Best Mate [English Version]

Bab 1

Rheya, Eri, and Fara often gossip about Niko and his line of exes. Calculating how long Niko has been dating? Because they once calculated that Niko's record for the longest relationship was three months and two days. Then guess who Niko's next target girl is?

    Guess Fara is a cute and pretty junior, even Rheya said she was far from planet Niko. But, who would have thought, Niko's next target girl was...

    "I am?" Rheya's eyes widened in shock.

    "Yes, you." Niko's flamboyant smile was still perfect.

    "Why?" Rheya's eyes blinked once. Her brain suddenly stopped, suddenly Niko shot her.

    Wait! Wait! Someone just shot - Rheya Adhisti? That someone is Niko Harish! The coolest guy in the universe at *SMA 1000 Jakarta. Is this serious? It's not just a dream, right? Or some kind of joke?
(*Senior high school)

    "You're pretty."

    Niko's answer made Rheya blush. For a moment, she was lost in the seduction of the flamboyant. Blushing to the point of redness on her cheeks, but... her heart wasn't pounding.

    "Excuse me." Rheya woke herself up from her reverie. "Right now I want to focus on studying first. Sorry."

    "..." The crescent smile, the flamboyant charm that Niko spread disappeared in disappointment.

    Rheya returned the book she was holding to the shelf, then walked away from Niko, not wanting to borrow the book. Currently, she is the stupidest girl for rejecting Niko, and the most hated girl if she accepts Niko. Oh, she hoped her rejection wouldn't make Niko hate her.

"Well, where's the Lupus, Rhe?" Eri saw Rheya enter the classroom without Lupus in her arms.

    "Wrote poetry with *Gusur." Rheya sat at the same table as Eri.
(*one of the characters in the novel Lupus)

    "What is it?" Fara, who was sitting at the front table, turned her body backwards.

    "Earlier in the library someone shot me."

    "Wow!" Eri's lips rounded like donuts, she didn't believe it but was happy to hear it.

    "Accepted?" Fara's eyes flashed with curiosity.

    "I said I wanted to focus on studying first."

    Eri and Fara heard groans of disappointment. It's clear they hope Rheya will soon leave her single life behind.

    Of the three of them, only Fara was in a relationship with an senior, then broke up because the senior was having an affair with a girl from the next school. Eri has never been in a relationship, at least had a crush. Meanwhile, Rheya has never been in a relationship, not even a crush.

    "Who?" Eri pressed her body close to Rheya, curious.

    "Niko."

    "Hm?"

    "Niko Harish?"

    Rheya nodded.

    Fara's eyes flashed with curiosity, Eri's donut - like 'wow' face disappeared and was replaced with a look of ridicule. One word that was clearly visible on their faces was impossible.

    "Niko Harish that we gossip about every day?" Eri confirmed, Rheya nodded. "Like you?" After confirming again, Rheya nodded again. "Yeah, that's impossible." Her other hand waved. "You fantasize too much. If you fall in love with books for too long, this is what happens."
