"Hi, La," said Dastan smiling faintly at Skala.

"Eh, hi... Dastan," said Skala.

"Duh, don't bother, anyway," said Binar disapprovingly. Not a soft mumble, but loud like someone talking. Cash only Dastan glanced sharply at the man.

"If it bothers you, it's better if you just pull it out," replied Dastan coldly.

"How come, I'm the one who pulls out. You can't go wrong! I'm the one who came first!" scolded Binar annoyed.

"I have the same need for Skala," answered Dastan still coldly.

"Do you need me? What's wrong, Das?" asked Skala in surprise. This was their second meeting, so what was the matter until the man came to his house.

"Can we talk inside?" asked Dastan softly.

Skala thought for a moment, then opened the gate of her house for Dastan.

"Hey, I'm coming too!" shouted Binar forcing his way in.

But Dastan immediately grabbed Binar's shoulder and pushed him back. "Wait here until I finish talking to Skala," he said coldly.

Binar could see the look of hostility in Dastan's eagle eyes, as well as Skala. The man chose to give in, he then returned to his car so said goodbye to Skala.

In Skala's beautiful house, Dastan sits restlessly on a wooden sofa in the living room of Skala's house. The man just looked down silently, occasionally glancing around the room. Waiting for Skala who was making her a drink. A few minutes later Skala came with a tray with a glass of orange ice on it for Dastan.

"Drinking, Das," said Skala then sat on the single sofa next to Dastan.

Dastan then gulped down Skala's drink almost halfway. The man then smiled faintly. "Still cute," he mumbled softly.

"Hah?" Skala frowned when she heard the incoherent mutter from Dastan's mouth.

Dastan was so awkward. "No, it's okay."

Skala just smiled faintly, the girl moved restlessly in her chair. "So, what are you talking about?"

Dastan sighed for a moment. "Before you moved to Deandles... you know what school, right?" Dastan asked quietly.

Skala nodded in approval. "Rome High."

"Do you know that Roma and Deandles are enemies?" Dastan asked again.

Skala was silent for a moment. "As far as I know, but I don't understand why they were enemies in the first place."

Dastan looked gently right into Skala's clear eyes. "That means you also know how dangerous it is to study at Deandles High School," he whispered later.

"Ehm... dangerous? Das, my parents couldn't have moved me to Deandles. If they knew I would be in danger," said Skala slowly.
