The Romance of Earth and Blue
PART 41 - Broken Must Grow

Things like this are pretty traumatizing. Choose your own group. I don't know why some teachers like to make groups by freeing their students to choose their own members. Maybe the goal is that the teacher does not need to bother choosing again. The point with the intention to simplify. But not everyone is lucky. What is the name of justice in choosing his own group, it is almost nothing. There will always be groups with smart students only, there will also be outcasts. Like I usually am. Alone and inevitably accommodate people who are considered outcasts also because most of them are students who are not diligent and problematic. So I had to do the task of the group alone.

And for the first in 11th grade, finally something like that will happen again. I have made my heart clear. But this time it's not like I imagined because Fanny immediately formed a group with me and Kartika. The two of us were no longer swayed due to the lack of members anymore. But there are still less than 2 people.

The sound of a book placed on my desk made me turn my head. I saw Bima and Razafa approaching us while pulling the bench and positioning properly to be more flexible while doing the task..

"Earth, how dumb?"

I flinched when Kartika called me. They all looked at me questioningly.

"Yes why?" my many.

"This is what we want for matter. You're in chapter 3, you want to?" Kartika repeated the discussion.

I immediately looked at the package book and nodded after reading the headings of the subchapter.

"Okay let's summarize each part" said Fanny.

I took my notebook and immediately summarized the material I had learned before so it was easier this time.

The teacher had already dropped out of the classroom and handed it over completely to us for the task of the group. The class became boisterous. Most choose to work outside the classroom because this afternoon the class feels sultry even though two large fans on the wall have been turned on since this morning.

"Well, look outside, too" suggested Fanny.

Everyone agrees too. We chose a small garden next to the library to work on. In this place shade because of the large trees whose leaves shade this place.

I sat next to Kartika who looked serious. Fanny and Rafaza looked slightly away. Well, they also need time to be alone. We understand that.

Bima suddenly sat next to me. He gave me a small eye cream. "Make what?" my many. It's always weird. Suddenly good, suddenly annoying.

"You must be exhausted. Take a project every day, still a course, Olympic preparation" he replied.

"I'm not tired." More precisely, I have become accustomed to such busyness because since childhood my father always pressured me to learn.

"Eye bags will never lie. You also dreamt. Dismissing is one indication of stress," he said. I don't know if his words are true or if they're just his creations.

"Why do you want to love?" I'm still in doubt.

Bima let out a rough breath. He took my hand and made my palm face up so he could put the eye cream there.

"Bawel. What a hard thing to take."

"Yes, you're not clear anyway. You just made me cry because you hid my phone. It's suddenly giving me eye cream" I cried. I was so upset with him. Bima made my mood like a roolercoaster and I didn't like that.

"Earth, pack it." Bima standing. "I'll go to the cafeteria first."

It just went by like before. "Earth, kasian loh Bima," said Kartika. It seems that he has been watching us since.

I shrugged my shoulders. "Mistake itself. I do not like Bima that arbitrarily. He thinks it's funny what keeps people going. I've had a lot of burden on her mind added, "I forgot all about Kartika.

After our work is completed, we are collected. We went straight back to class. The class is empty. Everyone has been home since. Only our group was too perfectionist so it took longer than the others to complete the summary.

When I returned to class, I was confused because my backpack was missing. I'm freaking out about not playing because there's my wallet in my picture of San Biru the first time we came.

Fanny and Kartika helped me find me everywhere.

"Am I asking for a class group?" Fresh Fanny.

I'm shaking. Of course you already know the culprit. I approached Bima and patted her desk hard. "Where's my backpack," I attacked directly.

"Where do you think?" He asked a question that provoked my anger.

"Mrubber. I'm going home!" I'm very tired now and want to get some rest before the course at 4 o'clock. But Bima really wasted my time.

"That's beside your stool" he answered.

I went straight back to my stool and looked out the window. And sure enough, my backpack was there. On a tree that is quite tall in my opinion.

Oh my stomach is also sick from the moon. I'm really upset. "Take it!" Excruciate. "When people take it, huh? There's a cell phone, there's a wallet." I beat him hard while crying.

Bima looked surprised by my expression.

"Take, Bim!" Excited again. I'm already mad at him.

Fanny stroked my shoulder. "Bim, take the gih. Your outrageousness," he said.

Bima nodded and went straight out of the classroom. He came back with my backpack shortly.

"I'm sorry."

I was busy wiping my tears.

"You go, Bim. Stop disturbing the Earth, said people hate later love youh," exclaimed Rafaza teasing.

"Tuh denger, Bim. If you like to say dong, don't even disturb you. Cassian Earth," said Fanny who began chiming in.

I told you that their thinking was strange. Bima just likes to bother me, not like it in any other sense.

"OK if that is so," cried Bima firmly.

Bima sighed. He sat down in front of me who was still down. He took my hands busy wiping away tears. He held it very gently. "Earth, I like you. Not like what you think. But I like you, as lover," he said.

"Emm let's get out. Make room for them" Kartika drags Fanny and Rafaza out.

"Where are you going?" I panicked and was about to chase them but was held back by Bima.

"Don't run. I'm not done yet."
