Overdramatic

Amidst the crowd and the soul-stirring music, Inez swayed her hips effortlessly, her hands and feet following the movements of her body, which was becoming more and more agile.

As the night wore on, the DJ's music didn't stop, but grew louder, making the crowd inside the large room cheer, including Inez herself.

Inez's consciousness was not completely normal, the girl staggered several times amidst the people who were dancing under the colorful bar lights. Half closed, Inez followed the music. One bottle of alcohol made her like this.

"I DON'T CARE IF YOU LOVE ME OR NOT, I DON'T REGRET BREAKING UP WITH YOU AT ALL! I'M FREE! NO ONE CAN BOTHER ME ANYMORE!"

Inez shouted loudly while vigorously swaying. No one cared about her, everyone there was focused on their own business. The girl smiled as her eyes closed. Her vision blurred, but Inez was still strong enough to stand up even though she almost fell down several times.

At eleven o'clock at night, the place was getting more and more crowded. Inez opened her eyes slowly when someone touched her long hair. The low light made it difficult for Inez to catch who the person was. Not to mention if she was drunk, it was even harder to concentrate.

"Hello, girl."

Inez let out a small sigh when a man briefly kissed her neck. Inez didn't resist, she needed it. Inez closed her eyes again, while the man had already started swaying to the music.

The man smiled happily as he realized that Inez was giving him a chance. He held Inez's waist tightly, then followed the girl's sexy and seductive swaying.

Inez's clothes, which looked short, or more familiarly, lacking in material, certainly looked tempting in the eyes of men.

"Ahh ...." Inez sighed again when she felt her ass being squeezed. Inez wrapped her arms around the man's neck and smiled widely.

"How is it, baby? Good?" Inez nodded quickly, while the unknown man chuckled. Inez was getting better at shaking her body. Then, when the music faded away, Inez grabbed the man's lips and kissed him deeply.

The man, of course, did not dodge, he just wanted more. The slow kiss turned into a ferocious one. Inez closed her eyes while grabbing the man's hair. The kissing got faster, tongues twined together, and the rhythm of the heart was getting more and more frantic. Inez released the kiss when she felt her breath running low.

"Honey, do you want to go to the room?"

Inez moistened her lips with her tongue, her slightly blurred vision now directed to the face of the man who was still faithfully holding Inez possessively.

Inez laughed loudly, bringing confusion to the man's face. "Why are you laughing, honey?" he said while frowning. "Do you want to move to the hotel?"

"How much money do you have to take me to a hotel?" Inez chuckled at the end of her sentence.

"How much do you want?"

"Five million at a time, and double that if I get in. Agreed?"

"That's it?" The man smiled lightly. "You can get five times that as long as you sell your sexy body tonight, baby."

Inez was still semi-conscious. She didn't fully know what she was saying. Her body was still under the influence of alcohol. Inez almost nodded and said "yes" to the unknown man's offer. However, just as her mouth opened, the man released Inez's embrace and staggered backward.

Plak!

"Oh, so this is what you do every night?! Getting drunk and flirting with other women?" There was a female voice with a distinctly angry accent.

Inez noticed a woman cursing and swearing at the man who had previously flirted with her. Instantly, the action attracted people's attention.

Inez, who was still semi-conscious, just stood by and watched. She did not want to interfere. With her sweet eyes, Inez intended to get away from there. She yawned a few times because sleepiness had made her eyes feel heavy. Inez missed her soft bed at home.

But unfortunately, Inez was startled by something that made the sleepiness that attacked her immediately disappear. From behind, her shoulder was suddenly touched, and she turned. Inez turned her head, but before she knew who the culprit was, her cheek was slapped so hard.

Pain and heat immediately spread across Inez's face. She was silent for a moment as she held her cheek. There was a surprised squeal from the people who were still watching.

"That's a nice gift for a seductress like you, little bitch!"

Inez moved her head. It was the woman who had dared to slap her. Before Inez could retaliate, the girl had already lost track of the damn woman. She had already left with her husband in tow.

A low cry escaped Inez's red lips. Damn, the corners of her lips were bleeding, making the stinging even more intense. Inez hissed in annoyance.

"You crazy bitch!" Inez shouted loudly, her eyes wide and sparking embers. Inez was angry at being called a little bitch by the unknown woman. Her mouth opened again, "And you have to remember, I'm not a bitch!"

Inez's breathing was irregular, her body shook, and her chest pounded even more. Enduring the pain, Inez staggered to her feet. She decided to leave the nightclub.

Inez let out an exasperated chuckle once she was outside. The clock on her wrist already showed one o'clock in the morning. Inez stepped slowly, several times, she almost fell down. Unfortunately, the effects of the alcohol she had drunk had not dissipated. Inez felt even more dizzy.

Inez went to this place originally with her best friend. But unfortunately, her best friend had to leave a few hours ago because of sudden business that could not be left behind.

And now, Inez felt regret for deciding to stay. She should have just left earlier. Now the girl with short clothes, a bag slung over her shoulder, and high heels didn't know what to do now. The reason was that she couldn't find any taxis or motorcycle taxis passing by.

Inez felt even more unlucky when her cell phone went off. The sufferer was complete tonight. As she limped along, Inez occasionally closed her eyes. Whoever it is, please help Inez, who is drunk!

The influence of the drink that Inez had downed made her even more unsteady. She didn't even know where her footsteps were going. Until finally, Inez did not realize that she had stepped into the middle of the street.

A white light suddenly shone on her face until Inez's eyes narrowed, followed by the sound of a horn being pressed repeatedly until it made a very loud sound.

Instead of moving away, Inez stayed where she was. She didn't move, instead, she smiled happily. All Inez could think about was that she wanted to cut down the car.

Inez had smiled widely and closed her eyes, before suddenly having her hand pulled quickly by someone. After that, Inez felt that her ears were hurt by a scream.

"Stupid girl! You want to kill yourself, huh?!"

Inez looked up, and the second she did, she knew who had shouted. Inez chuckled, and her hand then touched the guy's jawline.

"Handsome," she muttered unconsciously.

"You're drunk, huh?"

Inez didn't respond, instead, she chuckled after her hand was roughly pushed away by the boy in front of her.

"You want to rape me now?"

Stunned by the words that rolled out of the long haired girl, Cakra then blinked his eyes. This is the first time he has seen a girl asking to be raped. This girl in front of him had lost her mind.

Or maybe not? He shook his head, and his assumption was that the pale-faced girl with red lips was under the influence of alcohol. That girl was drunk.

The odor from her mouth was obvious, not to mention it was reinforced when Cakra saw that the girl was even calm in the middle of the road even though there were cars speeding away. And if he hadn't been able to save her life, she might have ...

"Please, rape me now!" Inez screamed right in front of his face. "I can't stand it anymore, if you don't want me to, I'll jump off the bridge right now!"

"Well, you're really crazy, aren't you?!" Cakra replied that he couldn't understand the behavior of this unknown girl. He was still in his right mind not to do things that would damage a woman.

"I'll give you a gift later!" Inez was bombarded again. Not giving up on her efforts.

"I'm not interested."

"You'll regret it if you don't do what I want!" said Inez again.

Cakra sighed and put his hands in his pants pockets. He looked flatly at the crazy girl's face. "It's not me, but you who will regret it. I still have my wits about me."

"You don't want to?" Inez's face looked shocked, she looked at Cakra in disbelief.

No need to think about it, she nodded firmly. "Why would I want to? Besides, you're drunk, you don't realize what you've just said."

"I'm sober," Inez argued.

Cakra clicked his tongue, he was getting fed up. "What if you meet a bad person and that person agrees to what you're offering? You'll regret it when you realize it. You'll end up crying."

Inez put on her best smile. Her cheeks were already as red as tomatoes. "I just want to be with you."

"Why me?"

"You're handsome, I like it. Rape me, then you'll be my boyfriend. If I get pregnant, you'll take responsibility, agreed?"

"You're crazy!" said Cakra loudly, pushing Inez's forehead back. "I don't want to be responsible in the end."

"You don't want to take responsibility?" Inez replied, her eyes never tiring of looking at the handsome face in front of her. It was impossible to ignore this wonder of God's creation. "No responsibility is fine. Do you want it?"

"Yeah, still no, I'm crazy for lusting after a drunk."

"But I want to."

"I don't!" sprayed Cakra. "You should go home, you're still drunk. It's dangerous if you stay around."

Inez, who was still semi-conscious, just nodded indifferently. She glanced briefly at Cakra's face before finally turning her body over while scratching her slightly itchy cheeks.

Cakra was still in place, staring at the slender back of the girl he didn't recognize earlier. Cakra sighed, then decided to turn around and go to his new house. But, just one step away, he stopped abruptly and looked back at the drunk girl.

For some reason, Cakra felt a little anxious. He was afraid that something like what happened a few minutes ago would happen to her again. It was too dangerous to let her walk alone. After all, Cakra is a human being who still has a conscience.

He shouldn't ignore that girl. Cakra must take her back to his house. Letting out a long sigh, Cakra finally decided to chase the girl.

He felt he had a responsibility to take Inez back to where she belonged-home. After all, it wouldn't be funny if suddenly there was a news story titled "A girl was hit by a car due to the influence of alcohol."

While Cakra tried to walk at a brisk pace, Inez staggered. She would have fallen if he hadn't caught her. This was not what he wanted. That girl could get hurt at any moment.

But wait a minute, why did he care so much about a stranger?

"You came again," Inez whispered softly when her arm was held quite firmly by Cakra. "Have you changed your mind? Do you want to rape me now?"

"No!" Cakra sneered. "I'll take you home, it's too dangerous to leave a drunk girl like you. Where's your house?"

"It's still far away," replied Inez, who was still half asleep. Her steps were now guided by Cakra. The boy looked at her with a flat stare, then rolled his eyes. Damn, why did he have to meet a drunk girl like this?

"How many glasses did you drink? Your mouth smells really bad, you know?" Cakra asked with one hand covering his nose and mouth. His forehead wrinkled in confusion.

"Rape me first, then I'll answer how much I drank," Inez replied incoherently. This made Cakra even more annoyed because the girl continued to discuss issues that were very sensitive to Cakra's ears.

"I'm not asking!"

"Is my house still far away?" Inez asked suddenly, making Cakra immediately turn his head with his two thick eyebrows almost together.

The boy, who was wearing a plaid flannel shirt rolled up to his elbows, noticed this crazy girl beside him. "Why are you even asking me?"

Cakra could get high blood pressure for a long time if he continued to be close to this obscure girl, how could she not know where her house was? Why also ask Cakra, who clearly doesn't know any better?

Cakra felt that his head was getting hot, emotions were already struggling there. But he tried to be patient. Because Cakra realized that getting angry at a drunk person was pointless. He would be exhausted himself.

"I also don't know where my house is," Inez replied as she looked up, noticing Cakra's handsome face that was also looking at her.

Letting out a long breath, Cakra paused. He was dizzy himself, and the day was also getting early. According to the black watch attached to his wrist, it was now half past two in the morning.

He turned his face to the right and left, then his eyes stopped at the 24-hour supermarket. He smiled and decided to go there and sit the drunk girl on a chair.

"Don't go anywhere, wait for me here. Watch out for making me more trouble." Cakra spoke firmly and glared at the girl. But, Inez just shrugged her shoulders indifferently, before finally putting her head on the table.

Cakra smiled, it was better this way. In less than ten minutes, the boy was already out of the supermarket. Then he patted Inez's cheek.

"Wake up!" he said coldly. But there was no sign of Inez opening her eyes. He tried one more time, pressing his voice to make it louder.

"Hey, wake up!" He shook her shoulders. And it worked, Inez groaned for a few seconds, before finally raising her head.

"Why?

"Here's a drink," Cakra interrupted, thrusting a bottle of mineral water in front of Inez.

Half-lazy, Inez took what he gave her. Then, she drank a little. Cakra glared at that. He immediately commented before Inez closed the mineral water bottle.

"Drink some more," Cakra said firmly. "At least let me finish half the bottle. Not only do I have nothing to lose, but your hangover is also somewhat reduced."

"I'm dizzy, I want to sleep."

"So drink it," Cakra protested, gritting his teeth in annoyance.

There was no other way, so Inez finally obeyed what Cakra said. She saw the look of anger in the boy's eyes, which gave her goosebumps.

"Already."

"Let me take you home. Now remember where your house is?"

Inez smiled sweetly at Cakra, making the boy look at her happily.

"You remember?" asked Cakra excitedly.

"No." Inez replied softly while shaking her head. Cakra widened his eyes, his jaw instantly hardened. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He had to be patient with this girl.

The boy ruffled his waist, staring at Inez's features. Then his gaze stopped on Inez's smooth thighs. A few seconds later, Cakra glared and shuddered. He immediately cast his gaze in another direction.

"Where's your cell phone?" he asked later.

"What do you want?"

"Well, give it to me first."

Inez's eyes lit up. "Want to book a hotel, huh?"

"No, I want to book a grave so I can bury you," Cakra replied sarcastically. "Where?"

"It's in my bag."

Cakra immediately took Inez's bag, opened it, and looked for the girl's flat object. Once he found it, he immediately opened the cell phone in his hand. Cakra felt lucky because he didn't have to ask Inez about the lock pattern. Inez's cell phone didn't have a password.

The first thing that popped into his brain was an online shopping app. With that, he would know where Inez's address was. After knowing that information, Cakra smiled. He uttered a sentence of gratitude to himself because this drunk girl's address was not far from here.

"Let's get up," Cakra ordered after returning Inez's cell phone to its original place.

Inez complied, she almost fell again, but Cakra managed to hold her up. He took over Inez's bag and draped it around her neck. Then he looked down, noticing Inez's high heels. Sensing that it was going to be a long walk, Cakra decided to tell Inez to sit back on the chair.

Half-lazy, Cakra squatted down and took off all of Inez's high heels, then he saw the blisters and bluish bruises on her feet. In certain spots, there was even some bleeding. He gave a small grimace.

He decided to go back inside the supermarket, then came out with a band-aid and applied it to the leg wound.

"If you're not happy, you shouldn't torture yourself," he muttered. After finishing struggling with the wound on Inez's leg. Now, Cakra took off his Converse shoes. He doesn't know where he got the urge to do that.

Even though the Converse shoes he wore were his favorite shoes. Now Cakra doesn't have any footwear. It doesn't matter. The important thing is that the girl's feet will not get hurt worse because now her little feet are wrapped in Cakra's shoes.

"Don't protest, just use mine so your feet don't get worse."

"I don't want it, take it off again!" Inez protested while shaking her foot. "Let's hurry up and take them off."

"No."

"I don't want to ruin my look with your ugly shoes."

Cakra felt like swearing. His eyes sharpened again. "Shut up, I'm still lucky to be good. They're ugly but comfortable, instead of the ones you have. It's expensive, but it hurts. Just obey me, you have nothing to lose. Let's go home now."

Inez stood up, no longer arguing. Cakra was upset, but he didn't want to get angry. It would be a pity if this girl was left to be the outlet of his anger. Although, actually, it's okay if Cakra is upset and ends up angry.

"Uh, wait a minute." Cakra held Inez's arm. "Your clothes make my eyes hurt."

Inez was silent, honestly, what this unfamiliar boy said did not enter Inez's ears. The girl didn't listen, she was more focused on her head, which was throbbing.

"I feel sorry for myself for doing this to you." Cakra brought his body closer to Inez after taking off his flannel shirt, leaving a plain white T-shirt clinging to his ideal body. Then he tied the shirt around her waist.

"This is better," Cakra continued. He smiled because Inez looked less revealing. Cakra then picked up Inez's high heels and walked her back.

Damn, now her body was full of this drunk girl's stuff. A small bag hung around her neck, one hand carrying the high heels. Cakra himself was not wearing any footwear.

After taking a long time, finally Cakra could smile too. He was so relieved, he felt so happy.

"Is this really your house?" asked Cakra, making sure once again.

"Yes, this is my house."

He decided to nod. He handed her the high heels and put the bag back on Inez's neck. "Alright, hurry up and get in."

Without saying thank you, Inez turned around and stepped into his yard. Meanwhile, Cakra remained where he was, his hands in his pants. The boy breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked once again at the big house in front of him. The next second, Cakra turned around. He intended to step back towards his new home. However, after only a few steps, Cakra looked down at his feet.

The boy glared and immediately turned around. "Shirt and shoes?"

He grimaced and tapped his forehead again. "What an idiot."

Accused of stealing a cell phone belonging to a rich man's son, Cakra had to leave school or drop out. Not only is that a problem, but Cakra's poor attendance record, which often leaves him absent, makes the principal's decision inviolable. In fact, Cakra has never stolen other people's goods, he dares to swear. However, arguing was pointless. Cakra had no strong evidence to justify his decision. All he could do was surrender and accept the decision, even though it felt very heavy at heart.

Therefore, inevitably, Cakra had to leave his old school. And today, he can enter his new high school.

Actually, sleepiness still attacked Cakra's eyeballs, but the boy had to get up and go to school. It would look funny if, on the first day of going to his new school, Cakra didn't even show up. He would be labeled as an ignorant and lazy student. And Cakra is willing to bet that he doesn't want that to happen.

Because of the drunk girl last night, whose name he didn't know, he only slept for two hours. If his grandmother hadn't woken him up this morning, he might have been late for school.

Cakra hopes that in his new school, he will be met with good people who accept him regardless of his strengths or weaknesses. Well, let's hope trouble doesn't come. He was tired of living his miserable life.

After his body was refreshed by the cold water, he hurriedly put on his school uniform. He didn't have much time, the teachers at his new school must not get the impression that he is always late.

Cakra was ready to go, his black backpack was already on his back. He only had to put on his shoes. The boy moved nimbly towards the special place for storing footwear. Then he was surprised because his favorite Converse shoes were not there.

Cakra glared, and he began to panic. Then he suddenly realized and froze for a while. After remembering that his shoes were carried by the girl last night, Cakra then sat on the floor. He patted his forehead repeatedly.

"Fool! Fool! Fool!" Cakra cursed at himself. He growled in annoyance. They were the only shoes he could wear. If it was like this, what should he do now?

There was no way he could go to school without shoes. Not wanting to waste time, the boy then started looking for his old shoes. It was the only way. He couldn't skip class on the first day of his new school.

"Finally found it," said Cakra, relieved when he found what he was looking for. He let out a long sigh and began to eat his old shoes, which were already broken and small. It was okay, better to wear them than not at all.

Time was running out, so he got up and went to the kitchen.

"Grandma, I'm leaving first, okay?" Cakra approached his grandmother, then shook her wrinkled hand.

"Have breakfast first, or you'll be weak at school."

"There's no time, grandma," Cakra replied while snacking on food made by his grandmother. Impatiently, Cakra immediately chewed the food. "I'm leaving now, Grandma, I'm afraid I'll be late. It's my first day at my new school. Bye."

He smiled and waved his hand at his grandmother. Then he turned around and ran out of the house, leaving his grandmother in the kitchen, who was still transfixed.

"Be careful on the road!"

"Ready, grandma!" he called back. The boy then approached his gray bicycle, which was parked in his narrow yard. He immediately pedaled his bike at full speed.

***

"Inez, wake up!" Despite being ignored several times, Ghea still hadn't given up on waking up her best friend from her deep sleep.

But to no avail, Ghea's efforts had not yielded any results. Inez had yet to open her eyes. If this was the case, Ghea understood that her best friend didn't sleep last night, or maybe she only slept for a few hours. Two answers that Ghea thought supported why Inez was still up this early in the morning.

Ghea let out a long sigh, she looked lazily at Inez, who was snoring, her cheek pressed against the table, while her hair looked untidy. One more thing that surprised Ghea was that Inez did not wear excessive powder, her lips looked naturally red without any lipstick. Very unlike the usual Inez.

"Nez, wake up!" Ghea didn't give up yet. She patted Inez's cheek a little harder than before. Instead of waking up as Ghea expected, Inez changed her head position.

"You're so annoying." Ghea grumbled. Not out of ideas, the girl with round eyes shook her best friend's body. "Come on, Nez, wake up, you'll regret it if you don't wake up. There's big news that you need to know."

"Noisy!" Inez shouted quite loudly while rubbing her ears.

"Okay, you asked for it!" said Ghea. She then got up from her seat and straightened her uniform for a moment. She looked back at Inez, who was sleeping. "Are you sure you don't want to come with me?"

There was no answer from Inez, so Ghea immediately deduced her own answer. She nodded firmly and pressed her lips together. "Okay, I'm going out to join the others, I don't care if you're alone in class. Bye!"

Ghea rushed out of the classroom to catch up with her classmates-especially the girls-who were gathered around screaming hysterically. Ghea was also curious about the others.

"Where are you!" Ghea, whose body was fairly small, immediately squeezed into the crowd. "How handsome is that boy?"

Ghea had managed to interrupt, and was now standing at the front. The girl stared ahead, fixing the position of her slumped glasses, then glared and smothered her mouth. Her breath caught for a moment.

"What? Seriously, that's the new student?" Ghea blinked in disbelief. Her smile widened. "No wonder everyone is hysterical, he's so handsome and cute!"

Ghea's gaze couldn't miss a boy who was walking slowly while looking around with a confused look in his eyes. Of course he was confused, being stared at by all the students made him feel awkward.

"I'm melting!"

"Damn, that boy is so handsome, I want to be his mistress too!"

"Does he have a girlfriend yet?"

"I think he's single."

Ghea looked at each of her classmates, who were screaming hysterically. Ghea smiled and looked back at the new student. "I'm not a hypocrite, I want to be his girlfriend too!" At the end of her sentence, Ghea giggled a little. Even though it was impossible to get that super handsome boy, it couldn't hurt, right?

"Inez, you'll regret not seeing this scene," Ghea muttered.

"What view?"

Ghea blinked her eyes, her head immediately moving to the left side when a familiar voice spoke up. Ghea's eyeballs almost popped out when Inez stood next to her with her arms crossed.

"Inez?" said Ghea. "Why are you suddenly here?"

One of Inez's eyebrows rose up, and she glared at Ghea uncomprehendingly. Inez let out a short breath. "You were so loud in class, I couldn't go back to sleep. What were you talking about? Why am I sorry?"

"Look at the front!" With a gesture of her chin, Ghea pointed at the boy. Inez frowned, then followed Ghea's gaze.

Inez's lopsided smile appeared at once. "New target."
