Chapter 13 - Election of Student Council Representatives

"Damn... at a time like this there is a call of nature, my feeling is not good". Arslan arrived in front of a room with the words [Student Council Room]. Without lingering, he opened the door to the room.

When Arslan entered, it seemed that all the eyes in the room were on him.

As if time stopped, several girls who were included in the Student Council members became hysterical when they found out that the last member was Arslan. Arslan is now an Idol at Patra Junior High School. Not only is his face very enchanting, but his body is also very ideal, blinding the eyes of the girls who see Patra Junior High School.

"am I late?". Arslan asked calmly, ignoring the hysterical girls.

"Yes you are late, wasting our time, you know that?". Said a girl who sat near Mrs. Fitri. That girl is Cleo

"Ah, sorry if I'm late. I had permission to go to Mrs. Fitri to go to the toilet for a while". Arslan said seeing who was speaking for a while". Arslan said seeing who was speaking it. And when his gaze fixed on the origin of the voice, he was completely shocked. Arslan knows who that girl is.

She is Cleopatra Soedarma, a very beautiful student. Even her beauty made her famous in the National. Apart form her beautiful face like an angel, Cleo is the son of a top entrepreneur in Indonesia. She is the son of the owner of a cigarette company based in Kediri, in fact the company is one of the 3 big earning companies in this country. He is very well known among conglomerates and rich people, even young celebrities in Indonesia. Many agencies gave her offers to become a model stars and actresses, but she flatly refused. The reason is simple, because she feels she is still a reenager and wants to use her freedom and enjoy her teenage years in peace. She doesn't want to be the public's attention in this country, for her that's a hassle.

Seeing Arslan who stared at her for a long time, she turned her face away. "all men are the same." Cleo's mind said.

Arslan immediately walked to the empty seat, after Cleo didn't say anything anymore. He who knew that Annisa was sitting next to the empty chair immediately approached her, Arslan patted Annisa's head gently. "Have you been waiting long?".

"Yes". Annisa replied nodded with a happy smile. She still blushed when Arslan touched her head gently.

Cleo, who saw Arslan's attitude towards Annisa, made her ilfeel. " Does he act like that to all women?" thought Cleo who saw Arslan's attitude with a disgusted expression.

"Since Arslan has arrived, we can start the meeting". After Mrs. Fitri issued the order, all the Osis members prepared their own pens and pappers. Prepare to write important things that will conveyed by the teacher.

"I want to announce something, today we will elect the vice president of the Student Council for the 2004-2005 period, because the president of the Student Council has been led by Cleopatra who is in the 2nd grade, so I decided that the vice president is a first grader. Does anyone have any objections?". Mrs. Fitri said while watching all the students in the room.

"I have objection". Cleo replied, who was beside Mrs. Fitri in a loud voice.

"What is your reason, Cleo? Can you explain?". Asked Mrs. Fitri.

"I will explain ma'am. First, there are some first graders who are not competent in their discipline," Cleo said while glancing at Arslan, who at that time looked calm, listening to Cleo's opinion. "Second, first graders still have a lot of experience in all activities carried out by the Student Council. And third, first graders still haven't adapted to the school environment. So that it will result in miss communication between fellow members, class 2 who are experienced in student council membership will hesitate if led by first graders who have absolutely no experience. Isn't it?

The 2nd graders nodded simultaneously when Cleo looked at them. According to 2nd graders, Cleo has a point, it is impossible for a first grader to become a vice chairman of the student council, because they don't have experience in this student council field.

Hearing that Arslan accidentally chuckled, which was heard by everyone in the room

"What are you laughing? Is there anything funny?". Cleo asked curtly to Arslan. She felt Arslan mocking her with a laugh like that. A first grader belittling her opinion? That never happened in Cleo's life.

"Erm, not funny, I just think that your statement was a little too much". Arslan said while still showing a calm atitude.

"What do you mean by too much?" Cleo asked him.

"Do you think the second graders have experience in student council activities?"

"Of course. The second graders here are all former student council members with important position when they were in 1st grade".

"Then are we who are still in 1st grader not entitled to get an important posisition in the student council, whereas in the past you could. Are you as Student Council President going to take a side with that selfish attitude and do you think you are experienced?. Said Arslan who supported his chin with his hand on the table, looking at Cleo with a sharp gaze.

Cleo and everyone including Mrs. Fitri gaped in shock. Can't believe that a first grader can argue with such thoughts.

Arlsan leaned back and continued his words. "Such a discriminatory attitudes are not suitable for a leader. A wise leader will know the potential of their subordinates. Gve them the opportunity to learn, understand, and develop for the better. Does the student council president not understand such basic things?". Arslan's words were very clear, he was questioning Cleo's attitude which he thought was wrong, just because she had the authority. Arslan looked at Cleo who was bowed embarrassed by Arslan's words. Cleo bit her lip, she did not have an answer to Arslan's words which according to him was the truth

"If there is nothing else, I'll excuse." Arslan, who seems not interested in this activity, immediately intends to leave the room. For him there are still many more important things that he needs to complete. However, he had not yet taken a single step, it was heard that Mrs Fitri stopped Arslan.

"Wait Arslan, where are you going? The meeting is not over yet..". Heard a worried tone brought up by Mrs. Fitri.

"It seems that I am no longer interested, Ma'am. I think this kind of activity can provide me with useful things, but it seems there is no longer any meaning here. There are many important things that I have to solve, I apologize for the inconvenience to all of you". Said Arslan who also bowed apologetically to all the student council members who were in that room.

Arslan also walked towards the exit, but he stopped for a moment and looked at Mrs. Fitri. "Oh yeah I forgot, maybe Mrs. Fitri could consider Tino or Yohanes to replace me." After saying that Arslan smiled brightly, and actually left the Student Council room which was now silent without a sound. Everyone could only look at each other, not knowing whether they should continues this meeting or not. Annisa could only stare at Arslan who left without seeing her, or say a word to her. It made her sad.

Now Annisa's gaze turned to Cleo, who was still bowed, embarassed and anxious. Her eyes showed a deep dislike for Cleo at that time
