15. Things That Might Happen Between Us

---The most unexpected thing that could appear in the middle of the sea was the appearance of a new island. While things that appear unexpectedly between men and women are feelings of love and jealousy, ---

The break bell just rang. A group of students immediately raced out of the classroom and into the cafeteria. The long hallway that had been silent suddenly became noisy with their chatter.

"How was it? Were you punished? " Gilang raised his voice as they walked down the corridor to class. Bintang trailed behind, silently.

Erlang shrugged his shoulders while snorting softly. He had just been freed from the screams of the head of the house, who was interrogating him like a high-class criminal. even though he just wasn't in the dormitory at the appointed hour.

"There's no way that old man wouldn't punish someone who was caught showing up so early in the morning."

Erlang doesn't know what misfortune has befallen him until he can't enter his dormitory. The original plan was simple, after sending Maura to her dormitory, he would contact Bintang or Gilang to help him open the door that was locked from the inside.

But unfortunately, he forgot to bring his cell phone and ended up huddled outside until the head of the dorm caught him.

Erlang took a deep breath. Because of that, he also had to take a follow-up exam later.

"Yes, who knows? You are a golden child. It seems unfair if a golden child is punished. Gilang half chuckled, "Ah, is that true? What about you and Maura spending the night together? "he continued suddenly.

Erlang suddenly stopped his steps. Now they were right in front of the library. The atmosphere turned calm.

"What do you mean?"

"Who said they spent the night together?"

It wasn't Erlang who snapped at him, but Bintang.

Gilang furrowed his brows as well as Erlang, who had opened his mouth to refute Gilang's question. Now they were staring at the glaring Bintang.

"Err.. that's true, right?" Gilang glanced at Erlang while scratching the back of the nape that didn't itch.

"Yes and no," Erlang replied casually.

"YOU!!" shouted Bintang. The man glared even more, and his face reddened with anger that had no known source.

"WOW!! I didn't know my best friend had grown up. " Gilang laughed out loud, patting Erlang's shoulder proudly. While his forgiveness washed over him, he became bored.

His friends are misunderstood.

"Pause!"Erlangga raised his hand and said, "It's not what you think. I mean, nothing happened between us last night. She came to take something, and so did I who came just to look for Sella's book, OK. We were late because the school guard caught us, nothing more. " Erlangga explained.

Bintang and Gilang looked at each other for a few seconds, then nodded in understanding.

"Now what I want to ask is, why do you even know about us?" asked Erlang. "And you, Lang. Why are you yelling at me just because it's a hoax, huh? "

Suspicion and strangeness immediately bombarded the handsome man's thoughts. The reason was that Bintang had been silent for a while and snorted several times when they caught Maura, who was hugging another man.

'Is he jealous? Erlang thought to himself.

"Ah, th-that..."

"Bintang!

A beautiful woman ran towards them with a tired face and light sweat beading on her forehead.

'Sella?" Erlang thought to himself. The woman is Sella, a beautiful woman who always fills his brain.

"Bintang! Could you please help me for a moment, please? " without waiting for the man's answer, Sella immediately pulled the Bintang's hand in the opposite direction and left Erlang and Gilang, who were still frozen in place.

"Wow, yet another surprise," Gilang muttered under his breath as he glanced at Erlang, who was already tense on the spot. He tensed himself when he was caught in a strange two-way situation.

'Why did Sella call Bintang? Why not him? ' Maybe that's what an Erlangga is thinking.

Gilang sighed softly. He patted his friend's shoulder gently until his mercy turned.

"Looks like we need some ice. You want to go to the cafeteria?" he asked.

-------The Best Valentine------

-Cafeteria, 11.45 a.m. Cloudy, sunny weather-

The noisy and bustling atmosphere had started to dominate when Maura had just arrived. Iris, as dark as her night, instantly found out where her rogue troop was.

As usual, Luna and her friends took a long table that could accommodate her troops in the middle of the cafeteria. Even their voices sounded the loudest among the children from the other dormitories who were also eating.

Maura sighed softly as she quickly followed them.

"Have you arrived?" Luna exclaimed.

Maura raised her eyebrows without answering. Her appearance has improved because before she came here, he had first looked in the mirror to remove the traces of his tears earlier.

"We've ordered your favorite dish."

Mira put down a plate containing her favorite side dish and food.

"Thanks!" Maura exclaimed,

"Where have you been? How long? "someone asked.

Maura pulled her chair slowly as she looked up and found Gio. His cousin sat across from him.

Maura raised her eyebrows high. Don't blame her for being sensitive to Gio. This was all because of the conversation she had with Bara earlier.

"Why are you here? Your dorm is over there! " Maura pointed at a group of children from Pegaseus' dormitory who, for some reason, we're looking at her with gazes that she couldn't read at all.

Degh...

Maura broke her gaze quickly.

"I like it. People spend my money, don't they, my friends? Instead, he seeks support from his classmates, Maura, who are almost all girls.

Yes, they nodded in agreement that Gio was handsome too, even though his brain was a bit strange and magical.

"It's okay, Ra. Besides, if there's Gio, our table looks more colorful. "

It was to be expected.

Besides being handsome, her cousin also comes from the Pegasus dormitory. At least one level was higher than their dorm. Their future is guaranteed because they can directly enter the ministry after they graduate.

Gio raised his head proudly towards Maura.

"Gio treated us all well today. At the same time, he said he wanted to watch your movements, Ra. " Luna exclaimed suddenly, which immediately made Gio squeal in annoyance as he glared at her friend's girlfriend.

"Luna! " Her mouth is more like a bucket than a leaking barrel! " Gio grumbled.

Luna shrugged nonchalantly, then she immediately resumed her delayed eating activities. It didn't matter to Maura, who was already glaring with judgment at Gio.

Are you watching me? Maura half-shouted.

"What the heck, it's not like that this time. Just believe in Luna. " Gio tried to deny it.

Maura rolled her eyes, bored. Meaningless denial. She opened her mouth, intending to curse her cousin harshly, but another sound made her jump up instantly.

"Are you Maura?"

Both Maura and her friends immediately looked towards the source of the voice.

Her eyebrows rose slowly as she looked at the group of juniors sitting right next to their table, staring suspiciously at him.

Three women and two men. They were from the Libra dorm, Maura recognized one of them, who often passed each other at the entrance.

Maura nodded approvingly. She wasn't a popular student, but just knowing her name, didn't feel strange. Especially with the fact that they are in the same dormitory.

"Err... hello," Maura muttered awkwardly.

She can't interact with anyone other than her friends.

"Yes, you were alone with Erlangga Lorenzo last night in front of the Libra dorm, right?" exclaimed the other.

Her loud voice made several other students look up at her with confused looks, shocked, and stop their activities. Some gaped, some stopped chewing, some blinked, and some stood frozen to the spot with their napkins falling from their hands.

Damn...
