Dinda could only stay in her seat. In fact, during school breaks, she didn't go anywhere. She had an appointment with Mas Edo to help arrange some new books in the library. Dinda's mind was perplexed. After Nathan left, the boy wasn't even in class until the last hour, of course. And, because of that, Dinda became the target of Gisel, Regar, and Benny. Accusing that everything that happened this morning was because of her. In fact, until this moment, Dinda does not understand what happened.

Only yesterday did she remember that when Rendra met her, Nathan was arguing with Rendra. So, what does that have to do with it? Nathan wasn't her boyfriend, and why did Nathan have to fight with Rendra over it? There must be another problem. That's what Dinda kept emphasizing to herself. However, she also did not deny that her heart was thundering violently. She felt guilty about what happened because of Nathan's cold nature earlier. Nathan why? That's what's been in Dinda's brain all this time.

"Din, what are you doing? Have you just been daydreaming? You didn't take Gisel's words to heart, did you?" Selly asked, nudging Dinda's arm until the girl turned around.

"Hah?"

"Gisel and Nathan's gang said earlier. You don't take it to heart, do you?" Sally said again. Dinda just smirked, then she shook her head weakly. "I can't understand why the conflict between the pillars is actually you being the target of their mistakes! Moreover, Gisel, it seems that she really has a grudge against you, Din. Have you ever done anything wrong with her?"

"I don't know either, Sell. Why are Nathan and Rendra trying to get involved with me?"

"Jealous, Din ..." said Selly, who managed to make Dinda look at her. "Yes, lately Nathan has been closer to you. Who knows she might be jealous. You see, in the past, Nathan was always followed by his two concubines, the yellow pillar, then Regar, and Benny. They never let go all," she explained later.

"And Rendra?" asked Dinda. It seems true, Rendra has his clan. He was not that familiar with the other two pillars in this school.

"Rendra is a free type of guy, Din. Even though he is the leader of the black pillars, he doesn't want to hang out like that. He has his own gang. Namely, his subordinates, and he seems to prefer to be an executioner for schools that have Nathan marked it, or else he marked it himself."

Dinda remembers Selly's previous explanation about this. However, she never thought that Nathan was the mastermind behind the commotion between schools. She was sitting in the back, but the one who had to step in was Rendra. So, why did Rendra want to obey all of Nathan's requests?

"Why are Rendra and the yellow pillar so submissive to Nathan, Sell? I don't understand. Okay, if for example Sasa and Gisel are submissive, because they already fell in love with Nathan, right? But what about Rendra? the most unmanageable. Then, why did he become obedient to Nathan?"

"I don't know, Din, maybe because it's mutually beneficial. Maybe for Rendra a brawl and winning is a matter of pride, that's why he is willing to be arranged, and Nathan is told to do this. And for Nathan, being number one is his goal, he doesn't I don't care if everyone knows it's from his hands, or from someone else."

Dinda was silent again, and yesterday she did not want to interfere in the affairs of the three strange pillars. But then again, Gisel always had something to do with them. Dinda saw Gisel, who had glanced at her. It was clear that the girl hated her. Although Dinda doesn't know the exact reason, judging from some of Gisel's harsh words, it seems true that Gisel is jealous. Was Gisel so in love with Nathan that he misunderstood?

"Din, wow! Mr. Eko is looking for you!" said Sasa, who had just entered the classroom.

Dinda frowned. What business is Mr. Eko looking for? Pak Eko is a conseling teacher and serves as the deputy principal of the school. Did she do something wrong? Or does this have to do with what happened earlier?

"Din! Are you dumb? Let's hurry!" repeated Sasa, looking impatient.

Dinda nodded, following Sasa's steps, which led her to meet Mr. Eko. She didn't know, but Sasa was openly being nice to her. Usually, this girl in front of her would seem unconcerned.

"What's wrong, Sa? Why is Mr. Eko looking for me? Am I wrong?" asked Dinda, who was starting to look worried. In all her life, she had never entered the conseling room. This is a terrifying thing. Was it because he was the culprit during Chemistry class yesterday? Or, because she skipped school with Nathan? Yes, she has committed a lot of crimes lately.

Dinda took a deep breath, and she felt dizzy. It seemed her life had been torn apart from now on. The beginning of her move here was to change her life for the better and forget about a bad boy named Panji. But in the end, what happened was that she turned into a naughty student at school.

Sasa did not seem to answer Dinda's question. She continued walking down the school hallway, through the park, field, then headed to the school canseling room. After arriving at the door to the conseling room, Sasa stopped. Making Dinda's steps also contain. Then, the dimpled girl glanced at Dinda briefly.

"Come on in," she said. Open the door to the conseling room, then enter ahead of Dinda.

Dinda also followed Sasa's steps, she went into the conseling room, and there was Mr. Eko and Mrs. Ningsih. So can suddenly know why he was summoned to the conseling room.

Dinda swallowed her dry saliva, and she didn't know what to do. After following the steps, Sasa took the hands of the two teachers and kissed their hands solemnly. Both of them stood there.

"Well... you know, sit here...," said Mrs. Ningsih, who looked friendly beyond what Dinda imagined, who she thought would be angry. "Dinda?" guessed Mrs. Ningsih again. Dinda nodded. Maybe Bu Ningsih forgot her name, even though she said her name aloud yesterday. Understandably, the number of students here is not small, plus she is a new student.

"Yes, ma'am," answered Dinda. After he sat beside Sasa, they sat opposite the two teachers. "What is it, sir, ma'am? Why have I been summoned here?" asked Dinda again.

Mr. Eko showed a friendly smile, which made Dinda's chest rumble with relief. She was sure if the purpose of being summoned in the conseling room was not to be scolded.
