Alea was in a dark room that was only lit by a few candles. The girl stared at her body which was different from Athena's. If Alea's guess was correct, he was now in his original body, even if it was just a dream.
A girl wearing the same long white clothes seemed to be slowly approaching.
Alea knew? Sure was!
It was a raga that he occupied for a few days. Athena Charlotte Lunch's.
"Hi, Alea. This is the second time we've met, right?"
Alea flicked her right hand, "No-no. This seems like the third time. Because the second time was that fucking nightmare."
Athena chuckles. "Someone wants me to talk about. Can we find another place? It's too dark in here."
"Can."
The two girls walked through the darkness. Until finally, Alea saw the light in front of her. Upon entering it, the eyes-indulgent sight entered Alea's sense of sight.
A beautiful place decorated with various flowers and a clear lake makes the atmosphere calm. Athena invited Alea to sit under a shady tree.
Athena's soft voice interrupted Alea's attention.
"There's one thing I've covered from you. Sorry, I should have told you earlier. I'm just ashamed of myself."
Alea shook his head softly, "Everyone must have something hard to explain. But, if you don't mind the story, I'll be meticulously horrified."
Athena smiled sincerely.
The flashback
"The coal! I brought you provisions for you." The girl with long hair parsed with a big smile while thrusting a box of supplies to Bara.
Bara just glanced at the box. Without taking it, he left the girl. In fact, to stare at the giver only he was reluctant.
The girl called Bara repeatedly. However, he was ignored.
"Athena, I brought you strawberry milk to restore your mood." Said a girl with shoulder-length hair approaching Athena.
Athena just stared at Bara's back which started to move away and stomped her feet. After that, he left the girl who offered him strawberry milk.
The girl looked at Athena's nanar and the milk in her hand.
"Stella!" call Athena in a whining tone. Their class was empty because the bell rang 10 minutes ago.
The girl who felt called upon turned her head with a big smile.
"Where?"
Athena sat herself beside Stella. "Gue's been rejected again."
Stella puts her hand on Athena's shoulder with her sweet smile, they face off.
"Maybe today you failed. But who knows tomorrow you're welcome Bara. Bara is also a real moron nyia-nyiain lo who is beautiful not kelulungan gini."
Athena smiled again at Stella's soothing words.
"That's right, if the smile gets prettier. Yes, don't be sad anymore. I brought strawberry milk."
Stella that day looked glum. Athena had just entered the classroom and had only glanced at Stella at a glance. Regardless of Stella's reason for gloom, Athena returned out of the classroom with the box of supplies in her hand.
Stella wants to call Athena, but the girl has already disappeared from behind the door. Stella end up just harboring her troubles until she waits for Athena to come.
After 10 minutes of waiting, Athena entered the classroom and sat down next to Stella with her upset face.
"Athena, I want a story. My parents are getting divorced. What do you think I should do?"
Athena just nodded her head while muttering faintly, "Lo be patient."
Stella, who was hoping to get Athena's attention, felt something stabbing her chest.
"More importantly, you help me think of how to make a Bara!" Whine Athena.
Stella smiled forcibly and listened to the story of Athena which certainly talked about Bara.
In the end, he learned not to expect too much from others.
Stella carries a stack of package books at the behest of a math teacher. Supposedly, he brought the book together with Athena. But from that moment on, Athena's mood was very bad. So Stella took the initiative not to involve Athena. He also felt bad about involving his other classmates because it was a break. If you have to deliver the package book first, then the canteen will be full.
That's Stella. He's not good.
Stella grimaces when she feels pain in her knee. The girl with the shoulder-length hair again collected the book that had fallen off. Suddenly, someone approached and directly helped him pick up the scattered books.
Stella knew the man. He is Bara, a man who has been pursued by his best friend. Even though he didn't know Athena thought of him or not.
"Sorry Bars. Don't bother. I can do it myself." Stella said it wasn't good.
"Gue help." Kekeh Bara does not want to be denied.
Stella finally hesitated. He was just afraid that Athena would see them and end up being a misunderstanding.
"Where's it?"
"No, I can take it myself."
"With that wound?"
Stella looked at her injured knee and spat out blood. It feels a little painful.
"Where's it?" Deuteronomy.
"To the teacher's room."
After delivering the book, Stella thanked Bara and returned to the classroom. The first thing he saw when he entered the classroom was Athena.
Athena approached Stella. And without thinking,
PLAQUES
"Lo likes it the same Bara?" accuse Athena.
Stella looked at Athena while holding her painful cheek.
"No Na!"
"So you're the same as Bara? Even talking is not rude. Do you want me to be heartbroken?" Athena said with a disappointed look.
"No, it's not Na! Just help me out."
"NO NEED TO MUNA! Behind me, you keep the same flavor Bara?!"
"IT'S ALREADY NA! I'M TIRED! WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS MY NUDUH? YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT MY PROBLEMS EITHER. You think of me as what, Na?" stella said at the end of her sentence.
"Lo is not my nobody. In fact, even from the beginning you were nobody to me."
Stella's chest suddenly tightened. The words that came out of those beautiful lips pierced right in the heart. Maybe Athena had a point. He was the only one who wished too much to be considered.
"But, I consider you my best friend, Na!"
"That's Lo's business, not mine."
The disciples who had witnessed heard all the words of Athena. When they heard the commotion, they went straight to Athena's class.
From that day on, Stella slowly moved away from Athena. Athena even started to hate some people there.
Flashback off
"Gue knew I was wrong" Lirih Athena.
"Gue knew all my treatment was wrong. Stella was always there for me, she thought I was ready. As for me, even when he's sad I'm not there." Athena looked down.
Alea carefully listened to Athena's grievance. The incident that Athena told suddenly entered her brain and made her become more understanding.
"Why don't you apologize and explain everything?"
"Gue didn't care. The ones in my brain are just Bara, Bara, and Bara. I lost the person who was always there for me. After I dumped him, I just felt lost."
Athena chuckled, "I'm totally stuck." Further.
"At the end of the day, I just ran away from trouble. I'm too scared to face everything."
Alea hugged Athena and patted her back to calm down. Athena returned the embrace. A warm hug that after so long he did not get.
A drop of clear liquid came out. Athena quickly deleted it and ended the cuddle.
Athena stood up, "It's time to go back."
Alea stood up, "Lo's right. If I stay here later, it's gonna be dead again."
Athena chuckles. "Yes already. See you soon, Alea."
Alea nodded and waved her hand. "See you soon too, Athena."
