"These questions... have you read before they were approved? The questions made by the student councils are burdensome on one side. I know... the student council's noble intention is to unite the two sides of the School in your eyes. Because I a child-like, I usually make things worse by getting them into a fight. However, don't you think what if they find out about this matter? It could be that they feel insulted by the student council's stupid actions. Moreover, this is a real act to embarrass our School. Okay... I don't care about Pelita Mulya's image. I just don't like the way the student councils use it. They act arbitrarily, and my conscience doesn't accept it."
"Then... is a brawl acceptable to your conscience, Rick?"
"At least . . . I can protect my dignity in an honorable way. Not in a petty way that only losers like them play."
Ricky left, out of the BP room where I happened to be standing there. The moment he opened the door, our bodies bumped into each other. He stopped for a moment looking at me with those sad brown eyes. I stared back at him, but he quickly left while ignoring me.
"Rick... wait!" I exclaimed. But he ignored me. Walk fast while waving to his friends. Again... I failed to apologize to her.
@@@
"You have to retype the questions your boy destroyed!" Aldi is angry.
I obeyed without protest. Because... I feel grateful for this incident too. At least, now the fight would be fair. Now both schools are playing a healthy game. I knew from Sekar that Ricky had blocked him from going to the Teacher's room. Then Sekar complained about this problem to him. I don't know... where did Sekar get that power from. What is clear, I thank Sekar. Because thanks to him, all the things that scared me have been resolved.
"Well... you go home first, Kar," I said. Today Sekar has a course schedule after School. And I don't want to spoil the course schedule.
"But, Lam—"
"There... I can handle it myself."
"Thank you, Lam." here I am, who always acts like an overtime hero. Yes... me, who always works, though. Even though I also know, if it's evening... the possibility of being able to finish this is impossible.
But I'll try. I can't complain and pass everything on to other people. Haven't I been trained like this all this time? I just need a little courage to stay in school by myself. Because student council friends and the others had gone home, there was only the school security guard... that too, at four o'clock in the afternoon, he would go home.
"Cheer up, Nilam!" I exclaimed, encouraging myself.
I hastily typed the questions so that who could finish everything quickly, and then I will hand them over to Aldi tomorrow. Because... tomorrow is the competition, and I hope that Pelita Mulya High School will be the winner.
