"Ella's still dating Mike?"
"Eh, isn't Ella broken up?"
"God! Mike cheated!"
"Si Ella is now with Rei the new boy."
The whispers were heard along the school corridor. The longer the sound gets louder. Not a whisper anymore, but a bright talk. Mike and Ella have become lips. And all this because of Bella! The girl is pumping all the residents of Tunas Bangsa High School by saying that Ella is cheating! The problem is only that Bella sees Ella sitting in the cafeteria with Reinan, and deliberately takes a picture of the two of them. Gossip is like spagethi mushroom that is so delicious eaten by them.
Ella glanced at Mike who was walking beside her. The guy looks relaxed through the hot innuendo of his fans. I don't know, maybe Mike didn't hear or pretended not to care about what was fussed about. But later Ella saw Mike snorting and speeding her footsteps. Ella's forehead wrinkled faintly as if asking, 'Why did Mike leave her?' Ella just kept quiet and walked back. Her lips were confused when she wanted to call Mike. Ella felt Mike heard what was rumored today and made things feel bad.
"Hi, La." Suddenly Reinan appeared from the girl's right side. Make Ella flabbergasted for a moment. I don't know since when that guy smelled of gum was next to Ella. And behold! Everyone around gave each other a look of dislike when Reinan came over to Ella.
"So Mike, it's Reinan." Syndir one of the schoolgirls while giving a cynical look. Ella looks like a cheap woman who takes two cool guys at once.
“Lo where are you going?"
Ella looked up towards Reinan whose posture was much higher.
"Yes, go to class." Ella replied casually.
"To the cafeteria first yuk, the entrance hours are still a long time" asked Reinan. Ella scratched her non-itchy nape while considering Reinan's invitation.
"Udah, don't think too much." Reinan immediately pulled Ella's arm towards the canteen and the one that was pulled just resigned.

Ella wet her dry lips, the girl drank a glass of strawberry milk shake. To avoid its awkwardness, kq circulates the view around the canteen that is not so crowded.
"Lo Mike's girlfriend?" Reinan made a sound and made Ella flinch. Ella looked at Reinan as she gulped down her dry throat. And what question is this? Should Ella answer honestly that Mike isn't her boyfriend?
"No, Mike's not my girlfriend." That sentence was revealed just like that. All right, this is gonna be a long conversation.
"So?" ask Reinan curiously. Once again Ella gulped her saliva. “Gue is just pretending to be him. Because Mike just wants his fans to stay away from him. See and? The impact looks so good. Mike's fans are now reduced because. They broke the prince's heart I've embat." explained Ella while sipping her drink. Reinan nodded his head then smiled happily.
"Why are you smiling?"
"No, I am still empty. So, can I list it times huh?"
"Gue bogem lo."
Reinan laughed while Ella clucked back to see Reinan laughing at her.
-000-000-
"It's like we're going to the cafeteria both." Tempted Rara when she saw Ella and Reinan enter the classroom. Mike only saw them at a glance and again taught Ditto who was asking him about Mathematics.
"Mike, where's this 220 from?" ask Ditto.
"It's hot." answered Mike quietly.
"Huh? this cold room you say hot? It's crazy you Mike." Said Ditto who tapped Mike's head using his pen. But even so, Mike still stared blankly at the Math problem he taught Ditto.
"No, my heart is hot." Answer Mike. Ditto frowned. What happened to Mike? 'Asik nih if dikerjain' Ditto's inner voice.
"Well..why Mike, is your heart hot?" Ditto while holding back her laughter.
"Wiggle them."
"Who are they?"
"Huh?"
"Who are they?"
"Why?"
"Lo says your heart's hot to squirm at them."
Mike rubbed his face roughly, “Jeez! did I say that?" Whisper Mike who began to worry that his speech was not consciously heard by everyone let alone heard by Ella.
"Yes." Yeah." Answer Ditto casually and refocus with his book.
"Who is horrified?" yanya Mike again.
"Not much anyway, just the class who horrified your speech earlier."
"What the hell is Mike?" yanya Ditto's. “
“No, I want to watch Korean dramas so bring your mind." Lying Mike.
Ditto sneers, “Ah time? Since when do you like Korean dramas?" Ditto doesn't believe it.
"Y-yeah Juli likes Korean dramas, so I follow the watch." Mike lied again.
"Well, you can go to the room." Ditto elbowed Mike's arm while holding his laugh.
"Lo Kek doesn't know July. He won't watch alone."
"Oh... Is that? So it's not hot because of our new partner this morning, is it?"
"Who?"
"Ella and Reinan."
"O.ohh no." answered Mike in a voice as neutral as possible. Mike glanced once more towards Ella and Rei. And gosh! Suckin' nysek!
I don't know if Rei can sassy it in front of Mike. The more Mike tried to be indifferent, Rei's behavior made Mike's chest heat up. Just look, Rei sat before Ella while propping up both chins, laughing, smiling, and Crazy! His look, very disgusting. It could soon be a burst of fire from Mike's mouth. Hopefully Mike can resist the upset, because if until Mike rambles, Rei can be crushed by Mike and Mike's career as a cool guy, at school will be over, disperse, the end, and so on, requiescat in pace.

Mike circled the library with an empty mind. The guy's pacing around like a siskamling officer.
“Si Mike why, anyway?" ask Anna.
“Tau tuh, how upset he was because Ella deket same new boy." Reply Rara.
"Well Mike! Join here. We-we don't understand the task nih.” call Ditto.
Mike was shocked to hear the call. The guy looked over while shuffling his hair
“Come on Mike. What's wrong with you? Its okay.” says Anna in her centil style.
“Mike!” call Ella slowly from behind.
“What?” the man replied, his gaze flat.
“Issh muka lo why kayak duck does not do it Mike?.” Ella was annoyed by Mike's attitude of abandoning her
The girl approached at a very close distance. “Jesus Mike! How do I see there is a fire? No, no..”
“Do-not what? I'm not jealous of the same flea creature! And you don't have to be the most valuable person.” Mike slid straight through without any brakes.
Ella held back her laughter. “What the hell is Mike? Who said you were jealous? Do you have PMS? I bought you Four bottles yah?”
“Sunday lo.” Mike took the step forward and returned to the group section.
Ella rolled her eyeballs. It's strange! Today the guy was acting unusual.
-000-000-
"Younob! Today's practice is a mess! Don't be selfish. Try to track my movements. If you are free gini! Fatigued training has no results! Can lose us!” Mike nagged incoherently.
“Mike lo why, anyway? PMS is severe, right? Are four bottles not enough?"
Mike stared intently, “Gue seriously. If you can't be serious, don't practice. Sana ngedate same guy lo capital idung!”
“MIKE!” ella's voice began to rise.
“Gue doesn't know what you're talking about. But I swear I'm sad lo kayak gini the same I.” Ella's face changed, as much as possible he held back his tears not to fall in front of Mike.
No rain, no typhoon all of a sudden Mike hugged Ella,
“Gue don't like lo deket with other guys.”
BARR.. The guy's cuttings finally spilled. “But why? Don't you care about me?” asked Ella in a stifled voice. It feels painful, warm, but comfortable.
“Gue is just your friend Mike's Ella, nothing else. I don't understand. But all that hurts me."
Ella fell silent.
