The Poison: Stories Of The Number 27
His Secret

Whether the charm that makes them divert his attention to a student, the five of them noticed students in uniform complete with a neat hairstyle. Not impressed, but the opposite. Cool, tall, handsome, masculine, with a hint of genius aura. He jostled past the crowd of curious students while carrying a bottle of green tea smoothie in his right hand.

The student entered Xennora's class of three students, and five students. After finding out who the man was, Xennora sighed and then returned to her activity, namely daydreaming, staring at the blue rose in her hand.

The man approached Xennora's desk, his footsteps heard amidst the murmurs of the students outside. The man immediately put the bottle he was carrying in front of Xennora. Then he asked Leo to move to the seat next to him aka the seat in front of Antha. The man sat in front of Xennora who was now looking at him confused.

"From gebetan." Julian said as if he knew what Xennora was going to ask.

"Who?" Xennora asked, still with her flat look. Julian sighed as if what he was about to say was the hardest thing in his life.

"Fadhil Auliansyah." Julian replied with the same look as Xennora, flat. 

In a short time, the look on Xennora's face that was originally flat turned to sparkle made Julian snort in disbelief.

"Kok lo Sempet-sampetnya told to give a bottle to the creature gaje kayak Xennora?" Antha asked who had gotten a slow blow on her left arm from Xennora.

"Yes... Stamped." Julian replied, I have no intention. Before long, Julian noticed a woman sitting in the left row of Xennora.

"Oh, I'm Deandra Callena Pyralis. Class 12 Public Law. Lo Julian Matteo Kayden right? Class 12 Private 1?"

"Oh? Class outcasts yeah..." Instead of answering his question, Julian muttered but could still be heard by all of them. Deandra smiled clumsyly, Leo and Edwin held back a laugh, Antha smiled wryly, while Xennora smiled thinly. He knows, Julian deliberately put Deandra to shame. For some reason what Xennora could clearly see from Julian's smile that seemed like a cynical smile.

"Lo know Ju, what's in the next class?" Edwin's question melted the atmosphere.

"He said there was blood on his desk."

"Blood?!" Pekik Leo, Antha and Edwin together. Xennora was silent in disbelief. If it's blood, it's kind of scary, too. Anyone would be shocked to see blood in a place they shouldn't be.

"Gue also did not know it was real blood or just a fad to make fake blood." Obviously Julian made them all nod in understanding.

"Do you know who my brother is?" Ask Antha.

"Sofia was with Eireen, just passed by."

"Sophia... Raneysha?" Dea asked quietly, yet they could still hear him.

"Yes, you know him?" Julian asked stale.

"Hm? Yep... He became quite famous among the Theater children, because he turned out to be his cousin Eireen." Dea answered making them nod.

They were all silent daydreaming before Leo realized anything.

"How come you're not going? The drink reached Xennora." Leo said to Julian beside him.

"Excused?" Julian sewot's question coupled with an intimidating look belonged to him.

"Not really."

"Deandra's still here as a yaudah." Julian said as he glanced at Deandra.

"So, you go there." Xennora's half-screaming speech made Antha startled. Julian looked at Xennora strangely as it suddenly raised the volume of her voice.

"Silver class in the dictionary I was a good example for his sister, kayak brother Deandra Pyralis. Not that you like to mess with girls' feelings." Xennora looked at Julian who was now also staring at him as if saying di? . It seemed like Xennora had forgotten Deandra's position as an outcast grade student and instead compared her to a superior grade student like Julian.

"It's not an academic factor either. Gini gini I Civil class 1 loh... Featured class." Julian was proud.

Antha let out a tired sigh, as did Edwin and Leo. Dea chuckled then shook her head slowly.

"They start again..." Murmured Antha while massaging her temple.

"Berrantem Teruss to not want the world." Edwin's quirks were not conceived by Julian and Xennora.

"Berantem mulu's. Tomorrow I won't freak out if I hear about them." Mumbled Leo.

"Your academic grades are good, I didn't ask." Challenge Xennora. Their discussion continues.

"Good indeed. This one rank." Julian said he believed the next one got a pencil throw that belonged to who from Edwin.

"Heh that's Herina's position!" Edwin half-screamed.

"Yes one, but you forget the number two." Chirps Leo.

"Rank 12? Still mending anyway..." Comment Antha.

"No, it's good that students who rarely do kayak assignments he ranks 12th" said Edwin. Xennora was silent, seconds later the girl widened her eyes and looked at Julian.

"Lo rank 21?! Ranked fourth from the bottom dong?!" Xennora's cry was right in front of Julian.

"That's why I'm above all average!"

"Yes the same! You should be trying to get in the top ten! Although in comparison, your grades are still higher than seventy-five percent of the twelve Civilians, you should also change! This is 12th grade. Must be due to the males of group work! You tuh ya actually can be a pure superior student, not a fake seed class student like the people talk about! Your value can also... Higher than ninety-eight percent of twelfth graders..." Xennora's shout turned soft on her last sentence. It's nothing, Xennora just realized what she was doing. What did he just say? Oh.. Really, Xennora was completely unaware of what she had just said. It just came out.

'Don't like gini, Ra...' Julian said as he looked at Xennora with an indecipherable look. Unfortunately, that sentence only Julian could say in his heart.

Antha who was writing, Leo who was drawing in the book of Antha, and Edwin who was daydreaming also realized the awkwardness in the series of sentences that Xennora said. Deandra. He knew what was going on, he understood this situation. Because from the beginning he noticed the two of them. Starting from the different gazes of the two, to the body movements that made Deandra nodded in understanding.

"Consideration? Care about this? Do you like me?" Ask Julian casually who Deandra can guess just to melt the atmosphere.

"Yes!" Xennora shouted, yet her face was still slightly relaxed. Xennora's answer certainly took them by surprise, including Julian and a few students who had started entering the classroom.

"In your dreams!" Xennora then brought a drink that he said was from Fadhil and then went somewhere.

Before Xennora actually left, Antha shouted, "where are you going?! Bel woy!!"

"Liat the chalkboard!" Xennora shouted outside the classroom until some of the students passing by looked at her strangely.

According to him, Antha also shifted his attention forward, where the class leader had finished writing an announcement stating free classes for all classes eleven and twelve. Twelfth grade teachers held meetings on Try Out and a series of other replicas that will be held by their students in the near future.  While the eleventh grade teacher was discussing the incident that befell the students of Criminal class 3.

Antha wanted to ask where Xennora was going but the girl was already not in her sight. Anyway, there's something more interesting here. Julian speechless. Antha could see the man smiling wryly, either aimed at whom because Julian was slightly lowered. One that Antha can conclude,

Julian laughed at himself.
