"Lam! Hurry up! We've been waiting for Mila and Aldi!" Sekar shouted. I forgot. This morning, Sekar and I are tasked with taking care of smart—careful needs, which will start soon. If we don't get there more quickly, the punishment will be in sight.

"La, Gen... I'll say goodbye first."

"Meet there, okay!" I nodded. The two of them hugged me tightly like we would be apart forever.

"Your phone is vibrating, Lam," Sekar said. After letting go of Lala and Genta's arms, I opened my cellphone. This is still the old HP. The cellphone is broken because I don't have the money to buy a new one. HP with a few solutions here and there. However, all the features still work. Only when receiving a call, sometimes the voice is a little lost.

Don't hug Genta! I don't like it! :@

I glanced at Ricky before I walked away. He rested his chin while looking at Mondy and Bondan, uninterested. I'm confused, and I should answer what message from him.

To: Ricky (Boyfriend)

Why? :o

From: Ricky (Boyfriend)

No guy can hug you besides me! XD

"Lam! You, what are you doing? You're in a trance, aren't you? You've been smiling incoherently!" I screamed in surprise when Sekar tapped my shoulder. Immediately I hid my cell phone while I typed a reply to Ricky. Am I smiling? I didn't realize that.

"Geez!" oh my god... why can I send those emoticons to Ricky! How about this? What if he thinks I'm a flirt? Or an easy girl who wants a kiss?!

I fiddled with my cellphone, hoping I could retrieve the message again. But... I haven't had time to make sure the message I sent came in. There is another vibration on my HP. And that's a sign of a message I just received.

I slowly opened the message from Ricky. I hope he doesn't call me a slut or something. How surprised I was when I found out the contents of Ricky's reply, a reply that I thought was beyond thought.

:* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* i love u... baby

My chest suddenly rumbled. Even my face felt hot now. I'm sure my face is now turning pink. Oh my God... is this what they call falling in love? So simple but able to drive me crazy. I want to feel it forever if this is called falling in love.

To: Ricky (Boyfriend)

I love you too ^.^

Around nine o'clock in the morning... Harapan Bangsa and Pelita Mulya High School students had already filled the center field where the smart-care competition was held. The supporters did not hesitate to put up banners and cheered with their pom-poms, almost like a football field that will do the final match. For them, this race is more important than the ball game. Because... it's not only students who are known to be wise. Even the student council president also jumps in to participate in this competition. Undeniably, this competition is the weakest point of the two camps, because... the camp that usually only relies on muscles to show who is the champion. Now they have to use their brains to prove it.
