Reach for the Sky: Because You’re Young

”W-What do you mean? ” Clara asked, confirming back with what Raka said.

”Well, its simple. You made him hate you by the way you became my girlfriend. Its easy, and you just need to hide behind me. Yeah, Im the one whos going to be hit by it all. ”

Raka wants to try to feel responsible. Although on the one hand, he wants peace, he cannot ignore someone who needs it.

”No, in that case… You know how dangerous that person is, huh? I don want to involve you just because of this trivial matter. ”

”Trivial problem? You hate that problem, don you? So, you won think its a trivial matter. ”

”Thats true, but… I can involve you. You are a new student here. You don know anything yet. You don even know your surroundings. Theres a lot of bad people here, and you
e getting yourself into them. I can involve you. ”

Clara knows what happens when Raka gets involved in all this. She didn want Raka to get into a much bigger problem if she agreed to it. Therefore, she will reject Rakas suggestion.

”Thats up to you, ” Raka said, walking forward slowly. ”I won force it, so its your choice. I will wait for the answer. ” Raka left Clara just like that, and Clara only saw Raka and couldn stop him.

Clara is sure that now Raka is disappointed with her because she refuses the offer. She couldn make the right choice for all of this. This was all too sudden for her. A man came and suddenly asked her out, it made Clara confused as to what she wanted to do.

Clara knows that if she accepts, Raka will be in danger. Clara also knew that if she refused, the chance to be free from that persons restraints would be lost. The choice was so hard, and Clara couldn help but refuse.

But, meanwhile, for Raka, its all about a mans responsibility. Clara suddenly came and greeted him, it indicated that Raka was needed. Raka is sure that with Clara telling a story like that, she needs help. Although in the end the peace he wants will be disturbed, Raka can at least help others which he has not done so far.

It was the first time someone had told him this and that. In addition, Raka was confused to respond with talk. There is only that option alone to help Clara for Raka. Because of that, Raka immediately closed the points and suggested Clara be his girlfriend. He was confused about what he had just done.

What have I said earlier? Somehow it came to my head. I have a girlfriend? Ha, thats something really funny. I want to try that. Do you need the experience to do that? It seems that I also have to watch romantic movies to know how to date.

Yeah, hes never been in a relationship at all. He has no experience with it but suddenly suggests Clara be his girlfriend. Hes really brave.

Arriving at the dormitory, enter the room the school has determined, room 303, which only has three plots; toilet, bathroom, and a multi-purpose room, Raka rested on his bed.

”Ah… so tiring. This is what school feels like. I haven felt that in a long time. ”

He lay down for a while. Then, he got up from his bed and checked what he had brought.

”I brought some toiletries. Don forget to bring some snacks too. This will be useful if I suddenly get hungry. Oh right, I forgot about this. ” He grabbed a pack of cigarettes from his bag. ”I can stop yet. So, I will continue to smoke this cigarette until I quit. ”

He made sure that his room did not have CCTV, fire extinguishers, and other devices that made it impossible for him to smoke in his room. After that, he lit his cigarette and took a deep breath.

”This area is safe for smoking. I thought Id have a small party in this room. Of course, the party will be attended by myself. Haa… I don have any friends. Do I need to find a friend? ”

After talking and contemplating to himself, Raka opened the curtains of his room, looked out the window, and felt the sensation of a gust of wind passing through him.

”Peaceful… this room is so peaceful. I want it to continue like this. ”

Thats what he wanted from the start. It was the first time for him when no one came to him in the afternoon. Its the first time in a day without a fight. It was a peaceful day for him, which he rarely got to experience.

However, his residence only lasted for a moment. Suddenly he saw a guy walking into the dormitory limping.

”Whats wrong with him? He limped while walking, ” Raka asked, continuing to watch the boy walk.

The boy was wearing the same uniform as Raka. That guy was probably also a student at Wlynina Academy. Raka could see that the boys leg was injured even though it was quite far from him, Raka was on the 3rd floor from his room and the boy was right in front of the dormitory fence.

The boy kept trying to get inside the dormitory fence. He was hampered, his leg hurt, and it made his way slow like a turtle.

BREEM!

Raka heard the sound of motorsport. His eyes immediately fell on the motorcyclist.

And a moment later, the motorcyclist hit the boys head with an iron.

”… ”

Raka was silent, watching the boy lying on the ground after getting hit by the iron rod from the rider.

The guy was lying there, but the rider came back after turning his motorbike.

”Watch out! ”

Raka immediately ran, out of his room and went to the front of the dormitory to save the boy.

But, when he arrived at the lobby, he saw so many students were watching the boy being beaten by the rider.

Raka is confused. There were so many people in the lobby, but none of them wanted to help the boy. Only those who saw the boy being beaten, without any sympathy to help. It made Raka confused.

Whats with them really, huh!?

Raka must help the boy before the boy dies. He had to get there quickly.

When Raka broke through the people, someone stopped him and grabbed Rakas hand.

”Do not! ”

Its Chandra. Chandra prevents Raka from going there.

”You… ”

”Don go there! ” Chandra said firmly. ”If you go there, you will be involved with it all. Don get involved, Raka! ”

For some reason, Raka glanced outside the dormitory fence and thought.

Raka thought to help the boy. He was looking for a way to help the boy. Because after all, what Raka saw was that the boy would die if he continued to be attacked by the motorcyclist. Therefore, Raka had to help him.

”No, I won be involved in anything. ”

Raka removed Chandras hand from him, then he ran out of the dormitory lobby, and circled the dormitory. After he found the right place, he climbed over the dormitory fence and turned on the police siren on his smartphone, then left his smartphone alone.

Raka ran to where the boy was. He ran like an innocent boy, who kept his glasses from falling.

After Raka was seen by the rider, Raka shouted:

”Police… there are police on their way. ”

The rider panicked. He also heard the sound of sirens being there as if they were heading towards him.

It was the sound of Rakas smartphone that he had left quite a distance away, not the sound of police sirens, and oddly enough, the rider panicked just because of that.

The trick Raka used worked, the rider escaped from there and the boy survived death.

Because Raka should not be involved, he stopped running before arriving in front of the boy. He turned around and took out his smartphone.

”Fortunately that person is stupid. Even though this is the sound of my smartphone, he blurs like a jambret. Very weird. ”

Raka climbs the fence of the dormitory, then returns to the lobby and meets Chandra and some other cowards.

”See, Im not involved with anything, ” Raka said.

”What have you done? How could that person leave? ”

”Well, I was just using my mind. Because Im innocent. Hahaha. ”

After saying that, Raka noticed the paramedics who were already there. After all, the boy almost died from continuously receiving blows from the bikers iron rod.

The people here don know my identity, but this forced me to act. If it continues like this, my identity will be known to people.

Many people know his name, Rama. Rama is famous for his ferocity in fighting, even being the king of all kinds of battles. Rama is the evil of Rakas past. Therefore, Raka did not want his former identity as Rama to be exposed. Although in the end, he continues to be forced to act according to his instincts as a fellow human being.

But, really whats with this environment? First, I saw the police arresting students at the school. Second, I heard Clara tell her something that made her uncomfortable. And now, I see that guy getting beat up by the rider, and strangely, no one wants to help him. Whats with this environment? Its worse than what Ive done. Have I been tricked into going to school here? Who has deceived me?

Raka wondered. He was confused by his new environment. He even judged that what had happened was something worse than his past self. It made him wonder what was going on in his new environment.

”The most important thing now, I have to enjoy the peace of my life. I better go back to my room and take a shower. It was tiring today. ”
