One day, James must go far away from the club, for personal reasons. Leave his position, willing or not. Sihan was confused to explain the club's situation to James himself. Where or how to start. Since James wasn't in school until recently, he didn't know what had happened at school during the year, at the club or with his friends. “Now tell me, is the dissolution true?"James didn't understand why Sihan took him so far just to talk, but because what James wanted to know was the truth, he patiently followed him. “You didn't hear it from William or Anthony?” Sihan even asked questions. “What about them?" James getting confused. "It was Anthony who asked William to dissolve the club and William took care of the request to the school.” Sihan is telling the truth. “What! But why?" His own friends whom he trusted so much did this to the club they had looked after since long and founded together. Sihan did not know the reason behind the dissolution of the club, and also couldn't give
According to James' words, four friends started a project to form a club. Proposals are prepared with great care and maturity, ranging from the name of the club to the goal that can convince the school. The task of making the proposal was Carol's responsibility, although other friends contributed some ideas. Or they keep exchanging ideas because somehow all want their proposals to be approved. But on the first try, they received a rejection from the school. They are in critical condition. "Anth, we can't waste any more time. If we continue to delay, our plans will not be realized." Said James. "Let me use my way, then it will be done faster―” “Not James!” Push Anthony firmly. “I want us to achieve our goals purely on our own merits. Don't ever do that, I don't agree." He wanted this to be their first achievement in junior high, with no back roads and purely the result of their efforts together. "He right, I'll try to put it together again. This time I'll make it better than ever."
Somewhere in the corner of the school. After the lesson Anthony was alone in his favorite place, grassy hill, which is not far from the school building. The school area looked deserted with only a few students there. There wasn't anything special he was doing, just spending time in long solitude. When got there, Anthony forgot the time. One of the reasons is because the area is quiet and supplies cool air from the shady trees around. Someone came to join Anthony. Without caring about the others, his steady steps walked straight towards Anthony who was lying lazily in the shade under the shadow of a shady tree. The newly joined young man deliberately harassed Anthony, making his nap time disturbed. ”Who― " an almost enraged Anthony was ready to lash out at the offender who had dared to disturb his nap. But the perpetrator even showed off his neat teeth with a horse smile. Anthony's anger instantly disappeared when saw a familiar face and was too lazy to serve this one person. Not g
The test is coming. When Elyn's transfer day had not happened for long, it was even worse that she moved closer to the end of the semester. There wasn't much time to catch up on old-school subject matter. It's all been like this, she can't always blame the situation. Elyn did not expect grandiosity, she just wanted to get a little better than the passing grade point. “Good luck!” Support Vivian to Elyn who looks nervous in her chair. “You, too.” Elyn tried to calm down with breathing exercises. Collecting air in the chest cavity and lungs and then exhaling slowly, this method helps improve focus, reduce nervousness and gets more oxygen to the brain. The exam bell started ringing very loudly today in Elyn's ears, it could be just her feelings. Today's exam schedule is filled with three subjects, each of them lasting 90 minutes. During the exam, students are not allowed to leave their seats, if that happens, they are considered to have completed the exam. When the running time was
If anything happens to Anthony, William is the first person who Sihan always contacts as soon as possible. Like a field reporter who delivers exclusive coverage from the forefront. Then William quickly searched for Anthony's whereabouts and rushed there acting like a disaster rescue team. Elyn was in a private room, before Anthony had done it first. He waited for the decision of the teachers and supervisors who were present there to handle the case. After the information from each student has been given and collected until the case is clear, the teacher will negotiate to determine the appropriate punishment. William's presence there was like the role of Anthony's personal lawyer who was specially hired with a lifetime contract. “Can I talk to Anthony for a minute?" ask William. Mr. Ryan as homeroom teacher where the case occurred only gave a gesture of approval with facial expressions. Then they were left alone, Anthony sat in a chair in pain and William remained standing becaus
Just as Anthony predicted, William took him to the student council room. Then there was James and Sihan who were ready to demand information from Anthony. “I'm not the one asking them here." William's self-defense answered the glare in Anthony's eyes. In SOPA rumors circulate very quickly due to its small scope. As was the case with the news of Elyn's transfer at that time. “But good thing, since you guys are already here I don't have to call.” William spoke to Sihan and James. “How did it go?" James is worried. Exam cheating is a serious violation of school rules. In any hemisphere no school can accept this offense. “Why be silent, quickly say something!" Sue James can't wait for his two friends who just came. He waited anxiously and felt like the time passed more slowly than usual. At least one of Anthony or William's adoptive biographers explained the latest situation. Because Anthony remained silent, William finally spoke. “Suspend for 3 days.” “Oohh, thank God..." Sai
Admitting all that he had done behind his friends' backs was not part of Anthony's plan. Is there a way for him to quibble and get out of his current situation? Anthony still cannot speak frankly about his goals and plans. It couldn't be the right timing yet, before he reliably knew who the friends-who were the opponents on his side. “I have long heard of the practice of cheating during exams at our school. That's why I made a plan long before this and prepared a way out. Ah, I mean strong arguments and alibis so I don't get dragged down or become a scapegoat.” “Made plans long before this? Since when?” Sihan who is almost always with Anthony is completely unaware. “Does that include deliberately making your grades fall all this time? To make your own alibi?" William thinks Anthony has gone crazy, playing around with school credits. “Well, maybe you think I'm crazy.” admit Anthony. “But their group is not an easy opponent. They are professional, organized, because this has been go
Carol came to the student council room because she was worried about Anthony's condition, but she could not open the door because of the conversation inside. Whenever Alan's name came up in conversation, she couldn't help but Dodge. Until now everything related to Alan was heavy and painful for her, especially when she felt it in the heart. Carol stood silently in front of the tightly closed door, before walking away as the conversation inside intensified towards Alan. No matter where she was, Carol couldn't help but remember Alan existant. Because in every corner of SOPA there are shared memories with him. Wherever Carol went, Alan's shadow by her side was like a curse from the past. “Are you mixed? Your hair is blonde but when you look closely your eyes are pitch black, just like mine." Alan in the middle of the class hour was talking about things outside the discussion material, making Carol feel uncomfortable being commented on like that. Alan and Carol have one group practice
Love With Flaws Part 6Since they started working on the task together, there was actually something Jennie wanted to ask Matthew. But felt doubtful if it was right for her to do that. What if his feelings for her were a thing of the past. That means she doesn't deserve to ask and bring it up again.“You know the letter you left behind," Jennie thought of a way to find out the boy's current feelings. The only way she thought of it was by bringing up the subject of the letter he had written to her.Matthew flinched, but his mind was busy thinking. “Letter? What does she mean is a letter in a glass bottle? So she took the letter I left behind, is it?" doubted in his heart and never thought Jennie would talk about the letter he wrote. “You took it? When?" he asked.“When you no longer come there.”again he wrestled with the thoughts in mind. “Even she knew that I was always there and stopped coming back. But we never met!” The two never met because if Matthew was there, Jennie would tu
Love With Flaws Part 5Love, Jennie does not understand what love is. But it isn't the feeling of love that she felt for father and mother as well as her sister–Bella it is also love. Jennie's love for people who are precious and very important beyond herself. Not wanting to lose those people and always wanting to be together is a form of love for them. The love that Matthew declared was not like that, is it? What each love has a different form. He said about the proof of love, let there be time to speak, the part she could not understand what he meant in the letter. In every letter that she receives, Matthew always leaves an unsolved mystery that makes Jennie feel curious even more than that. It's not just a question of how she describes it.“Did you read that letter again?” Egy rebuked her fellow classmate.“Huh? It’s just..” Jennie can't excuse being caught red-handed. Not once did she read the letters but repeatedly at every opportunity. The more she read, the more get lost in th
Love With Flaws Part 4 On the way to the club room Jennie saw a football club that was training on the field. her footsteps stopped, then stood there watching. Matthew might have been one of those who was training in the middle of the field, thought her. From the beginning if Jennie had a desire to find a young man named Matthew, the sender of the letters. she could easily find it. Jennie has enough clues about Matthew's identity and whereabouts. 1) Matthew is Lea's cousin, 2) Matthew close with Alec, 3) Matthew was a soccer member, 4) Matthew is a boy from nextdoor class. With all the hints of a dot, Jennie chose not to do anything. So Lea and other friends think Jennie is not interested in him. So is the conclusion that Matthew can draw from all the collected pieces of fact. When it feels like there is no hope anymore and the opportunity to meet, why now Jennie and Matthew must cross paths as if they had been destined. Jennie finally got to know Matthew for the first time. It's ha
Love With Flaws Part 3 Lea is more often outside the room if not during class hours. Finding Lea's whereabouts was like looking for a stray cat, difficult until Jennie was exhausted. “I got another letter.” Jennie immediately conveyed her needs as soon as met Lea. “Then why?” Lea reacted flatly. “I want to ask for your help.” Lea's face looked uncomfortable. “It makes my position difficult... Matthew's my family and you're my friend. I want to be neutral.” “No wait! Don't get me wrong.” Jennie refuted Lea's remarks quickly. “Oh, thank God then... I thought you asked me to tell you to turn him down.” “No. It's about the content of the letter–huh? Wait! What do you mean by rejecting?” Jennie asked, not understanding. “What happened to the letter?” Lea dodged Jennie's question. It was clear to her that Jennie did not seem to know the purpose for which her cousin had sent a letter. Jennie gives Matthew's letter for Lea to read.“Does Matthew want to see me? But he didn't ask me t
Love With Flaws Part 2 It wasn't hard for Matthew to figure out what the girl's name was. The difficulty is what he has to do next. Suddenly, it was not easy to approach her. This may be Matthew's momentary sense of being attracted to Jennie. But he didn't have the slightest bad intentions. Right now all he wanted was to greet her, talk to her, get to know her. Matthew wanted to leave a good impression on Jennie. Matthew is too hasty. Or Should he wait. Waiting and doing nothing is the same as not starting at all. To be honest Matthew is not the type to be easily captivated like this. In his world until this time he only has one interest in something is football. Love for the opposite sex, of course, exists but that is not his priority . Love is a part of life and Matthew believes its own timing will come. At first Matthew wasn't the one on purpose about Jennie, not at all. Something in his heart that felt every time saw her, encouraged him to take action. The sooner he does, the
Love With Flaws Part 1 Maybe it was fate that brought Jennie to this place. The school that Jennie had never really thought of before would be spent for the next three years. In this place there is nothing she is looking for, but there is something that wants to take care of, she protects with all heart, all her soul, as best she can. Jennie didn't want to let a little thing escape her attention anymore. Don't want to lose more time of togetherness between siblings and family. Jennie will begin to collect small fragments, make good memories, live a life without regrets towards her loved ones again. Don't want to make a mistake a second time. The road ahead of her that must be passed is not easy, very heavy, Jennie fully knows it. But that's life, no matter whether or not the path has been chosen. rather live that choice and make it so that it becomes the right choice. Because constantly thinking the choice is correct or not is just a waste of time. No one will know until they try it
After receiving approval from the school, the official Research Club was formed thanks to Alan's help rearranging their proposal. Anthony and old kids are busy managing their new club. Starting from cleaning the empty room that they will occupy as a club room. The room, which was not occupied for a long time, was filled with dust, old cobwebs, mice and cockroaches. It also cleans up the stuff that is piled up there. They have to work extra hard to get it done. “Anth, where is James? He's a member of the club too, why not come?" Carol said annoyed to have to work hard, feeling a lack of people who should be able to share and lighten the task. “Do not know. Never mind, just leave him alone for a while." Anthony doesn't understand anymore. Since his return, his strange attitude has persisted for a long time. Sihan came back from the teacher's room with William, carrying bottles of drinks for his friends that he accidentally bought in the cafeteria. Thanks to the inclusion of Alan joini
It's not just bad news at school. Anthony and the old kid also had to accept the unpleasant news that William brought that afternoon. That their club proposal has been rejected or has not received the approval from the principal. In the middle of meeting the four, they gather at basecamp after school. A Lot of discussion going on. Anthony asked angrily. “What is the reason?” William was no less harsh in attitude. “Your proposal has too many flaws, has no purpose, weak arguments, and is not interesting. It's not enough to make the principal feel confident about giving permission, of course.” “You–what needs to be so honest and cruel to say it." Anthony is injured and causes criticism. “I'm telling you so you can learn a lesson. For what it's worth, I'm sweet. Do you want to give up and forget your dream club?” “Of course not!” While the two men had a heated argument, the remaining two people, James and Carol who were also present there, remained silent but were dizzy from hearin
William was used to coming earlier than class time. He felt more comfortable spending time alone in the student council room. Being in public makes him tired of having to constantly put on a suave mask, maintain an attitude and so on. The student council room was an escape for him to breathe freely at school. When the door of the student council room opened, it turned out that someone was already there waiting for his arrival. surprised to find that Anthony could also come to school in the morning. The problem that made that one friend come so early and was willing to wait for him like this, so if Anthony wanted something, nothing else. “What brought you to see me so early was a matter of the club?" William asked unceremoniously. “That's one of them, and there are several others." Anthony's been sort of a room-steward of course which is usually the role of William sitting there. “What?” Anthony's face lit up. “What about James?” He was so sure William heard something from James be
