Fire Of Jealousy

Three days after the spot check operation, Ita, Irland and I were sitting at the counseling room, chatting merrily while watching Mr. Jana cutting the grass at the school’s garden. Actually, we’d finished carrying the books from staffroom to Encik Idris’s room. Well, now he’d his new room because he was the only one counselor in our school. When he’d asked us to carry the books to his room, we feel so lucky because it was our chance to skip the class. Fortunately, we had a license to skip. If not, Mr. Sim will surely punch us like Space Cop Gaban did to the big bad monster which had been making a chaos at the entire city of Tokyo. Hehehe… but no! He’s not going to punch anyone because he’s afraid if the students will punch him too. Back to my story just now, as we’re chatting, suddenly, Encik Idris is coming with the list of the spring cleaning time which was happen every Monday to Friday (3:30p.m. to 5:30p.m.). During this time, we had to taking care every class that doing this job. When Irland had received the list and stare at it, she’d quickly complain but Encik Idris told her that we’re lucky because we’re just keep an eye on those students but not doing the spring cleaning job. It seems like Encik Idris was teasing us. Well, he’s right because last week, almost half of our classmates especially the one who lives at the outside the school except Sulastrie, did not come for spring cleaning. Mr Sim was very much angry over the incident. The victims were four of us – Ita, Irland, Rodney and me. Four of us have to carefully explain what’s going on and we have to protect ourselves from being hit by the rattan stick as well. Rodney was lucky enough to escape because if Mr. Sim knows that Laura was his neighbor, he’ll be totally toast by that monster. Like it or not, Rodney have to bring Laura to the school by hook or by crook. If not, he’ll be the victim that will be hit by Mr. Sim with his long evil weapon rattan stick. Me? I’m lucky to stay far away from them. Huh! That’s bullshit!

I brought back the list of the spring cleaning time to the class. On my way back to the class, once again I look at the list again. Oh, shit! I don’t believe it, that day was my duty to watch over of form 1D which their class will do the spring cleaning this afternoon. Huh! I hate it! When the bell is ringing, I just realized it was 1:30p.m. and it’s time to run back home. I have to back home quickly because I’ll be on duty at 3:30p.m. As I’m coming back home, I’m running to the kitchen and started to take lunch for half an hour. My mum didn’t ask me anything about what’s happening in my school that day. Another 15 minutes I was taking a bath. I don’t take a long to groom just like the girls did, so it takes 15 minutes to do that too. I’m leaving home on 2:50p.m. It takes 15 minutes to go to the school. I hate walking during the afternoon time especially when the sun started to burn my skin. I’m pretty much look like a roasted chicken which was roasted inside the oven. I’m always questioned myself when can I get the skin as white as Madonna. Then again, I hate brought the umbrella because I’m always lost it. Everything just ain’t right for me. I just don’t know why. The time was 3:05p.m., when I’m coming to the school. I was pretty exhausted and I have to wait another 20 minutes for starting my duty. The class that I watch over that day was form 1E and the discipline teacher who also on duty alongside with me was none other than Mr. Fred (my favorite cute teacher in the world). You know what, everytime Mr. Fred was by my side I feel very much comfortable. For one thing he was easily to flatter but the real reason was he was one of nice teacher that I’ve ever met in my entire life. He doesn’t like to force other people at least he had to do it. I don’t want to be a fool like the other students. They always talk about how stupid he is but for me he’s always being the teacher that gives me inspiration when I need one. Okay, I admit. I have a crush on him too but that doesn’t mean I’m serious with it.

Therefore, I watch over them like Mr. Fred told me to. At first, everything seems to be alright. Most of my juniors are easily working under me because I like to smile when I’m working with them. I’m not going to act like a lioness in the African’s reserve forest because if I’m doing it of course nobody likes me. I like to act like a cat or that short dog. What’s the name, Yorkshire terrier? Sometimes, the naughty boys like to disturb me. If I’m going to follow my heart, I’ll kick their butt one by one. As I’m keeps on watching them, suddenly, one of the boy student in that class running towards me. He’d told me that about fight at the back of the KHB workshop. That place which Mr. Pierra always brought us to do the wood work lesson. I don’t believe it. Can somebody tell me the person who dares to wake me up from the dreamland? Argghhh!!! I’ll kick their butt as soon as I know who they are. But before I’m going to kick their butt, I’ve told one the students to tell Mr. Fred to see me immediately at KHB workshop. She and one of her friends went to the staffroom while that student and I went to workshop immediately. Before I went away, I’ve told the rest of the students to do their work and don’t ever come cross over my order. They’re seems afraid of me but oh well, I have to do that to scare them off. I wish I scare off with that kind of harsh word. Both of us went to the KHB workshop and I walked faster as I could. As I passed over the boys and girls toilets, I can’t think of anything else although, I hate this place because everytime we’re having spring cleaning, we’ll be asked to clean this place. Yuck! I hate toilet. As soon as I came to the place that claim by the student who reports to me, both of the boys almost hit each other while one of the girl at the middle tries to stop both of them although she looks very much afraid. “Hey, what are you guys doing? The teacher and I did not asking three of you acted at the drama at Spektra slot!” I shout towards three of them. They’d stopped for a while when they saw walked towards them. From their reaction, I know three of them afraid especially that girl but looks like the boy acted cool but full with anger in their eyes.

When I’m started to ask who’s started the fight, the boys had started to blame each other and the girl keeps her mouth shut. However, I asked both of them to shut up and begin to interrogate them one by one. Therefore, I’m choosing the boy who wears the black Ts with the ‘skull’ pattern. According to him, suddenly, he grabbed his clothes and brought him to fight. He didn’t really know what happening and thought he was bluffing. When another one almost opens his mouth to defend himself, I’m quickly asked him to shut up. Then, I asked him to explain why did grab his clothes but that boy told me that he’s not the one who started the fight. It supposed to be he was accidentally step his feet to him and then, he did apologized to him but at the end that boy with the black shirt with skull pattern started to shout to him with very harsh word. That makes him feels very disturb and started to question why he did it? They fail to explain to me what kind of harsh words that was used during the fight until they’re almost each other. When I’m started to ask the girl about how did she involved in the fight. With only a simple explanation, she’d told me that she had passed by and when she saw the boys tried to hit each other then, she’s trying to stop them. As I questioned each of them, I’ already knows that they’re lying to me. The way of their body language makes me, suspected that this incident is more than that. But I’m decided to keep quiet and pretending to accept their reason. Mr. Fred came as soon as I’m finishing my interrogation. He asked me what’s really going on but I give them an excuse by saving their butt. I’m explaining to Mr. Fred that it was a little misunderstood that had already corrected. He didn’t want to ask them because he trust everything that I’ve said. Usually, I’m always being honest everytime Mr. Fred asked me a question. “Okay, if that so, go back to work”, told Mr. Fred. Three of them are going back to the school’s garden while I was walking with the two students that help me out just now. Mr. Fred was taking into different direction as he told me that he went back to the science lab where the other group was cleaning around the compound. On my way back home to the basketball field, both of them had told me that it was actually all about love triangle.

As I begin to listen to their story, I found my guess was absolutely right. It was started when the boy (who attacks the one who wears the black T with the skull pattern) had a relationship with the girl. As he found other girl, he’s started to abandon her. She was tears apart when she knows that he cheats on her. Since then, she had been cheered by the boy (who wears the black T with the skull pattern). They thought she found a new love since she was break up with her old boyfriend. The rumor was spread was fast but I’ve told them, I didn’t know anything about it. Hey, come on. I have no time with the bull shit stuff. I’m already had my own problem but anyway, as it was part of my duty, it’s not wrong to know what is really happening. They’d really thought it will head to happy ending story until the incident had happening today. According to other sources, the boy who leaves the girl just now was furious about it and he’d started to try to get back with his girl. “What about the girl that supposed to be with him?” I asked. Both of them told him it was one-night-stand kind of love. Damn! I should’ve known this dirty stuff came in between. In my conclusion, jealousy is becoming main problem in this case. Well, I guess I was successfully solving the case without knowing the real ending to this triangle love. It was love drama that should be showed to the audience at the Spektra slot which shown every Monday to Friday at 8:30p.m in channel RTM 2. I’m not really a fan of drama in that slot but I only watch the drama that I thought I like it. I’m still crazy about X-Files and nothing beat it all. About the incident that day, everyone had keeps quiet about it. None of us exposed the story to anyone. Not even my closest friends like Sulastrie, Maria and Haidar and not even my favorite teachers especially Mr. Fred. Was I afraid to tell them? No, no at all. That because I was given a chance for three of them to remedy the mistake. Whatever happens that day was one of the days of being school prefect while keeping an eye over the student. I thought I can’t managed the situation but I was wrong because underestimate my own ability. Well, it is still just of those bad days when I’m in the line of duty.
