A mysterious man left a warning for me. "I'm sure you won't like what I'm about to say. You started writing in the magical book but didn't finish it; the other word may have happened because you didn't complete the words and the book could misread it." He paused. "The woman in your book will be doomed as a result of your irresponsibility, and her destiny will be the cause."

 I quickly turned my gaze to the mysterious creature, a glimmer of fear in my eyes as I heard what it said. "So, if you don't want their story and the person she included in the book to be bad as a result, you need to find the magical book as soon as possible," he said last before disappearing.

 I was still stunned and seemed to be thinking about the last thing a mysterious creature told me that only I could see. I folded my arms and walked back and forth, and I had a faint, and I was just thinking about what I would do next.

 The next day, Daniella went to school early again because she didn't want William to say anything more to her. It's okay, what she heard yesterday hurt her a little more than he added, and she can't get up at all.

 Their class went well, and they didn't do much because the first week of class was just an introduction, and there were no lessons for all their subject teachers.

 William and I talked about meeting again in the school garden, and there William would give a sample quiz and formulas about math when we were just in our third year.

 We are both in the school garden and in the same place where we talked yesterday. William quietly placed a fairly thick piece of paper over the table right opposite me.

 In my mind, "I thought it was just a short quiz. Why does it seem like everything I did last year was written on this paper? "

 "I know what you're thinking if you look at this thick paper. That's not my sample quiz for you; it's just formulas and solutions, and you have to read and remember everything written on the papers. "

 Even though my hands are too slow to get the papers, by the time I touch them, I feel that even though I haven't read them yet, nothing enters my head.

 While I was reading it, it seemed that everything that went through my eyes came together, and I didn't know how to solve a problem again, so even though I was nervous, I asked for William's favor. "May I ask a favor?"

He just looked at me and didn't answer, so I just continued. "If only you could teach me about this first so that I could answer something on your short quiz, right?"

 William stood up and approached me. He sat next to me,and I was surprised because he was too close. "Which one do you not understand here?" William asked.

 I was just stunned by the closeness of his face. "Everything! As well as how I feel about you," I suddenly said.

 William frowned at my answer. "This is the only focus here, Daniella, not on my face," he said rudely.

 I seemed to come to my senses and just turned my gaze to the paper full of numbers and letters that could be seen. At first, I still understood something, but of all the different formula solutions that William explained at the same time, I didn't understand anything. It even resulted in having a headache.

 William noticed it because I never spoke again, so he stopped what he was doing first. "Did you understand what I was saying?" William asked.

 I just nodded, which surprised William because it was so quiet and he noticed my face like someone else, because William was not used to it being quiet. During the few years they were at school, he already knew my habits and was very naughty, especially how I felt about him. "Are you okay?" William asked me uncontrollably.

 I was surprised by his sudden question, but eventually I answered, "Yes, I'm okay." in a low voice. Because my head hurt from what William explained, I just stared at the paper and didn't look at William.

 William frowned again and crossed his arms, looking at me. "Look at me," William said.

 I looked at him in surprise, but he still didn't speak. "It's just like this: I'll only teach you every weekend and not every breaktime. We'll just meet in a park near our school. Is that okay with you? "

 "It's okay with me, " I replied weakly.

 "The class is about to start again. Keep your reviewer. " I took it and quietly put it in my bag.

 I stood up, but I stopped in front of William, who was still sitting. "I would like to say something."

 "What is it?"

 "Did you know that you are like a math problem?"

William looked up at me. "Math problem, why?" he asked, his forehead narrowing, almost connecting his eyebrows.

 "If you pay attention, you can tell it's not that difficult. I'm not really focused on getting the right solution and getting the right answer. "

 "I do not understand."

 I gasped at his answer. "You're intelligent. Why don't you get what I'm saying?"

 "Why do your words still have meaning?"

 My eyes widened. "There's probably yes! Why are you carrying so many books? You don't know how to create another meaning for it!"

 "Is it necessary?" William's innocent answer.

 I just scratched my forehead. "In short, even if you're like that, I'll still make a way for you to notice me no matter how long. That's it, and you are so hard to talk to, so I will go first. " I walked back to the classroom, and William was left sitting.

 "I'm the one who's really hard to talk to. She's the one who can easily change her mood, as if she was sad a while ago, and now she's the one first to walk out. " William just shook his head and followed Daniella because he might be late for class.

 It's afternoon and it's time to go home, but my roadway is not to my home. The direction I was going is like a park, and it looks like this is what William was telling me earlier. I just walked around and looked at the people who were around me. I sat down on a chair and watched a dog that was swaying its body with its master's, who seemed to be begging for food. Its female owner was holding fries, so I was amused as I watched it until it finally left the place. Eventually, I got up as well and walked home too.

 It was already Saturday and Daniella was in a hut and had been staring at the paper she was holding. The thick paper was what William had given to her, and now she was trying to understand all the formulas, but it looked like Daniella's eyes were about to cry of blood because she could see the numbers and letters on the paper.

 I lowered the paper and looked at the emptiness. "There's really no hope for me to remember what's written on the paper, because it's so hard!" I ruffled my hair and was disgusted with myself.

 While I was in that state, my mother came with a snack and wondered why I was in that state. "What does that look like, Daniella? You're studying and you're not in a horror house. "

 My hair is messy and my eye bags are turning black because I couldn't sleep last night. "Mom, I don't want to go to school anymore."

 Maria, frowned. "Why don't you go to school? It's just a week after your first school year, yet you're going to stop. Don't do things that will make me mad, Daniella! "

 I grabbed the sample formula and solution and showed it to my mother. "This is the reason, Mom, I don't understand!"

 Maria took it and read it. "What's difficult here? It's just a math subject, "my mom said calmly.

 My eyes widened because of my mother's answer. "What are you, Mom? That's hard for me. That's math. Please try to answer if it's easy. There are some questions there. "

 She looked at me badly. "Why should I answer this? I'm not the student for the two of us. You Daniella, don't make a scene, so you can't do your assignment! "

 "It's not an assignment, it's from my tutor."

 My mom was surprised by what I said. "Tutor? When did you get a tutor to teach you? I didn't raise you without a brain, Daniella. "

k In my mind, "My mom, the way she said that, she also can't answer math, we're just the same."

 "I know that looks like Daniella; are you saying I'm not good at math?"

 I raised my eyebrows. "Can you read a human mind now?"

 My mom sighed at me with annoyance. "Just start studying, as much as you said, and with whom your tutor agreed to teach you. Where will you get the payment for your tutor? "

 "No Mom, my school has a special program. Your daughter is just lucky, so I was chosen to be taught by William. " I parted my hair at the same time.

 My mother's eyebrows almost met. "William?"

 "Yes, William, my crush since my first year of high school."

 "Seriously? It's like just the other day ..." My mom couldn't continue what she was going to say when she shifted her eyes to me and now saw my face waiting for the next word she was saying.

 "What's that, mom? It's like just the other day? "

 Her eyes blinked a few times. "I want to buy pork, but the price is too high."

 "I don't think that's what you should say."

 She got up and planned to leave. "Just study there and I'll leave. You already have a snack. Maybe your brain will somehow be equipped with a little more intelligence. " She came out of the hut and left me unable to believe what my mother said.

 "What did mom think? I'm brainless!" I took the paper and stared at it, then put it down again on the table. "She's right, I really don't have a brain." I put my forehead on the table at the same time. 

 "It's up to me if I can answer William's short quiz before he starts teaching another subject. But I think as long as I don't get a high score, I'll just keep repeating it. "

 All day, I focused only on math formulas and solutions, and the next day I did the same, because on Monday, William would give me the short quiz. They decided to start tutoring next Saturday, and I and William were talking about teaching me in a plaza near the school, so I'm now trying my best to just remember the solutions even though my brain is not working properly.

 Night came, when I stopped solving the math formulas and sat on the edge of my bedroom window and looked at the moon that was so bright that night. I just stared at it, and it was as if the depth of my thoughts was that I stood up and closed the window to get ready to sleep.

 It's Monday, and I'm in the school garden right after their lunch time, but William isn't there yet. I ate first before going to the garden, and it looks like William ate too, so he wasn’t there yet. I hadn't looked at William before during class and avoided getting his gaze on my face.

 A few minutes later, William immediately sat in the chair opposite to me. And William noticed that my head was bowing too much and my hair was covering my face.

 "Did you review?" William asked.

 "Of course, yes!" I say it proudly.

"Really? All right, let's try. " William handed the paper to me. I took it and examined it.

 I suddenly raised my head in shock because of what I saw. "Wait!! You just said it was a quick test.Why do I have to answer up to 50 numbers with a solution for every number? You think I'll finish this before the bell rings? " My eyebrows were almost completely together as I frowned.

 "Did you sleep?" William asked seriously.

 I touched my eye because my eye bag had almost turned black from being awake for two nights.

 "Slept, why?"

 "Looks like you did well reviewing what I gave you. Are you okay?"

 I smiled and thought that I might not be able to continue the quiz I was supposed to answer. "It's okay."

 "Is that so? Okay, you can now answer ​that." After saying that, he opened the book and began reading. I was left gaping at what he said.

 "I still thought he would be nice to me." I stared at William, who wasn't looking, so even against my will, I answered the quiz, and it's up to me if the bell rings to signal that their lunch break is over.

Daniella was so serious about answering that quiz that she didn't realize that William was peeking from the book he was holding. William saw how persevering Daniella was in answering what he gave, so a small smile flashed on his lips and then he went back to what he was reading. Daniella had been answering for almost half an hour when the bell suddenly rang, so she stopped. And she was almost at number 20 when the school bell rang.

 "Finished?" William asked.

 "Of course not yet, the bell rang, how can I still finish?" I replied, disappointed.

 William picked up the paper and looked at how far she had come. "It's okay, let's see if you've got at least one right." He hid the paper in the bag and stood up and walked to the classroom, even though I followed him.

 Daniella's day of classes was over, and it was obvious that her eyes wanted to close because she was so sleepy.

Bree was not with Daniella when she came home because Bree was in a hurry to go home, so while she was leaving the school gate, William called her.

 "Hold on!"

 I lazily turned to William and just waited for him to get close to me. "We're going somewhere; follow me," he said, and continued walking.

 My forehead furrowed because I really wanted to go home. Even though I was tired, I walked with a smile and followed William.

 Daniella was already just behind William, five steps away. She walked too slowly with her head bent down. William noticed it, so he walked back and leveled his walk with Daniella while she was not aware of it.

 I just followed where William was going, and I noticed that I had also been in the same park the previous day.

 "What are we going to do here? We have discussed that you will start tutoring me on Saturday, right?" Until William sat down in a chair with a table, I just sat down too.

 "I will check your answer earlier in your quiz here."

 I wondered why he even took me to the park if he was just checking my answers earlier. "Why am I still here?"

 He looked lazily at me. "Can you just stop asking?" William pulled out the paper and began checking my answers.

 Daniella just nodded and put her arm and head on the table because she was really sleepy. In less than five minutes, it was obvious that she had fallen asleep. William shifted his gaze to Daniella, who was already asleep at that time. He watched Daniella while sleeping; he really meant to take Daniella to the park so that she could somehow sleep for a little while. It is dangerous for her if she walks continuously, because later she will face danger on the road if she passes out.

 While they were in that position, a man was looking at them from the other chair and table until William and Daniella arrived. He looked at Daniella first, then at William, and the man was looking at them while they were sitting. "Is she your girlfriend?"

 William turned to look at him and shook his head in response. "Why do you two look like lovers?"

 "She's not my girlfriend; she's just my classmate, and I'm her tutor." 

 The man smiled. "I think I know who she is to you—maybe she likes you, but you don't pay attention to her." At that time, William didn't answer, and the man was right in his suspicion. "You are lucky then."

 William turned to the man again. "Why did you say I was lucky? This woman is so ugly and will do what she wants even if those around her are no longer happy."

 "Aren't you happy? Of all the guys around your school, you're the only one she chose to have her crush on, and I'm not sure if she also loves you too. " The man was still smiling as he looked at Daniella. "She's beautiful, but why don't you appreciate her effort?"

 William looked at Daniella's face when the man suddenly spoke again. "I was also a high school student back then. I had a classmate like her, but the woman in front of you does not have the same behavior. She also had a crush on one student, but she couldn't say what she felt because she knew I was always around. So what happened was that we graduated, and she was mad at me until the last day in our school."

 "Why are you bothering her? Shouldn't you let her be who she wants? "

 He looked away and stared at the emptiness with a small smile on his face. "Because I also have feelings for her. It's funny to think that I did everything so that she wouldn't just tell her feelings to that person, even though she was almost mad at me then."

 "What you did was selfish."

 He laughed softly. "Yes, I know. I'm aware that I was selfish at that time. But what can I do? I love her, and I don't want her to be with that man."

 "But where is the woman you're talking about now?"

 The smile on his lips disappeared. "Actually, I don't know where she is now. All I know is that the man she liked when we were in high school is already married, but to her I have no news. "

 "Do you already have a family?" William asked.

 "None, because I am still looking for the woman who made my heart beat then, and hopefully this time I can find her and say how I feel."

 William could see in the man's face that his desire for his beloved was real. "What if she already has a family?"

 He smiled at William. "I still don't know what will happen if there is. But all I want is to be able to say what was in my heart a few years ago. If she already has a family, it's okay; at least somehow I told her my feelings. I have been carrying this for a few years. I may be able to move on, but not right away. "

 Another man stopped behind the man William was talking to, and it looked like it was his driver. "Excuse me, sir! We have to leave." The man who called himself "Sir" turned around and just nodded in response, and the man left immediately.

 The man stood up and put both hands in his pants pocket. He's still in a suit and looks like the owner of a company. "If I'm you, don't be in the habit of ignoring her either, because it's obvious that you have feelings for her. You don't know when you might want to say it; she gave up her feelings for you, and it will be more difficult for you to chase if that situation occurs. She has the courage to say how she feels about you. It's up to you now what the answer is to her wish, whether it will be granted or not, or maybe she will get hurt at the end like you." Then a sincere smile appeared on his face after saying that. "I'm leaving. I'm glad to meet you. You two, be careful when you go home." and he walked away. William just quietly looked at Daniella and shifted his gaze to the paper. All answers are correct, even though Daniella only ended at number 20.

 Daniella's eyes moved as she slowly opened her eyes to signal that she had woken up. "I fell asleep?" I looked at William. "Have you finished checking my answer on the paper? Can I see?" I held out my right hand while my left hand was fixing my hair.

 "Not yet," William said, and suddenly, I stopped fixing my hair.

 "We have been here for a while, and I think it's been about an hour, but why haven't you finished checking?"

 "I'm lazy, so I'll just do it some other day."

 I was stunned at what he said. "What did you do while I was sleeping?"

 "Reading a book," William simply replied.

 I looked at him in disbelief. "What else are we doing here? Let's go home so that I can just continue my sleep in the house that I should have done earlier," I emphasized it in every word.

 William ignored me and left first. "Really? He's the one who really leaves first. " I was still sulking as my gaze followed William, who continued to walk, and he did not try to wait for me. "I don't know if William is really numb. He even overcame the  anesthesia." I also followed William, who was already far away from me.

 Finally, the two got home. As William entered his house, he noticed something in the living room because it seemed like there was more than just one voice talking.

 William approached, and he saw that his mother and his father were facing him as they sat down. What he was wondering about was the one sitting in a chair but facing his parents. When William was almost there, his mother noticed him immediately, so she called William.

 She smiled and went to William. "William! It's good that you're here. We have a surprise for you. "

 He frowned but did not speak first. William noticed that the woman who was sitting suddenly stood up, and when she faced him, his eyebrows met even more. "Charice?"

 She smiled and approached. "It's been a long time, William."

 "What are you doing here?" He asked, with no emotion on his face.

 The happiness on Charice's lips disappeared from William's actions, and Charice looked at Williams' mother. "I'm sorry, Charice, to my son. Maybe he needs to rest first." William's mother hesitated to smile at Charice before pulling her son aside for a moment, as Charice and Williams' father were left standing in the living room.

 They stopped where Charice couldn't see.  "Why do you talk like that to your childhood friend? That's not good manners, son."

 "But mom, why is Charice here? Isn't she in another country?"

 Clarissa, William's mother, sighed. "I'm sorry, son, if you're shocked that she's here, but she came back here to study until college."

 "She won't have a problem moving here."

 "I haven't asked her yet, but you might want to ask her." She still smiled at William.

 "You can handle her, mom. I don't have time to talk to her. " And he left his mother, who was supposed to follow, but she decided to just let William go first.

Clarissa went back to where Charice was still waiting. "Charice, you'll have to be patient with William if his behavior is like that, but right now he doesn't seem to want to talk to you. "

 Charice smiled sadly at Clarissa. "It's okay; he was surprised, so he doesn't want to talk to me first."

 "It'll be okay for him too, but dinner is coming soon. Just have dinner here. Lydia is cooking dinner right now."

 Charice just nodded in response and waited a few more hours before William came out of the room again, but he didn't expect that Charice was still there, and it looked like she was still with them for dinner. And since the empty seat was right next to Charice, William just sat there because he had no choice. He sat up straight, and no words came out of his mouth.

 While everyone was eating and they were about to finish, William's dad suddenly spoke. "Son, Charice wants to talk to you after dinner. It's okay with you? "

 William was stunned for a moment but also agreed immediately because, when his dad spoke, he needed to follow. After they finished their dinner, they went to the garden of the house with chairs by their sides.

 William just stood up straight and looked at his mom's plants. "What are you doing here?" he asked calmly.

 Charice was surprised when she answered his question. "To study until college."

 He grinned. "To study? You have a good life in another country, and there are so many good schools there. Why did you come back here just to study?" William said it seriously.

 Charice's face showed sadness because of what he said. "Can't I study here anymore?"

 William lazily looked at her. "You should finish high school first before you move here." Then he looked at the plants again. "And which school will you enroll in?"

 "At your school," Charice suddenly said.

 His eyebrows met. "Why would you enroll in the school where I was?"

 "I just want to," was her simple answer.

 He grinned at her answer. "It's up to you where you want to go, but don't bother me if you continue to be able to enroll in my school." William walked away and left Charice.

 Charice's gaze followed until William entered the house. "His behavior has changed since I left here," she said softly before finally entering the house too.

 Charice and William have been together since they were in elementary school, but they separated when they were in high school because Charice studied abroad, so William was left here. What's even more painful is that it doesn't seem like she can be forgiven because she promised that until they went to college, where one was, the other should be there. But she did not fulfill that because her parents took her to another country to study, but now she will try to regain William's trust no matter what happens.

 Meanwhile, Daniella, as she was in her room, suddenly felt as if something could not be explained. "Why do I feel like something will happen that I will not be happy about when I go to school?" Although she was confused by how she felt, she just removed that from her mind. The negative thoughts that entered her mind.

 It was morning, and all the students were in their respective classrooms, including Daniella and William. A teacher came in and before the class started she said, "Okay class, good morning, but before we start our lesson, I want to announce that we have a transferee student, and her section is here."

 Bree approached Daniella. "Her? meaning she's a woman, Dan, but why did she transfer here? We've been in school for almost a month, right? "

 "I don't know what the new student's trip is, but let's just see." I shifted my gaze to the front of the blackboard and waited for their new classmate.

 William felt that he already knew who their teacher was referring to, so he was not surprised if there was a new transfer student, but what he wondered was why in the exact section where he was too.

 Charice entered slowly, but her sight was on the student and she was looking to see where William was, and when she saw him, she smiled at him, which surprised Daniella because she saw how the female transferee smiled at William.

 "Daniella I saw that. It looks like you'll have a harder time getting attention from William. You'll have a rival right away. " Bree shook her head while saying that to me.

 I glared at her. "You know, you left a word that I might overthink for what you said." Bree smiled at me and looked at the transfer student again.

 "Introduce yourself!" our teacher said. The transfer student smiled, and the other students smiled as well. "Hi! My name is Charice Lopez, and it's nice to meet you all. " She even bowed to the students.

 Their teacher was looking for a seat, but it stopped right in front of Daniella. "Miss Paz looks absent." She turned to Charice. "Charice, just sit there." At the same time, the teacher pointed to the empty seat in front of Daniella's desk.

 "And class, tell Miss Paz that she'll be sitting in the back and not where Charice is sitting. Is that clear?"

 "Yes ma'am!"

 Their teacher turned her gaze to Charice. "You may take your seat, Miss Lopez." Charice thanked her teacher first before walking closer to the chair, and she wasn't looking towards the chair like she was where William was, who was just looking straight at their teacher.

Charice finally sat down in her chair. Daniella turned her eyes and looked back and forth between William and Charice because she was really wondering why, of all the students here, the transfer student looked only at William and smiled.
