Arriving in front of the classroom, Julian paused and said to Anindya.
"You should wait outside, okay?" Julian said to Anindya.
"No!" Anindya replied in an annoyed tone, staring pointedly at the entrance.
"I thought so..." Julian thought to himself with a flat expression.
"I-i feel embarrassed, Anindya" Julian said, stroking the back of his hair.
Anindya turned her head to look at Julian.
"Why should you be embarrassed?!" Anindya asked angrily.
"Because I’ll definitely be the subject of their gossip..." Julian replied.
"Hmph!..." Anindya snorted, turning her head to look at the classroom door.
"Just leave it, so the girls in your class know that I’m your girlfriend and no one will dare approach you!" Anindya continued firmly, tightening her hold on his arm.
"Ahh, he’s still thinking about my class leader, huh, hahaha..." Julian thought to himself, smiling awkwardly and looking at Anindya.
With that thought, Julian invited Anindya to join him in his classroom.
"Alright, let’s go in" Julian said with a smile.
Anindya nodded with a smile, showing her agreent. When they entered the classroom, the teacher wasn’t there yet, and only a few students were present. The class leader, Silica, was standing in front of the blackboard, writing down an assignnt given by the Chemistry teacher.
Silica heard the classroom door open and looked over to find Julian standing near the door. She greeted him with a smile.
"Ah! Juli..." Silica said, her expression cheerfully upon seeing Julian.
"...an" Silica continued, her expression imdiately changing to one of surprise when she saw Anindya beside him.
Anindya glared at Silica and tightened her embrace. Silica, anwhile, simply stared at Anindya with a surprised expression.
"H-hello Silica" Julian greeted with an awkward smile and a wave.
Silica’s expression changed when Julian greeted her.
"Hello Julian!" Silica said with a sweet smile and waved at Julian.
Seeing Julian smile, Anindya elbowed him.
"THUD!" Anindya’s voice elbowed Julian in the stomach.
"Ouch!" Julian cried out in pain.
"Don’t smile!" Anindya whispered with an angry expression and tone.
"Haa... Alright, Alright" Julian said with a flat expression, staring at Anindya.
"So, Why are you late to class, Julian?" Silica asked with a little smile.
"I just went to the school infirmary" Julian replied.
Silica, with a curious expression, approached Julian and said,
"Ara?, what’s wrong with you?" Silica asked.
"Etto, I..." Julian said, trying to find a plausible excuse to avoid causing a scene.
When Silica was in front of Julian, Julian imdiately had an idea.
"Ah, I scratched myself with a nail!" Julian continued, already finding his excuse.
"Hm? The nail? Where’s the nail?" Silica asked, confused.
Anindya, who had been staring intently, finally spoke up.
"You’re so nosy!" Anindya said with an annoyed expression and tone.
Hearing that, Silica turned to Anindya.
"What the problem of you?!, I was just asking Julian!" Silica replied with an annoyed expression and tone.
Anindya released her embrace and began glaring at Silica, who also glared back at Anindya. Julian took the opportunity to go to his seat and grab his bag.
When he reached his seat, Julian was greeted by Joyce, Ravi, and Kaza, who were hanging out in the back.
"Where have you been, Julian?" Ravi asked.
"I’ve been to the infirmary, feeling a little feverish" Julian replied.
"What’s wrong with you? Maybe... because you got caught in the rain on your date with Anindya~? hihihi" Kaza said with a mischievous expression and tone.
"No... Because I got cut on my arm by a nail. The wound is quite large, so I’m a bit feverish" Julian said, showing his injured arm.
"Where did you get it?" Joyce asked confused.
"Earlier on the first floor... when the school staff was moving... a table, a nail on the table... brushed against my arm, so it hit " Julian said, his explanation faltering as he searched for a plausible excuse.
Silica, who had been glaring at Anindya, suddenly shifted her gaze to Julian and said,
"Uwah, how could that happen?" Silica said with a surprised expression.
Silica began to approach Julian and then held his injured arm.
"Does it still hurt?" Silica asked, looking at Julian with a cute expression.
Julian blushed slightly at Silica’s cute face.
"Ummm... A little..." Julian replied, blushing.
"Oi oi oi, you’re so brave to do that in front of your girlfriend" Ravi said with a slightly surprised expression.
"Eh?" Julian asked, looking at Ravi in surprise.
Julian slowly turned to Anindya. He saw her standing not far from the door with an angry expression. Anindya imdiately approached, then slapped Silica’s hand away from Julian’s arm.
"Don’t touch him!" Anindya said with an annoyed expression and tone.
"Ouch!, what the hell!, I’m the class leader here, so it’s natural to care about my classmates!!" Silica replied with an annoyed expression, rubbing her hand where she’d been slapped.
Joyce suddenly spoke.
"Class leader, your words really touched our hearts..." Joyce said with a thoughtful expression, sitting down.
The 11-M students in the classroom nodded their heads in agreent. Silica’s face flushed red at Joyce’s words.
"Aa-anyway, I care about Julian because he’s my classmate!" Silica said, still shy.
They both glared at each other with annoyed expressions.
"Haa-ah, this isn’t going to end quickly..." Julian said to himself with a flat expression.
Finally, Julian sighed and said
"Haa... Okay, I’m going ho first. Please tell the teacher I’m sick. I’ll send the doctor’s note to our horoom teacher’s WhatsApp" Julian said, looking at Silica.
"And Anindya, go back to class so Sagara doesn’t look for you" Julian continued, looking at Anindya.
Julian looked at Joyce, Kaza, and Ravi.
"I’m going ho first, guys" Julian said, waving.
"Okay!" Joyce and Kaza replied.
"Be careful, Julian" Ravi said.
As he was about to leave, Julian suddenly stopped and asked again.
"Oh yeah, where are the others?" Julian asked.
"So of us were asked to help the teacher move tables and chairs on the first floor" Ravi replied.
"Aahh, okay, then give my regards to the others" Julian said, raising his palm.
Ravi nodded, then Julian started walking toward the exit.
