Returning to the present, after kan parted ways with Dan, she walked back to class with a slight smile, thinking that San probably had feelings for Aji. However, Aji and kan were not close friends; it was just that back in the village where kan used to live, Aji was San's neighbor, and the three children used to play together. After San moved away, only Aji and kan remained at the age of six. But Aji's house was not near Kan, and Aji made new friends, just as Kan made a new friend meeting Hana at that time. However, after an accident occurred, Kan moved her house from the village she used to live in to a village far from there, within the same district but in a different commune, and kan also changed schools.
"Where have you been?" Hana asked after seeing kan walk in, just as it was almost time to go home and everyone was packing their bags.
"Mmm! From the teacher's office!" Kan spoke while pointing to show Hana that she had broken the rules, which is why she was there. Mala, before leaving with her friends, came to ask Hana briefly why she was still cleaning the restrooms after finishing the punishment.
"Oh, since I've already started cleaning, I want to clean them for three months," Hana said with a small laugh, then said it was fine as she lightly tapped Mala's shoulder. Thus, Mala had nothing more to say and bid Hana goodbye. Vice-President Lida also came to ask why she hadn't seen Kan earlier. Kan told her the same thing she told Hana, but Lida jokingly asked in a long, questioning tone, "Really…?" Class President Mutu, who was also packing his bag, came near and confirmed, "That's right, I also helped her with some work at the teacher's office!" kan smiled awkwardly and thanked the Class President again in front of everyone. Vice-President Neaya left without saying a word. Hana remembered something; she told Siv Siv to walk with kan and said she would go ahead because she wanted to talk to Vice-President Neaya for a bit, so she would wait at the school gate. Having said that, she left.
"Neaya! Neaya!" Hana walked near and stopped her. "Is there something?" Neaya asked normally. "This Sunday, do you want to come make food together at my house?" "Your house?" She asked with a different nuance: "Your house?" acting as if Hana were the owner of that house and had built it herself! She seemed to feel a bit uncomfortable because when Class President Mutu spoke earlier, he was with Kan, but his eyes were fixed on Hana. She redirected her previous question a bit, realizing she had overstepped; she shouldn't be angry with anyone, as Mutu was nothing to her she just had one-sided feelings in her heart. "Your house? Maybe that won't work!" Mala spoke politely. "There's no reason it won't work. That day, if you don't want it to be just the two of us, you can invite Vice-President lida, and I'll invite my friends and some of Mala's friends. That day, we can cook and do self-study together, okay?" Mala smiled in disbelief, thinking in her heart whether she still had to do self-study even though she was a top student in the school and class.
"Mmm!" Anyway, she agreed and then went her separate way alone. Vice-President lida also saw this from a distance; as she walked past Hana, she smiled a bit, showing they were parting and acknowledging each other. Hana stood waiting at the school gate, looking at a video on her phone of her cat playing because she had forgotten to top up her phone credit and was frustrated at having no internet, only able to watch old videos. She watched and smiled. She also saw a male student standing in front of the school gate; she glanced at him briefly then looked back at her video. At that moment, Siv Siv and kan arrived. Although kan saw him from a distance and tried to hide behind Siv Siv, she could not escape Niv's eyes. The female students walking past Niv called out to him because they knew Niv as a member of the school volleyball team; even though Niv was not the most famous in the team, everyone knew him. Niv smiled politely and waved to Siv Siv, who had kan behind her!
"Huh? Me? Is the junior calling me?" Siv Siv pointed at herself, increasingly puzzled. "Mmm! Does he have to do this? Why do I feel so nervous? He is a junior, younger than me, so why should I be nervous? I must keep my composure," kan thought, then emerged from leaning behind Siv Siv, acting as if she were hugging Siv Siv's waist playfully for intimacy. Because she had done that earlier, Siv Siv was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong? Who are you avoiding?" kan diverted, saying she wasn't avoiding anyone, she just wanted to hug Siv Siv playfully from behind. If Siv Siv were to push her hands away, Kaan spoke like that so Siv Siv wouldn't suspect she was avoiding something. At this moment, Kaan adjusted her posture and acted as if she hadn't seen Niv, even though Niv greeted Senior Siv!
"Hello, Senior!" His eyes glanced at kan occasionally while kan was busy pretending to do this and that, not looking at him. "Oh! Niv? Why are you standing here?" "Oh, I'm waiting for someone. What about you, Senior?" "We're heading out! This is Hana waiting for me and kan, so I'm going now!" Hana, who saw them approaching earlier, had stopped watching the video and smiled, waiting for them to arrive. However, it wasn't that she didn't see Niv, she just didn't speak to him!
"Wait, Senior! Can I have a moment to talk to Senior kan?" Siv Siv and Hana turned around while kan also turned, thinking in her heart, "Why is he such a good actor?" "Oh…" Siv Siv prolonged her voice a bit, thinking in her heart that there must be something or it was strange. "Sure, sure! We'll wait here." Then Siv Siv pushed kan forward, her expression showing that kan wouldn't get away with it and would have to tell her everything when she returned don't try to lie, haha. Kan and Niv went near the school fence. Immediately, Niv said, "I'm sorry!" making kan not expect him to apologize to her at all.
"I'm sorry, Senior! You don't have to worry about my request. It's enough if Senior doesn't struggle to avoid me or feel uncomfortable when meeting me; let me apologize once more!" "Mmm!" Kan sighed a bit. Actually, she wasn't being arrogant; she just felt a certain kind of nervousness. "I… I… Mmm! You apologizing like this makes me feel wrong in a way. Actually, the reason I blocked you was just because I couldn't face it; it's very difficult. Think about it: suddenly you come and request to court me, and I refuse how am I supposed to face you? I felt I was in the wrong; it's not that you're scary, cruel, or bad!" Speaking to this point, a small laugh, suppressed with effort, erupted it was Niv. He was amused by the Senior's words saying he wasn't scary or cruel; hearing that made him want to laugh, seeing Kan as even more cute. "I understand!" kan replied. Then he said, "Senior, please don't block me! I won't message to disturb you or make you feel uncomfortable. And if we meet, Senior doesn't even need to talk to me; I know Senior doesn't know me yet, which is why you feel that way! So just be normal, don't think too much! That's all from me. Thank you and sorry, Senior! I'll be going now, my friends are here." Niv then left with his friends, also saying goodbye to the two seniors who were waiting for Kan.
"Oh… Mmm!" ka had replied like this earlier. After that, she didn't wait for Siv Siv to ask and told her everything that happened. Siv Siv was stunned how could she dare block Niv on Facebook like that? Kan could only smile awkwardly in response. "Hey! You have no opinion? You just keep watching cat videos and walking and laughing?" Siv Siv asked Hana jokingly. "Oh… I don't know what kind of advice to give, but if Niv is a good person, don't avoid him; just act normally." "Yeah, finally our kan has someone pursuing her!" Siv Siv went to squeeze kan's shoulder, but kan seemed uncomfortable with the idea of someone loving her; yet if she could secretly love someone… this ka is truly unbelievable.
They reached the bus stop and saw a police van carrying a group of students; their uniforms looked like both public school students and students from private schools. "What's the matter with them?" kan asked. "kan and Hana, don't you know the news? Yeah! They probably skipped school to do nonsense things, like these days: vaping, smoking, skipping school to play games, riding motorcycles recklessly and illegally, or causing brawls; the police caught them and took them to the station and contacted the school and parents. They can't do anything to these students, but having been present like this, their names are now in a bad record."
Kan said quietly, "I hope no one from our school is like that!" Siv Siv laughed. "kan, do you want to forbid the fish from tasting the hook's bait? It's not certain that our school has only good students… but maybe there are, because none of our students have been carried in a police van and had the teacher called yet," Siv Siv spoke while laughing. However, it was seen that kan was thinking about tan he rides a big motorcycle, wears a black jacket and a black helmet, and that day he had a problem with someone she didn't know who ganged up to beat him before when it was raining. Her thoughts were not known by anyone. A moment later, the bus arrived; Siv Siv left. A while later, they got off the bus and walked to their respective homes. Hana noticed that someone was following her, but she did not react at all, acting as if she didn't know someone was following. That person, wearing a mask and a hooded jacket, learned where Hana's house was and then left. Hana knew she was being followed, so why did she continue to let them know where her house was? Right, what could a student like her do? If they were following, they surely knew she was a student and would find her address through the school anyway, so she didn't need to avoid them and let them know she knew they were following. What was that person's intention?
