Chapter 134 - Engagement~?

Dave and Rey walked back to class. Along the way, Rey kept smiling to himself. Neither Dave nor the people who saw him cared about it, but they also already know how ridiculous Rey can be.

Rey's crazy demeanor was common. If Rey acted casual, that would be weird.

When Dave was at the door to the classroom, all the students in class X-Social Science-3 looked at Dave with hopeful eyes, as well as at Rey. Dave frowned, "Why?"

"I'm sure, our class will win lots of champions."

"Of course. Who are you talking about? It's Dave, you know! The one and only Dave!"

The talk about Dave continued. Dave also walked over to Jean, who was still writing something on the list of names of students who would be participating in the competition between classes.

When he saw the paper, Dave rounded his eyes. His name is in almost all sports that will be competed. Even in several branches of academic competitions such as mathematics quiz and also competition for the four pillars of nationality.

"Do you have a grudge against me?"

Jean turned and smiled to see Dave was back. "Huh? Why should I have a grudge against you? Didn't you say that I can take you in any match? That's why I wrote your name in all competitions."

Dave took over the board containing the list of names of the students who were going to compete in class meetings from Jean's hand and also took a pen. When finished, Dave returned it to Jean.

Jean looked at the paper, "Basketball, and MMA. That's all? But you are good at baseball ... What about the Math competition? The four pillars of nationality competition too, it seems that among all the students in the class, you are the one who knows the contents of the most; The 1945 Constitution, all four amendments, the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia-United, you also memorized all the Provisional Laws of 1950… Why did you only choose these two? "

Dave did not comment on that and chose to return to his chair and rested his head on the table while putting a pair of headsets over his ears.

"Hmm ... Fine. If that's the case, Dave will take part in the 3 on 3 basketball competition and also the MMA competition, Rey and Aldy in basketball with Dave. For those who take part in the volleyball competition is me, Dita ..." after mentioning everything, there are still one branch of competition that has not been filled. "Poetry, who wants to take part in this competition?"

Of the many students in the class, only one person raised his hand up high. "I want! Please choose me!"

All the students who heard the voice shuddered in horror and carefully turned their gaze towards the source of the sound.

Rey, he is the one who volunteered to take part in the poetry competition.

Jean frowned, "Are you sure?"

"Of course, leave it to me!" Rey said, smiling broadly. Jean also wrote Rey's name on the list of students who will take part in the poetry competition at the upcoming class meeting.

"Okay, since everything is complete, and we have three days before the competition days begin, I hope you can prepare yourself as well as possible. Remember, you don't need to push yourself, you will get tired before the competition. And you don't have to think of this as a burden. Because, with all of you who are already willing to participate, I already feel happy. "

Jean showed off her smile, the best smile could only make everyone fall in love with her. After cheering for their class, all the students in the class started thinking about what they would do.

Not a few even discussed other branches of competition that they did not participate in, because there is one competition branch that interests them, and that is the MMA competition.

According to the information they heard, the MMA competition had only been held for about three years at the Briston Gal Private High School, and the defending champion was Thoriq Gunawan, the third grader who was the topic of conversation for Dave and Rey when the two of them were enjoying nicotine smoke together in the warehouse earlier.

From the time that Thoriq was still in the first grade, he had beaten his seniors in the second and third grades. Last year he also defended his title as MMA champion at the Briston Gal Private High School.

But it looks like this year there will be a big surprise, and the people who are most confident that this year Thoriq will not be able to defend his title are Rey, Dita and also Jean. The three of them were the people who had seen how Dave fight with their own eyes.

Jean approached his friends who were going to participate in volleyball with him. "Indri, have you contacted your brother?"

"Yes, I already called him. He said he could train us this afternoon." answered Indri, the person who also held the position of treasurer of the class. Although Indri's older brother is not a professional volleyball athlete, his ability is arguably quite reliable, and he also knows how to train. "He has also prepared the place, not far from my house. I'll send you the location via Line."

Next to Dave, who still rested his head on the table, Rey and Aldi sat close together. "Rey, don't we have to find one more person to fill the bench?"

"No need for that. If you're getting tired, just rest on the sidelines. Let Dave and me take care of the rest."

Aldy nodded his head, not wanting to argue with Rey's statement, who had already shown his basketball playing skills with Dave. In fact, according to Aldy, even without him, Rey and Dave could easily win the 3 on 3 basketball competition at the Class Meeting event later.

"Then, when can we practice? I'll ask my dad to find us a basketball coach. He has connections with Indonesian Basketball Association. How about this afternoon?"

Rey patted Aldy on the shoulder. "Looks like it can't be done this afternoon. What about tomorrow? Dave and I have some business we need to do."

"Okay, call me whenever you have free time."

Aldi stood up, "Then, I'll go first. Bye Dave."

"Aren't you going to say 'Bye' to me too?" Rey protested with his face made as cute as possible which only made Aldy feel goosebumps. Aldy also accelerated his steps away from crazy people like Rey.

***

School was over. All day having empty class hours was quite boring for Dave. In the parking area, someone is waiting for Dave on his motorbike. That person is Thoriq.

"Someone said that you wanted to talk to me about the mass fight between school gangs?"

Jean, who heard that, immediately looked at Dave with a look of displeasure. "Dave, are you going to fight again?"

"There are several school gangs that joined forces to attack here." Dave said to Jean.

"Huh? I don't want you to get involved with something like that! I won't allow you!"

Dave stared flatly at Thoriq. "Do you really have to say something like that in front of Jean?"

Thoriq only shrugged his shoulders briefly as if he didn't care. Meanwhile, Jean continued to grab Dave's arm. "Dave, if you still love me, you can't get into the fights between the school gangs."

The veins in Dave's head began to twitch because Thoriq told this to Jean. Dave is confused about how to explain this so that Jean understands his situation right now.

Dave finally chose to make an excuse. "Jean, you know I want to take part in the MMA competition in class meetings, while there is a school gang that wants to attack here, I might as well make them as training materials."

"Oh, so you're going to the MMA competition later?" said Thoriq, but he was not surprised if someone like Dave would be attracted to the competition, which is an activity of physical-fighting agility.

Dave turned to Thoriq with an annoyed gaze. "Just shut your fuck up for a bit."

Again Thoriq only shrugged his shoulders briefly.

"But still, I won't allow you to do that."

Dave knew that excuse sounded ridiculous, but he had no other reason in his head at this point. Dave also looked into Jean's eyes deeply. "Please understand my situation, just for this time. I beg you."

"Still not! If you still insist on joining the brawl, you have to take me too!"

Thoriq seemed to be trying to hold back his laughter when Jean said that. Dave, who was out of his mind, finally had no other choice. "Okay, you can come, but you have to listen to whatever I say."

"Huh? How come I was invited to join you in the fight? I'm a girl! Besides, I can't fight either!"

Dave ruffled his hair in annoyance, while Thoriq could no longer hold back his laughter.

"Fine. If you let me just this time, you can ask whatever you want."

Jean was silent for a moment. The girl had never heard Dave say that. But now, everything was different. Because now, Dave said that he would grant whatever Jean asked.

From the start of Jean dating Dave, Jean never expected anything from Dave. Just being with him was immeasurable happiness for her.

"If I let you join the brawl just this once ... I want ... We're engaged."

"Okay, we're getting engaged. Now I'll take you home, okay?"

Thoriq also burst out laughing. "Fuck this bullshit! Is this even fucking real? I mean, Dave, so your intention to get engaged is just to be allowed to join the fight between school gang?"

"Can you just shut your fuck up? Or you want me to cut your fucking tongue right now?"

And that's how Dave and Jean will get engaged.
