On the spacious and green campus lawn, there were four female students who had just arrived in a luxurious black car owned by one of them. They were the girls who were admired by many people on campus for their beauty and stylish style. Although many men on campus admired them, they still kept their promise not to date until they graduated from college. They wanted to focus on their studies and careers in the future.
Nicole, Lucy, Elizabeth and Sinta were often called the rainbow gang. Because every time they were present, they always gave different colors to the people around them. These four girls were not only beautiful and popular, but also smart (especially Nicole, the campus star who often got the highest points), making them popular on campus.
The four girls looked sitting on the stairs in the campus yard. They looked happy to be back on campus after a long vacation they had been through for several weeks. They talked about their experiences and adventures during the vacation, while occasionally laughing and joking.
One of them was so anxious with her eyes constantly looking to the right and left, as if looking for someone she was waiting for.
She was Nicole, the smartest and prettiest girl among them. She had long dark brown hair that was loose, clean white skin, and beautiful brown eyes. She wore a red dress that highlighted her charm. "What's wrong? Are you okay?" Lucy asked, who had been watching Nicole since earlier.
Lucy, the beautiful girl with long shiny black hair, tan skin, and dark black eyes. She wore a cheerful yellow dress.
Nicole shook her head and just threw a smile at her friend. She didn't want to disturb the atmosphere with her anxiety. She hoped that the person she was waiting for would appear soon.
Likewise with Jane who had just left the auditorium and walked with her two best friends, suddenly saw a crowd of people who were surrounding a man who was dancing in front of four girls who looked very beautiful.
"Wow …" Jane seemed stunned to see him. "They are so beautiful." Jane continued.
Jane couldn't help but admire the four girls. She even felt inferior with her ordinary appearance. Maria and Denies were also amazed to see the four beautiful girls. Out of curiosity, they finally approached the crowd to get closer. They wanted to see more clearly who was dancing and who was being surrounded.
It turned out that there was Erick who was dancing in front of the four girls. Erick was a student and a great dancer on campus.
Everyone who saw him was amazed and entertained by Erick's actions. They clapped and cheered for Erick. And when Erick danced while giving the four girls roses, everyone cheered even more, especially when Erick gave the last rose to Nicole, he looked at Nicole with love. He has admired Nicole since a long time ago. But he also realized that the campus star was very difficult to reach.
"Thank you." Nicole said with a smile at Erick. She felt happy and touched by the surprise Erick gave.
Erick looked happy and he danced again with joy. He felt relieved and happy. He thought Nicole must have liked his surprise.
Meanwhile, Jane, Maria and Denies were busy watching the interaction between Erick and the rainbow gang. They were confused by what happened. They understood Erick's attitude, how not? They are very beautiful.
"Honestly, I admit they are very beautiful." Jane continued to praise the four girls she was watching. She felt inferior with her appearance that was not comparable to them.
"Yes, you are right. But, in my opinion, the girl who wears a red dress is more beautiful than the others. The makeup she wears is also not excessive. The right dress and natural hairdo make her look more radiant than the others." Denies commented, paying attention to Nicole's style of appearance, which looked pretty with makeup that was not flashy from her other three friends. He was interested in Nicole, with her simplicity.
"You are right, she is very beautiful." Maria agreed with Denies. She also admired Nicole.
They returned with Erick's dance, who did a breakdance again in the middle of the crowd. Jane smiled at Erick's silly dance that made everyone laugh but also clap at the same time. But her eyes didn't move from Nicole.
"Lucy, I have to go to the toilet." Nicole whispered to Lucy who was next to her.
Lucy nodded. Then Nicole left her three friends. Jane, Maria and Denies' eyes stared at Nicole's departure.

When Bara and his friends finished lunch in the cafeteria, they decided to go back to the auditorium.
As they walked jokingly in the crowded corridor, Bara saw Emi walking towards the library. His eyes immediately focused on the girl, the girl who always made his heart beat faster lately. But lately, Emi seemed to avoid him and didn't want to talk to him. Bara felt something was wrong, but he didn't know what.
"You better talk to her, Bara." Megan suggested to Bara who was watching Emi. Megan knew very well how her cousin felt about Emi. "You can't keep doing this. You have to know what really happened."
"Yes, Megan is right. If you don't talk, everything will never be clear." Tony added.
Bara nodded and then tried to approach Emi. He hoped Emi would listen to him and explain what made her change.
"Emi!" Bara shouted trying to call Emi who was walking. His voice sounded loud among the crowd.
When Emi realized that the one who called her was Bara, Emi was shocked and immediately stepped a little faster to avoid Bara. She thought maybe Bara had read her farewell letter that she entrusted to Jessie. Emi didn't have the heart to tell Bara directly that she had to end her relationship with Bara, so she chose to write a letter and hope Bara understood.
Bara kept calling her name and also followed her walking. But Emi instead kept speeding up her pace as if she didn't want to meet her own lover.
Bara felt confused and annoyed. What's wrong with Emi? Does she not love him anymore? Does she have someone else? "Emi!" Bara pulled Emi's hand to make her stop. He didn't want to let go of Emi like that. He had to know what really happened.
"I just want to talk to you, Emi. I don't understand your attitude towards me lately. What's wrong with you?" Bara continued with a tone full of worry and hope.
Emi stopped and slowly turned to Bara. Her beautiful eyes now looked teary, as if holding back tears.
Emi pushed Bara's hand away and left him without saying a word. She couldn't bear to see Bara whom she loved so much, but she also had to end her relationship. She ran very fast so that Bara understood that she didn't want to talk to Bara.
Bara couldn't believe that Emi would act like that to him. He felt his heart hurt and broken.
What did he do wrong? What did he say wrong? What can he do to fix everything?
Megan, Robby, and Tony immediately approached Bara who was silent while watching Emi's steps that looked increasingly distant. They felt sorry for Bara, who looked so heartbroken.
"Maybe she just needs time to be alone." Robby said, patting Bara's shoulder. "She must have a reason for acting like that. You have to be patient and understand." he continued.
"Besides, why are you sad thinking about a girl like her." Tony said lightly.
Tony was the type of person who was indifferent and relaxed. He didn't like seeing his friend sad, but he was also not good at giving advice. "She's just an ordinary woman. There are many other women who are better than her." Tony added.
Megan glared at Tony while also patting Bara's shoulder. Megan didn't like her boyfriend's words that seemed to underestimate Emi. Megan knew that Emi was a good and beautiful girl, and she also knew that Bara loved Emi very much. Megan hoped there was a way to reunite them.
"Hey, is there something wrong with what I said?" Tony was confused as he scratched his head. He didn't understand why Megan looked at him sharply.
Megan just stared sharply and lazily at Tony. Sometimes her boyfriend was really annoying when giving advice. "You guys go ahead. I have to go." Bara said with a slightly weak tone of voice. Bara didn't want to linger there.
He felt uncomfortable with the pitying gaze of his friends. He wanted to be alone and think about what he had to do. Bara left his friends. His steps looked so heavy with his mind still wondering about Emi's attitude towards him lately. He felt he had lost something very valuable in his life.
"I'm worried about his condition." Megan said, still watching Bara's steps. Megan felt guilty because she couldn't help Bara. She really wanted to see Bara happy.
"I'm sure everything will be fine." Robby invited Tony and Megan. "Let's go back to the auditorium. Maybe Bara will come later too."
Megan, Robby, and Tony went back to the auditorium, leaving Bara who kept walking aimlessly. They hoped Bara and Emi could solve their problems and get back together.
