"You forget what Mr. Willi's assignment, do you?" asked Lia.
Abel glared as she remembered her physics assignment from the toughest teacher in her school, she climbed out of her seat and went through a bag. While Lia takes a bath, she will try to do Mr. Willi's assignment so as not to be punished.
A minute has passed, Abel was just staring at a paper with a physics formula that he had no interest in that one subject. The girl with striped eyebrows was busy with her thoughts, which only Dani was there, about Dani and herself last night. It was really beautiful.
"Abel, bel ... come on, finish up your task! Do you want to skip your classes and not graduate? How do you want to get married to Dhani if you don't graduate?" Lia reminded herself.
The surge of water from the bathroom helped to break her focus, Abel literally couldn't get the task done right.
It seems the girl had a good idea to avoid Mr. Willi's punishment without having to worry about her task. She smiled slyly, then closed the book she had been tapping slowly.
Finished preparing, Abel and Lia are leaving for their lecture. It didn't take a long time to take a shower, despite their need to in shifts, Abel was the type of girl who always has a flash bath, aka a duck shower. Apparently, she's so ignorant about her appearance when going to school except, just when she meets Dani, Abel will spray a lot of perfume.
Lia grabs the bike key in the top drawer, then in a rash move, she and Abel walk out of the apartment and walk toward the motorcycle parked in the basement. Lia immediately climbed onto the motorcycle, followed by Abel.
Not wasting any time, Lia put the key into the ignition of the motorcycle.
"Are you ready?" asked Lia to Abel.
Abel nodded slowly saying yes. "Ready, let's go!" Abel wrapped her arms around Lia's back.
"What a habit hugged like this. Let go," rejected Lia for agitation.
Instead, Abel rested his cheek on Lia's back. This no doubt made her friend giggle because he felt so tingly. "Bel, step back again hurry up!" exclaimed Lia.
"No, I just want to be like this," Abel said so spoilt.
Lia, who was still in her sane state just played back his eyes and flung the black machine forward. Just a few minutes away, Lia seemed like she remembered something was left behind. She thought about it for a long time but failed to recover any memory.
Abel was still absorbed in her imagination, hugging and leaning on Lia's back made her so comfortable, that she didn't care if her friend was uncomfortable.
"Do you feel like you missed something, Bel?" Lia asked with a little scream.
The roar of the vehicle's engine around them left Abel can't hear clearly enough of Lia's words, and she thought of them as mere unimportant words that didn't need to be minded, so Abel went back to the fantasy with Dani one day in the future.
"Bel, you become deaf or something?" Lia shrugged her shoulders this time and made Abel's grand delusion come crash again.
"What is it, Li?" asked Abel, already irritated, as she tilted her head to try to listen to the words of her friend.
"Do you think you missed something?" Again, Lia repeated the question.
"Yes, I do," said Abel lightly.
"What in the world?" Lia asked her earnestly as she continued to drive her motorcycle as best she could.
"Helmet." Abel answered, touching the top of her head with her right hand. Without feeling strange, she then put her hand back on her knee. "Why, Li?" she asked innocently.
"Why didn't you say that earlier the fact we weren't wearing helmets? We've arrived here tho," snapped Lia.
He pulled over the bike and took it out on the spur of the moment, annoyed Abel even more. "I just remember that, too, Li," Abel said quietly.
"Come back, will you?" asked Lia firmly.
"Come on, it's just a couple of steps left until we arrive at the school," Abel replied.
"At the fork, there used to be cops."
"Let's just hope they don't come there this morning, Li. Come on, my task hasn't been done yet." Abel looked frantically at the street straight in front of her.
Today seems to be a very complicated day for those two high school girls. While thinking about both options, Abel stepped off the bike and took a cell phone. Lia looked at her curious who her best friend would contact.

The warm morning sun shone directly on Lia's face and made her squint as she looked at Abel. Every couple of minutes, Lia glanced at the watch that made her chest quicken in fear of can't reach their school on time. She thought that just for this once ride a motorcycle without a helmet would be all right, they were making time for school to be on time though. Eventually, Lia restarted the motor machine, which attracted Abel's attention in front of her.
"Wait, Li," said Abel, who was still busy with her phone.
"Who are you call to?" asked Lia before sending her friend up.
"Dhani," she answered shortly. Then turn the body back on to Lia.
After a few minutes of waiting, Lia thought Abel was just wasting their time. Why call Dhani anyway? She sniffed roughly, scratching at the top of her head that wasn't actually itchy at all.
"Why to call Dhani, anyway?" asked Lia again.
"No, I canceled it, he's not on his phone though." Abel put the phone back in the bag, then walked closer to get on the bike.
"So no need to back home and get a helmet?" Abel asked slowly as she took her right foot out of the bike.
"No, let's just hope that there is no raid in there," said Lia, directly pulling out her beloved matic's bike.
It only took a few minutes to get to the beloved high school, but time cannot possibly be slowed down, they are late anyway. The school guard had locked the black gate with the Garuda emblem on its midsection. The man in a black and white uniform was about to leave the yard but turned around as he saw Lia's bike stop.
"Sir... please open the gate. It was also three minutes late," Abel belched off the bike, which had not stopped yet.
Burst out of her nervousness, she nearly fell over because stumbled by her shoelaces. "Mr. Jo, we're friends right. Are you trying to get us punished for being late in Mr. Willi's class?" said Abel.
Lia also refused to stand still as Abel struggled for Mr. Jo's compassion, as a high school security guard who was familiar with Abel for being late many times. However, it will not be easy for them to make Mr. Jo want to give them another chance. Lia then approached, holding the iron of the gate with her hands.
