Have you ever been lazy at school because you were despised by friends?
Like a girl currently standing beside the podium alone. She looked down unable to accept the sun's rays that were so stinging.
Even though she had been silent all along without a word or any action. But because of that, all the students who attended the Monday morning ceremony protested against the teacher on the Student Council committee. Until last year's Student Council stepped in to secure the students who were getting more and more agitated.
When it calmed down, Mrs. Rani as the student council supervisor stood on the podium to convey a few things. Everything she had said made perfect sense, but still the students disagreed on that. More precisely, they do not want to accept.
The crowd of students dispersed after they were declared soundly defeated in the argument. Finally forced to accept a unilateral decision by this year's student council supervisor.
Meanwhile a girl who was the cause of the commotion remained calm. Those beautiful light brown eyes stared at the handsome young man who was in the same grade as her at this school.
Both of them shook hands and promised to make school successful together. Do not forget also the documentation section of photographing the moment.
The girl whose full name is Eva Nur Shafaah is silent. Slightly looked up to see the handsome face of his interlocutor. Its petals narrowed in the morning sun.
"Many say that I and you are the opposite. I'm the one who's known as a shy girl and not good at getting along. Meanwhile, you're a cold guy and don't care about those around you."
Pause. At this time, Eva was trying to regulate her heartbeat, which was racing too fast, for whatever reason. Eva, who is less sociable, only had four friends in her life. All are of the same sex. So to be honest, this is the first time Eva has spoken this deeply to a boy.
Feeling that the girl in front of him did not continue her interrupted speech, the pure white and reddish-skinned boy whose full name is Brian Adam Girikan raised an eyebrow and looked down so he could see her.
"So?" Adam's deep voice finally aired.
The thing that broke Eva's daydreams instantly. Standing face to face like this made the difference in their skin color stand out. Eva who is olive is slightly brownish and the boy is pure white. Eva is a bit pug while the guy is blessed with a sharp nose. Thick black eyebrows and eyelashes. It's so beautiful combined with her milky white skin. Even so, he always looks cool all the time. When exercising, his sixpack stomach is so clearly printed by sweat. He is a mighty stud even though his skin is as white as milk.
Ending the thought of self-comparison, Eva took a deep breath then exhaled slowly. Still trying to stay calm. Do not want to look nervous to act stupid in front of Adam.
"So how can we work together in totality to make the school successful when we are opposites?"
Adam snorted. "We can work professionally."
Eva immediately understood. The girl nodded slowly. It turns out like this, huh? The professional that Adam meant was not to involve personal matters with the Student Council project that they would work on in the future.
Staring at the boy's face, Eva didn't want this conversation to end here. She wanted more. For some obvious reason. Her weakness of not being able to get along often makes Eva awkward when she is in a relationship with someone. Instantly a feeling of uneasiness enveloped her soul even though Eva had tried her best.
And now Eva is trying to deny it all. Don't want to mess up this project with miscommunication because she's bad at socializing.
"Are you okay?" Eva asked cautiously.
Adam winced at this. The white-skinned boy shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know what you're talking about."
That phrase made Eva wince softly. Eva reluctantly explained. "What's been predicted as a Student Council President is you. But at the time of the inauguration it was me who was promoted and you stepped down."
Eva noticed that the boy's expression had not changed since earlier. Remain faithful to show a flat face. "You'd better think about your own fate in the future. I think your heart still functions to make you feel pain. Your position is not wanted here. You understand?"
"Yeah, I'm hated by the same circle," said Eva gloomily. "The circle is one school," he continued. But this time a thin smile perched beautifully on her peach lips.
The thing that made Adam stunned. How could that girl smile when it was clear students rejected her existence. Who's do not know? Eva is a scholarship student. She was orphaned because her father had died. Her mother worked as a cake seller in the market. Eva's background is too low when compared to students from Taruna Bangsa, who incidentally are the children of wealthy businessmen.
If Eva became Student Council President, they all would not want to be under the poor girl's power. Even compact to become a dissident student and no longer care about the current student council policies.
The conflict they did in the field earlier was opposed by Mrs. Rani so that all the students were completely defeated and ran out of arguments to fight back. Because basically Eva deserves to hold this position.
Adam sighed. "Proud you are hated at school?"
The girl's beautiful light brown eyes finally stared intently at her interlocutor. Against Adam who was bombarding sarcastic expressions at her all along.
"I never registered to be a student council but was appointed directly by Mrs. Rani. Those who shouted in the field for the failure of my inauguration as Student Council President finally kept silent, right? You know what that means? Because no one deserves to hold this position except me! "
After that Eva moved away from there leaving Adam who was amazed to hear Eva's arrogant words earlier. At this point, Adam seems to have come to a conclusion. The reason Eva didn't have many friends aside from that she wasn't good at socializing, the girl also couldn't put the brakes on her mouth to maintain friendliness towards others. Look at those peach lips. In one meeting she was able to make a timid cat voice, then nervous, then smiled faintly, until earlier she had uttered sharp words piercing the heart.
Even though Eva is economically poor, she upholds self-esteem. She never flinched one bit. They were proud of their parents' wealth, so Eva was proud of her own abilities!
So, who is more qualified?
***
A girl wearing a Taruna Bangsa High School uniform, wearing a pashmina covering her head in her signature style, which is wrapped around her neck and tied neatly at the back, is standing in front of a door marked 'XII IPS 2'. In her arms was an list absence.
The door closed into silence. Almost all of TB SMA's rooms are designed to be soundproof. This class is one of them.
The girl who was the new Student Council President pressing the door knob. Without a greeting he opened it slowly to cause a squeak. The voice that succeeded in attracting attention so that the previously noisy classroom atmosphere suddenly became silent with a unified gaze fixed on the entrance.
"Shit! I thought it was the teacher!" One of the girls wearing a maroon bandana who happened to be sitting at the very front near the door swore. It's cynical.
"You are not alone, Bro!" The guy with the tie tied around his forehead answered. His hand patted the girl's shoulder preoccupiedly who immediately received a glare from her.
"Don't touch me, Fuck!"
"Very sensitive. Are you menstruating?"
"None of your business!"
All right, the room is buzzing again. Eva finished watching the drama. He glanced around. Finding no one paying attention to her.
"Step aside!" A deep voice with a haughty intonation greeted Eva's ears. Before she could look back, her body was already staggered. Almost fell down if only Eva was not quick to balance herself.
Seconds later the most powerful boy in this school just passed him by. Followed by this well-known gang member throughout South Jakarta who is under the control of the guy earlier. His name is Artanabil Hibrizi. The leader of the Kompeni gang, the legendary one who has been around for half a century. In addition, he is also the grandson of Arif Wijaya, the owner of SMA Taruna Bangsa. A favorite school that is the target of students, teachers and parents.
All of them are competing to get their children into this most prestigious school in Indonesia. Not an international school, but its achievements spread throughout the world. Not infrequently in world-class competitions, Taruna Bangsa is the school with the most delegates representing Indonesia.
The entry of the core members of the Company into this class really caught everyone's attention.
"Your body is tiny? Did you touch it straight away, didn't you stagger?" Adelion Bramasta, a guy who is often called Yoyon, voiced a question with a distinctive sound that is currently viral on the TikTok application.
"No?!" He screamed hysterically. "Ahh weak!!" In order to deepen his role, after saying that Yoyon immediately began dancing pargoy to manual music that came out of his own mouth.
The boy with the position of deputy leader of the Kompeni gang, whose full name is Reza Pahlevi, who was standing next to Yoyon, immediately slammed the boy's stubbornness. "No need to sigh Stupid!!"
