I'll Tell It Later

"What are you looking at?" I interrogated her, "I have seen you doing this many times today."

"Many times? I think I'm only looking at clouds in the sky today," she answered.

Fransisca must be laying because she wasn't looking at me for seconds. Nelly just looked at our conversation for a while and then continued her activity.

"Oh yes, in other hand, I like to read some fiction books," I lied.

"Fictional books? What kind?" She asked seriously.

"Little House on The Prairie."

Right after I answered that, Nelly stopped writing and looked at me. She seemed to be thinking about something.

I threw my eyes at her, "What's wrong with it?"

"Little House on The Prairie, huh?" She asked, "Those old?"

"Yes, the Little House Series," I uttered, "The Nomadic but classic continuing story."

"That was kind of nice series."

"Yes, but sometimes the story goes dark when it is winter or night," I commented.

While we're talking about that, Fransisca looked at the corner of the schoolyard again. It was like a tsundere in mangas.

I tried to bring her back to the talk, "But I also like to read some other books."

Fransisca threw her eyes at me, "What books? It must be something like mangas or comics."

I smirked, "Why do you think that I like to read those?"

"Because you're male," she answered, "and some of my old schoolmates including my brother love to."

"But I'm not going to go that far," I mouthed.

"Yeah, I know, but let's continue it," she smiled, "What is your favourite after logical books like dictionary and encyclopedia?"

"He already said that he like to read manga," Nelly answered, "but it's come from different universe."

I puffed, "So let me tell what is my favourite genre of manga."

They paid their attention at me, ready for my answer. But at the same time, I saw Maria walking from the corner of the schoolyard.

Once Nelly knew that, she threw her eyes at me angrily. It was like instructing me to copy her writing as we were doing the task.

Before I completed reading Nelly version of the answer for first assessment, they came back again. Maria walked with Bonaventure to us, seemed to be a mistake.

"Hello again," she yelled, "where have you been so far?"

"Not so far," Nelly answered.

"We just going to choose which version of answer better," I added.

"And what have Fransisca been doing?" Bonaventure asked.

She seemed to be didn't have any idea with it. Before threw her eyes at Bonaventure, she looked at me first like instructing me to help.

I didn't have any idea why she did that. But Nelly still there and it goes like a time distortion.

"I'm clarifying these statements," Fransisca looked at my writing she already copied before, "they're making different versions of answer."

"Well yes, but actually no," I mouthed.

Bonaventure looked at me, "What do you mean, Norbert?"

"Literally she not just clarifying those," I uttered, "she also helped Nelly with her version."

"And what can we do?"

"Check it or copy it," Nelly answered.

"Uh, oh, really? We just need to copy them?" Maria asked happily.

"Take it or leave it," I spoke out, "that's the rule we always use for ages."

"But that was a meme," Bonaventure said.

"Never mind it."

"Let's just copy the rest writing then," Maria said, "even though it boring."

"Okay you may copy it now," I said.

Right after I said that, they were writing our answer on their book. Literally they were copying ours.

They finished copying it after some minutes. If my calculation was not wrong, we should still have many times left.

The only one who was wearing a watch was Fransisca. I may got known the time from her.

"It's all finished right?" I brought up the talk, "do we have free time?"

As I wished, she took a look at her watch, "Yes, around fifteen minutes before we have to get back to the class."

"So what shall we do?" Nelly asked.

None of us were having great idea to share at the moment. Nevertheless, Maria is a hard person to guess, I already heard that from her uncle.

"How many friends do you have?" Maria threw a question on us.

"Who are you asking to?" Nelly spoke.

"Surely all of you," Maria puffed, "because if I aren't mentioning the name,"

"You don't need to explain further," I skipped her spoke.

"But she asked for it."

"And you already given word 'you' which is can used as singular."

"Whoa, you are the one who make it further, Norbert," Nelly uttered, "you continue explain it by saying iy."

I smirked, "Well yes, that is a great idea."

After we spoke, the group went silent again. At the moment, I almost be able to listen to other group nearby.

When I threw my eyes to where I heard the sound, there wasn't anyone. They were farther than their sounds.

Someone tapped on my shoulder like instructing me to look backward. I thought it must was Nelly because she sat right beside where I was sitting.

When I took a look, nobody was there. Only Fransisca left there so she must be who tapped on my shoulder.

"Where are they going to?" I brought up a talk.

Fransisca puffed, "For them who finished their task allowed to get back to the class."

"And what?" I mouthed, "We leaved there?"

"NOT! surely not!" She yelled at me, "I waited here for you to move."

"Wait for me?"

"Yes, that is, you are the reason," she answered, "we have to gathered at the class together, not separated."

"I know it," I puffed, "Let's just move."

Right after I said it, I stood up and grabbed my books in my hand. She started walking following Maria, Nelly, and Bonaventure.

In other words, we were leaving the assignment quickly. However, it seemed Alexa group also going to finish because they started writing quietly.

When I looked forward again, only Maria and Fransisca were there. I didn't see Nelly and Bonaventure around.

"Hey, only us left?" I asked.

"Something like that," Fransisca answered.

Right after she answered, she stepped backwards. Maria noticed that, but she continued walking and looked like catching others.

Just some seconds afterward, Maria disappeared from the scene. When I looked backward again, not much could be see.

At the moment, Fransisca was walking in front of me. I could notice that she was shorter than me and her head was just as tall as my shoulder.

Right after we passed Dezensano room and stood in front of Patengola, an accident happened. She stopped so I accidentally crashed into her.

My front body and her back body meet, even it was turning into manga like story. As quickly, she stepped ahead and took a look at me embarrassingly.

"I'm sorry for stopped suddenly," she apologized.

"Not a big deal enough," I smirked, there was a water pond forward."

She nodded and threw her eyes to look around. I continued stepping.

"Do you know why do I threw my eyes off?" She asked me.

"Not at all cost," I answered, "why then?"

"Never mind, I will talk about it later."
