The Ball Behind the Love of the Court
71. Looking for Locusts

My steps rushed into the classroom, as usual and chatted with Yuri who had come first.

Not long after, David also joined the class. With a cold face and his gaze looking at me sharply. I turned my face away pretending to do something with the book and pen in hand.

"What's wrong with him, why look at me like that" I was annoyed by David's gaze, and I didn't understand what was going on in his life to be this kind of stranger.

He sat on his stool and then kept his head down. I know now he's one of the most popular students because he got the award as the top scorer. Her face and career are so supportive that many students are attracted to her. So was I, but silence was the right answer.

*Tetttt*school bell sounds. The first hour lesson begins. At the moment the teacher told us to form a group and choose it ourselves and write on the board. Each group is 4 people.

"Key with whom" Yuri asked me. Because each of them already has his gangmates.

"Of course, we wait for the last one" I said casually. After all I feel relaxed and there will definitely be a group because the number in this class there are 28 students who will form as many as 7 groups.

"Come keyla, Yuri, David and Ari you didn't write your group? " Task the teacher for just the names of the four of us

"Let me just write" David said and immediately wrote our names slmat. For some reason it was so fitting that we were met in a group. But let it be, the important thing is to find a group.

"Key we're with David and Ari. Why could that be? "

"Destiny" My heart

"Hehehehe" Yuri chuckled at my reply.

"That's it, let's join" We joined a group containing me, Yuri, David and Ari.

The current task is to make observations outside the classroom that is about tissue in animals. Each group is given the freedom to think outside the classroom and will be presented next week. This observation aims to do brain refreshing in students so as not to get bored.

I think this learning is very interesting because it can improve the thinking power of students so as not to always think with pressure in the room every day. By seeing the beauty of the outside world, we will be happy.

All students go outside the classroom. Me, Yuri, David and Ari were in the garden next to the classroom hallway and sat down to look for information. There is no talk from our lips. Everything was silent and silent, for some reason it felt so awkward to talk.

"You guys don't want to talk? " Open Yuri who removes the silence in our group.

"If we don't talk, how do we discuss" True too said Yuri, we will not be able to discuss if everything still continues to be silent. There was not even a word from our mouths except for Yuri.

"Alright, I'll find the animal we'll observe in this park" I said to take one of the tasks in order to speed up the workmanship of the given task.

"I'm you key" replied David

"okay"

"I'm just here, working on the network first" Ari said while holding a prepared paper and pen.

"How am I going with you? " Yuri's face enthusiastically wants to work with me. Because he and Ari are currently not so familiar especially with David.

"No need, you accompany Ari. There's a lot of frogs" David tried to scare Yuri. Because he knew that Yuri was afraid of frogs.

"Right, I'm not the same Ari here" David, what's the point of him scaring Yuri until he doesn't want to come looking for animals with me.

"We'll go first"

"OK" Yuri and Ari replied simultaneously.

Today I set aside my ego so that learning can go well, actually I do not get revenge with Ari even though he has hurt me many times. I know his heart is good, because we have been friends from Junior High. I want everything back, the old Ari, Ari's old smile and everything about Ari.

David and I were looking for beetles or grasshoppers in the flowers or in the grass. I looked around and finally saw a green back that was swinging on the leaves of a small tree.

*blakk*

"Aduhhhh" Shouted me and David simultaneously.

We hit because we both saw a grasshopper and wanted to catch it. Finally, the collision is inevitable. Our heads were bumped to a bounce, fortunately not far away. While my hand he held tightly, the problem was that the wound had not healed and David smiled instead.

"Oohhh, sick vid" I realized as we looked at each other.

"Sorry, sorry key" David immediately let go of his grasp on me. It's true that our bodies were blown away but David's hand was still holding my arm so I wouldn't fall.

"Your hands haven't healed yet"

"Not yet" I said with annoyance.

"Looks like it took a sidecar" I looked at him as he said that. How can a 2-door refrigerator melt like this. I think his cold nature can't joke like that.

"By the way, we better find the trunk again" I told him

"Yes, yes, very bad. I want to joke" while blurting her lips.

"Well, there's a grasshopper, let's take it" I pointed my eyes at the grasshopper David pointed at. We secretly moved to get it. David walked in front and I followed him,

"Yes got the key" David managed to catch the grasshopper

"Really" David nodded and closed his hand tightly.

My lips smiled as we jumped in excitement. Because I remember the last time David jumped with me under the rain. And this time he jumped with me again but it was different atmosphere.

"David" David and I stared at the sound. It turned out that she was the woman who came and claimed to be David's fiancee at the time. He also wears our school uniform. My heart wondered about him, whether he went to school here or not.

"Adel" Turns out her name is Adel. David was surprised to see it and so was I. He ran towards us and took David by the hand. You crazy woman, like you want to cross.

"You go to school here? " Task David who was astonished when he was already wearing the school uniform.

"Yes, I've already told you through the message that I'm going in today. But you didn't answer" She whined like a child. And I still see him with a weak body. It feels like nausea to see him like a hot worm.

"What the heck, don't be shy to know" snapped David to the potent nature that made some of our classmates look at them.

"This who? " Task Adel to David as he looks at me standing in front of him

"She's my girlfriend" My eyes immediately glared as David said that I was his girlfriend. My lips were frozen and could neither deny nor accept.

"What's? Your boyfriend" yelled adel because he was surprised when David said that. David answered her with a nod while holding my hand and rather my arm because this hand was still injured.

"No, no, no. Was he the one who made you fight your papa back then? " I don't know what they're talking about and I just keep quiet and listen. David's hand was still holding my arm as if it didn't let me go.

"Don't bring my father's name here, you better get into class" David told him.

"Kok you're so evil anyway, if you're like this I'm going to report to your papa" he threatened David so that he can't dwell. Instantly David let go of his grasp on me.

"You can't be an adult" David said with a cold gaze as usual.

"It's all because of this woman, right" she looked back at me. He was proud and felt the most right.

"Oh, how insolent of you" I cried as his hand lightly hit my injured hand. Fortunately in the park, if only in a closed room I had beaten him.

"Lighten you in, rather than make a fuss here" David loudly threw Adel's hand that had touched me.

I don't know what to be happy about or. David cares about me, whether it's because of his pretend role or if he really cares about me.

"Hey you guys, why the storm" One of the teacher's mothers came to us because of Adel's actions that made a scene.

The three of us were rebuked by the teacher. And the most reprimanded was Adel, the teacher did not know if Adel was a new student. He snapped at her as if Adel had missed a lesson. And finally Adel entered the classroom until we both became safe here.

But because of Adel the trunk came off again. You spoiled kid, because he's me and David have to look for him again. Before doing anything, for a moment I was silent because I was still thinking about the words of David who told Adel that I was his girlfriend.

"Why did you say I was your girlfriend? " I opened the question about what David said earlier.

"Because I like you" He casually replied like that. He was busy looking back under the tree.

I was silent and didn't know what to say. I hope David says the right thing. But hoping in humans is a bad thing. Actually it is better not to greet each other when finally leaving, heheheh.

"Are you not able to speak seriously? "

"I've been serious about liking you, but I'm serious about locusts now" she said with the same face. No smile or laugh at all. Everything feels flat.

For so long we both searched for locusts, eventually finding them too. Me and David took her to Ari and Yuri. It turns out they have already completed the task.

Even the two of them also saw the incident earlier when Adel made a tantrum. But they both don't know if Adel is a new student. Yuri immediately asked and I told her that Adel was a new student who moved to this school.

Ari's gaze seemed to want to speak. But her brain easily prevented Ari from talking to me and chose to be quiet while hating me.

"Kids, all get into class because time is up" Lesson time is over, whereas we haven't finished about the back. It's a good thing that this task will be presented next week so we can relax.

When entering the classroom, the teacher explained that this task must be typed and presented as well as possible in front of the class in the next week's lesson. Means we'll do the group work again to finish it.

After that the break bell rang. As usual I and Yuri went to the cafeteria. But this time I want to see the coach of Alam to permit that I do not fully train in school because soon I will train in the tarkam club.

When I'm worried, I'll come to the best coach in the school. I better choose to consult with coach Alam to get the best way out for me and the team.

"Yuri I'm going to the coach's address for a while, yes, I'll follow you to the cafeteria. And don't forget to order as usual"

"Okay ready key. Don't be long" We parted ways, I went to the office and Yuri to knatin.

When I met with coach Alam, I talked a lot about the club that would recruit me to be a core player with an agreed salary. As well as asking for advice on staying in training at school and helping to win the next tournament.

Coach Alam advised me that later after entering the club, I should follow the orders of the coach. Never dispute anything in order to get more knowledge and lessons.

Coach Alam also said that the best player is he who has high flying hours. Or better to play than sit on the bench.

"Each coach, key promise will hold all the advice of the coach of Nature" I said with enthusiasm. And coach Alam just nodded.

He said I also had to keep my spirit up, and the nature coach also gave me leniency. You can practice at school or train at the club I'm in. Coach Alam gave me some lightness so that my development would be easy while there.

There are a lot of things I have to learn out there, maybe there are still a lot of good coaches, but I think Nature's best when it comes to getting me into physical, mental and whatever it is. And what I remember the most at that time was being a ball taker for my early scoring mentality to be as strong as it is today.
