"On Monday we will take the National Examination, surely you will be the highest ranking winner, even though you are 16 years old while we are in the same class as you who are 18 years old," Amel said as he walked behind Risa and tried to balance the steps with Risa. "Can you not tell me about this bruise?" Amel asked while trying to touch the bruise on Risa's face but Risa quickly turned her face away. "What you want, you always bother me, you always make me dizzy by fighting people who don't like me, always trying to approach me, what is your goal" Risa said annoyed and cold because she was always followed by this cheerful girl. He didn't care about Amel's attitude who was always cheerful and friendly to anyone. Risa just wants Amel to never interfere with her life.

Amel always thinks what exactly is wrong with him? why does Risa always refuse to be friends with her? is he too annoying? or too noisy to be friends? "Therefore, from now on, learn to accept me as your friend," Amel said, holding Risa's hand. Risa looked at her hand held by Amel, seeing the hand held by Risa's heart warmed up, she felt someone cared about her besides uncle, aunt, and also her grandmother. Tatepi for a moment Risa realized, she again tried to fortify herself that she could not trust anyone else, her heart had been devastated by her suffering all this time, she would not allow the last part of her heart to be controlled by someone else until it was destroyed again. No, he already felt very devastated by the actions of his parents. He would not let his heart break again by trusting others and finally betraying him. Risa pulled her hand from Amel's hand, making Amel look at Risa right in his eyes. Risa immediately turned around and returned to continue her steps to leave Amel who was still standing in his place who was only staring at Risa's back which was getting away. *** When Indonesian language subjects for the final assignment the teacher gives the task of making tools related to the Solar System, Livelihoods, Culture and others.
