Tiffany and Ara helped Bryan to walk to the School Health Unit, it was too early to call the SHU staff, they weren't even in the room yet. When they got there, Tiffany immediately let go of Bryan's arms, she approached the first aid box and immediately treated the wounds and bruises on Bryan's face. From the SHU bed, Bryan groaned in pain due to his wound being treated by Tiffany. And not far from where the two of them were, Ara silently watched the interaction between the two, Ara was just silent while thinking about what was the reason Gio beat Bryan, the man he had just told Gio yesterday.
"What are you guys fighting about, Bryan?." Ara asked, looking at Bryan seriously.
"I don't know, Ra. Seriously. Suddenly he threw his bag at the back of my head, then pushed me so that I fell into the classroom hall. And after that he immediately beat me mercilessly, I didn't even have time to retaliate."
"Ra, I don't know why Gio can be like that. I never knew Gio had such a trait, does he have problems at home that he has to take it out on someone?."
"Never mind you, I don't know why Gio is acting like that. And even if he has a problem at home, he won't take it out on anyone else, Tiff. Gio isn't that kind of person." "Then, Ra. There's no way he beat Bryan for no reason, as far as I know, the two of them haven't even spoken since Bryan moved to this school."
"That's what I'm also asking, is there a misunderstanding between the two of you... you know, Tiff, that basketball members often exaggerate what they say."
"Hmm, I don't know, Ra. I'm confused. Bryan, what's going on? If you're still sick, I'll help you write a rest permit at the SHU, how about that?."
"Well, then I can't see you then, Tiff."
"HUFT!, don't be like that, I'm serious!."
"Um, yeah, help me hehe. I'm just here, my body still hurts a lot."
"Alright." Tiffany stood up after that, she walked to the desk of the SHU room guard which was still empty, then she took a book that was in the desk drawer.
She took a piece of paper and wrote Bryan's name on it.
"Tiff." called Ara who then approached Tiffany who was still writing permission letters for Bryan.
"Yes?." Tiffany answered without turning her head and was still focused until she finished and immediately turned around, but when she turned around, there was Ara right behind her.
Ara immediately grabbed Tiffany's hand and took the girl out.
"Why, Ra?." she asked.
But Ara didn't answer until they were quite far from the SHU room. Ara let go of Tiffany's hand and then after...
"I think there is a misunderstanding between the two of them, Tiff. We can't side with one of them, especially if we've only known one of them for only a few days. Not because it's a big problem he thinks." said Ara who tried to explain.
"Yeah, I know, Ra. But... how should I say it, I already apologize in advance for being so annoyed with you because of Gio."
"That's not what I meant, Tiff."
"Yes, yes, I know what you mean."
"Well, let's just say this. Let's go to our respective classes first. Then we'll meet at the library at break time."
"Alright."
The two of them parted ways, they returned to their respective classes because soon the school bell would ring. Arriving in class, Tiffany immediately put down the paper containing permission to take a break at Bryan's SHU.
"Honestly, I don't know who's right or wrong between you, Gio...Bryan." she said in her heart.

Trrriinnggg... trriiiingggg...
Finally, the recess bell rang, and all students and students immediately came out of their classrooms to the canteen, sports field, library, and toilets. Tiffany and Ara, two met in the library which was still very quiet at this time. They both chose to sit at a table and chairs in the corner of the reading room. The silence of the library made the two of them free to chat, discussing how to find out the real problem between Bryan and Gio.
"Let's do this, Tiff. After school, I'm going to play at Gio's house, I'll try to open his handphone. Who knows there will be an answer." said Ara who tried to provide a solution.
"It's up to you, Ra. Between the two of us, you are closer to Gio, so only you know how to find out about this."
"Don't be like that, Tiff. I'm confused too."
"Emm, let's just say this, you do what you said earlier, then I will also find out from Bryan."
"So, are you sure Tiff?."
"Sure, hehe." Tiffany answered with a smile on her face.
After feeling confident with their respective words, the two of them decided to go to the canteen together, buy food together, and don't forget to buy Tiffany food for Bryan. Meanwhile, Ara, who did not see Gio in the cafeteria, also bought Gio food.

After school, Ara desperately tried to follow Gio who had always been angry with her, the boy even forbade her strictly not to follow him home, but Ara who had insisted on joining finally made Gio give up, he realized he was won't win against Ara's stubbornness.
And now, Ara is sitting on the floor, right next to Gio who is lying on the sofa in a room that is usually where Gio's family gathers if there is an event. The two of them without any communication over time made Gio sleepy and fell asleep. Seeing Gio who had just fallen asleep, Ara chose to let the boy stay in the dream world for a while so that when she launched her action...Gio didn't catch her!
Ara turned on the TV and chose her favorite TV broadcast station, the Spongebob cartoon. And about 15 minutes later, Ara glanced at Gio who seemed to be fast asleep next to her. Ara briefly chuckled when she saw Gio's innocent face when he was sleeping.
"This is why his face is so cute, I want to pinch Gio's cheeks!!." said Ara who was excited to see Gio's face.
The next minute, Ara immediately looked for Gio's handphone, which turned out to be next to Gio's ... to be precise, his handphone was squeezed by Gio's body and also the boundary of the sofa.
"Huh, how about... if I take the phone, will Gio wake up?." Ara hesitated to take the man's handphone because the location of the handphone was not safe to touch.
And when Ara raised her hand to take Gio's handphone... all of a sudden....
"What do you do, Ra?." Gio asked while catching Ara's hand.
