one and only (Editing)

The bell rang meaning the one hour period for one tutorial have come to an end.

"That's all for today, everyone. No homework and you shall move to the next class", Sir Ying closed his physics textbook and started to clean the whiteboard.

I packed all of my stuffs into my bag and peeked at my phone to check if there is any urgent call or text. My routine after every tutorials end.

"Thank you Sir Ying", I said before left the tutorial room. At the one side of the school corridor, I saw Eleanor waved at me. For science we both took different subjects as I found Physics is interesting while she took Biology because she wanted to become a veterinarian.

"I'm hungry. Snacks before the next class?", she asked.

"Sure. Plus, Miss Emerie won't mind it if we come a bit late", the soft-spoken lecturer's face appeared in my mind. The lecturer that will always have a smile on her face. But sometimes when needed, she will become like a tiger ready to slaughter the cows. And that's why people really respect her, because she know when is the right time to be angry at students.

When we entered the locker room, Revus was there in front of his locker busy arranging his stuffs. I sneaked and his locker was a mess. When he saw me sneaking, he leaned on his locker's door and watched me taking out my physics book and put it neatly inside my locker.

"She was drunk last night. She took my locker key and I don't know how but looks like she tried to find something inside here. And she created this mess", he rolled his eyes.

"Lehna?", I asked and he nodded.

"Wow, she's quite impressive. A very protective secret admirer", I laughed jokingly when Revus shook his head and rolled his eyes again. "How did you managed to get your key back?".

"Amar got it back for me. He was on duty last night and fortunately he knew that this is my locker so he took the key from Lehna", Revus explained how Amar, the security guard helped.

"You better be extra careful after this. Your secret admirer is terrifying", I advised him and handed him chocolate since I knew he was a chocolate lover.

"Thanks. Next class?", he asked, taking a big bite of the chocolate, still leaning on his locker's door.

"History. But Eleanor and I are thinking about going to cafe first. This stomach is crying, wanting to be fill with food. Join us?", I kindly invited him. He looked like he was so hungry and can finish the big bar of chocolate just in one bite.

"Thanks but nope. Miss Pia is a very punctual person, and I think you know that too", he shook his head still trying to finish the chocolate. "Art class?", he nodded as a yes for my question.

"So, you have to go now. 6 more minutes before the next period", I said panicked for him.

"Sure but I'm going outside with you", he closed his locker's door and locked it. I rolled my eyes looking at his naughty smile. "Don't you dare to make people assume that I'm you girlfriend again asshole. I'm tired being hate by your admirers", I sneered.

"Why not? C'mon, I know you always got my back", he winked, grabbed my arm after I locked my locker's door. Eleanor was at the door already talking with someone. To avoid the corridor being crowded, Sir Sheikh came with an idea to build few locker's room with students' locker inside. One locker's room for each grade and one for the new students. Sir Sheikh's idea was great and it started to reduce crowd at the corridor.

As I stepped outside, Adrian was there talking with Eleanor. Adrian waved at me while Revus walked toward him and hug his shoulder. "This missing member of our club is now my new classmate for Art Class", Revus said jokingly making Adrian punched his chest slowly.

My forehead creased.
"Where are you hiding in these two months, Adrian", I said in a serious tone. He slowly scratched the back of his head. "Sorry, I didn't meant to do that. Things happened unexpectedly. Sorry and I'm ready to accept my punishment. I'll do anything, will even leave the club if that's the punishment", he said, his eyes filled with guilty.

Before I continued speaking, Revus stopped me trying to defend Adrian. "I don't think this is the right time for you guys to discuss about it because we both have a very important tutorials in 2 more minutes. Elisha, I'll try to talk with him and bring him back to the club and Eleanor please help Elisha with her decision", Revus grinned, winked at Eleanor and pushed Adrian to the direction of their Art Class.

"We talked just now and seems like he is interested going back into the club. Please consider that", Eleanor simply explained while we walked to the cafe.

I waited for papa to fetch me up at school. He promised to come at 1730. Peeked at my watch, it was 1815 already but he was still nowhere to be seen.

I actually always drove myself to the school and back to home but since I have meeting with the other club's presidents, I decided to ask my father to take me at school because he was on the morning duty so I thought his working time will ended exactly on the time I finished my meeting. But, I forgot that his job sometimes need him more than the working time that have been set.

Decided to book a Grab Car when out of the moon blue, a car stopped in front of me. The driver's lowered the passenger front's mirror. "Come inside, I'll take you back to home", the driver said.

"Adrian!", I exhaled in relieve as I realised it was Adrian inside the car at the driver's seat. I hesitated at first, but he smiled and kept on convincing me. After a few minutes, I decided to accept his offer. Keeping on a positive mindset that he was not a serial killer or raper that acted good.

The silence filled the car all the way back to my home. He chose something to play on the radio and in just a few seconds, the song of Nocturne by Chopin played beautifully in the car. Again, it's Randy's favourite song!

"Hey, Isha. I'm sorry for my two months absent in the club", he broke the silence chain, sincerely asking for forgiveness. I turned my head facing him. Although he was not looking at me and focused on the road, I can still see the sorrow painted on his face.

"Sure. Your attendances were perfect in the report I have sent to Sir Jack just now", looking back to the front because I felt like I was losing in his Randy-aura.

"Seriously?", his voice was a key higher than usually and it shocked me.

"Do you really have to shout like that? You almost kills me, Adrian", I slowly massaged my chest, trying to calm myself. He looked at me, slowly patted my hair and stared right into my eyes.

"Thank you, Isha. If only you know, how much this thing mean for me", he said, very sofly from usually and it gave me a very undescribable feeling.

Time started to be so fast, my mind wandered far and I didn't even realized that whe I arrived at home, I went straight into my bedroom, lie down on my comfortable bed and fell asleep. It happened so fast that I found myself still in my school's attire the next morning.
