The white car stopped right in front of the school gate. Behind the car came out a beautiful girl in a white and gray uniform, wearing a baby pink bandana that adorned her hair.
"Morning princess," Devika greeted her.
"What is it!" replied Elea.
"Wow, Fiona is really at school this morning, isn't it," said Elea.
"Yes, El, it seems like you have to be escorted first."
"Oh my gosh, don't be like that, I don't want to be accompanied by the driver either. But how can my papa force me to."
"What are you complaining about showing off?"
"It's good to be you, Fi. You can go anywhere you want. It's not complicated to be delivered and picked up everywhere by the driver," complained Elea.
Fiona was silent and didn't say anything.
"Is it good to be a Fiona?" he mumbled softly. He then smiled sadly.
His friends don't know how his father treated him unfairly. Reasonable. They are just spectators and don't know what's really going on behind the scenes.
Exactly the same but treated much differently by the father himself. And there was nothing he could do except obey his father's wishes.
"Your twin-"
"Shuuuut!" Fiona said slashing at the unfinished Elea.
"Please don't ever tell anything about me and Fania, especially at school. Please don't let anyone find out, okay? please ..." Fiona asked.
"What's the matter, Fi?"
"There's no special reason. It's just that we both agreed."
" Sure, Fi?"
"Hmm," Fiona muttered.
"I'm serious. If you want to talk, then tell me again."
"Yeah, I swear it's nothing," said Fiona reassuring her two friends.

Students are gathered in front of the classroom wall magazine to see math scores. Three days ago the math teacher gave an impromptu quiz in class.
Firda and her two friends approached Fiona arrogantly.
"How come, an idiot girl like you doesn't have remedial maths?" he asked sarcastically.
Fiona who heard this just stared lazily.
"Are you cheating right? or are you flirting with the math teacher?" accusations spread everywhere.
"That's why the glasses are used to look at questions, study! Not to see the lives of people who look happier than you! so that your life is not always envious," said Devika annoyed.
"What's wrong, In?" Fiona asked Indri, Firda's close friend, who looked confused.
"No. I'm just confused, Fi. So, are you really an idiot or Firda?" he asked seriously.
Making El, Devika and Fiona laugh amused. Her nickname is Indri lola because she is so slow to respond to what other people are talking about.
Firda walked out of the classroom, stomping her feet in annoyance.
On the pretext of humiliating Fiona, she almost humiliated himself in front of his opponent.
Firda is a bespectacled girl who wins the class. Since junior high school, no student has managed to snatch first place from him. So it's only natural that he doesn't accept the achievements of Fiona who is famous for her tomboy.
Likewise, the math teacher did not expect Fiona's grades.
"It turns out that a girl like you can excel too, huh, Fi?"
"I'm just a tomboy, sir. Not all tomboy girls are troublemakers!" said Fiona which ended up causing silence in the class.
Maybe they were more surprised because it was the first time Fiona was defending herself.
"Oh yes, you almost forgot. Before continuing today's class, we have a new transfer student from the island of Borneo," he said while gesturing his hand in front of the open classroom door. Erick.
Entered a tall man who had a fairly light skin tone. He looks geeky because the round glasses he wears make his handsomeness a little less.
"Please introduce yourself, son."
"Hi, I'm Erik, nice to meet you all," he said awkwardly.
"Okay, Erick. You can sit in an empty chair. Oh, there's a chair right next to Fiona," continued Mr. Adhi. Fiona gave a friendly smile.
"I'm Fiona."
"I'm Erick," he replied.
"Just relax, Rik. If you need help or if you need my help, just talk to me, okay? You don't have to be shy with me," Fiona offered.
"Thanks, Fi," he replied simply. Either accept the offer or just make small talk.
Class goes on as usual. It's math that gives most students headaches. Only a few seem enthusiastic. Including Fiona, she looks so excited. Especially after getting the highest score in its class.
"I can't wait to show this off to Fania," Fiona muttered.

The next lesson Again is about to begin. Fiona continued the comic she hadn't finished reading yesterday. Meanwhile, Elea and Devika are having fun making love. Fiona wasn't listening, as her focus was on the comic in hand at this point.
Ervin stood beside Elea's chair.
"What's the matter, Vin?" asked Elea.
"You don't want to say something like that to me?"
"For example!"
"This is not math there should be an example!"
"Well, then nothing."
"Why are you like that? At least say thank you, what kind of cake, I've been struggling to find your favorite chocolate!"
"What the hell, no one told me chocolate."
"I put it on your table this morning, isn't it there?"
"Nothing, Vin."
As Ervin rummaged through Elea's desk drawer, he came to his senses.
"Wow, Fioooo!" Ervin shouted.
"Hmm," Fiona mumbled casually.
"Who are you eating chocolate for?"
"I don't know. It was on Elea's table this morning, so I just ate it."
"Why didn't you tell Elea?"
"Who knows, it's from the boys who are close to El. Besides, he doesn't ask me anything either."
"So?"
"If you keep going, it's okay, Vin, just keep going. Who knows you'll find a straight path," joked Fiona.
Ervin sighed in exasperation.
"When I'm annoyed, I like to eat people, Fi!"
"I didn't ask," Fiona replied casually and continued reading comics.
Ervin doesn't care at all.
