'em! Jesus, what happened to you?” I heard the voice of our class president, Gealova.

Bruack!!!

“Basic crybaby! It's just like emotion!”  Okta, the tomboy girl in my class opened the door rudely.

“What happened? Why so many?” ask me in hopes that someone will explain the situation.

“Daren raged, it happened so fast that I also did not know the details of the incident,” Varo passing on my desk answered my question.

I'm slow loading, and Varo just mentioned Daren. How could? During this time when we were chatting, Daren's attitude was very good as well he said softly.

I never once heard him curse like that, not long after, the door that had been closed opened again. I saw that Daren's uniform was a bit wet, and so was her face that was indeed like a person. Who just cried.

Daren sat in her chair, so long without looking at me as usual. I think Daren needs tissue so. I had the initiative to give her my tissue.

But I was surprised by his actions. He brushed my hand away so that the tissue fell to the ground, “If you don't want to accept my help, just say so. Why act so rude? Is it hard to say sorry, I don't need,”

I took the tissue back and I put it in her hand lazily. I intended to help her because I was a little worried about her but prayer did not seem to need me.

Then I looked at Kris and asked, “Actually what happened between Daren and Okta?”

“In short, the broom that Okta was playing about Daren's eyes, after which instead of apologizing Okta instead mocked Daren saying he was crybaby for being wonid.” Kris explained it to us.

“Which person will not cry if something hits his eyes, it is indeed a wrong action.” Indira stopped her reading and glanced at Daren's back.

“But still, Why did he act rudely to Ella who had already initiated giving him tissue?” added Indira, then clucked dislike at Daren's actions towards me.

Maybe my initiative to give Tissue to wipe her wet face, is not right. Daren might think, I'm either mocking him or maybe he doesn't want me to see his face that just cried.

Okta's actions were indeed wrong in this regard, she should have apologized to Daren instead of ridiculing him for the result of her reckless actions. I then glanced at my Friend, Indira too like Okta is a bit tomboy but she can still keep her piercing.

After a few minutes, Daren turned his back and looked back at me, then looked down again. He touched my hand that he just tepis, it was bruised there.

His head lifted then looked me in the eye again, “I'm sorry, I accidentally did that earlier, I was really in emotion. The bar-bar girl..”.

I don't know where to get the initiative from until I bravely touch his face, “I know, He mocked you crybaby right?”

“You know..”.

“I heard him say it earlier, don't put it in your heart.”

“You, do you think the same as him?”

I smiled holding back my laughter, how could it be just because of such a small thing that I directly judged Daren a crybaby. I just shook my head to give him an answer.

Then the cheers of ‘Cie..’ from the table opposite me woke me up from my actions just now, as well as from our current position. Daren and I immediately let go of our hands.

“Haha, what was that? The position is very romantic like a couple of lovers. Or maybe you guys..”

“We are friends, and we only care for each other.”

“Really, but your eyes look..”.

“What?”

I saw Amber looking in silence, then back chatting with her boyfriend. I also went back to my busy life with the money, reading a book I borrowed in the library.

I suddenly remembered that Anna seemed to want to ask me something, I glanced at her, she was bowing with a paper and pen in her hand.

“Hey, what do you see?” Indira suddenly asked me.

“Do you feel that Anna is too quiet?”

“Not really, I think he looks like you. Will not talk if not invited first.”

“I don't feel that way. I often invite you to talk first.”

“Oh, really? Try to invite Daren to chat first,” Indira smiled like he was mocking me.

“Y... It's different, Daren boy, I've never never not I mean I rarely open up a chat with boys before, I know, and it feels like after my little friend he is my third male friend.”

“So I'm second?”

“No, actually the order is family, little friends then you.”

Daren only nodded after hearing my sentence, then my ears heard him say, “There is still a distance apparently.”

Huh huh?
