School Series: Friend But Friendly
Gossip on Monday

"Daddy is not at all forbidden you dance but I'm upset you didn't tell Dad that you went out with a guy" said Dad honestly.

"Yes, I'm sorry for not being honest with you. I should have asked permission first if I wanted to go not nyelonong that way." Kira relented. It's better than raising the problem.

Father calmed down again but his gaze remained intense on the princess. "So... Glen's the guy you're after, huh?"

Kira glares. She thought it was just Mom who was curious apparently Dad too. "What the hell is Dad? Glen's just a classmate we have an Indonesian presentation on Wednesday."

Dad nodded his head in understanding. "There's no such thing as you going out for a walk with a guy, from now on if you want to go for permission with Daddy and then Dad who will take you home, okay?"

"Yes Dad." Kira answered briefly.

"Now go to the restroom tomorrow, you have to go to school." There was no rebuttal from Kira. He went straight into the room leaving his parents alone sitting in the living room.

"You're too hard on him" Mother commented defending Kira again.

"You also keep him going, what does he want for sure you participate how if Kira is wrong association? I don't want if something happens to my son, his friends should definitely not like the one from before!" reply Daddy's upset.

"You mean Glen? Glen's a good kid, he's humorous and a cook-to-be"

"It looks like a little bit of cake, look everywhere it's clear that he's not quite right. I want my son's smart friends are also not just good, can make our children follow smart too." Father cut his wife's words with a passionate tone.

"It's up to you, sleepy to rest first." She went to the room and closed the door, no matter how big the sound.

Monday, the most annoying day because it must be hot in the field for the flag ceremony. Moreover, the sun is very hot there is no cold air. The flag ceremony is full of wisdom and everything goes into their respective classes.

Kira herself fanned the face with a book because of the rage. The first hour is biology relaxing without any pressure. While cooling down a classmate walked over. "Eh Kira," call the young man.

Kira looked over with a shrunken forehead. "Lo went to the salon yesterday?"

"Yes, why?"

"Lo's impression seems a little different, I just realized that you're beautiful." The young man wanted to get closer. Kira felt threatened and moved away when her classmates were about to approach.

Before he could get close, the young man's shoulders were patted from behind. He turned around and found Glen. "Stupid yuk, to the cafeteria."

There was no resistance as Glen pulled her out even more precisely if it was said to drag the young man down. Kira herself breathed a sigh of relief. At least nobody will bother him anymore.

Not long after Mother Teacher entered, Glen and the young man entered the classroom as well. His classmate's face was pale while Glen looked fine. The eyes of the two of them unintentionally looked at each other. Kira immediately gave a thin smile but strangely Glen just turned his face away.

Kira feels confused but quickly ignores it in order to focus on the subject matter described. Until the break Glen instantly disappeared without Kira knowing where the young man was going.

Finally Kira went straight to the cafeteria by herself even though her intention was to invite Glen to eat meatballs. He seems to be busy with other things. From the initially somewhat less excited suddenly happy to see the figure of Anggi, his best friend was there.

Kira's coming over. He walked a few steps with a fluffy smile but as soon as he saw the presence of Bian the steps came to a halt, a line of smiles just disappeared. It would be better if Kira didn't bother them. The more time they both have, the faster Anggi and Bian are. Hope so.

Kira then walked out of the canteen. He decided to read a book in the library. Eat in the cafeteria preferably during the second break.

He was lost in the novel he read. So deep into the character in the novel who is grieving the loss of someone he loves the most. "Can you join?" ask a girl. He woke Kira from the daydream.

"Sure" answered Kira.

The girl then sat down next to Kira with a friendly smile. He read the book he had brought for a while and returned to focusing on Kira. "You're Kirana, right?" ask the girl again.

"I'm sorry?"

"You're Kirana's 2-C grade, right? We had one class at 1-A, remember?"

Kira mutters. He had no memory of the memories when he had just entered school. Kira only knows that in grade 1-A is a toxic environment and makes him strangle with competition among students.

Kira immediately asked his father once the first semester was completed to transfer him in class 1-C and by making a letter of agreement Kira will not enter the superior class even though the value is sufficient or exceeded. Miraculously his father agreed.

"Who is? I don't remember" Kira said honestly.

"Ah maybe we haven't been acquaintances, you just moved to 1-C class that time because your grades are declining." Kira's forehead shriveled. From his tone that seemed to be underestimating, Kira felt something strange.

"I'm Ita, the secretary of the osis," Ita said as she stuck out her hand.

"Kirana," Kira replied as she shook Ita's hand.

"I'm so happy to meet you at this place. We haven't seen each other in a long time." Kira smiles. Not believing in Ita's words because of the students in the superior class staring at each other as opponents. If they were friends, they would be hypocrites and stab each other in the back.

"I heard you were in class with Glen, how's it going?" Kira instantly shifted her attention. He was curious about Glen's relationship with Ita.

"Why are you asking about him?" Kira asked back.

"We're one class from sd to smp only we haven't spoken since Glen cheated." Ita replied with a sad mimic.

"cheating?"

"Yes cheating. I saw him walk into the teacher's office after everyone left. At first I thought he was going to class looking for something left behind but it was weird so I followed him and I found him inside the locked teacher's room. I don't actually want to report but since I know Glen's the general champion at school, I don't stay quiet."

Kira fell silent. Confused what to respond. "I didn't expect a person like Glen who was kind and humorous to act dirty. I hope he can be a good person. You're not close to Glen?"

A few moments Kira was shocked. He murmured as an uncertain answer. "Don't get too close 'cause you're gonna get in trouble with him." Kira was silent again. If Anggi says bad things about Glen, he can still defend but for Ita, Kira starts to lose patience.

"I'm leaving first yeah, nice to talk to you." Ita then stood up and walked a few steps before finally turning her face to Kira. "Oh yeah by the way say my love to her, her boyfriend is so pretty."

"Daughter?" tanya Kira did not understand.

"Yes girlfriend. You didn't see the class group?" Ita actually left Kira who instantly opened the chat app. Because he turned off the class group notification. From the chat that his classmates just sent, Glen did have a girlfriend.

One picture became the center of attention of Kira. It was a picture of Anggi with Glen last night. There are so many questions in his mind now and he has to find out before the gossip becomes more and more.
