The beginning of August is a new beginning for all educational units as they enter a new school year. A class increase or move to a higher level of education. All schools will do the same thing, namely, welcoming the arrival of new students without exception .....
The atmosphere in front of the school was quite crowded, some are escorted by their parents to the school gate by giving a small kiss to their children who will go to school or come alone without being flattened by anyone aka ride in public transportation. That does not mean he is not the favorite child of his parents but maybe they are embarrassed if they are delivered by both parents because they are no longer elementary school students but have become final school students.
...🏫🏫🏫...
A girl named Aileen he was ushered in both his parents, his father who waited and noticed from a distance his son who was ushered to the front of the school gate by his mother. Even Aileen was still so embarrassed to get into a new school that she should no longer have the shyness in her teenage years like now.
Until finally the sound of the bell was heard which required all students to enter the school, with a heavy heart Aileen stepped her feet into the new school district. The way down the thing Aileen did, until finally someone touched her right shoulder and she reflexively looked.
"New kids too"
Aileen simply nodded while trying to stare at the girl who had just invited her to speak.
"Bareng ya entry, I'm also a new kid"
"My name is Arunika, call me Aruna"
"I'm Aileen"
They shook hands after that walk into the school, there was no more anxiety in Aileen's heart.
All new students are placed in a school hall, where all students gather there accompanied by members of the osis who will help the teacher to introduce the school environment to his underclassmen.
The orientation period at this school is different from other schools, where almost two weeks because the school provides basic leadership training for all new students who enter the school......
The whole set of orientation activities goes according to the plan expected by the school. All new students follow the entire series of activities from morning at 7 am to 3 pm.
"Aileen, want to snack in the cafeteria? "
Aruna asked Aileen who was sitting next to her stool. Aileen took out her provisions from inside the bag,
"I'm ready to be a snack first"
"I went to the cafeteria myself"
Aileen simply nodded, watching Aruna who was leaving the classroom leisurely. There were only a few students who did not come out of the hall due to carrying supplies like Aileen did, but one student who was silent sat without a box of supplies.
The girl was right in front of Aileen. Aileen tried to remember the girl's name, to just make small talk. Aileen felt impolite if she ate without permission while the people near her were sitting quietly.
"Safellyn"
The girl who felt called by her name immediately looked towards the source of the voice.
"Ih~ calls him Tyas"
Aileen felt embarrassed and apologized to Tyas, because Tyas' whining Aileen let out a slight chuckle.
"Tyas why go to the cafeteria? "
"My wallet missed, I didn't bring any money" Tyas lamented.
"You want me to lend you some money".
Aileen was about to retrieve the wallet that was inside her bag but was prevented by Tyas.
"Geep, Aileen"
Tyas did not feel hungry at lunch or feel bad if he borrowed money from his friend. But Tyas hoped that Aileen would give him the money and not have to give it back.
"Why? Then eat with me yuk"
BINGO!!!
This was what Tyas expected, getting free food, a full stomach without having to borrow and return money.
"What the hell is this? "
Tyas asked the pleasantries answered by Aileen innocently directly sharing her lunch equally.
Tyas immediately sat opposite Aileen, thanked her and ate her lunch with sparkling eyes.
Both are cool eating food and sometimes interspersed with small talk. Until finally they finish the meal, but Aruna has not returned from the canteen.
"She eats in the cafeteria"
Tyas just nodded, before long came Aditya and one of his colleagues. New students only know the figure of Aditya because he is the upperclassman as well as a member of the osis.
All the students looked a little panicked, they thought if the break time was up and had to continue the series of orientation activities.
"Huwaaa is a lot of angktan now"
With a loud enough voice a young man with a very conspicuous face commented on the atmosphere within the hall. Why conspicuous? He's got a bule face at a local school like this that's for sure it's going to look the most different.
"Quiet is still a break" said Aditya while walking to follow his colleague who does not know what his name is.
Aileen gasped in shock as the young man sat right beside her, at Aruna's place.
Aditya sat on an empty bench next to Tyas. Both Tyas and Aileen only fell silent clumsy from feeling displeased with the upperclassman suddenly sitting next to them, while the two young men were chatting like they were in his barrel.
Aileen who was just bowed silently, prayed that they would move places to chat.
"Hey hey"
The young man seemed to have Aileen talking, hesitatingly Aileen looked at her head.
"This is a cave"
The young man's words made Aileen confused, what was his intention of suddenly saying that.
Tyas who was sitting in front of him also felt astonished glancing towards Aileen with a body gesture asked. Aileen shook her head slowly, gesturing if she also did not know what was going on.
"Jamal get out, get into class. It's been a break"
Before long the sound of the bell sounded, a marker if the break hour is finished. It was very appropriate with the new words thrown from the sausage master who had just entered the hall followed by the members of the sausage behind him.
From the outside, Aruna was walking casually into the hall, not the only student who was late to enter, but the only student among the male students.
He followed the steps of one of the students who walked gracefully. The girl occasionally turned towards the student in front of her with a look of wonder, why the boy in front of her was more graceful than she was the real woman.
After that, he sat back in the chair. "Where are you from ?? why is it too late ??" whisper Aileen.
"It takes almost half an hour of rest to get a bowl of boiled noodles" Aruna replied in a whisper as well.
"Sucks," grunted Aruna.
Hearing that, Aileen just shook her head and turned her eyes back to the front.
...🏫🏫🏫...
Now it was no longer the teacher of the builder who spoke, but the male student who was in the know of an osis chairman. Paras are close to national standards with a calm face. Dikta Bima, he introduced his name to his prospective underclassmen.
"Do you know everything, right ?" bima said at the end of his sentence after explaining some things that must be brought in the prospective younger siblings and some series of activities that will be done tomorrow.
The head of the osis showed a faint smile after hearing the simultaneous and compact answers from his prospective classmates.
"And no word too late yes," he reminded.
"If there are still late, fear you are in the same job with this big sister," Bima nudged the sausage members on her side.
"Later to sunbathe you guys," threatened one of the upperclassmen with eyebrows that he raised next door. The face of the jutek is inversely proportional to Bima who looks calm.
Some prospective students feel afraid, but not a few also feel that it is just a bluff of senior students.
After Bima told what to bring tomorrow, all orientation participants were allowed to go home, not a few of them who did not go home immediately.
Just like Aileen and Tyas did, they stopped by the adjoining mini market to just sit and use the wifi access available there. The reason they did not go home immediately because Aileen had not been picked up by her father and Tyas who did not feel at home if they had to linger at home.
"No friends talking" Tyas said.
For almost an hour they sat there accompanied by a snack that Aileen bought, Aileen's father finally came. The girl immediately said goodbye to Tyas, because it would be bad to let her father wait too long.
"I'm going home first huh" Aileen told Tyas.
Tyas just nodded while finishing the snack. After the event he got up from his seat and walked home. The distance from the school to the house is very close.
