"Okay, today we will talk about..." The teacher was busy explaining the day's lesson. Write something on the blackboard and start explaining it to all the students in the class.
Ray ignored the teacher's explanation and preferred to rest his head on his arm. His eyes were busy looking at Alena, who was focused on paying attention to the front. The girl didn't look back at all even though he continued to stare at her non-stop.
Confuse about what else to do to get Alena to turn to him. Ray dropped his pen on purpose near Alena's desk. First, the girl glanced at the pen that had fallen right beside her desk, then looked back at the front.
Ray chuckled, feeling neglected by Alena. The man again did the same with his second pen. The pen fell right beside Alena's feet.
Elena snorted, annoyed. Take two pens with a heavy heart. "Stop playing around." she said curtly. She returned the two pens to Ray's outstretched hand.
"I wouldn't have done it if you hadn't tried to ignore me," Ray muttered, his head still comfortably in his arms.
"I didn't," Alena hissed. Her face focused on the future.
"Is that true?" Ray yawned. Put the two pens on the table.
Elena didn't answer.
"Why are you silent? You said you weren't ignoring me." Ray said, reminiscing.
Elena didn't answer. Stay focused on what she saw.
"Excuse me!" Ray exclaimed, raising one hand.
The teacher looked back and saw Ray's head sticking up. "What's wrong Ray Dixon?"
"I'm not feeling well. Can I go to the infirmary?" I'm Ray.
"Okay, let's go..."
"My head is spinning and I can't even walk. So, can Alena take me there?" Ray said with a pained face. While looking at Alena, who snorted in annoyance. The girl stood up from the chair as the teacher agreed to her request.
Arriving at the infirmary. Alena was about to leave, but Ray held her back. "Stay here until the health workers come."
"I didn't know you were good at lying," Alena said, curtly.
Ray smiled wryly. "I'm really dizzy. Last night I couldn't sleep because I was thinking about something."
Alena's brows knit together. Staring at Ray in disbelief. "What are you thinking about?" she asked curiously.
"Something that will knock you down."
"What?"
"Why are you ignoring me?" Ray asked, ignoring Alena's question.
Again, changing the conversation. Alena thought in her heart. "I didn't ignore you. It's just that the teacher is explaining in front of the class. So I don't want to be bothered."
"Learning…" Ray muttered.
"I want to go back to class," Alena told him. "I don't want me to be punished because of you." She continued.
Ray chuckled, seeing the attitude of Alena, who was afraid of school law. The girl immediately walked away from the infirmary without looking at him.
***
Three weeks later, the new Oricon magazine came out. The new face of a handsome model named Ray Dixon caused an uproar among girls, especially among school teenagers. Many of them, like the new model's face coded by the beautiful model Leanne Darrel. Some fans think that the two of them are a perfect couple. Ray, who has a handsome face, perfect shape, and height, is juxtaposed with Leanne Darrel, who is beautiful like an angel.
At Ray's own high school, everyone was in disbelief when Ray Dixon's handsome face appeared in Oricon magazine with the beautiful model Leanne Darrel. The reason, no one ever guessed if Ray would become a model and side by side with Leanne. It was almost impossible to imagine all of that happening given Ray's indifferent nature.
Besides the shock of all the children at Ray's school. Some of the girls that Ray had rejected were hysterical with amazement. And some of the men became even more jealous of Ray's luck being able to pose intimately with Leanne and get to know the beautiful model.
When Ray entered the school gate. He is like a terrorist who is watched by thousands of pairs of eyes. From every step he took towards the classroom, there was no one who didn't look at him with surprised eyes. There were also girls who were ecstatic while hugging Oricon magazines when they saw Ray walking past.
Ray entered the class with a cool face as usual. Dropped his bag on the floor and rested his head on his arm. Enjoying his sleep without paying attention to the shocked eyes of his classmates. Neither of them dared raise their voices to ask if the man in the Oricon magazine was really Ray Dixon—even though his name was clearly listed in the photo.
Alena who had just arrived could only be silent like a fool. Entered the classroom and sat beside Ray, as usual. The girl saw that all eyes were on Ray, and she knew what was going on.
Act like you don't know what's going on. Alena was acting normal. Silent at her desk while reading a book —even though he couldn't focus. She wanted to know what reaction her classmates had to the magazine pictures of her with Ray.
"Hey, Alena..." Mika called softly. The girl approached Alena like an ant approaching sugar. "Have you seen this? look… there's Ray's face over there with Leanne." She says and gives Oricon magazine to Alena. Alena was Ray's friend—for a while—and she wanted to know if Alena knew it or not.
Alena was silent when she saw a photo that made her face heat up. A photo of them kissing each other. Oh my gosh, she never imagined her picture of kissing Ray would be circulating like this.
"How?" Mika asked, curious.
"Oh, I-I don't know. Ray didn't tell me about this." Elena answered slowly. She glanced at Ray, who was sleeping with his head turned to her.
"Is that true? Aren't you surprised to see all this? Wow! It's just me, his classmates are so surprised to see Ray model and pose this romantically with Leanne." Obviously Mika at length.
"I don't know..." Alena whispered.
When the lesson is about to start. Just before the teacher entered the classroom. Ray suddenly left the classroom without saying a word. It seemed the man was distracted by people's talk.
Throughout the lesson, Ray was nowhere to be seen. Even at lunch, the man did not appear. As usual, Alena sat in the corner of the cafeteria. Lunch alone without a friend.
Suddenly, Keene and Keane came together. Bringing a tray of food and sitting at the same table with Alena.
"What are you doing?" Elena asked confused. Shocked and surprised to see her two younger siblings suddenly eating with her in a public place. Usually, they don't care about Alena's presence at school.
"Accompany brother..." Keene said cheerfully.
"What?"
"Just eat already." Said Keane.
"Are you guys sick?"
"Don't say no! It's good that we want to accompany you to eat." Keane grumbled, annoyed.
Keene chuckled. "That night, Keane told me that you cried when you came home from Tamara's house. Keane said…"
"Shut up Keene."
"…That you were bullied by someone. Because of that, Keane was worried and— Hey!" Keene screamed in pain as Keane stomped his foot hard.
"Shut up." Keane threatened.
"And what? Keep going, Keene." Asked Alena. Keane glared at him. However, she was not affected by any of that. "Continue."
"Keane is always watching— aw! and want to protect you from the people who annoy you— Hey! Stop it, idiot…" Keene shouted quite loudly. Both hands tried to hold Keane's naughty hands that tried to hit him. "Keane really wants to accompany you to eat, but that person is always by your side. So it's only now that Keane has that opportunity." Keane spoke as fast as lightning before he was hit hard on the head.
"I should have ripped your mouth off so you couldn't talk anymore." Keane gave Keene a sharp look.
Elena chuckled. "Oh my God… You're so sweet, Keane. What a caring little brother."
"Shut up Al." Keane glared at Alena. Then quickly shifted his gaze to the tray.
"He shy." Keene chuckled.
Alena also laughed when she saw Keane's shy attitude. Keane's face was currently completely red.
