We, From The First
#05. A Rakha's Target
The first day of the new semester in class XII begins. And on her first day at the new school as a new student too, Aira could not describe how she felt now. Aira is not the type of person who easily blend in since the death of his parents a year ago. A sudden event that changed his life in that day, made everything in him also change. Aira who used to have a bright personality, is now more somber. Nico's parents have explained everything to Nico, and ask Nico to pay more attention to Aira.
The situation was clearly drawn from Aira's face this morning. Today, he and Nico left for school together with being escorted by Mr. Salim. And Nico who at that time chose to sit next to Aira in the back seat, can capture well the nervousness of Aira. But Nico didn't say anything. Nico merely shifted his focal point away from the book he had been reading, and stared at Aira from the side.
Nico cannot deny, Aira looks very sweet with his new uniform. His shoulder-length hair was tied up in a ponytail, and Aira simply put a thin powder on his face and applied pink lipgloss on his thin lips which was actually naturally red. Nico this time was stunned. Somehow she felt, Aira looked more beautiful than ever since she saw Aira when she was a child.
Aira has a height of about 162 cm with a slim body. She is white and has a small, round face. His hair was black and thick. And on his left cheek was a mole that made him look even sweeter. Her face had not changed since childhood, only that she looked even more beautiful. Aira looks so petite next to Nico who has quite wide shoulders.
Aira who began to feel that Nico was staring at him, immediately turned her face towards Nico who was ready to make Nico a little surprised and hurriedly cleared his throat, then turned her face.
"Why, Nic?" Ask Aira wonder.
"No. I'm just thinking you kept quiet from before. You nervous?" Nico finally asked Aira.
"Little." Answer Aira briefly.
"Hmm. later you will be one class with Rakha and Natta. They were me. I'm getting the important info right now, they're kind of ignorant, but they're actually good."
"So you're not their same class?"
"From class X to XI we are one class. But the time of class was yesterday, our class was in rolling."
Aira just nodded at Nico's reply, and turned back to the window, enjoying the view of the streets of Harsa city that looked crowded with passing vehicles. Nico still had not shifted his gaze from Aira's face. Now Nico thinks, even from the side, Aira still looks very pretty.
"Rba..." Nico is heard calling Aira again.
"Hmm?" Aira replied without taking her eyes off the windshield.
"May today be fun, huh?" Nico said, then rubbed Aira's head like before. Aira was a little jolted. And the thing Nico just did finally caused quite a heartbeat in his heart. It seems Nico will start making it his habit. And Aira didn't mind at all.
And vibrate Nico's phone quite hard, suddenly make Aira's ease on the beautiful figure next to him is dissolved in a matter of seconds. Nico checked his phone, then smiled a small smile as he read the text messages he received.
Seeing Nico's smile that was somewhat different from before, made Aira's curiosity slightly piqued. But Aira realized that it was not her capacity to ask Nico about something personal right now. Aira had to swallow her curiosity secretly.

At this moment Aira was already standing in front of the class to introduce herself. His eyes swept across the classroom, and obscured the faces of his classmates one by one. And Aira could see, that those faces welcomed her well. Aira took a breath, then began her introduction.
"Hay, everyone! I'm Naira Star Kelana. You can call me Aira. I hope we can all be friends. Please help."
"Hallo Aira!" Address the whole class enthusiastically, and increasingly make Aira feel so comfortable and happy.
Aira is then welcome to sit next to a student named Yumi. Yumi turns out to be so friendly, and invites Aira to get acquainted first.
Without Aira noticing, a pair of eagle eyes had been watching him ever since he first entered the classroom. Even when Aira was already sitting beside Yumi, those eyes kept following her.
Rakha, the eagle-eyed owner smiled as soon as she saw Aira smiling at Yumi. The exact position of her seat opposite Aira made her able to see the girl very clearly. And now, Rakha felt like there was a group of butterflies dancing in her stomach.
'Aira.. it turns out you are more beautiful when viewed in such a close distance.' Rakha muttered in his heart.
While in focus looking at Aira's face, Rakha suddenly felt her phone vibrate. He hastily opened a chat that turned out to be from Nico.
Rakha turned her focus back towards Aira with a gaze as if to say, 'it turns out she is the one', with a sweet smile still imprinted on her handsome face. Aira who began to feel that someone was watching her, then looked at Rakha with a questioning look. The smile on Rakha's face widened. Rakha this time averted his eyes with a feeling he could not explain. Afraid that if Rakha kept staring at the girl, Aira would think she was weird.
