The break bell had rung early. The corridors of the school were crowded with students of AngkasaRaya High School who were enjoying their break before the class started again. 

The classes were deserted, including the XI IPA 3 class which was now completely empty, leaving only a long-haired student who was busy writing poetry for a competition that would be held in two weeks. After the first semester was over, the girl named Deo still had to think about the poetry competition for her school.

She shook her pen with the thumb and forefinger of her right hand because she had no ideas to write in the poem that had only finished 1 line. Trying to find a good sentence, the shaking of his pen suddenly slowed down as a memory that happened 8 months ago returned. Memories that Deo desperately wanted to forget, 

"AAAA," the girl named Deo suddenly shouted and threw away her ballpoint pen. Her breathing started to get irregular. Fortunately the class was quiet, so it wasn't too embarrassing for Deo. A female student peeked out from behind the classroom door, Deo gave the girl a sharp look and then looked away. She took a deep breath, her eyes staring at the ballpoint pen that had fallen on one of the table legs. Deo pushed her hair back, before picking up the ballpoint pen again.

Deo tried to pick up the ballpoint pen that was thrown under the table leg. Without moving from his chair, Deo only relied on his two hands. Suddenly his hands stopped when he saw footsteps approaching him from the corner of his eye, for some reason the classroom was suddenly dark. He felt familiar with the current atmosphere.

Deo looked up, wanting to see who the owner of the foot was.

Deg

That face?

"Aaaa DON'T COME CLOSE!!!" Deo screamed so loudly dark memories started to pop up in her brain. That was 8 months ago, and I still can't get over it?

Deo opened her palms that were covering her face.

Deo began to look around her which returned to light as before, it turned out that there was no one alias empty her breathing began to be irregular. He immediately took a pencil and inhaled greedily. Deo played his fingers anxiously, why did the memory always appear? One incident that made her life change drastically in her relationship.

Unable to take it anymore, Deo reached into his bag and took out a white box and took out 3 capsules from inside. He also did not forget to take the drink bottle in his bag. He immediately swallowed the 3 capsules.

"Only if you are really not strong, you can use this medicine. But it's better to endure the anxiety by breathing alternately to calm down." The woman in the white coat handed over a small box containing the tranquilizer. Deo immediately took the box and grasped it tightly.

Flashback on :

The woman in the suit opened the book, "1 day maximum 2 capsules. No more, take it regularly morning and night to avoid nightmares."

Deo didn't really listen to the doctor's words, she stared at the medicine with a thirst for peace. She would get that peace with this medicine in her hand.

"Promise?" 

Deo nodded in agreement with the doctor's words.

But now Deo wasn't listening to the doctor.

Flashback off :

"I will find you, and kill you before you kill me." Deo muttered, quickly putting the medicine into the bag. 

"What medicine is that?" 

Deo stopped in shock as he recognized the voice very well. His body turned around to see the two girls who had just returned from the cafeteria, as evidenced by the drinks in their hands. 

"Nothing" Deo quickly dodged and tried to calm down. But the way he squeezed his bag which he didn't zipper at all made the two girls even more confused while watching Deo's hands intensely.

The suspicious Tasya immediately approached Deo, her hand moving to take the bag that was tightly grasped by its owner. But just touched, Deo had quickly pulled the bag into his arms. 

Deo looked at Tasya sharply, "I didn't say anything." Deo held back his emotions, he quickly put all the books on the table into his bag as well as his stationery. 

After everything was in the bag, Deo immediately closed the zipper of his bag and walked out of the class. He wanted to continue writing his poem elsewhere, seeing Geya and Tasya who had returned, maybe the other students would also go to their classes.

"Deo! Ish!" growled Tasya as she stomped her foot on the ground.

"Never mind, Deo is like that, let it go," Geya explained to Tasya who was upset drinking the ice she brought from the canteen. 

They sat in their respective places. Tasya sat parallel to Deo while Geya sat in front of Tasya parallel to the class leader, Cakra. 

At first Tasya sat with Geya, because besides being friends they were also cousins and even close neighbors. So it's no wonder that the two of them are always together even if there is a fight of any size around them, they will always be together. They will force themselves to be together and always be together.

Regarding Geya's words saying that now? Yes because Deo used to be cheerful and tried to be friendly to everyone. Even that girl rarely snapped, but now she began to move away to approach the corner of solitude and loneliness. 

According to Deo herself, it was the right thing at the moment. Even Deo began to stay away from her two best friends Tasya and Geya. It was enough for me to feel the tension and fear every time I woke up.

Tap tap tap tap tap

Deo who walked with a bag hanging on one shoulder and a book in his hand made himself the attention of the students who were still in the school corridor. Even so Deo continued to walk at a fast tempo, not forgetting the sharp eyes that stare towards the front. 

Whisper after whisper kept coming, but Deo ignored what they said. 

Want to know what they whispered to Deo? 

"Where is she going? Going home?"

"You don't want to reprimand that girl?"

"Deo is getting scarier and scarier"

"Strange"

"Look at that bitch, she can still walk upright in this school," sneered a girl who was watching Deo retreating backwards.

"Isn't her relationship with her best friends, Geya and Tasya getting strained?" asked a girl on her left. She looked at the girl who had just spoken on her left, Friskha. And turned to the girl on her right, Ajeng.

"Naturally," replied Ajeng while looking back. "ANYWAY, ANYWAY!!!" Ajeng deliberately raised her voice to attract the attention of everyone in the corridor. 

Deo also heard Ajeng's shout, but she didn't care. After all, people in this world can only berate someone without knowing the truth. Hehe, embarrassing isn't it?

"How can anyone dare to be friends with him? He's weird like that, she deserves her friends to stay away. He deserves all that anyway!" Ajeng continued. Everyone in the corridor laughed at that.

"God's retribution is real or not?" Said a girl who seemed to be the leader of the 3 girls around her.

"But it's not enough to just expel her from this school. This school is not fit for someone who has spent the night with her best friend's fiancé." Friskha clenched her palms together to channel her emotions, she was reminded of her sad breakup with her ex-fiancé.
