"S—sorry!" said Kaluna quickly with her face down."Walk beside me," Rey ordered in a commanding tone. "And lift up your face full of make-up."Kaluna froze, then opened her bag and took out a powder mirror to scrutinise her face."Oh my ...!" Kaluna almost screamed when a face covered in thick powder, red lipcream and baby pink blush stared back at her through the reflection of the mirror. Kaluna's pair of fluffy eyes blinked, revealing a glimpse of black eyeliner combined with the pink eyeshadow that adorned her eyes. Rey turned around when he realised Kaluna did not immediately follow him. He saw that she was studying her own face while one hand patted the side of her flushed cheek."Can I help you?" asked Rey while waving one hand. Kaluna chuckled and put the mirror back into the sling bag hanging from her thighs, which were tightly covered by the red dress that made her skin look clearer. "How come the exit didn't arrive?" demanded Kaluna without looking at Rey, more like u
The whole class held their breath as Estefan sent orders to Kaluna who began to move slightly in her seat. Without any embarrassment at all, Kaluna squirmed slowly then opened her eyes slightly."Teacher ...?" Kaluna's eyes widened when she saw Estefan sitting not far from where she was lying. She quickly got up to the varied stares of the class."Get out," Estefan shooed him away while looking straight at Kaluna."Out ...? Where, Sir?" asked Kaluna with a grimace."Get out of my lesson and stand outside the classroom until the bell rings," Estefan ordered in a stern tone, making his other students hold their breath even though they weren't the ones being chased out.Kaluna lowered her legs and stood up."Yes, Sir." She nodded without protest, then walked calmly out of the classroom to the stunned eyes of the students."Let's get back to the material," Estefan said, his flat but firm voice able to make his students obey without needing to be ordered twice.Kiki immediately stood up an
Ola gaped again when she heard Kaluna's seemingly carefree words."Change schools again?" repeated Ola while frowning, she was bored just listening to it."School everywhere is bad, Aunty!" complained Kaluna as she took off her bag. "There are so many rules, the teachers are annoying, the students are annoying ... I don't like school!"Ola scratched her head, Kaluna's childish behaviour often bothered her when it relapsed like this."Luna, don't be rash. As your aunt, I understand how you feel." Ola began to unleash her charms. "I never know what makes you like to change schools, but this time you should stay there. The problem is that you're already in your final year, you won't graduate for half a year."Kaluna was silent while closing her eyes, she never told anyone that the reason she changed schools for the first time was because of Dewangga and Rara's betrayal."I feel really lazy to go to school," Kaluna said with her eyes still closed."Or do you want to get married young, Lun
Kaluna was forced to live her school life as usual, but this time what made it different was her mood, was so upset just by recalling Estefan's last words in her mind:"If you don't want to go back to school, try not to delay too long."Honestly, Estefan's words were considered by Kaluna to be a challenge. This was even if he had to give up the rest of his studies at Oasis High School."Here."Kaluna looked up when a scolding voice was heard while she was alone in the canteen."Yohan...?" Kaluna immediately got into a stance as soon as he stood up and faced the prince of the school."No need to rush, I just want to fulfill my promise as a manly man." Yohan held out a box containing a new mobile phone that was almost the same model as Kaluna's. "I'm not usually this nice to girls, but yeah... Next time I won't spare you if you take my jokes too far."Without waiting for any response from Kaluna, Yohan placed his mobile phone case on the table. He left accompanied by the eyes of the wom
"It's safe," Estefan said then, his head snapping around to the car where Kaluna was cowering like someone about to be attacked with a sack of firecrackers. "Are you okay, Kaluna?""No, Sir..." Kaluna replied weakly. Before Estefan could get rid of her, she crawled slowly down to her homeroom teacher's car with difficulty. "Thank you... for your help... Mr. Reyvonda..."Estefan looked away as Kaluna managed to slide out of his car with a very frightened look on her face.Before Estefan could look back, Kaluna managed to fall to the ground."Kaluna... what's wrong with you?" asked Estefan who immediately turned his head when he heard the sound of falling objects and his expression immediately changed dramatically when he saw Kaluna's pained face."No... it's fine, Sir..." Kaluna replied weakly. "Thank you... For helped me... I'm just worried..."Estefan acted quickly by helping Kaluna up and pushing her into the car after observing that the surroundings were not that crowded."Mr. Reyv
That morning Kaluna had left for school early, and she accidentally passed by the classroom where Estefan was teaching the zero hour material to the first years. Kaluna didn't understand what magic Estefan had used on her, but the help he had been giving her lately made her heart feel something different.When the bell that ended the zero hour material rang, Kaluna stood up from her seat and walked to her own class. Estefan caught a glimpse of her shadow from afar and understood that Kaluna was starting to pay attention to him.Estefan did not want that to happen, or else he would repeat the bad history of his old school when a student fell in love with him. After finishing his zero hour lesson, Estefan went to the canteen for coffee and snacks. When he got there, it turned out that Kaluna was already ordering something in front of the table. "Coffee, Sir?" One of the senior canteen staff offered as Estefan approached. "As usual," Estefan replied briefly, after which he immediat
Kaluna was stunned, but she realised that what Estefan said was completely true."Is this advice for me?" asked Kaluna while looking at Estefan who was still correcting his students' assignments. "Of course, what else can a teacher give to his students other than knowledge and advice?" Estefan replied immediately."Perhaps... there is something else that can be given," Kaluna said again. "It's just that the teacher doesn't want to, or doesn't want to yet...."Estefan suddenly smiled bitterly."You really are the first most antique student in the history of my career as a teacher," he commented. "After skipping class, fighting with Yohan from the next class, then today you express your gratitude as if I am the most meritorious person in your life."Kaluna paused, did it really look like that?"Sorry," Kaluna said as she turned away with a slightly heated face. "I've talked too much.""I'm not surprised that you're not a sensitive person," Estefan said."Sensitised...?""Sensitised if
Kaluna wore a knee-length skirt that fit her legs well and was not too tight. For the top she chose a blue long-sleeved dress with both shoulders exposed."You look like a child," Ola commented as she looked at Kaluna from head to toe. "Tomorrow aunty will buy you more diverse clothes.""I'm still a teenager," Kaluna said. "Why would I wear clothes that make me look old?""You don't understand fashion," said Ola as she picked up her bag. "Let's go to the boutique, shall we? I want to buy some clothes that will make you look elegant and mature.""Wouldn't it be better to use the money for the house, Aunty?" asked Kaluna as she grabbed her bag too. "I still have a lot of clothes."Ola sighed, it was the first time she had heard Kaluna argue with her and it was starting to annoy her. She felt that she had to make Kaluna look more mature than her actual age. At least it would make Kaluna more attractive to the person she was preparing for."Which boutique are we going to?" asked Kaluna wh
