Smirk

A smile has a million meanings. Smile does not always mean 'good' or 'fine'. The purpose of a smile is to beautify. Either beautify the lie or beautify the face. Just like the teenage boy was doing. He smiled at a boy his age. They are around the age of 17. Still in school uniform.

"I hate that smile of yours, Arjuna!" said the boy with an emotional tone to the man who was smiling strangely in front of him.

"Want to beat me up, Adri?" asked the owner of the smile in a relaxed tone.

Feeling ignited by his emotions, Adri lunged at Arjuna. He tried to beat Maurasika's son. While those who were beaten laughed. So, the more emotional Adri. Blindly, he kicked his opponent who didn't even react. There was nothing to stop the two teenagers from wrestling on the soccer field near their school alley, because it was already very late and it was going to rain. The rumbling had been heard a long time ago.

Arjuna is almost battered because of Adri's actions. However, when Adri was tired and decided to rest for a while, that's when Arjuna replied. He hit a sizable rock that he had brought in his bag on purpose, at Adri's head. Adri's body fell to the ground. His head was wet from the blood that came out. Seeing his opponent fall, Arjuna smiled sarcastically.

"You're only capable of this, but you dare to challenge me? You have big guts, loser!"

"Cunning!" cursed Adri before he lost consciousness completely.

Arjuna's smile changed again. He smiled sweetly. "There is a cause, there is an effect... My friend!"

Rain began to fall to wet the earth.

Next, Arjuna left Adri unconscious. His feet away from the football field, towards the place he used as a second home.

His school uniform is very dirty because of the struggle he went through with Adri earlier. However, he was not the least bit worried. It doesn't matter whether the head of the orphanage will question or scold him for his behavior. It doesn't bother with that sort of thing.

Fifteen minutes later, he had arrived at his destination. An unused warehouse, the place where he and his friends made their headquarters.

As the night goes on, the place gets busier. Sometimes there can be up to eleven people, like the number of a football team. There are a lot of characters there. Starting from the loud, angry, to the undetected like Arjuna. Undetected by the meaning, looks like smiling and warm, when in fact it is terrible.

As soon as he arrived, Arjuna immediately drank the liquor that was available. He also plucked the nuts that were there.

"Woi! You just arrived?! Where have you been?" someone sitting cross-legged holding a card asked him.

"Play with Adri first."

That answer made one of the people who happened to be sitting beside Arjuna laugh out loud.

"What are you doing with that bratty kid?"

"Nothing, just bleeding."

All ten, without counting Arjuna, laughed with satisfaction. Adri and his gang have become rivals for their group.

"Jun, you're playing, aren't you?"

Arjuna shook his head. He really likes watching gambling, but doesn't want to take part in the game.

"Sissy!" they smirked at the same time.
