One semester has passed, now the students at the school are entering a new semester. Likewise with Olivia, she return to study after enjoying a holiday of approximately 1 month.
Olivia then got out from her car. She has been allowed by her mother for her to drive her own car to school. The car is very clean and fragrant, like the smell of ocean escape. There are not many things in her car, only the things she need for school. She also doesn't put too many stickers or knick-knacks. Only one thing that makes her comfortable and at home while driving, namely because music always accompanies her during the trip.
At first it all go as usual, when she is walking into the ground floor, then take the elevator. When she is entering her classroom, something strange is happening.
If in the previous semester, her friends still want to sit next to her, but now not anymore. The seat she used to sit in semester 1, is now occupied by someone else. There is only 1 empty seat and it is located at the back end on the left. But Olivia don't realize there is a problem at that time, she still looks relax and continue to sit on the empty bench.
After she sit down, she feel something strange from her female friends. There are various gestures from her friend that show something dislike.
There is something like talking about her while glancing. Some then look at her while laughing, and some look at her with piercing eyes and grinning smiles. The nature of her female friends is the same as Naomi's attitude towards her.
Olivia starts to feel surprising, she still tries to be nice to them, like smiling at them. But Olivia's efforts are in vain, none of her friends pay attention to her.
Olivia grumble to herself, "Is there something wrong with me? Is it my uniform, or my shoes, or even my face?"
Olivia looks all over her body from bottom to top, but she doesn't find any faults. When she turns back to the front, she sees Naomi who has just arrived and put her bag on the table she used to sit on.
Naomi then also looking at Olivia. And Olivia feels that Naomi seems to be saying something in her heart, because it is obvious from the look on her face.
The bell is ringing, and it signal that class is about to start.
"Good morning class!" The English subject teacher greeting with great joy.
"For today's task, you have to do it in pairs. Because it will take a lot of time if you do it yourself."
It's usually not difficult for Olivia to find a partner to look for assignments, but today she is having a hard time. No one wants to work on the task together with her, she then confuse. Maybe today, the lucky is still on Olivia's side, the teacher chooses a group for Olivia, even though Olivia's presence is not very welcome in the group.
Naomi is very happy to see Olivia's misery, she feels her plan this time is working. She also believes 100% or maybe more than 100%, the popularity she once had will be back into her hands.
The recess bell is ringing, Olivia feels that there is something she has missed. She then go to one of her friends' bench to take notes. However, this time Olivia is unlucky.
"Elsa, can I borrow your material notes?" Olivia is very polite, because of her mother's upbringing. The fruit is not far from the tree.
"I won't talk or let you touch my stuff! And don't ever touch me!" What's wrong with Elsa?
Olivia is confuse, but she remains positive. "Maybe Elsa is on her period or maybe she's having problems with her boyfriend." Olivia then tries to borrow it from another friend. But the response remains the same.
Never mind talking, Olivia hasn't time to touch their table yet. Only having time to step towards them, the 3 girls who are having fun in conversation then left the classroom, without hearing a word or asking what Olivia is coming to their table for.
Olivia is confuse, honestly she doesn't understand the current situation at all. "What is wrong with me?" She doesn't feel there is anything missing or different from her. Olivia is still the old Olivia. There is no change in her at all.
In class, Olivia only pensive. She can't focus on studying, especially this math lesson. She is thinking about today's events.
Then she remember one thing. "Is this just a dream?" She then pinches herself, hoping this is just a bad dream and she will wake up and has a normal day as usual.
"OUCHHH!" Her friends are looking at Olivia, because she is screaming and catch everyone's attention.
"If you want an attention, this is not the place for!" Naomi answers in hatred, hoping that everyone will imitate what she did. And it turns to be true. "You're just being annoying! If you want to make noise, go out there!" Says another friend.
It feels like Olivia wants to cry. She is shame and sad because of the actions of her friends. "What did I do to them? I don't have a problem with all of them. I've never been rude or even mean to them."
"Then why do they act like that?" Olivia can only leaves the classroom with the down head, she can't holds her tears. She also can't bear to look at other people, because she thinks their actions will be like her classmates.
Olivia's out from her car in a hurry after arriving home. She goes straight to her house and quickly climbs the stairs to her room. She doesn't change her uniform at all, she also doesn't even take off her shoes. Olivia keeps using it in bed, until she burst into tears.
