The Love of Luke
The Canteen

"Eh ..hi.... It's nice to be in class with you, can we be friends now?" I asked him to shake hands.

The man looked a little confused and instead looked at the flat-faced woman sitting next to my desk, she was the woman who had ushered me into the previous teacher's room.

"What's wrong? You don't want to be friends with me?" I asked the man again,

"E..eh.no not so, but you're the second person after Elis to be friends with a man like me, so I need his approval" the man said to confuse me.

I just nodded as if understanding and turned back to the front and focused on the lesson until the break began, I had no one I knew there so there was no other choice for me but to approach the two people who had helped me find the teacher's room before.

As they were seen walking out of the classroom I immediately followed them and chased after them until holding the woman's hand with a flat face and neat clothes.

"Eh, hey... Oye.... Wait!" I said while holding his hand.

He immediately turned around and looked towards my hand that was still holding his hand so I immediately let go of the handle.

"Sorry, I was forced to hold your hand because you didn't hear my screams when I called you, sorry" my reply felt a little uneasy as he looked at me with a sharp and expressionless look.

"What are you calling us?" Ask the woman.

He looks pretty creepy and he's so flat, I don't know if their souls are switched or how because he's a woman but like a man, but men are so soft as women, seeing them did make me a little confused and astonished, but as long as they were good I still wanted to be friends with them.

Because when I observed the other students look so naive and they all attach great importance to their family position in school, I did not like that.

"Be..begini...I want to be friends with you, so may I know the names of you two and do you want to accept me as your new friend?" My uncle told them.

They kept quiet and did not answer my request until suddenly a woman came to me and she immediately grabbed me by the shoulder and spoke to me as if she had known me for a long time, and I don't recognize him at all.

"Aaahh, here you are, apparently, I have been looking for you everywhere, come with us for lunch in the cafeteria, you must associate with us heirs of distinguished families not with careless like them, let's just leave them" said the woman as she pulled me over directly without warning.

"E.eh...wait, but.me..." My words were stifled because he kept pulling my hand with him.

And she was not alone she pulled me along with her two friends who were wearing full makeup on their faces, with branded bags and everything they wear, from their hair ties to the other jewels, it looks so sparkling that it feels like I'm not strong enough to see the sparkle of their bodies.

He kept taking me to the cafeteria and we had already taken food to sit at one of the nicest tables in the cafeteria, and he seemed enthusiastic about welcoming me.

"Eh...I hear you're from the Wheeler family huh, is that right, and are you really Cecil Wheeler's sister?" The woman asked me so curious and enthusiastic.

"Hmm.apparently you're just curious about my family and my brother's calm well, I think you're sincerely willing to invite me to eat together with you guys" I replied with a faint smile holding back the disappointment on them.

"Huh?, are you kidding me, this is a favorite school and a place where rich people, of course there are levels here, and you should be grateful to be born into a rich family like the Wheeler family, at least that family became one of the most influential families in the city, aren't you grateful?" His words began to show his true nature.

"You're wrong to think I'm not grateful for my life, I'm happy and happy to be part of the Wheeler family, but I don't want to get everything just because of the influence that my family has, she said, I'm different from my brother and we're not the same either!" Reply firmly.

I immediately stood up from my seat and stared at him intently for the last time.

"Listen to me carefully, I don't care about caste or family, and I don't want to be part of your gang!" I said dominate.

"Hah..haha...has he just bullied me?, Aishh...Well just be careful I won't make it easy for him to stay in our classroom!" Say a woman with a grudge.

I don't care that even though the woman is angry with me, I keep walking away with the upset feelings and emotions inside me, I'm very upset that the woman is narrow-minded, she said, how could he think I was the same as him, even I never asked him to pick me up and take me out to eat with him.

I have absolutely no interest in being a member of such a naive group of rich people as they are, I hate lies and I just love real and simple things, she said, I am not looking for happiness I am only looking for calm because I believe if we are calm happy will come by itself without us having to look for it.

I kept walking while carrying my food tray intending to put it back, but as I was walking, I was unfocused as I continued to grumble due to the argument with the rich lady earlier, she said, so I accidentally bumped into a man walking in front of me.

"Brongh...aaaaahh...." My voice that hit him made my lunch chicken rendang dirty his school coat.

"Ohhh.I'm sorry, please forgive me I was really unintentional, forgive me" I said as I looked down to apologize.

"You?" The man's words made me look at him.

And how shocked I was to see that the man was the man who helped me in the schoolyard before, yes, he's a flat-faced, cruel man who denied my body when I almost fell backwards in the schoolyard this morning.

"Ohhhh, thank goodness it was you, I'm sorry, I was..." I'm stuck, I say,

"Heh..His grateful father, you dirty my school coat look at this!" His impact gave me horrified creeps.

His face was so scary he had a haircut that looked like a br*ndal on the side of the road, and he yelled at me so loudly in front of everyone in the cafeteria, I can only be ashamed and scared.

My hands were shaking and he kept yelling at me and scolding me even though I had apologized many times to him.

"Are you an unlucky bearer, why are you walking without looking forward, you've pissed me off twice, aihhh.
