The basketball court was attended by eight students who seemed ready to compete.
That smirk lit up one of them's faces
"Are you ready to fight me?" Said ray to raka
"I'm always ready" said raka calmly
"Okay, let's play now."
"but, there are conditions to lose" ray upped his eyebrows.
"You want to bet?"
"If you lose you should dare to date a girl from class who just won the math Olympics"
"You mean alyssa?"
"Yep, and it must be symptomin that relationship for 3 months" the ray seemed to think
"Okay, I agree if you lose you also have to date alyssa"
"Okay."
Raka is giving his smirky smile, this is the fourth time raka has picked up the match and raka and his friends have always won.
The match has been going on for a while, and even the score is now the same, the time is running out, then...
"Ohh shit!"
Said raka, and the ray smiled triumphantly
"Do as you're told, if you think you're a man, if you don't do it, you're a coward."
"Yes, I'll follow you as promised."
"Good" said the ray, then left raka and his friends
He ruffled his hair in frustration
"Are you sure? "Ask alvin
"So it's only been three months?"

The four girls who were seriously eating their food suddenly stopped when the ray came and sat in front of alyssa.
Ray gazes at alyssa as she backs his smile, only gluming at her and then back to eat her meal
"You're pretty, but too choosy and arrogant"
Said ray, then got out of his seat and left alyssa and her friends. Alyssa was stunned when she heard what the man had said
"Don't listen to ray, just think of him as a bit dizzy from physics" said shilla next to alyssa, she responds to her with a smile. Then he turned to look outside the canteen where the guy went.
"Alyssa, don't think about what ray is saying, and you didn't say no yesterday, you wouldn't want a rough guy like him" this time, icha doing the talking.
All she did was smile at the words of her friends.
4 men casually walk into the canteen, once there was a moment of silence, it was the usual view for them.
They casually walk over to one of the dining tables at the corner of the canteen
"Never mind this" icha murmured
Shilla would like to comment as the man sits at his table
"No empty seats"
Said one of the men.
Gabriel looked at raka and as if he were communicating telepathically 'come on raka you can make it' his message, he looked at gabriel and nodded as if he understood what he was saying only through his eyes.
"Alyssa" She looked at raka, and raka could see how nervous she was
"ya?"
"I want to talk to you about something"
The girl looked confused, raka who had seen her suppressed her smile because suho thought it was a cute expression
"What to say?"
"Alyssa, I know you don't know me at all, but I've admired you for so long, I love you, I want you to be my girl"
Raka would hope in his heart that the girl would refuse him even if his hope only 10%. Alyssa blinked again and again, while her friends looked at raka in disbelief. Raka still waits for alyssa to speak
"If you're just playing, you'd better get out of here."
Says one of the three. Raka only glanced at her
"You don't answer me assume you accept me, come home from school I'll wait by the gate, you come home with me" so he stood up and left with his friends leaving alyssa still looking confused about what raka had said
"Alyssa you should be grateful or something?"
"Alyssa I hope your decision is the best"
Alyssa fell silent at the words of her friends
"I just admire it doesn't mean I like the" she says
"I'll talk to him later"

"Raka why don't you listen to alyssa talk, if she will accept or refuse" said daffa to raka, now that they are behind the school, this place is where they come together
"Daffa, are you sure alyssa will say no to raka?" said alvin
"not really"
"No one can say no to raka"
"but if alyssa says no to raka, what if the ray knows"
"Stop, you guys don't keep fighting, help me think,why did I just bring her home with me "raka said with his frusty-ass face, honestly the last words just came out of his mouth
" I thought you were serious about going home with her"
"Are you crazy alvin? please find me a good reason so I won't come home to school with him"
"Pretending to practice basketball, basketball practice is usually long, I'm sure a child like alyssa can't come home late"
"for now I agree with alvin"
"I can't believe alvin's this smart"
"shit"

School bell went off a few minutes ago. Raka returned home relieved that alyssa had just come to him to say that she could not go home together.
Raka's step came to a halt when he saw a girl leaning against her car door
"what happen?" Said raka as he walked toward the girl
"Hello young master, looks like you're working on a scenario"
"If the question is about alyssa, it doesn't matter"
"It's important to me Mr. Raka"
Raka was staring at that girl
"she's my best friend"
"So? What's the problem?"
The girl breathed deep
"Raka, you're using alyssa as a bookmaking?"
"If so, why?"
He said, softly pushing the girl, then raka got into his car. The girl looked at raka until finally raka's car came out of the school neighborhood and was never seen again
