Chapter 8 - Driving Home

Until finally, the three of them did not find any answers at all, they could only try to retrieve their bags with great confusion in their brains.

"Ayla a tenth grader?"

The voice managed to make Devano, who had been watching the three girls who kept trying to grab their bags, sigh perfectly. But Devano didn't answer at all, Devano didn't show a serious face at all, just kept quiet with a completely flat and even cold look.

"Why did you take the initiative to the court that tenth-grade girl? Why didn't I know you had a girl?" repeated the curly-haired boy, who wore thick round glasses—Abian.

Devano just glanced at Abian, folded his arms across his chest, and walked away without saying anything and that of course annoyed Abian. As if ignoring questions is one of Devano's hobbies now.

"Devan—"

"Is my personal business your problem?" Abian who was chasing Devano immediately fell silent, his mouth tightly closed now. "Don't like to mind other people's business. I don't need to report my personal problems to you, right?" cold, and quite painful. That's what Devano said to Abian. Even though everyone knows who Abian is, he is the only child who might feel at home and willing to be close to Devano and feel at home with all of Devano's harsh treatment.

After hearing Devano's words, Abian immediately walked beside Devano while scratching the back of his neck which didn't itch at all.

"Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean it like that, Devano. I'm just curious, you've never told me about this at all and I also don't know anything about Ayla. By the way, congratulations, you finally said that you are not single, yes, even though many girls will cry because of your open confession to the public which is enough to shock everyone, even me! I think you have no lust for girls, I think you just want to focus on your education. Who would have thought that you already have all the girls, by the way, how long have you been dating? How come I didn't see you picking her up? As far as I know, he was even escorted by the guy who rode the cool motorbike earlier, both of them were late for the flag ceremony, and—"

Abian's words again stopped when Devano looked at him with an extremely annoyed look, this is something that was never imagined, this is something that is the most annoying thing the world has ever seen.

Devano immediately entered the classroom, then he sat down. He opened one of his package books silently and said nothing, as if he had completely locked himself away from Abian, and left Abian almost speechless. Abian, who felt that Devano was too lazy to talk to him, also chose to be busy with his book. Yes, it is better to learn than to be hated by Devano, and Abian feels that what has been said so far has been too much.

Meanwhile, Ayla seemed to be changing clothes. It seems that she just found out that the school canteen provides a few pieces of uniform, at least this is safe for Ayla, at least Ayla doesn't need to be cold until after school hours.

"Thanks, yes, you guys. I really don't know if you don't have you," Ayla said with a pitiful expression on her face, she is now back to being neat, and her wet hair is also half dry. Ayla feels quite refreshed now, and one of the lessons from all this is, at least Ayla is not sleepy during class hours because she is quite cold.

"It's better if you just buy some hot tea, and buy "tolak angin" or something. I'm afraid you caught a cold, Ay. It's really scary that your uniform is half dry like this," said Nuna giving an idea.

Intan nodded enthusiastically then she looked at Ayla carefully. Ayla's red cheeks, which had been around for a long time, now looked red, plus the tip of Ayla's nose was red too.

"What Nuna said is true, Ay. Your face looks like it's about to catch a cold. Then you will infect us again," added Intan. Ayla also snorted.

The three then walked out of the bathroom, folding and putting Ayla's uniform into a plastic bag, but their steps were stopped when they saw Devano leaning against the wall, crossing his arms perfectly and bending one of his legs. Devano's handsome face was lowered so that his long hair covered his forehead, then Devano turned to look right into Ayla's eyes.

Both Ayla, Intan, and Nuna, the three could only scream in surprise. The three of them couldn't say anything else, all they did was stay silent like fools.

"Devano?" murmured Intan, who almost jumped because she was happy to see Devano in such a close radius.

Devano was now walking closer and stopped right in front of Ayla perfectly.

"What is it,?" asked Ayla timidly. Devano looked silent, his jaw clenched, looking at Ayla from head to toe. For then, Devano seemed to hold his breath perfectly.

"Then come home with me,"

Short, concise, and clear, those were the words that Devano said before he left. Until finally Ayla, Nuna, and Intan just looked at Devano's departure like idiots. The three of them looked at each other, then looked at Ayla with their curious faces.

"Ay, Devano wants to take you home!"

Ayla looked stupidly standing in the parking lot, she herself didn't know what to do now. Waiting for Devano? Of course, Ayla doubts her, she doesn't want her to be called the stupidest girl in the world, just because of an invitation from a guy she doesn't know and the guy is popular. Does Ayla just want to do that?

Aa smacked her head perfectly. What's wrong with him now? Why is he the dumbest person in the world? Ayla knows that gossip about herself and Devano may have spread throughout the school, it's just that for Ayla personally, her relationship with Devano is equally unclear, and Ayla must clarify this first before she actually wants to be escorted home by Devano.
