Chapter 01

Damn Monday.

Monday is a day that Mentari hates the most. First, because she had to go to school early in the morning for the flag ceremony, unlike other days where she could leave a little late. Second, because the teacher who is in charge of checking all the students in her school, kidnaps and takes them all to the BK room if someone is found violating school rules, it is none other than her BK teacher who is also a language teacher, as well as her homeroom teacher at school.

Senja Alexandro.

The man still looks young and becomes the idol of all the women in their school. Not only the teachers, even the students at the high school where Mentari studied were infatuated and enchanted by his good looks. It seems that in this school, the only person who is not fascinated by Senja's handsome and athletic body is only Mentari. For Mentari, Senja is a creature that assigned to disturb her peace and sanity.

When Mentari just became a new student at this high school, about a year ago, she started getting to know the BK teacher. Mentari, of course, did not go along with the other students, including her two close friends from junior high school who also enrolled in the same high school as her, to admire and become fans of Senja. For some reason, Mentari immediately felt antipathy to Senja Alexandro. The way the man looked at the people around him, his demeanor, was enough to prove to Mentari that Senja Alexandro was an cold man with a god-level arrogance. According to Mentari, Senja must have felt that he was taller than the other teachers, including the principal. Especially when the damn man stares at the students at their school. Maybe Senja thought his students were fleas or something.

Small, annoying and very annoying.

Ugh!

The beginning of her meeting and suffering was when she was caught beating two students from another school in a quiet alley near their high school. Mentari did that of course not because she liked to beat people up for no reason. This was done because Mentari overheard that the two of them were bullying and threatening one of her classmates, so that he was traumatized and didn't want to go to school. As a person who upholds the value of justice, likes to defend the weak since Mentari was in kindergarten—first because of the teachings of her parents, and secondly because she really likes Sailor Moon anime which always helps the weak—Mentari immediately intervened. She went to a place that he said was used by two other school hoodlums to bully the students at her school, then beat them all up.

Mentari is very beautiful. With her two perfectly round eyes, sharp nose, thin rosy lips and milky white skin, as well as a model-like slender body and black hair along her back, everyone would think that Mentari Jingga is a feminine and gentle girl. Needs to be guarded and protected. Unfortunately, they don't know that the true nature of Mentari Jingga is... like a wild cat who doesn't like her territory being disturbed by other cats.

In other words, that beautiful girl like a model is a complete tomboyish girl!

At that time, the orange sky was visible. Mentari deliberately chose the evening to carry out her actions so that the teachers would not know. She provoked their arrival by sending a letter to the school of the two delinquents, telling them to come to see her if they did not want their behavior to be reported to the police. And, as soon as Mentari finished teaching the two delinquents a lesson, the girl stood with a puffy chest and a proud face and smile. She put her hands on her hips, stepped on the backs of the two delinquents who groaned in pain and were helpless, then laughed and threatened both of them not to disturb the students at her school again. Then, when Mentari was preparing to go home, she froze because in front of her the figure of Senja Alexandro was visible. The BK teacher smiled at her, a smile that looked unnatural and very scary according to Mentari.

"Mentari Jingga, go to the BK room tomorrow morning at seven. I will not tolerate if you are late. If at seven o'clock in the morning you are not in the BK room, I will explain all this to the principal and to all students in the school."

The next day, Mentari got a bunch of lectures from a handsome teacher who was adored throughout the school and that very second, Mentari considered Senja as her mortal enemy. People she should stay away from, like the distance from Earth to Pluto when she is at school. Unfortunately, since then, Senja Alexandro has always watched her like a wolf watching its prey. Mentari's movements are limited, and she is often called by Senja to the BK room for all her behavior that violates school rules. Mentari was also surprised, even though she had done these things very carefully, Senja always managed to catch her. Wanting to explain until Mentari collapse that her actions were to help the oppressed people, Senja refused to accept and admit it. According to Senja, what Mentari did was wrong.

Period.

"You've been staring so long that you don't even realize that you've arrived at school, haven't you, Sweetheart?"

The question from her father made Mentari blink and she turned to look at her father and the school. Damn, how long has she been here? Ugh, that annoying human named Senja is already standing near the school gate, too! But, luckily he was talking to another teacher and didn't look at her. Good. The man must not know that she came with her father. So far, when she was called by Senja to the BK room to get Senja's version of enlightenment, Mentari has always been polite and respectful, always obeying and listening to Senja, so that Senja did not contact her father. Mentari is also picky about the day and time if she want to make trouble. Corrected, crushing the bullies in the school and its environment. So, Senja can not be aware of her father's presence or she will be screwed. Mentari does not want to make her father sad because of her behavior.

"Hehe... I have been thinking about the exam that will be held this afternoon by the history teacher, Dad. Mentari forgot to study last night and my teacher also gave the information about the test suddenly." Mentari took off her seat belt and kissed the back of her father's hand. "Dad, I'm off. See you later."

Ryan Kurniawan nodded and kissed the forehead of his only child. "Good luck, Sweetheart."

Getting out of the car, Mentari waved and waited until his father's car go away. She then gripped the two straps of her backpack firmly and started walking towards the school. In her heart, Mentari was muttering, asking God not to make Senja aware of her presence.

"Mentari Jingga."

Arrrgh! Mentari just wanted to scream because she was annoyed with her very bad fate. The girl took a deep breath and show her sweet smile. A smile that could make the boys around her blush and be mesmerized, but not with an annoying demon in front of her. Senja Alexandro put on a flat face and look. Then, all of a sudden, the goddamn teacher was grinning horribly, making Mentari's whole body shiver and have a goosebumps.

"Where's your tie?"

Tie?! Mentari immediately looked down and hit her own forehead while mumbled something. How could she forget to wear a tie today?!

What a cursed Monday! And one of the reasons Mentari's Monday is cursed is because of Senja Alexandro!
