Chapter 11

30 minutes later.

SMAN 1485.

One of the schools located in the northern part of this city. This three-story building was built solidly on the 900 cubic meters of land.

The walls of the building are made of steel concrete which is difficult for humans to destroy.

The school buildings are made in such a strong way that, even if at any time there is a natural disaster, such as "Banjir Bandang or Windstorm", this school will not be easily damaged. At least?

That's enough of an explanation. SMAN 1485 became the place where Rio studied.

Rio had arrived at his front page. He walked down the long halls to his class which was on the second floor.

Young people his age were also there. Of course because they also have the right to study here, because this is a school, not a mall.

While the others were busy joking with their classmates, or some were chatting with their classmates, but not with Rio. For now he has no one to accompany him, but not after this.

"Rio!"

The call has been heard. Rio already knew this voice very well.

"Barrel!"

Turning around and looking behind him, what he saw was none other than Larasati, or commonly known as Laras.

A young girl whose age is not far from Rio. It could be said that the two are only a few months apart in age, and Laras is also Rio's classmate and childhood friend.

"Have you just arrived?" Laras asked, after he was running from a distance.

"Yes. Then how about you? Did you also just arrive, Laras?"

Rio asked the same thing. Like himself, Laras also seems to have just arrived at school.

"Sure. I just arrived… My mom was late to wake me up, so I was late enough to go to breakfast," he explained with a frown on his face.

"So you're not having breakfast this time?" Rio asked again.

"Yeah..." Laras whispered, holding her stomach.

"But, at least my dad bought me a piece of bread so I can eat, at least I won't be hungry later in class. Hee."

"Apparently? I hope that piece of Bread can hold it. At least?" Rio teased.

"I hope so. Ha," just a faint smile from Laras, as a sign of his pleasure in this morning.

The two of them talked first in this hallway. Their classroom was up there, and both Laras and Rio still needed to climb the stairs to get to the second floor.

"Rio, if you're alone here? Then where is Lay? Did he come late again? That kid, when will his bad behavior go away. I've said many times not to come late, but he still won't listen."

Laras asked where Lay was, because he had not seen this young man since.

"Calm down Laras! You don't have to be upset like that. Besides, isn't it normal for Lay to come late? So you don't have to be upset with him."

"Who's annoyed with him. I'm not upset with him," replied Laras.

"If it's not annoyed, then what is it called?" asked Rio again.

"Angry," Laras squeaked simply.

"That's the same name," continued Rio again.

"I don't care what his name is! I'm definitely mad at him right now. I really want to get mad at him, and curse him... That kid should be taught a lesson not to be late again."

This is what is called a friend. When a friend arrives late, it is the duty of the other friend to reprimand him.

"Barrel!"

"Rio!"

Finally, what you've been waiting for has arrived. Lay shouted from a distance, while running from the end of the hall he seemed to be waving too.

"Long live him… We were talking about him and he's finally here!"

Laraa already looks very annoyed with Lay. He had his fists clenched, and seemed ready to deliver at least one punch for Lay.

"Guys. Good morning!" he greeted breathlessly.

"Morning!" Laras replied annoyed.

"Morning too," replied Rio too casually.

"How are you all?" While holding his breath again, Lay asked the news of his friends.

"I'm good. Then how about you, Lay? Is there a traffic jam on the road?" asked Rio.

"Sure. It's normal… Every day I have to go through that traffic jam, and I always come late," he explained.

Already feeling calm, Lay began to stand up well again. Previously he was leaning against the wall and had difficulty breathing, but this time at least he could clearly see Laras and Rio's faces.

"You know the road is jammed, but why don't you want to get up early!"

Laraa was so annoyed, "Aaa! Sorry Laras." He grabbed Lay's left ear hard, and made the young teenager scream in pain.

"Aaa! Don't pull my ear, Laras!" she moaned.

"I told you not to wake up late! Don't you set an alarm on your cell phone? You always come late every day?"

Laras really scolded him. He wouldn't let go of that ear tug easily. It seems like?

"Au! It hurts! It hurts!" he whined, groaning in pain.

"Yeah…Yeah…Yeah! Fine. Tomorrow I'll set an alarm on my phone, and tomorrow I won't be late again."

"Really?"

The more pressing and pulling harder on his ear, until Lay couldn't do anything. Even Rio couldn't do much to help his friend.

If Laras is angry, like mothers who scold their children for playing too much at the internet cafe (Internet Cafe), then none of their friends will be able to save Lay. There will be no!

It's no less scary than that. Laras, will make Lay promise after this.

"Tell me! Are you still late again?!" he snapped.

"I won't. After this I'll come earlier, I promise." Lay said it under pressure.

"Really? Promise? You promise, after this you won't be late again?"

Laras really made Lay promise under heavy pressure.

"Yes, I promise!" he simply said.

"I promised I didn't. So let go of my ear now!"

Laras let go too. Lay, has learned his lesson and Laras is also satisfied.

"Au… You are. What kind of friend are you? How can a man as handsome as me be bullied like that? Destroyed my pride in the eyes of all the students."

Lay turned annoyed at Laras. His ears were red like a freshly cooked shrimp.

Lay also rubbed his ears so the pain went away quickly.

"Oh my. You're so confident… Who wants to care about a lazy kid like you. On the other hand, maybe they'll stay away from a guy who always comes late, like you."

It didn't stop there, Laras' punishment on Lay. He also didn't forget to mock Lay, and annoyed the 11th grader.

"You are not cool, Laras. How can I make friends like you now, a friend who only gets angry."

Lay said so. Then she came to Rio, and put her arm around his shoulder, "Really Rio? She's like a witch, when she's angry like that? Khat. It's so scary. Iiii…."

Instead of being discouraged, Lay turned to tease Laras. He, who was with Rio, seemed to want to make the lion who had calmed down, go berserk again.

"Lay! What did you say earlier? Try again!"

Right what happened. Finally the lion awoke from his short sleep.

"Run!"

Lay went to run away. He left Rio and ran so fast to avoid Laras' rampage for the second time.

"Watch out for you! I won't let you go again later! I'll make calculations with you in class! Watch out, you. Lay!"

Laras followed behind him. He who has been ignited by the fire of emotion will not let Lay get away so easily.

It is certain that Lay will be in big trouble for his words to Laras.

Rio who was still standing there couldn't help but laugh. He wanted to laugh out loud but he was afraid of sin, because he was happy over Lay's suffering.

"You guys are like cats and dogs, never peaceful."

He just laughed lightly. Even though this looks funny, Rio still has to think about Lay's feelings too.

So Rio decided to go after his friends, "Hey guys. Wait!"

Rio wouldn't miss anything more exciting than the previous one, so he left from there to chase after his two friends.

"Friends!"

He called out as he ran. No matter how far he is left behind, what is clear is that Rio must immediately help Lay. It was likely that Lay would be more oppressed than before.

Rio was sure of it.
