Episode 3: new friend 2, lunch time

The wind blew through the window, there was a guy sitting and listening a music in an earphone. He seems he's sleeping.

As I drop my secret letter, there is one other guy picked it up and try to open it.

"Oh! eehh... no, no, don't..." I was shocked. I'm trying to grab the letter, but I slip and fall because of this damn shiny floor is so slippery. The "thud" sound of my fall is echoing inside the classroom. I'm so embarrass to get up, I feel like everyone will mock at me.

"Oh! Sam, are you ok?" Mia hurriedly approach me.

"Are you hurt?" the guy said and lend his hand to me.

"Oh, I'm fine", I take his hand to stand, "Thank you." And release it immediately.

On his other hand, he still holding my secret letter, thanks to my embarrassing fall that he delay to open it.

"Sam, is there something wrong with you?" she asked worriedly.

"Should we go to the clinic? That was a bad fall", he said with a kind face.

"Ah, no... I'm ok, no need to", I respond to him with a smile. "Ummm... by the way, can I have that letter back?"

"Huh?...Oh this? Is this yours?"

"Yes, I dropped it."

"Ah, I'm so sorry, but I didn't open it", he smiled so brightly.

I feel so relieved that I got my letter back. But, this guy is cute even Mia feel shy and blushing. His voice and his smile are sweet and he speaks so gentle like an angel.

"It's ok, thanks", I replied to him.

"woahhh... he's cute, Sam", Mia whispered to me and blushing. "I think his new?" she said in a lower voice.

She can't hold it anymore, she asked suddenly to him.

"Hey, I didn't saw you before. Are you new?" she asked.

"No, but I just don't often enter a class because I always busy with my projects of designing." he said. " I'm from the designing group."

"Oh, I see. I'm Mina Almara just call me 'Mia' and this is Sammy Graner just call her 'Sam', she is the new student here. We both are from the Arts group."

"I'm Allen Hamid, just call me 'Len'."

"Nice to meet you Len", Mia extends her hand for a handshake.

"Nice to meet you too to both of you", he takes Mia's hand.

"Wanna come to have a lunch with us?" Mia said.

"Oh, I'm sorry I can't, I need to go to my brother and have a lunch with him and also with my groupmates." he replied. "Maybe next time, we will."

"Ah\, well it's ok"\, she said with a smile. *I was rejected\, damn* Her face seems like she was really sad in hidden. "We will going now then."

"Ok, see you and thank you" he said smiling. "Have a nice lunch and see you around."

"Mmm... thank you Len." I said and nodded at him.

Mia and I leave the classroom and going down stairs, while we're walking I asked her of what she said earlier about the groups.

"Mia, what do you mean Arts group? I didn't know I belong to the arts group. Can you explain me about it?" I asked curiously. "Actually I didn't know if there were different kinds of groups, I thought that we're only studying in the same specialization or majors. Can you tell me?" I have no idea of what strategies of this school have.

"Oh, you don't know?" she respond. And I just nod my head.

"I thought you knew it so I didn't told you about it earlier", she said.

"You know, first timer... Home-schooled girl since young have no idea and knowledge about school strategies and regulations." I explained. "Right?"

"Yeah, right, but haven't you read the paper about the regulations and strategies of this school given along with the registration papers when you were fill upping?" she asked me.

"Paper? wait... I don't...", I'm thinking and flashbacking when I was in registration office, after that, I now remember something that I forgot to took it because I put it separated from the other registration papers and I just leave afterwards when I finished filled upping all the papers.

"Ugh, god damn I forgot to took it, I placed it on the table when I was filled upping." I scratched my head and just laughed embarrassingly. "But, you can still tell me now, right?"

"Yes, of course. And haven't you look at the board in our room of what group are you in?"

"The board? No, I haven't."

"Hah you're silly..." she smiled. On that board is where the rules and regulations of our school and classroom were posted and it is where you can know about the groups where you in and who are your members. Our seats were arranged by groups, the first raw are the music and dance group, the second raw is the fashion designing group, and the third raw is the arts and graphic designing group. So, that's why you were sitting in a third raw." she explained. "And also, not only that, the rankings and the scores are posted on that board, and every rooms had it.

"Are all courses also had a different groupings like us?"

"Not all, some others don't have."

"Ah, now I know", I nodded. "Hmmm... by the way, are there also clubs in here like reading club, sleeping club, or any clubs?"

"Yes we have. We have a lot of clubs, the gaming club, dating club, reading club, sleeping club, fan club, idol club and etc.", she explained and counting on her fingers. "You can see all the clubs on the board."

"Did you joined a club too? what club are you in?", I curiously asked.

"Yes, I joined in a dating club", she said confidently. " Our club is full of hunks and so romantic. Do you wanna join our club?" she exclaimed proudly and twinkled her eyes.

"No thanks, I'm not interested", I waved my hand.

"Ohhh... again"\, *rejected*

We continue talking until we almost reach at the cafeteria. As we arrive, we go in and get some food for lunch, but I just get a drinks because I already have a food in my lunch box. My grandpa pack a lunch for me to make sure that I don't skip meals because sometimes I skipped mealtime. He will scold me if I don't eat and not follow the time for meals.

After that, we sit to an empty seats and place our foods on the table. While we're eating, suddenly a group of guys approaching to the table next to us where is a one guy eating alone silently. They are five members, the tough one seems like he is the leader of the gang who sits in front of the quiet one. He grabs his food and pour to his head, and they laugh at him. The pitiful one didn't make a move he just cried while they continue pouring some juices and milk at him and making fun of him, kicking his chair and slapping his head. I feel so anxious while watching them bullying him so pitiful. I feel so bad to that guy and I want to stop them harassing him. No one will gonna stop them or help that guy, even a teachers, they just watching like a show.

"Mia, what's going on with those guys?" I whispered to Mia. "Who are they?"

"Hah... those are the gangsters of this school. Tsk, tsk, tsk, they always doing this everyday, making fun of him."

"WHAT?! EVERYDAY?!", I exclaimed in a lower voice.

"Hmmm", she nodded while drinking her apple juice.

"Why are they bullying that guy?!"

"(Sigh)...because that guy they rumored that he was from a poor family, his mother was a housemaid and having an affair of the chairman, I mean their boss." she said with a grossing face. "They said his father was in prisoned because he raped a ten years old girl and also accused in a robbery. They have so many debts and they haven't paid it. So his mother sell her body to their boss so they can pay their debts."

I was shocked after hearing his rumored story, but I didn't believe it easily.

"Do you believe them, I mean the rumor you've heard about him?", I asked to Mia with a serious face. "It's just a rumor. You must don't believe so easily."

"Well yes I believe, everybody knows that and some others are know well about his family's reputation ", she replied and bite an apple.

"Why they do that? Even they know his bad reputation there is no need to bully him, it's non of their business, it's his life... We should stop them or call a guidance teacher to suppress of their bully to that guy!", I'm trying to stand but Mia holds me back.

"No, you cant, even teachers cant stop them." she suddenly swallowed her food and cough.

"Why?", I gave the water quickly to her and she drinks it. She pulls me back to sit down.

"It is because that guy who bully was the son of the CEO of the biggest company in the whole city." she whispered. " He was from the D'shon family the 5th ranked of the richest clan."

"Hmmm... I see", I looked at them with a frown face. "So that is why they just easy to do because of there high and strong status." I suddenly stand because I feel so much anxious while watching a guy bully to a pitiful guy. I cant hold my anger to them.

"If that so, I'm going to call a police!" I said and grab my phone.
