Chapter 2

Since then, Mr. Arka hasn't been able to focus on teaching because he saw Naya and Juna. especially after what happened this morning. There was a feeling of disdain in his heart seeing the two of them close.

"Sorry sir, so what are we studying today?" asked one of the students because Mr. Arka had not given them questions or explained the lesson.

"There isn't any." the answer was cold.

"What do you mean? Free class?"

"Today it's up to you what you want to do as long as no one is noisy or leaves the classroom."

Immediately all the students cheered happily. Usually every lesson, Mr. Arka, feels tense, but this time it was different.

"Sorry sir, I think it would be a waste of time if we didn't continue the lesson." said Juna. As class president, Juna felt that she did not agree with her teacher's idea.

"No one asked for your opinion." Arka replied while looking at Juna disapprovingly.

"Sorry sir, I'm not being presumptuous, but..."

"You can study in the library if you don't want to experience free class this time." Mr. Arka replied before Juna finished his words.

Juna gave up, she would not argue with her teacher's orders any longer. Moreover, at this time the teacher's gaze seemed to really dislike him. "Then I'll have permission to go to the library, sir," he said, only to receive a sigh of relief from Mr. Arka.

"Me, too." said Naya, getting up and following Juna.

BRAK!!!

Juna, Naya and the other students were shocked beyond words when suddenly Mr. Arka hit the table very hard. "Who told you to leave class, Nayena Lim?" he asked with a sharp gaze.

"Go back to your seat."

"But sir, didn't you just say you could go to..."

"I said go back to your seat Nayena Lim!" Mr. Arka snapped, making Naya scared and she immediately returned to her seat.

All the students remained silent while glancing at each other in fear.

"Take out your test books. Let's do an impromptu test."

"Did you see Mr. Arka's attitude earlier? It was really strange."

"Yes, that's right. Why did he suddenly get angry when Naya wanted to come with Juna?"

"Could it be that Mr. Arka likes Naya?"

"Huh? Seriously? But I think so. Did you see Mr. Arka's gaze at Naya? It's really different."

Dahya ran towards her friends' table after hearing some of Naya's classmates' chatter. The girl banged the table making her friends scream in annoyance.

"Oh my God!!" 

"You guys should know what I just heard."

"What? Did you hear what? BTS is going to our school?" Sina asked indifferently.

"No."

"Kang Daniel and his group will perform at our school?" Jihan asked.

"No."

"So what ?"

"Mr Arka likes Naya."

CRAT!!

Naya, who was busy drinking, accidentally spilled her drink onto her friends after hearing what Dahya had just said. "Are you crazy? What did you just say?"

"I heard that from your classmates, Nay. They said that Mr. Arka suddenly scolded you for wanting to come with Juna."

"Your friend said that Mr. Arka's gaze when he looked at you was different."

"Wow, if this is real, you are really great, Nay. You can be liked by the handsome Mr. Arka. The grandson of the school owner keeps being sexy again, I'm so jealous." said Sina.

"Is that true Nay? I feel the same way too because he often punishes you."

"What are you saying? Don't talk strange things! Never mind, I'm just going to the toilet," said Naya before finally going to the toilet.

"Naya’s anget, its ne ausie you.”

"Why me? I just wanted to convey what I heard," said Dahya when her two friends blamed her.

"Mr. Arka likes me? Ah no-no! Don't let that happen! I'll go crazy if that really happens," Naya muttered in the bathroom.

:::

"Explain everything. Grandpa heard you yell at one of your students?" 

Now Mr. Arka is facing his grandfather in the principal's office.

"Sorry. I just couldn't control my emotions."

"Oh My gosh Arkana! You are a teacher, you should be professional. Grandpa doesn't want this to happen again and I also want you to apologize to the student you shouted at and the class president."

"Okay Grandpa. Then I'll excuse myself."

When he left his grandfather's room, Mr. Arka saw Naya walking towards him, but when the girl realized where he was, he immediately turned around.

"Naya wait!"

"Aish, why is he looking? What should I do," muttered Naya.

"Why are you turning around? Are you avoiding me?" Mr. Arka asked after arriving right behind Naya.

Naya turned her body slowly to face her crazy teacher who a few tens of minutes ago almost made her cry "Mr. Arka?"

"I have something to say to you. Come with me."

"But sir, I have to go."

"Going where? You trying to avoid me?"

"No sir."

"Then what? Come with me quickly."

"Naya has an appointment with me, sir," said Juna, managing to make Naya's hand which was being held by Mr. Arka release.

Juna casually walked over to the two of them, "Sorry, sir, but Naya has an appointment with me. We will have a meeting to discuss the retirement program next month."

"The event is still next month, why are you holding a meeting now?"

"The sooner the better, sir, because we still have a lot to prepare. Nay, come on."

Naya nodded and immediately followed Juna.

"Damn!  Watch out, Naya, you've ruined my day twice today," growled Mr. Arka as he watched Naya and Juna leave.

,,,,,,,,,

"Juna, do we really have a meeting? I didn't know there was a meeting." Naya asked.

"No, Nay. I was just lying."

"Lie? For what?"

"Saved you from Mr. Arka. I think you didn't like him approaching you so I helped you get away from him."

"Juna, what if Mr. Arka finds out you are lying? He will punish you."

"It doesn't matter, the important thing is that you are safe," answered Juna with a friendly smile.

"Juna, you are really good. Would it be my fault if I liked you more and more," thought Naya.

"Nay, why are you still stunned? Come on, come on."

"Where to ?"

"Hmm, how about going to the library? We'll study together. Would you like to?"

Naya nodded in response. Never mind going to the library, Naya would definitely want to take it to the KUA.

The two of them walked hand in hand towards the library. Not a few people glanced at them, making Naya look a little uncomfortable. Their gazes seemed to intimidate him if he went with someone else's girlfriend.

"Why, Nay?" Juna asked, aware of Naya's behavior.

"Since earlier they've been looking at me with strange glances. Could it be that they're like that because I'm hanging out with you? They think I'm stealing someone's girlfriend, right?" replied Naya in a naughty tone.

Juna was seen chuckling for a moment before then returning the other students' gazes. To the point that people who were staring at Naya immediately turned their gazes in another direction.
