OUR YOUTH

She's Ostracized

No one cares about what she just went through. That's what class looks like. They're better off not caring than having to deal with Clara and her friends. And it's been the last time Clara took her clothes off, she did it because she wanted to avoid the punishment of Mr. Jack who was so cruel. He would not hesitate to punish his students for any reason to avoid his study hours.

Punishment of running around the field for 30 laps. It's excruciating because the school grounds are half the size of football fields. Just breathe a sigh of relief walking out of class, ready to be unprepared, he has to accept the punishment.

"Hi, Lucas! Did you just come?" said the principal, named Maycle. He walks to Lucas who just came up with a confused face when he is approached by him.

"Now it's sports lesson time, you're already wearing clothes, right?" asked Maycle who already wears sports clothes.

"I didn't bring it," Lucas said casually.

"You don't have it, or you don't have it yet?" asked Maycle.

"Yeah."

"You fool! You think you want to be punished with that obscene teacher, he's the fiercest here," said Maycle.

"Yeah ... so?"

"Come on, I'll give you my old clothes in the locker!" asked Maycle.

Even though he was still confused and shocked because someone suddenly acted nice to him, Lucas could just shut up and follow a big mouth that he didn't know his name.

Walked into the field with some classmates who had been following him for a while. Lucas is already wearing a student sports suit called Maycle. Looks like there's been a lot of people gathering around the field. However, his eyes were focused when he saw a student who was still wearing a regular uniform, seen standing in a resting position lowering his head while the sports teacher continued to speak in slightly harsh words. Lucas thinks it's true what Maycle said, that the teacher's face looks very fierce. It can be seen how she scolded a female student who could only give up.

"Hi, Lucas! Sit here!!" asked Maycle who told him to sit next to her immediately.

But his attention is still on the student who suddenly runs. Looks like she's running around by this whole field. But what he cares about, it's none of his business. But why does that face look familiar, as if it's seen somewhere?

Lucas thinks he's looking back at a female student walking on the sidelines, with no one caring about her.

"Who is she that?" asked Lucas, pointing with his chin at the student.

Maycle seemed to be looking for who Lucas was referring to. He nodded immediately when both eyes saw Karina running. "He's Karina. She gets punished a lot," whispered Lucas because he didn't want to get caught talking by the teacher who was explaining the material before practice.

"Why? She doesn't have clothes, like me?" Lucas asked.

"No. The clothes are always taken with Clara," Maycle said while pointing his chin at straight-haired students who sit not far from them.

No one knows for sure what happened between the two students. This made him very curious, but the question had to be stopped because the teacher told everyone to walk into the center field. It feels like something's wrong in this class.

How not, obviously the class president knows that a female student named Karina needs sportswear, but he prefers to give it to him. And even more strange, the student who took Karina's sportswear didn't look like a person who couldn't bring sportswear, but she looked more like she accidentally took her clothes from Karina.

If his thinking makes sense, then it's true that the class he sits in has a problem. Indicate bullying, Lucas thinks while walking with his friends, even though he is very lazy to take sports lessons.

With the sweat that had been shed on her face and her blushing face, Karina started to run out of breath after running 20 rounds of the field. There are still 20 rounds left but it feels like he can't run anymore. Maybe it's because today's body isn't so good, it makes her tired quickly. It's the stomach that's starting to feel like it's starting and the eyes are starting to get too clear. But the legs still have to run, because if he stops eating, the punishment will increase to double that. A heart that has throbbed so fast compared to normal limits, makes Karina begin to have difficulty breathing.

Karina couldn't run properly but she still kept pushing because she didn't want the punishment to increase. That teacher has absolutely no tolerance. Even though it's not her fault, Karina has to endure this. It's just patience that keeps her going.

All the students have finished training, they can relax in the field until the lesson time is over. However, Karina still did not finish the sentence, which was only one round away.

"KARINA!! COME ON!! So slow as a snail!!" whispered Clara, who was making fun of Karina who was still fighting against her law, without guilt Clara laughed with her two friends so much.

"KARINA!! Let's hurry up!! It's just not strong!!! You're weak!"

“HAHAHAHA … HAHAH … HAHAH …”

Only the three of them were so excited when the other friends were just quiet and busy with what they were doing. Perhaps only one of the two men secretly whispered and felt Karina's pity, only that they chose to pretend not to care would not be the victim of Clara's crime 

The lesson bell ends with Karina finally finishing her sentence. When all her classmates flocked to the class to prepare for the next lesson, Karina was lying limp on the sidelines without anyone wanting to extend help to her.

Lucas was the last person to still walk behind the others. Both eyes looked at a student named Karina lying on the sidelines. The saddest fact is that none of his classmates tried to meet her, they entered the class casually as if they hadn't seen her.

It made Lucas feel like he had something on his mind. Not that he won't help, he's just a freshman who doesn't know what causes students to be ignored by one class. This is not the time to meddle in people's problems, even if he has unresolved problems. In the end, Lucas chooses not to interfere in their affairs no matter what. Lucas went to class.
