Clara was silent for a moment. She was embarrassed that she had misunderstood Smith.
"Hello, Clara?" called Smith over the phone.
"Oh yes?" said Clara.
"Oh, I thought you were asleep. Well when you're sleepy, you go to sleep! I'll hang up first. Good night," Smith then hung up the phone.
Clara was still unmoved. There is regret for being overconfident. She felt that Smith must be angry with him right now.
"Yeah, well. I'll see you tomorrow," she muttered.
Clara then tried to close her eyes to sleep. But it hasn't worked. She was still contemplating whether Smith was mad at him or not.
Clara begins to realize that she likes Smith. It's just too expensive.
The next day when Clara waited for Smith's arrival, she got a message from Smith.
[Clar, sorry! Because today I can't pick you up and drop you off. I have other interests. You be careful on the road, yes! See you again!]
The short message Clara received made Clara feel sad. The day that was awaited to meet with Smith to be able to melt the atmosphere, Smith could not come. And why did Smith say goodbye? Did Smith also not go to school today? Many questions appeared in Clara's mind.
After saying goodbye to her mother, Clara then went to school by taking public transportation. Just like before with Smith.
Today was so different from usual. If Clara usually relaxes by taking public transportation when she goes to school, today she is quite anxious. No longer holding books to wait for the time to arrive. Clara just continued to pay attention to the road to get to school immediately.
Arriving at school, Clara saw that Smith's seat was still empty. Though usually Smith always comes early before Clara.
"Clar, what's wrong with you?" asked Ayla who happened to notice Clara who was looking around near the Smith bench.
"Oh, you, Ay. It's okay," Clara answered awkwardly and sat down in her chair.
"How is it with Smith? It must be happy, isn't it?" asked Ayla idly.
Clara didn't answer. Didn't even hear Ayla's question.
"Hey what is wrong with you?" asked Ayla while patting Clara's shoulder.
"Eh. You just surprised me, Ay," said Clara, surprised.
"Smith where? How come you don't usually come," Ayla asked.
"Well, I also don't know. Earlier he said he couldn't pick me up and he said he'd see you. So I was confused about where he was," answered Clara.
"Oh, so you were daydreaming because you didn't hear from Smith, huh? No wonder you don't focus like this," said Ayla.
Until the lesson started, it turned out that Smith did not come to school. It means that Smith didn't go to school today. Clara also doesn't know where Smith went? Why not tell her.
Meanwhile, Raini watched Clara from a distance.
"Clar, if you look at you, why are you getting annoying. I feel like I want to destroy you," said Raini.
Just then, Raini took mineral water. Then walked over to Clara who was dreaming. Raini then spills water on Clara's uniform.
"Ouch," Clara moaned.
Several students also noticed Clara who was wet because of Raini's actions.
"Oops, sorry! Not on purpose," said Raini.
"You are not working, Raini! Why did you splash me with water? If you must be angry when you get splashed with water," Clara asked annoyed.
"I already said I didn't mean to, didn't I?" Raini said without guilt.
"Don't pretend you are, Raini! I know you accidentally splashed the water on my uniform?" replied Clara.
"So you already know? Then why to ask?" said Raini.
Clara wanted to reply. But to serve Raini seems like a waste of time.
"Why? You want to reply?" cried Raini.
Clara just stared at Raini's face. Try to be patient and calm down. "No. I don't want to get my hands dirty for stupid things," she said and then left Raini.
Raini just smiled sarcastically. "How arrogant of you, Clar," she muttered.
Some students also shouted at Raini. But Raini didn't seem embarrassed and instead returned their taunts. She then left the science building.
Clara headed to the bathroom to try to dry her wet clothes. Her classmate happened to see Clara's wet clothes.
"Clar, why are your clothes so wet?" Audrey asked.
"It's okay. Raini was just splashing my clothes," said Clara.
Audrey had a crush on Clara for a long time, she just tried to approach her but was always rejected by Clara. Moreover, Audrey also knows that Clara and Smith are currently in a relationship. But it just so happened that Smith didn't come to school today.
"Clar, it's easy for you to accept Smith. I've always liked you you never paid attention to me. What's so special about Smith in your eyes?" Audrey asked.
Clara looked. "I'm not the best for you, Drey," he said.
"You are too good for me. I've liked you for a long time. You know that too, right? But you never once paid attention to me," replied Audrey.
"I told you if you can get a better girl than me, Drey," Clara said.
Audrey felt dark eyes. Seeing Clara who was busy drying her clothes and the atmosphere around the bathroom was quite quiet.
Audrey then grabbed Clara's hand and pushed Clara's body against the wall. Clara jerked her body as if carried by the wind. Right in front of her face Audrey then devoured Clara's lips. Clara tried to rebel. But because of Audrey's strong grip, Clara couldn't do anything.
Suddenly Audrey fell to the ground. Clara opened her eyes and saw that Smith was there.
"You impudent Audrey! How dare you treat my love like that. I'll finish you off!" said Smith then grabbed Audrey's collar and hit Audrey's face in anger.
Clara looked away from them. She still felt shocked because Audrey was treated indecently.
The teacher came to intervene between Smith and Audrey.
"Hey, stop it! You guys fought at school. Smith! You just arrived at school already making a mess. I didn't think you could do something like this. Come with me to the office!" shouted the teacher.
"Wait, sir. I'm doing this because Audrey has abused Clara. I can't accept that my girlfriend is needed like that. Even you look at Clara in shock now," said Smith in a loud voice. He didn't accept Clara being treated like that by Audrey.
