AN ATHAYA?

9-So Classmate

As he walked, many students who paid attention to him did not even hesitate from those who looked directly from behind the classroom window even though the lesson hours were ongoing

Athaya understood that it was the usual gaze of a student when there was a new student who first came to his school, because in the past also when he had just moved in Semarang people also saw him so, he said, it was just that their gazes and whispers were different

In Semarang, Athaya had heard some of them talking about Athaya's physicality, but people there did not care much about this for a long time, it did not take long for him to quickly socialize

But this morning, when the headmaster immediately intervened to take him to class 11 IPA 2, some of them even praised Athaya either because of physical condition or even other pride, known as 'the only student selected as a student exchange participant'

"They? Whose April replacement is it?" tanya Dance with a whisper

"Why?"

"Yes means there's a new kid dong, right April from this class. So, the new guy's here too"

"No idea who knows who was put in another class, in one IPA maybe"

The mangosteen dance after Ivana finished her sentence, then re-wrote the material from the blackboard

"But, Va. Are you not the same as Anin? who likes to tease me first"

"Inget, the child is not rumpong so the time of the event yesterday I say no"

Dance leaned her shoulders quietly in the wheelchair, never mind! why is he thinking about that drop-in mom, making the brain blunt

"Content? any problems?"

The daydream was up when suddenly Bu Eni called her, with a reflex movement Tari straightened her body and replied that nothing happened

"Focus Mentari, if there is a problem to solve later, yes, it's time we learn. Let's focus all"

Ivana rolled her eyeballs, for Bu Eni was being kind, the teacher was indeed notoriously firm, you could have joked or relaxed but there was a time

If usually friends can lean his back on the chair then if Bu Eni is automatically not allowed, during the lesson hours no one should leave the class

Especially when you sleep, don't try! or you will be devoured raw and this incident will always be discussed until next month

In the middle of the lesson someone knocked on the door from the outside of the class, then with his jutek Bu Eni went over to make the children in the class can stretch the muscles even if only a few seconds

"Yes, chief?"

Iva slightly glanced outwards, it seemed like the teacher was having a short conversation with the principal. Half a minute passed and their conversation stopped to get the teacher back into the classroom and make the students straighten their backs

But there was something different, Iva thinned her eyes to see a guy who was following Bu Eni when she started entering the class

Bu Eni's eyes sharply follow the direction of the student's view, no doubt this new child has stolen their attention then with a firm voice, no doubt, the teacher immediately opened his voice to introduce who this guy beside him was

And did Ivana not look wrong? isn't that Athaya? the guy he met at the reunion yesterday

And when Athaya started to notice it, he didn't take a single look at the bench on their table. As the two friends looked at him with shady gazes, Athaya remembered...

The girl with such shoulder-length hair is Ivana, and the other is a wheelchair-bound disabled girl who became her second best friend after Iva, Mentari by name

And he had already met the shoulder-length hair yesterday, his gaze loosened when this teacher beside him suddenly spoke

"Include yourself,"

Athaya smiled at a glance and looked at his prospective friends one by one

"I am Athaya Richard, student exchange participant from Semarang High School, hopefully we can be good friends in the future. Thank you,"

Ivana feels a touch on her arm, it seems that her best friend is also aware of the silly things that lately often perch in Ivana's mind

"Gue I've seen him"

"He's Athaya temen we fit SMP first, Tar"

"No, Va. Athaya is not a gini"

"Yes he's Athaya, his name is the same 'Athaya Richard' our class neighbor used to be, and yesterday at the event I also met him,"

"Seriously?"

"What am I lying to?"

"That means he-"

Dance mouth open and form the letter O perfect, even Dance almost did not believe it, Ivana again busy herself that is taking notes material from the blackboard

So from now on she is Iva's classmate.

"Athaya's sitting next to Arya huh?" bu Eni said slowly

Arya held out her hand, after asking the teacher for permission to sit down Athaya started walking past her chair

He had put the paper secretly to make Iva look back to make sure he was not mistaken target

"Hi Athaya, I'm Gina."

"My name is Natalia"

"She is very handsome, if this is my mah willing to go to school every day"

The sound of the students made Bu Eni turn his head and a little sleepy whiteboard, so the condition was back conducive. The seat of the bench sat Athaya only one bench, Iva turned back to the front— again noticed the explanation of Bu Eni in front

When the normal atmosphere he began to open the paper plan that Athaya left earlier, very slowly until no one realized

When the paper was successfully opened, Ivana blinked once and then ventured back to look back where Athaya was sitting. When the netra of the two met Athaya raised her chin a little greeting sign then the next split second smiled warmly

Ivana turned back to face the front and put the paper in her uniform pocket, writing again

This is what 'may we meet again' means?

Surprises! Ivanaa

...--...

Ever since Athaya came this morning, Ivana's mood was so unsettled, she suddenly felt embarrassed by the events of a few years ago, it felt like her chest was pounding abnormally and her hands were always sweating coldly

Especially when the lesson time changed to the break time earlier Athaya looked at him with a look of intimidation, ah! the boy was unsettling, so he did not have an appetite and chose to go to the canteen to buy his own water, because the dance was also nitip

The break time earlier he was immediately mobbed by girls from the classroom and different classes, and that's why the boys immediately take him to the cafeteria to prevent things that are not comfortable especially Athaya new child

"Aqua dua ma'am?" Ivana started ordering

"Tumben is not the same as dancing to eat pop noodles here" said mbak Ratih

"Yes mbak, once want to stop eating noodles, not healthy," he lied

"Well if so mbak have a solution so that mbak Dance same mbak Iva still full her stomach. No, there's a whole wheat bread that's native to Australia, directly imported from abroad,"

"No, I'm no longer a lager"

"That's what Ivana's mbak isn't laper, but what about Dance? what if he's laper?"

Also true! Maybe Dance again laper but because it's not good with Iva he didn't dare to say make more!

"Well, I bought two, right?"

"Well! mbak Ivana is a really good friend, Monggo mbak"

After paying Ivana straight back to class, as she passed the cafeteria tables she saw Athaya being surrounded by her classmates and even her classmates

"Are there even upperclassmen?" Ivana asked herself. For anything! This Athaya is different from the old Athaya, if he was a shy person and always avoided the crowd, then the Athaya who is now so adaptable and friendly

...--...

Earlier this morning when he was going to school, Iqbal had told him that he would be introduced to someone, but until this second break there was no sign of the presence of the person

And he himself did not really bother about it because honestly he really wanted to talk to Ivana. Yep! that person never even greeted him when he first entered this school, as if he and Iva had never known

Mentally yes? did I talk about it yesterday?

Athaya begins to remember the events of yesterday when she met Iva, she talked a lot but when here she became silent a thousand languages

Athaya leaned her back, her eyes were looking forward watching the figure of Ivana and Tari carefully, their friendship was very durable, from her time she approached Iva first until now, that's what made Athaya fall in love with Iva, simple, kind, and friends with anyone
