At this time, Rafa and Bianca were already in the canteen which was quite crowded. Bianca smiled faintly as she glanced at Rafa, while Rafa looked very awkward when he was in such a crowded place.
"Where do you want to sit?" Rafa asked Bianca because the girl never asked her to find a seat.
"Ummm..." Bianca looked around. Until she found his two friends sitting side by side. "There, they are my friends.." she said enthusiastically while pointing at Yuna and Lia.
"Ah, okay..." Rafa smiled again and followed behind Bianca who was now walking towards the two friends.
Rafa and Bianca immediately walked over to Yuna and Lia who were currently busy eating lunch together while relaxing.
Bianca and Rafa sat side by side in front of Yuna and Lia.
"Woah, look who's here," Yuna opened her voice with a slightly teasing tone to Bianca.
"Why?" Bianca said a little curtly.
"No, it's okay," Yuna immediately lowered her voice.
"Ekhem, why did you two come here together? That's close, huh?" now Lia is teasing them.
"Can the two of you be quiet, can't you? I enjoy meddling in other people's business. Eat your food. Do I need to feed it to keep my mouth quiet?" Bianca's sarcasm didn't relax.
"Aish, why do you seem so sensitive again? I'm joking," grumbled Lia.
Rafandra just smiled awkwardly. This kind of thing is quite foreign to Rafa, who used to be homeschooled. He has never socialized with other people because since childhood his mother did not allow Rafa to attend public schools. Until when Rafa was 18 years old, his mother only allowed Rafa to get to know the outside world.
And because they happened to move to Jakarta, Rafa asked his mother to go to a public high school instead of having to go homeschooling again.
"Don't listen to what they say .. they're weird," Bianca whispered to Rafa, who was now looking at Bianca's two friends with a strange look.
Rafa nodded in understanding. Yuna and Lia exchanged glances as if they understood that their friend was fast in pursuing what he wanted. Bianca is an ambitious girl, she is even willing to do anything to get what she wants.
"Erm, before... We haven't met yet," Rafa spoke in the midst of those who were still talking quietly while waiting for Bianca's and her food orders to arrive.
"Ah, you're right," said Bianca. The girl smiled sweetly and looked very enthusiastic to get acquainted with this Rafa.
"I'm Bianca," Bianca continued, introducing herself to Rafa.
"I'm Yuna,"
"And I'm Lia,"
"Nice to meet you," Rafa smiled again showing his eye smile.
They also returned to focus on their respective lunch dishes that had just arrived and the atmosphere became quiet for a moment. Until suddenly Rafa spoke again.
"Erm, if the two girls who were in class earlier. What's her name?" Rafa asked Bianca.
Bianca stopped chewing in her mouth. Her face changed in an instant. She doesn't like it. Bianca knew clearly and definitely that what Rafa meant was Nadia, her stepsister.
"A-aah, the one sitting in front of you earlier?" Yuna said when she saw Bianca's changed expression.
Rafa nodded in agreement.
"Her name is Yeri, and the one sitting next to her is Nadia, her name is Nada Arsa Wijaya," Yuna explained.
"Ah, Nadia. Her name is good," said Rafa with a sincere smile.
Bianca suddenly stood up from her seat and suddenly made the three teenagers set their sights on Bianca.
"Where are you going?" asked Rafa.
Meanwhile, Yuna and Lia already know the answer.
"Ah, I'm on a diet. I don't eat much, so I'll go back to class first. Just go on with your lunch," Bianca lied.
"Okay," said Rafa innocently. He didn't know Bianca, so he just believed what the girl said. However, not for Yuna and Lia.
the brown-haired girl left Rafa who was still eating with his two friends. Bianca's hands clenched tightly. Whatever has to do with her sister, Bianca always doesn't like it. Not without reason, but because Bianca was always afraid that one day her sister would snatch what she had always had.
Even though Bianca has got everything, it seems Bianca doesn't want to see her sister happier.
Bianca enters the classroom. She saw Nadia and Yeri joking around. The girl gritted her teeth. Then walked over to Nadia. It made Yeri and Nadia immediately focus on Bianca.
"I want to warn you something," a cold voice from Bianca's mouth just came out in the middle of the silence of the class.
Yeri and Nadia looked at Bianca in disbelief. Why did Bianca suddenly come and look like she was angry? What's with her?
"What else this time?" said Yeri did not like it.
"I'm not talking to you anymore," Bianca snapped.
Yeri was a little emotional. If you don't remember that Bianca is Nadia's sister, maybe the tan girl has already dragged Bianca and banged her head against the wall. Sadistic indeed Yeri's thinking. however, that's just a thought.
"What do you want to say?" Nadia tried to calm down, even though she knew her sister looked angry at her.
"I want you not to like Rafandra!" said Bianca to the point.
"What the hell are you doing? Why judge someone's feelings?" Yeri is annoyed that she doesn't accept her friend being treated like that.
Yeri was about to stand up from her seat, but Nadia held her back. Nadia didn't want her sister and best friend to get into a fight. She doesn't want the two people she loves to get into trouble at school. Not to mention, her parents would blame her if Bianca got into trouble.
"You like him?" asked Nadia still calmly.
"I'm just telling you not to like that guy. Why are you even asking about my privacy?" Bianca answered, her voice rising a few octaves.
Oh God! what's with this girl? She forbade her sister for no reason, and she also didn't want her privacy to be touched. Does this girl still have a soul consciousness?
"That's it. I'll do what you want. I don't like Rafandra. You calm down. Besides, I don't know him either, ca..." said Nadia, smiling wryly.
"Whatever. Even if you don't know him, it's better for me..." Bianca smirked.
While Nadia looked resigned when her sister forced her own will. She knew that Bianca had a rude nature, but Nadia couldn't be angry about this. She loves her only sister too much. Nadia loves Bianca too much no matter how her sister is.
"And again..." The brown-haired girl hung up on her words.
"What?!" Yeri snapped, who was fed up with all this.
"Tomorrow you and your fat friend leave this bench. I don't want you to sit close to Rafa. You know what I mean?" Bianca continued, then the girl walked to her seat.
Yeri couldn't stand it anymore, she stood up to approach Bianca and wanted to beat her right away. Nadia pulled Yeri's hand tightly.
"Don't hold me... Don't hold me..." Yeri said annoyed.
"Sit down!!" Nadia ordered firmly.
"She needs to be taught a lesson!" Yeri growled.
Nadia shook her head and looked at Yeri with pleading eyes. She didn't want Yero to teach her sister a lesson. Yeri might kill Bianca that very second.
Until not long after, the doorbell rang. And one by one the occupants of the class entered the 3-1 class.
"The bell is already in. She will be given a lesson by the teacher. So, sit down and calm down," said Nadia to Yeri.
Yeri snorted harshly. Her eyes narrowed sharply at Bianca. While Bianca didn't care at all and just smiled triumphantly.
Nadia smiled wryly as she looked at the textbook in front of her.
"I'm not even given the right to like someone."
"How can I be this happy? keep smiling amid the scars that no one else can see."
"Am I strong enough? I don't know. Maybe so, but I don't know how long this will last."
"Or, I'll end up giving in to all these wounds..."
Nadia's monologue in her heart.
Even crying as if Nadia had no right. What Nadia wants is only a little respect from her own family, if she continues like this. Nadia herself wasn't even sure that she would be able to.
