Tasha's Pov
I hope Reyna doesn't forget to bring my physics homework book. If not, I will be scolded by Mrs. Putri. Honestly, I would rather die than get scolded by her.
Ugh! I hate this! It's still early in the morning and my class is already crowded. What the hell is happening here?! Gosh!
"Oh My God! He's hot!"
"Is he from heaven? He's so gorgeous!"
Hah! I know why my class is so crowded this early. It's all because of that new student. No wonder why these girls fangirling over him. How pathetic.
But, how come… Wait, how come Reyna is there?! Jeez, that girl.
"Hey. What's up?" I said.
"Oh, Tasha you here?! Let me tell you there is ... "
"I don't care. Just give me my homework," I said, I don't care at all.
"Just hear me first, " Reyna grumbled, I could only roll my eyes and shake my head. "The problem is Reyna. I don't want to know, and whatever you want to tell me right now, it won't have any impact on me. So you better answer my questions and tell me where my homework book is. I don't want to be scolded by Ms. Putri, " I explained. She just sighs and rolls her eyes "It's in my bag. Let's get in first."
Finally, we entered the classroom, usually, I'll wait outside the classroom until the bell rings. It's just lazy in class, in the morning the class atmosphere is stuffy starting from the fangirling underclassmen, the boys who seduce the girls here. And many more.
Luckily Reyna brought my homework book with her, and she told me about the rumors of a "new boy" coming to my school.
The seating system in my class is random, but it still has to be girls and boys. And 2 years in a row, even now I still sit alone in the back seat, but unfortunately, maybe I will get a seatmate from now on. My freedom ends here, I feel like crying now. Okay, that's kind of dramatic, forget it.
I saw a boy who was tilting his head with a headset on both ears. I sighed, I didn't really want to get my seatmate, but what else can I do, in my class, there are no more empty seats.
In 5 minutes the bell will ring, so I go straight to my seat. I used to sit by the window, but now it's filled with that boy, not wanting to cause trouble so early in the morning. So, I sat on the other bench.
"Hi. Sorry for taking your seat. I was just sleeping," he said while showing his grin, I could only smile awkwardly and shook my head "Oh, it's okay," I replied, I swear to god it was really awkward. I finally got back to my throne, and the boy? He went back to sleep, from his face he looks so tired. But... He seems really familiar to me tho, that's weird.
The bell suddenly rings makes me jump in surprise. I hate that bell so much!
"Hi, young man! I don't like my students sleeping during my class hours," said Mrs. Putri with her sour face. Uh, but why she's looking at me anyway? Oh, wait she looking at this new boy beside me, then I elbowed him hoping he could wake up.
And like what I expected, this boy woke up, rubbing his eyes "This is a school, not your bedroom. Wake up," I said. Right after he heard my words, this new boy immediately looked at the front of the class and saw Mrs. Putri who still looking at him.
Then, he scratched his head which I'm sure didn't itch. I looked around the class, some were holding back their laughter half to death, especially the boys.
"You're new right? Your face looks foreign to me,"
"Yes, Ma'am."
"Hmm. Oh well, it's your first day so I'll forgive you. Next time don't do it again. Well, you can introduce yourself to your friends," he just nodded obediently and moved from his chair to the front of the class.
"Hey, my name is Raga Dirghantara, you can call me Dirgha or Raga, I'm 17 years old, let's be good friends," he ends it with a cute smile. Wait, what?! Did I just call him cute? Okay, I take back what I'm saying.
"Very nice. Raga, you may return to your seat. "

Raga returned to his seat. He smiles sweetly when he saw Tasha.
Tasha is indeed a cool and cold-hearted person. In fact, she didn't care about Raga who sitting next to her. It just doesn't feel good to sit next to someone without knowing the name of the person you're sitting with. Tasha already knows Raga's name, but Raga might not know Tasha's name.
"Uhm, my name is ..."
"I know your name. Tasha, right? " before Tasha had time to finish her words, Raga had already been cut off by Raga who was still concentrating on the blackboard. "Wait. How do you know my name?" asked Tasha curiously.
Raga smiled and turned to her, "I was told by the boy sitting there." replied Raga. Tasha followed Raga's index finger pointing at Tim. He's one of Aldi's friend
Aldi Prabaskara, one of the most wanted boys at Tasha's school, his handsomeness can make girls melt in front of him, his hazel eyes that make anyone who sees his eyes drown in his beauty, his tall posture. He is a basketball captain, student council president, and is also a multi-talented person. He can play musical instruments such as guitar, a piano that will make girls fell in love with him, well, shortly, he's the type of boyfriend that every girl ever dreamed of.
Except, Tasha. Tasha's cold nature especially in men also coincided with the loss of Rega from Tasha's life. Even now, Tasha always compares other guys with Rega. Aldi is not the type of playboy guy who changes girlfriends. On the contrary, Aldi has always targeted Tasha since the first time he saw her. However, Tasha always compared him to Rega.
Tasha had repeatedly rejected Aldi, but still, he did not give up. The name Prabaskara is indeed very famous, Aldi's family is the richest, and the source of funding at Tasha's school.
"Oh, okay. Did he say something else?"
"Yep. He told me to stay away from you for my own good, " he replied, still concentrating on his notebook "But, I don't care. I mean, there's nothing wrong with being friends with anyone. So, calm down. I'm not going to stay away from you."
Tasha only replied with a mutter "Okay" and the rest there was no more conversation between them. Although, Raga actually wanted to hear Tasha's voice.
Raga just sighs hoping that one day will be close to Tasha 'again'. He finally shifted all his concentration towards the blackboard and the teacher who spoke in front, while occasionally glancing at Tasha.

"Rey. Would you mind take me to the doctor Natasha's house? I want to meet her," Reyna almost choked at Tasha's words.
"What are you doing there?"
"I don't know. Maybe just talking."
"Do you have any complaints? Headache? Dizzy? Or what? " Reyna asked anxiously. Tasha just chuckled and shook her head.
"I'm perfectly fine. I just want to ask her about my dream yesterday, remember?"
"Yeah, okay. But, we go to my house first."
"Ay-ay, captain," Tasha replied.
"By the way, I saw you talking with that handsome boy, what are you guys talking about, huh?" said Reyna, making Tasha look at her best friend with an amused look.
"Tch. It's nothing. I just want to tell him my name, but, he already knows it."
"From who?"
"Who else if not Tim," Reyna just nods her head understandingly and smiles meaningfully "Stop smiling as a creep will you? "
"I really envy you. Aldi is really over you, he's handsome and he's rich. Oh, god! How can you say no to him?!" Tasha just rolls her eyes
"BLA… BLA… BLA… Rey, let me tell you. Aldi is not rich, the one who has money is his father. So if you want you can date Aldi's father," Tasha replied.
Now it is Reyna's turn to roll her eyes and sigh in resignation. If every time Reyna asks or talks about boys, Tasha's answer must be 'No use', 'I don't care', 'He's not Rega '.
"Hurry up, please! Just finish that Ice Tea will you?" said Tasha and leave Reyna alone.
"Hey! Tasha wait for me!" Reyna shouts, running to keep up with her best friend. Without them knowing, someone was watching from afar.
"Tasha… Reyna… You guys don't know how much I miss u both, especially you, My Princess," said someone with a sad smile.
