Melody stepped inside the classroom and stopped when she saw Lion already sitting in his chair. Lion raised his head from the table and looked at Melody who was standing in front of the door. By trying to act ordinary Melody stepped towards her desk.
"Good morning Melon." said Lion in a flat tone because he was still sleepy at the moment.
Melody sat in her chair beside Lion.
"Because I entered today I couldn't sleep last night. I left early but I was part of it, and now I feel sleepy" Lion said, laying his head on the table staring at Melody. "Five days of no school feels less."
"Shut up, don't talk to me!" melody acted like her usual self.
Lion raised his head and looked at Melody.
"Am I bothering you?" lion asked but Melody did not reply and just silently stared at the blackboard. "Then I'll move seats..." Lion stood up.
Melody quickly held onto Lion's arm so Lion stopped and looked at the girl in confusion.
Melody turned to her, "If you move it means you admit defeat? Right so?" look Melody.
Lion laughed skeptically and sat back down.
"Losing?" lion said. "Well, you keep acting cold and annoying like that while I won't stop bothering you. We'll see who finally gives up and moves on."
"I agree." replied Melody coldly.
"Of course, ice melon!! I will disturb you even more vigorously from now on!!" exclaim Lion. "I won't lose to the stupid brother of Ars! I am the Lion (\=Singa), I will crush the ice melon and I will eat it out!!" continued Lion with great enthusiasm.
Melody turned to the window to hide her smile from Lion.
"Geez, it seems I have to add my jacket if sitting next to the ice melon, I can freeze" Lion said with the intention of mocking Melody.
...***...
Lion breaks with his friends are relaxing while enjoying their rest time on the sidelines.
Suddenly Felix comes to him and tries to disturb Lion.
"How was your vacation? What's fun?" felix smiled mockingly.
"It was so much fun that it felt like five days was too short" Lion replied trying to hold back his emotions, and still sat back. "I'm sorry, I want to enjoy my break so casually that I can't get out of my sight, upperclassman?!" lion closed his eyes.
"How's Melody doing? Is she okay? Yeah, it seems like that. Her three brothers would definitely protect her very well right?"
Lion opened his eyes to look at Felix. While the two friends who were with him were just silent did not dare to interfere.
"I was so upset that he turned me down before I did anything to him" Felix said. "It's like seeing a doll in a glass wrapper, I can only look at it and without being able to play it."
"Whatchu mean? Don't mess!!" Lion got up and grabbed Felix's shirt collar but his two friends held him back and Lion released the grip of Felix with an annoyed look.
"Main-play you say? Heh, it's been like a hobby for me" Felix said, further upsetting Lion. "Whatever the glass wrapper is, it doesn't matter to me, because there's no toy I can't play with."
After saying so Felix walked away with a sarcastic smile.
Lion could only stare at Felix's departure furiously and resentfully.
...***...
Melody in class was strumming her guitar with one of her classmates who asked to be taught to play guitar by her. This was the first time for Melody to talk to a friend in the class other than Lion.
A little embarrassed he taught his friend that on his desk. While the classmate named Rinka looks very happy and enthusiastic to learn to play guitar like him.
"Every time I see you, I feel like you're a cool woman" Rinka said. "Because of that I thought, I also want to be able to play guitar like Melody."
"I can teach you." Melody replied stiffly.
Suddenly there was a tremor coming from Lion's bag lying on the table.
With doubt Melody opened Lion's bag and took the phone inside. He was surprised to see the name of the caller on the phone screen. The one who called was Sandra. Melody had thought about whether she would answer or not but her curiosity made her want to answer the phone.
"Lion, can we meet again?" ask Sandra after Melody presses the answer button on the phone. "Please, there's something I want to ask you about your explanation yesterday."
"Sorry, Lion is not there at the moment, he left his cellphone in the bag while he went out of class" said Melody.
"So that's it Sandra said. Why are you answering the phone? You're who?"
"I. I'm a Lion's friend, I think this is an important phone so I answer it." Melody replied nervously.
"No, it's an important phone" Sandra said seriously. "Then can you tell me where you're going to school, there's something I need to talk to Lion about, this is something that's important to me."
"What?"
"I beg of you..."
...***...
Melody could not concentrate after the break. She didn't know what she was doing, she felt a little sorry answering Sandra's phone. Even he did not dare to tell Lion about the phone.
Ten minutes before school, Melody looked out the window. Look at the school gate that is clearly visible from where he sits. He was shocked when he saw a familiar woman in his eyes standing in front of the school gate. She is Sandra.
What's he doing here? Ask in the heart.
He realizes that answering Lion's phone is a mistake, but telling him where he and Lion are at school is the biggest mistake he made.
So that's why Sandra asked him to tell her where their school was. What am I supposed to do now? Thought Melody turned to Lion who was watching the teacher with a sleepy look.
Lion will wonder where Sandra knows her school from and if Sandra answers if I tell her, this could be bad. What am I supposed to do?
The doorbell rang, Melody's anxiety reaching its peak.
Sandra was still waiting in front of the school gate, while Lion was already getting ready to go home.
Melody held onto Lion's jacket as Lion was about to put headphones into his ear.
Lion looked at Melody with a question mark visible on his face.
"I'm sorry" Melody said, dodging her head away from Lion's gaze. "When you took a break, your phone shook and I answered and it was Sandra. He begged me to tell him where we went to school and I told him. Right now Sandra is waiting for you in front of the school gate."
After hearing Melody's words, Lion immediately rushed out of the classroom.
Melody was silent for a moment thinking about her mistake but after that she immediately ran towards the school gate to know what happened.
...***...
Melody hid behind the school wall to eavesdrop on what was being talked about between Lion and Sandra outside the school. The two of them did not speak until it was quieter, until no more students left school.
"Now tell me, why refuse me?" ask Sandra to start the conversation.
"I told you the reason yesterday, didn't I?" lion said.
"Then I want to meet him!" exciting Sandra. "Is he also at school here? Bring her here so I can believe you rejected me for liking other women. I want to compare him to me."
"Sandra don't, you're making it harder and harder to say" Lion said confusedly. "I do like other women but I can't tell you because I don't know how she feels about me either."
"Then I won't stop as long as you haven't told that woman. I'll keep calling you." exclaimed Sandra. "So you better tell him that soon. If he accepts you then I'll stop chasing you but if he refuses then I still have a chance, right?"
"A... what? Don't be that way!!"
"Then introduce her to me quickly! I will also come here tomorrow and so on until you can show me!!" sandra said after that walk away.
"Tu.. Wait a minute Sandra!!" call Lion but he ignores it. "Great!!"
