Chapter 6

Today the school is holding a camping event for the next few days. All 12th grade students are required to take part in the event.

 

"I'm sitting with Sina!" shouted Dahya, choosing a seat in the middle.

 

Naya sighed, confused about choosing a seat, Jihan didn't attend the camping event because she was sick, while Dahya sat with Sina and automatically she didn't have anyone to sit with.

 

"Try looking for your classmates Nay. Surely someone will want to sit with you."

 

It was impossible for Naya to find a seatmate, especially with her classmates. In fact, almost all the girls in his class hate him because he is close to Mr. Arka, the dream teacher of all students.

 

"Why are you still standing, Naya? Where are you sitting?" asked Yuna who had just gotten on the bus with Juna.

 

"Hmm, I..."

 

"Naya sit with me."

 

"Mr Arka?"

 

"Come on, Nay, sit down."

 

"But sir..."

 

"Do you want to stand until you reach your destination? The bus is about to leave."

 

Not yet getting an answer from Naya, Mr. Arka had already pushed the girl's body to sit on one of the chairs followed by him sitting next to her.

 

"Juna, come on, sit down," said Yuna, seeing Juna just silently looking at Naya and Mr. Arka.

 

During the trip, all the students sang together accompanied by a guitar that one of the students had brought. In contrast to her friends who seemed happy with the trip, Naya had absolutely no intention of joining them. The girl was busy looking at Yuna and Juna who were sitting across from her.

 

"Juna, I'm cold," whispered Yuna, who really couldn't stand the cold.

 

"You just wear my jacket."

 

"Just sleep. The journey is still very far," the man continued telling Yuna to sleep on his shoulder.

 

"Be careful if you take it off and your eyes will see people dating," quipped Mr. Arka, catching Naya red-handed who had been watching Juna and Yuna.

 

"Ekhem Naya. Don't you want to sleep too?"

 

"What?"

 

"Sleep on my shoulder if you're sleepy."

 

"No sir. I'm not sleepy."

 

"Sir!" Naya's scream sounded quite loud when without permission, Mr. Arka pulled her head to rest on his shoulder.

 

"Just shut up, what's so hard about being asked to sleep?"

 

"But it doesn't have to be like this, sir."

 

"Sleep Nay before I tell you to sleep on me."

 

"What do you mean, father?"

 

"You know what I mean. Get some sleep before I actually do it."

 

Naya surrendered, she tried to close her eyes. Until not long after he actually fell asleep.

 

"Tsk, you said you weren't sleepy, you rabbit," mumbled Mr. Arka, leaning his head next to Naya's heads.

After traveling until they reached the forest on the edge of town, all the students gathered to receive guidance.

 

"Because it's getting dark, you can set up your tents. The women's tent is on the right and the men's tent is on the left," said Mr. Juni as the camping committee.

 

"Okay sir."

 

All the students started setting up their respective tents. 1 tent consists of 3-4 people.

 

"Mr. Arka, can we ask for help? We can't put up a tent," Ella asked Mr. Arka who was just about to approach Naya's tent.

 

"Yes sir, earlier Mr Juni said we could ask the homeroom teacher for help if we had difficulties," continued Sela.

 

Mr. Arka took a deep breath. If he wasn't a teacher, he might have refused to help this little boy.

 

“Can you hold my jacket?”

 

"Just leave it to me, sir!" Rena quickly took the jacket that Mr. Arka had just taken off.

 

Mr. Arka only wore trousers and a plain black t-shirt, he really looked very handsome. While waiting for Mr. Arka to set up the tent, Ella and her friends couldn't stop admiring their teacher's good looks.

 

"Look at Mr. Arka. He helped Ella set up their tent," said Sina.

 

"Huff, you should have asked Mr Arka for help too, Nay. We don't have anyone who can put up a tent," continued Dahya.

 

"Why does it have to be me? Why not you guys?" Naya was annoyed, why did she have to be the one told to do it?

 

"It's different, Nay. If you were the one asking, let alone setting up a tent, Arka would definitely want to set up a household," said Sina casually.

 

"Sina! Oh, never mind, don't talk about it. Let me set up the tent."

 

Naya tried to set up her tent even though she was having a really hard time. That was better than being told to ask Mr. Arka for help.

 

"Naya," Suddenly, Juna's voice was heard, who had just arrived with Yuna.

 

"Why?"

 

"Hmm, can Yuna join you guys? She doesn't have any tent friends."

 

"Is it okay, Nay? If not, that's okay," said Yuna.

 

"Yes, that's fine, Na. Besides, Jihan isn't coming either so there's still an empty place."

 

"Thanks, Nay."

 

"Then let me set up the tent for you. You guys just sit down." Juna took over the tent that Naya had failed to put up.

 

"Naya, who is he?" Dahya whispered.

 

"Oh yes, Yuna introduces them to my friends, Dahya and Sana."

 

"Hi, I'm Yuna. Nice to meet you," said Yuna smiling

 

"So you are Yuna, the school queen? The one who is famous for being beautiful, smart and also the vice president of the student council?" exclaimed Sina.

 

"You're too much," replied Yuna, feeling uncomfortable.

 

"So Juna is your girlfriend, right?" Now it was Dahya's turn to ask, while Yuna just nodded in response because she was too embarrassed.

 

"You guys are very suitable. Beautiful and handsome and smart."

 

For some reason, Naya doesn't like her friends praising Yuna, who they just met. The girl chose to leave there rather than have to hear her friends praise other people. "I'm going to the toilet for a moment," he said.

 

"Want me to accompany Nay?" Yuna offered.

 

"It's okay, Na," replied Naya, who immediately walked away from that place.

 

"Yuna, let's chat a lot tonight. I'm curious about you hehe," said Sina.

 

Juna, who had finished putting up the tent, was shocked by Naya's absence.

 

:::

 

Naya lied about herself saying she wanted to go to the toilet. In fact, the girl just avoided her friends who were busy discussing Yuna's relationship with Juna. Because he didn't know where to go, he finally decided to take a walk around the camping area.

 

At 7 pm all the students gathered to make a campfire and also have fun before doing their first activity the next day.

 

Dahya, Sina and Yuna sat side by side. Since this afternoon they haven't finished talking to Yuna. They even forgot that Naya hadn't come back from the toilet since this afternoon.

 

"You're Naya's friends, right?" asked Mr. Arka approaching the three of them.

 

"Yes sir," answered Sina while looking at her teacher's handsome face. 

 

"Where's Naya? I haven't seen her since earlier."

 

"Naya? Oh yes, Naya! Gosh, where is Naya?! She hasn't come back from the toilet yet?" Dahya exclaimed, only then realizing that Naya had not returned from the toilet since this afternoon.

 

"What do you mean? Where is Naya?"

 

"Earlier Naya said she wanted to go to the toilet, sir. But it looks like she hasn't come back until now."

 

"Since when did he leave?"

 

"About 2 hours ago."

 

"What?! Why don't you look for him? What if he gets lost?!" Mr. Arka shouted without realizing it, scaring them. Mr. Arka's face looks very scary right now.

 

"Mr. Arka, what's wrong?" asked Mr. Juni, approaching them because he heard a commotion.

 

"Mr. Juni, Naya is missing."

 

"What? How is that possible?"

 

"It looks like she's lost. I'll look for her now," said Mr. Arka, who wanted to go look for Naya, but Mr. Juni quickly stopped him.

 

"But Mr. Arka, it's almost evening."

 

“Then I should just keep quiet? Sorry Mr Juni, Naya is a student in my class so she is my responsibility. I'll look for it right now."

 

Mr. Arka roughly threw away Mr. Jono's hand which was holding him before finally running away to look for Naya.

 

"I will also look for her, sir," said Juna, intending to go look for Naya too.

 

"No need, Juna. Let Arka and the other officers look for it."
