Currently, Nadia, Yeri, and Rafa are fighting in a very messy warehouse because of the actions of the teenage boy named Rafandra. Yeri scowled in annoyance, her hands constantly picking up the balls that fell scattered on the floor.
"What exactly did you do to cause such a mess?" Yeri grumbled on the sidelines of her activities.
"Hehe... I accidentally hit the shelf," said Rafa, grinning.
"What did you say? How could such a big shelf not be seen? Tsk, you weird..." Yeri squeaked.
While Nadia just smiled and continued to help pick up the balls, which were not small in number. Not to mention, it must be neatly arranged as before. It was very tiring, especially since they had just finished exercising and had not had enough rest.
Rafa smiled looking at Nadia who was busy with her activities. Yeri who realized that also smiled a little. It seems that Yeri already knows because her sensitivity is better than Nadia. The chubby-cheeked beautiful girl must have known that Rafa was indeed interested in her best friend.
"Do you want me to help you?" Yeri whispered as she nudged Rafa's arm.
Rafa immediately furrowed his brows in disbelief, "For what?" he asked innocently.
"Oh come on, I know you like Nadia. I'll help you," Yeri said while showing a row of neat teeth.
Rafa was still frowning in confusion he was quite surprised because Yeri knew that he liked Nadia. However, it seems that there is nothing wrong if he asks Yeri for help, of course, he can't just miss something like this.
"How can you help me?" asked Rafa at last.
"No exaggeration. Just leaving you and him alone. Isn't that right?" Yeri raised her eyebrows.
"Just say you don't want to help me clean up this mess," Rafa snorted.
Yeri narrowed her eyes sharply. .actually it is, but doesn't Rafa think about the good side for himself?
"Do you want it or not?!" asked Yeri emphatically.
Rafa swallowed his saliva in fear. Then nodded vigorously. "Y-yes, I want to..." he said.
Yeri smirked. .then glanced at Nadia who was still busy with her work briefly. "Should have been earlier," said the plump girl.
It didn't take long, Yeri started the action.
"Arghhh... Aww...." Yeri groaned in pain.
Oh, believe me, Yeri is very talented to be an actress. .he is very deep into the role. Meanwhile, Nadia, who heard Yeri's moans, immediately panicked. The beautiful girl approached her best friend who was acting holding her stomach.
"W-why are you Yeri?" asked Nadia worriedly.
"Ahh... My stomach hurts. Looks like I need to go to the bathroom... I just ate spicy food earlier," Yeri said full of appreciation.
Nadia frowned in surprise. "You said you wanted to diet, and.. when did you eat? Since you were with me, I didn't even see you eat a bit," she said in disbelief.
Yeri stared. Oops, looks like she's outmatched by Nadia. She quickly racked her brain to find an excuse. However, Yeri had to try hard so she could leave her best friend along with Rafa.
"Ah, this morning before going to school. I ate a lot of sambals….ugh... It hurts so bad, I can't stand it. I have to go to the bathroom!!"
Quickly, Yeri left the gym. Nadia and Rafa saw Yeri running from the warehouse while closing the door a little harshly.
Nadia sighed and shook her head slowly at her friend's behavior. If I'm honest, Nadia didn't believe it when Yeri said that her stomach was hurting, but Nadia didn't want to think badly of her best friend either.
After Yeri left, Rafa approached Nadia who had started to busy herself again tidying up the contents of the shelves which were still messy.
"Why?" Rafa asked starting the conversation.
"What why?" asked Nadia back.
"Ah, no..." said Rafa.
"Tsk, strange..." Nadia squeaked.
Rafa just chuckled. Meanwhile, the girl continued her work. Rafa was in an awkward situation because Nadia was busy with her work and Rafa didn't dare to speak up.
When Nadia was about to put things on the highest shelf, she didn't arrive because of her mediocre height. Rafa chuckled seeing Nadia jumping up and down in excitement.
Rafa approached Nadia and grabbed the item in Nadia's hand. Nadia then turned her body to face Rafa. Rafa looked down at Nadia's beautiful face.
Digg... Digg... Digg...
Nadia's heartbeat was 2x faster than before. The girl immediately lowered her gaze and brushed off Rafa's body. Meanwhile, Rafa smiled faintly at Nadia's funny expression, who was embarrassed.
Long enough they both worked hard to tidy up the contents of the warehouse. After tidying everything up, Rafa heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he found Nadia standing still and looking restless.
"What's wrong with you?" Rafa asked attentively.
"N-no, I'm fine….just a little upset," Nadia answered honestly.
"Are you thinking of something?" asked Rafa again.
Nadia shook her head slowly and didn't say anything.
"Ah, maybe you're tired. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bother you," Rafa whispered.
"No-no, Absolutely not. I'm happy to help you. Don't feel bad for me," said Nadia quickly.
"Okay, let's go back to class. We're already 10 minutes late," said Rafa.
Hearing the invitation from Rafa, Nadia did not immediately answer and followed. The girl was still silent while looking at Rafa with a sparkling gaze.
"What are you doing? Why are you sad?" Rafa asked when he noticed the look on Nadia's face that had turned more gloomy.
"I-I, I want to apologize to you," replied Nadia nervously.
While Rafa raised an eyebrow confused, "sorry? For what?" he said.
"Because at that time I said rudely to you at the shop. I know you have good intentions to help me, and it seems I was the one who caught your good intentions," explained Nadia.
Hearing an apology from Nadia made Rafa smile sincerely, Rafa knew for sure that Nadia was indeed a girl who had a kind heart. Rafa had guessed that it was not Nadia's intention to be rude to her.
"It's alright..forget it because I also don't take it seriously, so I have forgiven you," Rafa said with a faint smile.
"T-thank you,"
Rafa nodded his head, "Yes, now let's go back to class before class starts," he asked again.
Nadia just nodded and followed Rafa from behind. A sweet smile grew on the corners of Rafa's lips.
"One step closer," he thought.
****
Nadia and Rafa are late for class because they have to change clothes first. Luckily the teachers had not come to class even though they were more than 15 minutes late.
After entering the class, Nadia sat her bottom on her bench while taking a deep breath. This time she was really lucky because her cruelest teacher hadn't come in yet to start the learning activities.
"Fortunately Mr. Suho hasn't come yet," said the girl.
Meanwhile, Yeri, who was beside him, was just grinning. Seeing how Yeri's facial expression was fine made Nadia immediately frown in annoyance.
"You're not sick, are you? You had the heart to leave me," Nadia said pitifully
"Sorry, I had to," said Yeri.
"For what? If you don't want to help, just say so. Don't pretend to have a stomachache or something, what if you get sick?" Nadia said at length.
"Ehehehe. Yeah, I'm so sorry," Yeri smiled.
Nadia just sighed heavily and shook her head in amazement in response. While Yeri put on a face like innocent at all.
"How? Is Rafa troubling you?" Yeri asked then.
Nadia shook her head slowly, then lowered her head.
"What's this? is there a problem?" Yeri furrowed her brows in confusion.
"I'm scared," Nadia whispered.
"Why are you afraid?" Yeri asked again who still didn't understand.
"I'm afraid to have feelings for Rafa," the little girl replied.
Yeri gently rubbed Nadia's narrow back. Trying to give calm and encouragement to his beautiful friend.
"Don't be afraid. Everything will be fine. Trust me, if you are serious about your feelings, you have to fight for it," said Yeri.
"Then what about Bianca?" asked Nadia.
Yeri rolled her eyes lazily. Again, Nadia is always thinking about her step-sister who doesn't know herself. It's disgusting for Yeri when Nadia acts like this.
"Tsk, don't mind that girl..don't you realize that all this time he was just playing with you?" Yeri squeaked a little annoyed.
Nadia shook her head slowly. "What do you mean?" she asked innocently.
"Every time a guy wants to be close to you, Bianca will tease him too, right? But, every time you are asked out on a date, your sister always firmly rejects it. Don't you understand too?" Yeri explained at length.
If you think about it again, Yeri's words are true. But what does it all mean? Why is Bianca just toying with her and also hurting the feelings of guys who are serious about her?
Nadia is confused by Yeri's statement. The girl took a deep breath, then her eyes turned to look at Bianca's chair, which was Yuna's seat.
"Where's Bianca?" Nadia asked spontaneously because she realized that her favorite sister was not in class.
Yeri shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know," she said casually.
"Is she true? But with whom?" muttered Nadia.
Reluctant to think anything, Nadia began to focus on her studies. Until the lesson ends.
