Each story has a different laugh.

"Gia!" Dastan called as he approached the table of the girl he called. The man sat on the bench next to Gia's desk.

"Why, Das? The Skala isn't next to me now, so you can't call him anymore," said Gia as she tidied up her books.

"Well, that's it! That Skala, transfer to Deandles High!"

"You already know that. Where do you know?" asked Gia surprised.

Because last night he had a long story with Skala and the girl didn't remember about her friends in high school. If not from Skala himself, Dastan knows from who?

"My informant. This morning before leaving for school, I stopped at Skala's house. But he has already left for school," Dastan vented at length.

"Even if you met him this morning, what do you expect? He doesn't remember you, Das," said Gia, looking seriously at Dastan's face.

"I know, Gi. Even though Skala doesn't remember me, but I want her to be aware of my existence. It's okay if you have to repeat our story from the beginning."

"Yeah, just be patient. I'll chat with Skala, ask to meet you later after school. Let's get to know you," said Gia, smiling reassuringly.

"I know you," Dastan snarled.

"Hahahahaha." Gia just laughed.

"La, let's go around the school! Today I will be your guide," said Sava to Skala.

"You don't bother, do you?"

"No no, come on!"

The two of them walked out of the classroom together, down the halls of class XI, Sava explained very excitedly about the rooms in the main school building. Then arriving at the XI IPS class hallway, many children in this area hang out in front of the class, which is very different from the XI IPA class hallway which looks deserted and there are only a few people hanging out in front of the class. IPA children prefer to spend their time in the canteen or in the classroom.

As he passed the class XI IPS 2, Skala saw the figure of Binar sitting in his class, he was chatting with some of his friends.

"No wonder I didn't see his figure in the IPA area, it turned out that he was an IPS student," said Skala quietly.

His gaze was still fixed on Binar, even Skala didn't take his eyes off her when his eyes met Binar's sharp eyes.

"Skala! What are you looking at, anyway?" Sava snapped because Skala didn't follow in her footsteps. The girl was silent as she looked to the left.

"No, it's okay. Let's continue!" said Skala turning her gaze towards Sava who was standing in front of her.

"Come on! I want to tell you about the library room, as well as the clubs in this school. Who knows you might be interested in one of the clubs here," said Sava.

"What club are you in?" asked Skala. The girl tried to divert her mind from the figure of Binar, the man's gaze really bothered her.

TING!

Massage from : Gia

Well, we'll meet after school, okay? At Cafe Delamor, where we used to hang out in middle school. Hmm?

After reading the message, Skala immediately typed a reply message for her best friend.

Massage from : Skala

Okay. See you there, huh

Skala smiled as she looked at her phone screen. Sava who saw his behavior then asked the girl.

"Who are you chatting with, La?"

"Huh? From my middle school friend," said Skala.

"Oh, I think from your boyfriend," Sava muttered.

"Girlfriend? I don't have a boyfriend."

Sava just smiled faintly at Skala's words just now. The two of them continued back to tour the school.

"Where are you going, Das? You're in a hurry. Don't want to hang out with us first?" Enggar asked when he saw Dastan already sitting on his big motorbike.

Usually when they come home from school, they have time to hang out for a while in the school parking lot. Talking about anything, sometimes Skala and Gia also join in. But today, the man was ready to go home.

"I'm going to Deandles," Dastan replied calmly.

"Deandles? What are you doing?" asked Enggar surprised.

"Want to see Skala, and meet up with Gia and Skala at Cafe Delamor."

"Are you sure you're going there alone, Das? It's dangerous! We-we're coming, shall we?" asked Delo, another of Dastan's friends.

"You don't have to, I'll just do it myself. In fact, if you come along, you'll end up causing trouble," Dastan prevented.

"Well, be careful! Let us know, if you have anything," Enggar replied.

"Sip. I'll take it out first!"

Dastan immediately launched his big motorbike towards Deandles school. He was looking forward to seeing Skala.

"Hey, beautiful!" said Binar to Skala and Sava who passed by.

Currently Binar is hanging out at the security post next to the school gate. While Sava and Skala came from inside the school, they wanted to wait for the pick-up together.

"La, who are you, why are you silent? You're very arrogant with me. You're also Sav, you're really mean to me," said Binar after getting a sharp glare from Sava and his nonchalant attitude of Skala.

"Hey, what you called 'beautiful' earlier, open the two of us," said Sava curtly.

"You should be happy, I said beautiful. Why are you even protesting, anyway?"

"Praise from a guy like you is useless," said Sava.

"Well, I'll repeat it, here. Hi Skala, hi Sava," said Binar later.

His behavior just now made both Skala and Sava uncomfortable, he left the man away.

"Eh, where are you going? I'll take you, okay? Come on!" shouted Binar incessantly teasing them both. But both Skala and Sava ignored Binar's attitude.

Dastan watches it all from afar. His anger exploded when he saw Binar daring to disturb Skala, but his common sense prevented him from doing anything reckless, even though he really wanted to beat the guy.
