Between Hope and Worries

…

"His nature is as it once was, and yet his existence begins to change between presence and absence."

-Jefri

Old friends are changing.

…

After spending a lot of time at home, Deva, Sian, and Vina decided to leave for school together by Lewis no doubt. What about Dino? Never mind, he would've been the last man Lewis left behind. Dino comes to appreciate that Lewis did the last thing he did, not without cause, but because Lewis always wanted to spend time with Dino. Dino really hates the time they spend together, because it's as much the same as you, 'Get out of the tiger barn and get into the crocodile pit,' Dino thought.

It's just a figure of speech. Dino meant to be willing to refuse or accept even if Lewis would always be around him, so being around lewis would be like handing over his adorable body to an old uncle like Lewis. Forget them polar pairing and summer, because just thinking about it has made half the story change genre.

Let's focus our eyes on Deva, Sian, and Vina who walking side by side into their schools. Yes, they've decided to walk side by side since yesterday evening or rather take Vina to her class, take a break, and leave school. Not for no reason, but Deva's too worried about Vina. Vina could have refused and walked alone every day, but all that would have been in vain if her rule was Deva. Yea Deva, the strange young man who used to scold people around him, especially when he found out that his 'lover' had become a famous woman at this school. Deva just doesn't want his "woman" to be bothered by any man other than herself, so maybe Deva is in a jealous mode.

Sian glanced briefly at Deva, "I never thought a man like Mr. Deva would be this feisty when guarding miss Vina." Then walk ahead of Deva and Vina so as not to get a shout in addition with a full Deva package delivery.

Deva gazed intently at Sian's back as he grew out of his reach. He was going to pursue and avenge him, but his intentions were to be clouded by the sight of the many eyes upon him and Vina. With a sigh of resignation, Deva walked up the stairs with his empty eyes or daydreaming.

Vina who looked at it only chuckled slowly enough, fearing it would make Deva worse. Well, despite the obvious look on her face today, Deva is clearly in a bad mood due to the recent blow. Seeing Deva sharpen his eyebrows while daydreaming made Vina a bit surprised by two things. First because Deva was so handsome in such daydreaming, second because Deva was able to walk up the stairs without stumbling even a bit.

Just like now, Deva is daydreaming about something by keeping her feet on the stairs. According to Sian it's a very strange way of walking, really. Sian couldn't stop thinking with, 'how could Deva walk and climb the stairs in such a stupensive or dreamy way?' As Sian was awed by his recent discovery today, he captured the moment by recording it using the small camera with which he always carried.

"Oh! What an unexpected natural phenomenon this morning, Mrs. Jennies ought to know how unique her grandson is.." The Sian murmured that kept pointing his camera at Deva, occasionally he pointed it at Vina too, but very rarely because Vina was so sensitive to the camera that she was exhaling.

Before that time nearly half the students in the school continued to look with amazement and praise for beauty and beauty. Yes, Sian was a man with a very beautiful face, even an old man himself still having doubts about his gender. It was natural for Sian, but it was rare for anyone to notice him when Sian was walking alone. Let's just say his existence is very thin and that sometimes if he goes without someone beside him, it is certain that others will think of her as thin air. Pity, however it did add points plus for Sian to spy on Deva unnoticed.

Get back to Deva.

He's still so busy with his revenge plans for Sian, he's suddenly standing right in front of Vina's class. Suddenly Deva turned her smile to Vina and slightly scrambled her hair.

"Well.. Here you go, don't be studying so hard." Deva said with a little bending, and then Vina nodded her head in a sign that she understood and obeyed Deva's orders.

"Aye captain!" Giving a respectful pose to Deva, and then receiving a wave of his hand also a blow kiss from Deva.

The scene of the less crowded origin soon became very boisterous Shouting from fans Deva and Vina who saw they're second drama. Vina is so ashamed, inverse compared to Deva being indifferent because of her affinity only and would stick to vina (probably).

The late Sian filmed Deva and Vina adding to the atmosphere by shouting a few words that made the other students even more heated. Some were busy watching Deva and Vina in silence and also feeling jealous, some walked away from the hall in anger as well, some were busy capturing the moment as you did, some were busy cutting through Deva and Vina, and the rest were just some level one student council members who ran into the commotion with the vice President who carried a note book saying, 'school order' to Deva and Vina.

As vice President approached the 10th class of math and physics, all of the students who were good at harassing and escalating started to leave by running to their classes. Jefri the vice President could not stop shaking his head at all by Deva's unchanging conduct. Mischievous and loud that ends up becoming herself as the center of attention, jefri thought. Although they did not grow up to be teenagers at the same school, Jefri was very familiar with Deva's unattractive ways among the people.

It's true, but jefri still worries about Deva today. Look at Deva's face today. He laughed, he smiled, he became such a different person that he shed tears of joy, but Jefri still worried about the sullen 'Deva' as well as the antisocial. Jefri worried about Deva being completely lonely if he became himself, Jefri still wished that his childhood friend and friend had truly felt his name 'happy without sorrow,' sometimes Jefri would have stayed up all night worrying about such small things from Deva.

Huh..

Take a deep breath, then go back to being a firm and undeniable vice President. Jefri patted Deva softly on his shoulder, "Devana Clano, right?". Jefri asked, only as a formality as a matter of fact.

Deva tense her up a bit as jefri clapped her on the shoulder all of a sudden, "i-iya is me. Ri?" Deva's words got a little hung up as he turned around and saw jefri staring at her so intently, as if he would kill deva anytime he wanted.

Deva tense her up a bit as jefri clapped her on the shoulder all of a sudden, "Y-yea is me, Jef... ri?". Deva's words got a little hung up as he turned around and saw Jefri staring at him so intently, as if he would kill Deva anytime he wanted.

"Horrible... hisssh!". Deva was going to call Jefri worse than that, but failed because Sian had already pulled his ears a little hard.

Sian's laughing insidiously by pulling Deva's ears to approach him, "Ahahaha.. Forgive his behavior, he's just trying to cosplay into a failed performer. So ignore him. If you'll excuse me, let's brothers and sisters." Then walked down the stairs with his loyal hands pulling at Deva's ears.

"Hufff~".

"Jef, are you okay?". Asked someone who Jefri identified as one of the student council members on trial.

Jefri nodded softly, "I'm fine, come on." Jefri said, heading downstairs.

"E-ehhh?! Where you goin? You were going after that student, weren't you?" She asked again, which made Jefri a little reluctant to answer.

But a person who listens to a second conversation answers the question, "No. Before we meet the new student, Jefri said he would return the 'school order' book he held to the extracurricular science room where senior class President is." Obviously, then replied the eye glance from Jefri.

"Ooh, like that. Ah yes! I forgot! I forgot! Totally forgot! But I don't remember things I forgot!!".

Jefri and a man named Jeyno on his left can only roll his lazy eyeballs.

'forgetful bottom ', the second one at the same time.

"You two are really like the Himalayan peaks! Cold and dumb! Yuck." Then thump and leave Jefri and Jeyno up the stairs.

But Jefri pulled at the person's hand, and he drifted back towards the rear.

"Don't put everything in your heart, come with us and meet the chairman. Weren't you two very close and said you had a special 'relationship'?" Asked Jeyno, with a hint of flirtation.

Bluuuush~

Rosy face reddened, even to her ears.

About to chide Jeyno's joke, but fail because someone they are talking about is watching as they go down the stairs.

And end with Jefri following Rosy in front of her own student council President.

…

[ In Deva Class ]

30 minutes have passed, but not one teacher has come and taught in his class. Maybe they had a sudden meeting? Or are you lazy to teach a class that's Deva's stay? Hm.. Seems like the last choice didn't make sense to Deva and all the students in the class.

Deva held up the chin with his right hand on the table and looked straight into the field with an empty gaze, or daydreaming. Leave him like that for the next few minutes, and no teacher would scold him if he lost his mind this time. Except Sian.

Tuk!

Just as Deva was thinking that Sian would interfere with his daydreaming, he'd already got a flick from that people. Rolling the lazy eyes without question, Deva resumed his daydreaming in hopes of being undisturbed by the number of times.

Sian returned to harass good Deva daydreaming without inviting him, once in a while he covered Deva's nose to divert his daydreams towards Sian. Snickering softly without stopping all interference, his final pause stopped and followed Deva's view far into the school grounds.

"Young Master, what thing you saw there?". Asked Sian in a little quiet his voice, fearing if anyone would find out that Deva is the master and he is a keeper.

"Either... I only thought of my destiny ahead of him. About how I'm going to further my education, about how I relate to you present today, and about everything.. Even about how I'm going to accept a problem so well without emotion." Deva had obviously shifted her gaze a bit towards Sian, so did Sian who looked at him deeply enough.

Until Deva broke contact with those eyes with a faint laugh, "Hahaha, you must be confused. Forget it, forget it." Then returned to the front of the board because a secretary in his class was writing something.

"Hopes and worries, huh?"
