Melody reached her class ten minutes before the school bell rang. He sat in his chair playing the phone waiting for the clock to come in.
He opened social media that just got a notification from someone. A message from an account he has not been friends with.
Idu za toboy.
He saw an account called X. Nikolayevich M. sent him a sentence that Melody thought was strange, she did not understand what it meant. Melody also did not want to know what it meant. He immediately closed it and put his phone to the table.
"Mel, you know what?" asked Rinka the friend who was sitting in front of her. "I heard there was a new kid."
Melody just shook her head in response.
Not how long Lion entered by tightening his jacket, looking cold. Melody became a little misbehaved at the presence of Lion.
"God is so cold." lamented Lion as he sat down in his chair, beside Melody. "Rain was still dripping and I had to travel 25km with Megan to go to school. You know, I didn't stay at Ivan's house."
Melody was silent even though she really wanted to answer him. He really wants to say Take care of your health but his heart whose frequency is getting faster undoes his wishes.
The school bell rang, the lesson hour mark began.
"Melon, I'm going to sleep for a while, tell me that there's a teacher" Lion said, putting his head on the table in a pile of school bags.
Melody remained silent and did not answer.
"Wait for you to take a course?" asked Lion who was still looking at Melody with his head on the table. "I'll pick you up when I get home from class, accompany me to ramen ya."
Melody looks at Lion because for the first time Lion intends to pick him up other than at the request of his family.
At the same time, Widia entered the class.
"Why should ramen? It's not healthy to eat too much of it." Melody replied trying to be casual to Lion.
"Today we have a new student. He is very handsome." said Widia in a thunderous cheer from the female students. "Come in, and introduce yourself."
"The rains like this are the best to eat ramen." Lion replied smiling at Melody who was staring at him.
"Dobroye utro, men zovut X. Nikolayevich Mordashov."
As Lion turned to the front of the class and took his seat, Melody was surprised to see someone standing in front of the class next to his homeroom teacher. A young man with pale skin who coats his school uniform with a long black coat and a left hand stuffed into his coat pocket.
"He's like a vampire" said Rinka, who sat in front of Melody.
"Ah, I mean, good morning, my name is X. Nikolayevich Mordashov." Niko smiled and waved her right hand at Melody.
Lion immediately turned his head to Melody who was staring at Niko tensely.
The live class situation. The presence of Niko who immediately waved at Melody made everyone cheer. Almost all of the female students in the class were envious of Melody because they felt Niko was very handsome with her mixed face.
Widia calms the class by tapping on the board.
"Please continue with the introduction" Widia said.
"Call me Niko." continued Niko. "Master, I have anemia so I want to sit by the window. Because of my height, it's better for me to sit in the back." Niko said without further ado.
Widia understood with Niko's intention, she asked to sit near Melody. But he knew that Lion should not be moved all the way from Melody. He remembered the message of his lover who wanted his sister to always be close to Lion.
"It's okay teacher, I can sit in front of Lion too" said Niko. "Our height is not much different."
"Alright, Ferdi, you can move to that chair over there." Widia exclaimed to the student sitting in front of Lion.
"Spasibo." answered Niko immediately walked to her seat without asking Widia.
Melody tried to be ordinary by not looking at Niko. Rinka who sat beside Niko looked delighted as the young man walked towards her.
"I'm sorry guys, I didn't tell you before" Niko whispered to Lion as she sat in front of him.
Niko turned to Melody with a smile.
"Have you read my message, Melody?" ask Niko.
Melody remained silent and acted as if she had not heard it. In his heart he felt a little afraid of the young man, from the very beginning he always tried to approach him. But the existence of Lion made him quite calm.
"Niko, shouldn't you be in the eleventh grade?" lion asked confusedly.
"Last year I didn't go to class anymore" whispered Niko turning to Lion.
"Gosh, then you haven't been in class for two years. You're more stupid than Ars turns out." muttered Lion in surprise.
"With that handsome face and the wealth I have, I don't think it's a problem with that." whispered Niko.
Melody who stole the hearing held back her laughter hearing the young man's confession that looked so sinister to her.
I'm coming for you.
...***...
The three Musketeers who heard of Niko's move to their school were about to approach her to Melody's class to warn the young man to stay away from their sister.
During the break, just as they wanted to cross the field to the Melody class, Niko also saw the three Musketeers walking towards her. Therefore he walked up to them as a form of fearlessness.
The three Musketeers and Niko meet right in the middle of the field making all eyes towards them. They stood face to face, Aramis who was in the middle stared intently at Niko who was his sworn enemy. Athos on the right and Prothos on the left of Aramis.
The Lion who saw that happened approached the four of them and took a position in the middle to stop them all from being the center of attention. Away from there Melody was behind Lion looking at what was happening.
"Come on, don't be like this" said Lion who was in the middle of those who faced each other.
Niko smiled at the three Musketeers. The smile that the three had interpreted was a mockery.
"Vy, rebyata, skuchayete po mne? (Did you miss me?)" ask Niko. "Yes skuchayu po vam, moi brat'ya. (I miss you my sisters)."
"Zamolchis!! Shutok bez!! (Shut up!! Don't joke!!)." cried Athos who mastered Russian.
"Wow, it turns out that my brother who is smart can speak Russian too. I feel closer to you, brother." Niko smiled. "But what the hell are you three, you're disappointing me with the news that I got. You're Ato, it turns out your girlfriend is someone's fiancee."
Athos did not respond and just stared intently at Niko.
"And you're Oto, it seems my kiss made you gay. Who's your boyfriend now?"
Prothos just smiled holding back his emotions.
Niko took a step closer to Aramis, Lion also came forward to prepare with the worst possibility in case Aramis could not hold back his emotions.
"Did I hear wrong?" niko's face is fixed on Aramis. "This invincible one is now taking refuge behind a woman?"
Aramis laughed at Niko's provocation.
"What the fuck are you, Ars? You think you and that woman are Bonnie and Clyde??" asked Niko with a laugh. "Yes, may the end of you with that woman be nothing like them."
Aramis doesn't understand what Niko says, but she knows it's not a good thing. He began to be provoked until he walked forward. Fortunately Athos had him.
Athos was closer to Niko, looking at her sharply.
"Kakova vasha tsel'? (What's your goal?)" ask Athos calmly.
"It seems that you also already know" said Niko. "Tvoya mladshaya sestra (Your sister)."
Lion immediately stood up taking a position in the middle between Niko and Athos who also began to lose his patience after blatantly Niko replied his goal came was for their younger sister, Melody.
"You guys!! Don't be like a child. We are at school." Lion told the three Musketeers angrily scratching his head.
But suddenly Lion faced Niko and looked at her.
"Niko, it's your first day here, don't overdo it!"
Niko looked at Lion, and knew the warning from Lion was not playful. The young man smiled at the three Musketeers after which turned away. Niko walked to her class while removing a lip moisturizer to moisturize her ever-dry lips.
Lion turned around and faced the Musketeers who looked extremely filled with anger at this moment.
"I'll take care of it." Lion told the Musketeers.
The three Musketeers walked away followed by the disciples watching from the sidelines.
Lion put both his hands into his pants pocket and turned around, but his gaze stopped on Melody who was still staring at him from afar.
"Argghh, this becomes very troublesome." muttered Lion walking down with both hands in his pants pocket.
...----------------...
Xander Nikolayevich Mordashov.
This mixed-blooded man was Russian because his father was from there. He has pale white skin and always wears a long coat covering his entire body, which makes him look like a vampire. In addition, Niko always put her left hand into the coat pocket and always wear gloves on the hand. Besides being handsome his family is very rich because he often says he does not need a smart brain or good lesson grades. In fact, he has been living in class for 2 years. His age was the same as the three Musketeers, yet it was still on the same level as the Lion and Melody. He felt with a handsome face and his wealth was no longer a problem in his life. But in reality the sentence was only to cover up the biggest sadness in him.
(Note: Niko is the author's favorite character).
