"Why are you even smiling, Ay?" asked Clara.
"That means your father already likes Smith. You also like Smith, why do you have to use hate all the time?" said Ayla.
"It's you. I told you not to talk about Smith!" Clara forbids Ayla.
"You were the one who asked why I was smiling? I just answered that. Clar, listen to me, yes! Smith is the same as you and your father also seems to like Smith. Don't because of a little silly mistake you hate Smith! fair, Clar. I'm sure deep down you still like Smith. He's a smart kid and also kind. Never mind, you're good and accept him! I support you and Smith really, "said Ayla.
Clara flinched.
Then Smith entered the classroom, he looked at Clara's face which was still silent.
"Clar, come home with me, okay! Don't go without me! I'll feel really bad for your dad if I don't take you home," said Smith.
"Yeah, I heard," Clara said without looking at Smith.
Smith then sat in his wake.
"Clar, what if Smith likes me? I saw how come he was staring at me?" Ayla teases Clara.
Clara turned her head, staring intently at Ayla. "You mean?" she asked.
"Eits, don't be angry! I'm just asking why," said Ayla.
"Well, let it be if he likes you. Besides, I'm not angry," replied Clara.
Ayla then got up and left Clara. Ayla headed to the Smith bench.
Clara saw Ayla leave. She was suspicious of her best friend and why she approached Smith. It is undeniable that there is a turbulent feeling in Clara's heart.
Even though Clara had said she didn't like Smith, seeing Ayla approach Smith made her heart burn like a fire of jealousy.
"Smith. It seems Clara doesn't want to go home with you. How about you just drop me off later?" Ayla asked, glancing at Clara and coded for Smith.
Smith just smiled.
Clara got up and walked over to Smith and Ayla.
"Ay, sorry, yes! Smith has promised to take me with my father. So he has to keep his promise," said Clara.
Hearing that made Ayla laugh, "Hahaha. I told you earlier, Clar, that you like Smith. So don't pretend to say you don't like it! The proof that I teased Smith just now are you jealous, right? Don't worry! I won't take Smith away from me. why you," he said.
Clara was embarrassed. He felt trapped. Clara was about to run and Smith managed to block. Smith grabbed Clara's hand.
"Clar, there's no need to be shy! I'm glad you like me. I won't disappoint you again. I promise. Every day I'll take you to pick you up. But if I have a problem later I will tell you beforehand so you don't have to wait for me," said Smith.
Clara was silent. She didn't know what to say.
Smith then hugged Clara. Clara's heart went wild. She even held her breath because he was still confused by the condition.
Smith then let go of the hug. He knows if Clara is not breathing. He was afraid that Clara would faint.
"Clar, will you be my girlfriend?" asked Smith.
Clara turned to look at Smith's face. His heart was beating fast.
"It won't take long, Clar!" said Ayla.
Clara did not heed Ayla's words. She was still at a loss for what to say. Fighting the gerona is still difficult. Even though she already had the answer to Smith's question.
"How about it, Clare?" asked Smith.
"Yeah, I would," Clara replied, looking at Smith's face. Clara's lips trembled to say that but in her heart, she was relieved that she had managed to say that.
"Thank you," said Smith then hugged Clara back, not caring that Ayla was there and several other friends who then entered the class because the class was about to start.
Clara immediately let go of Smith's arms. She felt embarrassed if many saw it.
"Congratulations, Clar. You've managed to tell the truth. I hope your relationship will continue smoothly," Ayla said and patted Clara's shoulder.
"Yes. Yes, I'm back on the bench. The class will start soon," said Clara.
Clara's heart was so full of flowers. She seemed to want to sit next to Smith instead. But she didn't want to be seen as tacky. She still has to adjust. Moreover, Smith will also be escorted home from school.
Live today with joy because Clara has truly belonged to Smith. I wanted to broadcast to everyone that she and Smith had made it, but that was too tacky.
The most important thing right now is that their relationship is fine. For him having a relationship with Smith could make it better, because Smith is a smart kid. She couldn't have been shy about asking Smith about a difficult lesson.
After school, as promised, Smith was waiting for Clara in front of the class because Clara still had to gather with the new student council members. Clara also felt flattered because her lover had been waiting for her.
"It's finished?" asked Smith.
Clara just nodded.
"Alright, let's go home!" invite Smith. Then he took Clara's hand. And Clara didn't refuse.
Many pairs of eyes saw the sight, including Raini. A person who hates Clara so much.
How can they join hands? What are they doing? God damn it. I won't let Clara be happy. That's what Raini thought.
Clara didn't realize that Raini was also seeing her. But she didn't care about anything. She just continued to walk along with Smith.
"Clar, you can put your arm around me, right?" asked Smith.
"No. I'm embarrassed," Clara replied as she trailed behind Smith.
"Why should we be ashamed? We're already dating, aren't we?" asked Smith. He just pulled Clara's hand to embrace her.
Clara instead of obeying was silent and put her arms around Smith's arm.
Realizing this, Smith then drove his vehicle. Some friends called them but were ignored. Smith just kept walking out of school.
Throughout the journey, Clara was silent and continued to embrace Smith. Arrived at Clara's house and then downstairs.
''Tomorrow, wait for me, huh? Don't go alone! I don't want you to go alone," said Smith.
"Yes. You should be careful!" replied Clara.
"Okay, my dear," said Smith.
"Hust! Don't say that! Shame on my mother," said Clara while placing her index finger on Smith's lips.
Smith grabbed Clara's hand, he kissed the back of Clara's hand.
Clara then withdrew her hand. "You're said to be embarrassed, even kissing," she grumbled.
"Okay, I'll say goodbye, okay? Have a good rest, huh? Do I need to come here again tonight?" asked Smith.
"Don't worry! Tomorrow morning, it's time to pick up. You don't have to come here at night!" refuse Clara.
"Okay. I'll be right back, honey," said Smith.
