The Opener ➖ [English Version]

"Milo!" Ken called him.

Milo stopped his steps and Ken's hand immediately landed on his shoulder. They then walked together.

"What are you reading?" Ken asked.

"Just usual," Milo replied as he focused on looking at the article on his cell phone.

"Aren't you tired of reading all the time? You've been doing the same since middle school. At first, I was happy to have friends who like to read, but now I don't. I'm sticking with you because we have been friends since middle school."

Milo smiled faintly, "But I'm smart, right? The proof is that I went to science class, while you went to social class."

"Sshhh... I entered social class because I really like it. Besides, I have no intention to become a doctor."

"What is the relation?"

"Social studies can almost go into all majors, except medicine school. Do you know that later when I go to college my brain will be really used? Now I want my brain to rest first during high school, for these 3 years," Ken explained passionately.

"Yeah, simply you are stupid. Don't be complicated," Milo replied.

"Why do you say like that? I told you, I don't want--"

"Both of you quarrel again," said Nita, cutting Ken's words.

Milo immediately locked the phone screen and put it in his pocket, then smiled kindly at the girl in front of him. "Let's go to the cafeteria, Nit!" said Milo.

"No!" Ken protested, "We're going to drink ice coconut water in front of the school! Why are we going to the canteen instead?"

"Huh?" Milo's eyebrows immediately raised, "Since when? You didn't say anything earlier."

"I told you this morning! When I was riding my motorbike when we passed."

Milo tried to remember, "Ah! Do you mean that?! Yes, that's your fault. This morning you just said, "Ice coconut water!!!" while shouting and riding a motorbike."

"Then what do you think I'm shouting for? Selling ice coconut water? Of course not."

Nita, who had been watching for a while, finally step in, "Enough, okay!? Now let's just buy ice coconut water because the canteen will be crowded as hell. I'll just follow you."

Ken looked sarcastically, "Girl, why are you following us again? You don't have any friends?"

Annoyed, Nita immediately stabs Ken's eyes and he immediately shouted. "AAA…! MY EYES!!!" Ken shouted.

Nita sighed and immediately grabbed Milo's hand, "Just the two of us, leave Ken alone."

Milo smiled and nodded, he followed Nita who pulled his hand, took him away to the ice coconut water seller, and left Ken who was still struggling with his eyes.

At the ice coconut water seller.

"Are you coming home this week?" asked Nita while sipping her ice coconut water.

"I guess so," Milo replied, chewing the coconut flesh in his mouth.

"Why?" 

"I just feel comfortable being alone."

"Oh, yeah... You must feel uncomfortable to always get asked about girlfriend. Sorry, I forgot, even though you just talked about it last week."

"That's because you're senile!" replied Ken who suddenly came. This man also doesn’t forget to steal Nita's glass and drank it straight away.
