Something was different today with Bella. The girl became friendly and greeted everyone she met. All this is because Aldi has changed his mindset. She should not be closed and ignore Farel even though she also has feelings for Farel. From now on, Bella will respond to Farel and will not ignore the man again.
At the end of the corridor, Bella saw Farel talking to his friend. Bella also stepped in to meet Farel.
"Rel," Bella called, smiling shyly.
Farel was surprised, Bella didn't usually want to call him like this. Usually, if Farel approaches, Bella will always dodge.
Farel got up from his seat and approached Bella. "Why, Bel? It's annoying that you want to talk to me like this."
Instead of being offended by Farel's words, Bella chuckled briefly. "No, really."
"Oh, I see." Farrell nodded. "Have you had breakfast? Want to have breakfast together, don't you?"
"Did you have breakfast at home?" Bella refused politely. "But if I go to the canteen together when I take a break, I really want to."
Farel widened his eyes at Bella's words. I don't know what possessed the girl so that she became kind to Farel.
"Are you serious?" Farel asked like he couldn't believe it.
Bella nodded slowly, her face lowered in embarrassment. "It's serious. That's if you want."
"Would want!" Farel replied enthusiastically. Finally he was also lyricized by Bella. "I'll take you to class later, okay?"
Bella tucked her hair behind her ear and nodded. "Yeah. Well, then I'll go to class first. Bye, Rel."
Bella waved her hand and walked away from Farel. Farel smiled happily seeing Bella's steps getting further away. The wait was not in vain. The girl had already given him the green light. Farel of course will not waste this opportunity. Farel is sure, soon he will succeed in getting Bella's heart.

"Salshaaa..." Dinda called out Salsha's name impatiently.
Salsha had just arrived at class and was startled by Dinda's loud voice. Salsha sat on her bench and looked at Dinda in surprise. "Why is it?"
"There is good news for me and bad news for you," said Dinda excitedly.
"What?" asked Salsha unconcerned.
"I collaborated with Aldi for the task of cultural arts," Dinda said happily.
Salsha just nodded hearing Dinda's words. She did not really care about the news Dinda gave. "So?"
"Bad news for you, you're a group with us as well as Bella," Dinda said doubtfully.
And as Bella had suspected before, Salsha had to scream hysterically. Salsha seemed reluctant to be united with Bella.
"WHAT?" Sasha shouted. "Who's for the group, anyway."
"Miss directly," said Dinda. "That's the paper on the teacher's desk."
"No way!" Salsha moved to the teacher's desk and saw her name written with Iqbaal, Bella, and Dinda. "Miss Mira again, why is it for her group like that. It's a disaster for me."
Aldi just entered the classroom and heard Salsha's words. Aldi approached Salsha and pulled the paper that the girl was holding. Aldi read it briefly and put it back on the table.
"I don't want a group with you, let alone Bella," said Salsha.
Aldi glanced at Salsha and walked to his desk without answering Salsha's words. Salsha stomped her feet annoyed and followed Aldi.
"I don't want to be in a group with you, let alone Bella. Do you understand?"
"Tell Mrs. Mira, not to me. It's very complicated," said Aldi.
If it's related to Mrs. Mira, Salsha raises her hand. The cultural arts teacher is known as a killer at his school. What Mrs. Mira said they had to do. But if you have to work together and share a table with Aldi and Bella, Salsha won't want to. Even Salsha would not agree.
"Then we will divide the tasks. You are with Bella, I am with Dinda. Later, we will divide the tasks and collect them on D-1," suggested Salsha.
"If I'm easy, it's up to you," replied Aldi nonchalantly. Ordinary things don't need to be fussed over like this.
Dinda who heard Salsha's words did not agree. This is Dinda's chance to get closer to Aldi. During group work, Dinda will steal opportunities.
"I don't want to," said Dinda quickly. "I want to do it together with Aldi and Bella. This is a group assignment, Sha."
"Iss, Dinda." Salsha glared sharply at Dinda. Her friend did not know himself.
"So, do you want to do it yourself or come with us?" asked Aldi with his trademark smirk.
Salsha clenched her fists and scowled in annoyance. There is no way she can do the task, and with Dinda, it is not certain that the task will be completed, especially if she is alone. With a heavy heart, this time Salsha had to relent and join them.
"It's up to you!"

Like Farel's promise this morning that he would meet Bella in his class, Farel did so. Before the bell rang Farel was already standing in front of the girl's class.
"Sal, there is Farel," whispered Dinda quietly.
Salsha looked at Dinda and followed the girl's gaze. Salsha could see Farel standing at the door bravely.
"Who is Farel waiting for?" asked Sasha. "What are you waiting for, me?"
"Yeah, waiting for you." Dinda laughed softly, afraid that the desert that was explaining in front of her heard her laugh.
"Then who are you waiting for?" asked Salsha again. "It's waiting for me, huh."
The recess bell rang. Mrs. Melati, a Biology teacher who was teaching also cleaned up her equipment and excused herself to leave the classroom. After Mrs. Melati left, Salsha immediately rushed to meet Farel in front of the class.
Salsha smoothed her hair and smiled sweetly to greet Farel. "Hai, Rel.""
Farel looked disapprovingly at Salsha. Not Salsha he wanted but Bella.
"Who are you waiting for? Must be waiting for me, right? You want to take me to the cafeteria, for sure. Come on," said Salsha confidently.
Farel did not answer Salsha's words. He focused on seeing Bella who was still tidying up her books. Then walk towards him. Farel smiled sweetly welcoming Bella.
"It's been a long time, Rel," Bella greeted warmly.
"No, really." Farel held Bella's hand and luckily the girl didn't refuse. "Come on."
Bella and Farel left Salsha without a word. It was as if Salsha was not beside them. Salsha widened her eyes at the departure of Bella and Farel.
"Bitch girl!" it's getting rougher.
Salsh couldn't understand Bella's hypocrisy. Previously, Bella had rejected Farel, but now the girl was closer to Farel in front of her eyes, holding hands.
Sasha clenched her fists. Bella had already given a signal of hostility to him. This time, Salsha will not stay silent, if she can't make Bella understand subtly, maybe in a rough way she will understand.
