Mila woke to a loud horn blasting in her ear, causing her to punch the source of the noise, hard, cause that's what you do when that happens right.
"Aduh! Mil?!!"
Said person slowly opened her eyes to see Arya in the corner, holding his hand to his mouth chuckling, and Yuda holding his face with his right hand, and an air horn in his left.
Mila's eye twitched. "Apa yang mas harapkan waktu mas," she irritatedly pointed at his left hand, "membunyikan itu di telingaku pagi-pagi."
"Kamu bilang kalau kamu enggak keluar saat kami datang, kita bisa membangunkan kamu dengan cara apa pun yang kita mau!" Yuda hissed, cursing while looking for a first aid kit.
"Iya, aku juga udah peringatkan kalau aku nggak bangun kaya putri bangsawan."
"Anjing! Kan kamu bisa memperingatkanku kalau kamu ninju orang waktu mereka membangunkanmu."
"Biarin. Cara bangunin orang tuh gak kayak gitu"
"Gais," Arya interrupted, "sebanyak yang aku mau untuk lihat ini lanjut, kita bakalan telat kalo gak berangkat," he paused to look at his watch, "kira-kira, 10 menit lagi."
"Pelajaran pertama yang ngajar siapa?" Mila asked, while getting out of bed. She entered her bathroom and started to brush her teeth.
"Bu Bada." they both said in unison. Mila finished up and spit out the water. She washed her face and stepped out of the washroom.
"Aduh. Dia guru aneh. Terakhir kali kita telat, dia nyuruh kita bantu eksperimen ga jelasnya dia." Mila shuddered, while pulling out clothes from her closet. "Aku gak mau gitu lagi." Then she looked at them expectantly.
"Iya sih. Kita tunggu di mobil ya." Yuda said, and she nodded, as they left her room. She shut the door and began to change into a plain white oversized t-shirt, a black jacket, and jeans. Just as she was finishing brushing her auburn hair, she heard Yuda yell, "Ayo cepetan, nanti tak tinggal lho!"
"Asu" she muttered, remembering last time. "Sek, mas!" she yelled back. She ran down the stairs and grabbed a pair of converse. She put them on in record time, and ran out the door, slamming it behind her. She approached the black car that belonged to Yuda, and jumped into the back seat.
"Ayo ayo ayo!" she urged.
"Sabar dikit dong." Yuda muttered, causing Annie to glare at him. The engine burst to life, and the car started to move them closer and closer to 7 hours of hell, or their school, but it's the same thing.

The trio ran into the classroom, panting and shoving each other.
"Minggir dong, ah!"
"Ga perlu. Kamu kan kecil, bisa muat di tengah tengah kita."
"Anjing."
Yuda just laughed while Arya smiled. They strode into the classroom, with all the eyes on them. They were 2 minutes early before the psychopa-ahem, Bu Bada, came in.
There was one particular set of eyes that always caught Mila's attention. They seemed to reflect her own, as weird as that sounds, but that's what it honestly felt like. She looked around and her brown eyes searched for warm cinnamon-like dark brown ones. She knew who they belonged to. Ratih. She would always see her around, but never had the courage to talk to her. She stared at her for a few more seconds, noticing how her eyes seemed to glint at whatever the other boy—Ratih's chair mate said. She shook her head and walked to her own desk.
She sat down and plopped her bag on the floor. She put her arms on the desk and rested her head down on them. She scanned the classroom for the dark brown eyes again, yearning to see them, and jumped a little when she saw they were staring right back. But as soon as the saw them, they shifted back to the raven boy.
Imajinasi ku aja kali.
As she was lost in her thoughts, the door slammed open, causing everyone to jump.
"Pagi semua. Maaf saya terlambat, ada keperluan mendadak. Sebelum mulai, ayo absen dulu." Bu Bada said, causing everyone to internally groan. Mila just tuned her out for the rest of the period, her thoughts drifting back to the warmness that occupied her mind everyday.
The rest of the day was a blur, and before she knew it, she was back in Yuda's car, heading home. They stopped on her driveway and she hopped out.
"Makasih ya mas udah mau nganter."
They waved goodbye, and Annie went into her house and straight to her room. She retired into her bed and stared at the ceiling.
Matanya... kenapa ku pikirin terus ya?
And with that thought, she closed her eyes and drifted unconscious.

The next few days went very similar to the first. When they entered the classroom, Yuda had three bandages on the left side of his face.
Once again, she searched for the dark brown eyes and found them. Her breath hitched when she saw they were filled with amusement. Ratih was laughing. She felt her face heat up a little, but slipped her stoic mask back on. She took a seat, and laid down on her arms. The same things as the days before, for some reason Bu Bada was always late, not that she was complaining.
First period went by in a flash, and she stood up, walking to her next period, English. While she was heading towards the class, she could feel a piercing gaze on her back. Mila turned her head and faced the stare, showing she wasn't intimidated.
Mila's eyes widened and took a step back. Her face started to heat up and she looked to the side trying to regain her composure.
"Duh." she muttered silently.
Ratih leaned in close to her ear, hand on her shoulder. "Saya tadi liat mbak memperhatikan ku." Ratih whispered with her soothing voice.
Persetan dia dan suara, dan wajahnya yang sempurna.
"I-iya, terus?" she said, staring straight back at the warm dark brown eyes she loved so much.
Apa aku barusan gagap? hah? Seorang Mila gak pernah gagap.
"Mbak tau nggak, kalau mbak kelihatan kayak orang aneh, ngeliatin aku terus." Ratih said, leaning back, smiling a bit.
Mila's face felt like it was on fire, but she she didn't falter from the other girl's stare. But when she tried to say something, nothing came out. She cursed herself. She looked so pathetic like this and the raven was still staring at her which wasn't helping.
"A-aku... duh..." Mila finally looked away, staring at the ground. She mentally kicked herself. This wasn't like her at all. She was the badass bitch.
"Hmm, kalo mbak mau... sebagai permulaan, kita bisa, entahlah, jalan-jalan berdua hari ini, ya?"
Mila looked up and grinned.
"Kamu ngajak aku kencan ya, Rat?"
Now it was Ratih's turn to turn red.
"Jadi.. mbak mau engga..?" she mumbled, face flushed. Mila smiled and nodded.
"Boleh."
