Time Turner

Chapter 40 - Excuses

It was the last day of school before the weekend the next day. As usual, Zio drives them all to GIPEC. Everything looks normal if not for Zio's obvious absentmindedness and Aurina's wounded lips.

"Be careful, don't get into any more trouble." Zio reminded them then he looked at Aurina with a warn full eyes, "Make sure to not walking around by yourself, and don't go to the deserted part of the school. Got it?"

"Consider it done, Dad!" Aurina jokingly salutes him as if he was a military captain. Then with a small worried smile, Zio droves away to GIPEC Private Hospital Building.

"Alfi, Aurin, I have promised my friends to help him with his weapon handling today at CDC. So I will be going first." Henry said as he hurriedly leaves. Alfizar looked slightly down at Aurina, as she was a bit shorter than him.

"I will walk you to your class."

While on the way to Aurina's class, Alfizar met with a lot of Aurina's female friends that keep stopping them on the way to ask about her lips, and her response was ridiculous.

"Yesterday there's a lot of girls from the senior years, they are all big bullies!" Aurina explained exaggeratedly to one of her friends. A blonde girl showed a horrified expression then she suddenly grabbed Aurina's arms and turning her around to check for any more injuries.

"Are you alright?!" A brunette asked, but before Aurina could answer her, the blonde one asked another question.

"Why do they did this to you?!" The blonde girl said angrily then her eyes actually tear up... Actually, Tear Up!

While Alfizar still stunned by the sudden display of emotional tears, he missed the mischievousness smirk on his little sister's face that disappeared in a blink of an eye. With a wronged expression Aurina cover her eyes with her palm.

"They thought I was my Brother's girlfriend!" Alfizar could tell that Aurina was faking that sobs.

'Out of all excuses! Why me?!' Alfizar thought as he held in the urge to smack Aurina's head. It's been a long time since Aurina dared to use him as excuses or even dare to tease him like this! No, he was not glad! At. All!

The two girls looked at Alfizar in surprised then it twisted in hidden disapproval in a second.

"Hey! Didn't you do something for your sister?! Bring her justice!" The blonde said angrily.

'Am I still dreaming back at home? That bullying never happen!' Alfizar could only let out a wry smile as he sends Aurina a pitiful pleading looks. Taking a pity on her brother, Aurina decided to help him out from the trouble she made.

"Of course he brings me justice! My brother took care of them for me!" Aurina said with high spiritedly. But the effects she was hoping for didn't surface. The effect is the opposite. Both girls looked at Alfizar horrified.

"He beat up those girls?!" The brunette said. Both of them looked troubled to decided whether to disapprove of his action of 'hitting a girl' or admire him to 'stood up' for his sister. They have a big misunderstanding. Because of Aurina.

Alfizar can't hold it anymore, in the end, he forcefully pulled Aurina to leave her friend and speed walking to another hallway and disappear from the stunned girls. With a twitching eyebrow, Alfizar scolded her.

"Don't ever involve me when you are making an excuse ever again!"

Aurina burst out laughing while making sure she wasn't too loud by closing her mouth with her palm.

"Ahahaha! That was funny!"

"You just make your brother has a bad reputation," Alfizar growled.

Aurina wiped away the tears that have formed by laughing too much in the corner of her eyes.

"Sorry, I'll make it up to you later!" She then walked toward a closed door. So that was her class. With a wave and a smile, she disappeared behind the closed door. Alfizar could only sigh in irritation.

Alfizar decided to go to his own class. On the way to the class, Alfizar saw Frans and Rachzi talking while they sat comfortably under a quite big tree, the canopy protected them from the glaringly hot sun.

Alfizar approach the two. The closer he is, the more clearly he could hear that the two of them was talking seriously.

"So that's where you went to..." Rachzi nodded to himself.

"Yeah, I know he was probably was not the culprit. But I don't want to suspect my own friends. Seeing it with my own two eyes just kind of unbelievable." Frans sigh sadly. Suddenly feeling curious, Alfizar stopped himself from greeting the two. Are they talking about the incident? Alfizar walked closer as he tried to make as little noises as possible.

"Then Harloz really is not the culprit?" Alfizar heard Rachzi asked, His voice full of uncertainty.

"I'm sure-. What are you doing there?" Frans exclaimed in surprise as his hands shoot up to is c.h.e.s.t, he took a step back from Alfizar who has failed at his attempt in hiding. Actually, Alfizar was not really failed. He was hiding behind the tree perfectly hidden from Rachzi and Frans.

But he was too serious trying to catch what Frans saying that he didn't notice both of them stood up and going to get inside the building.

"I was about to surprise you!" Alfizar praises his own quick excuse that didn't sacrifice anyone.

"You did well!" Frans said as his face still looks irritated at being surprised.

Rachzi laughed as he shooked his head feeling amused. He pushed Alfizar and Frans towards the building.

"That's it, let's go inside. Look at the sky." When Alfizar and Frans heard Rachzi's words, they looked up at the sky. The sky was dark, and the wind as cold as ice. This is the famous extreme weather changes that have been happening for years. Summer today, Winter next week or even the next day. No one could predict the weather anymore.

"Looks like it's going to snow," Alfizar muttered to himself.

'That's right, Vianzo looks like Vi. And Har... Harloz?!'

"Have we met before here in GIPEC?" ]
