Jihan's question yesterday, still ringing in Arin's ear. If it was true that the upperclassman liked him, what would he do? This is the first time men have liked it. Because all this time he just liked, but not liked. For Arin, just liking someone is really fun. Because I can feel great sensations. His heart was pounding, his eyes were sparkling when he saw the man he liked, and a smile that was suddenly etched from his lips. How does it feel if later the liked person likes it. Wouldn't that make Arin happier?
Arin lay his head on the classroom table after completing the task, the last lesson this time was filled with light assignments from teachers who were meeting permits. The woman closed her eyes, intending to sleep, but the noise from outside the classroom made Arin straighten up and ask Indira what was going on out there.
"What the hell is it, Nit? Very good rame."
"Noh, on the lookout for Ezra's brother playing basketball. Be normal," replied Nita, who focuses on playing games on her phone. Jihan fell asleep on her own lap.
"Ohh.." Arin was about to lay his head down again, but someone patted him on the shoulder so he wouldn't go on sleeping.
"Don't see Danis maen basketball?" His whisper.
Arin turned and it turned out to be Haikal. He smiled mischievously as he pointed outwards with his chin. The woman even told Haikal to leave, because if serving him, he would come back ignorant like when Junior High.
"Awas niesel, he's cool. Don't wear a hat, "Bisik Haikal again, then leave Arin out of class. Luckily Indira did not realize because of the focus on the game.
Hearing the notification from Haikal just now, Arin became curious, because Danis rarely opened her hat. He still wears a hat. It was just that he was going to replace his Eminem hat with a white grey hat symbolizing tutwuri.
Arin's body moved, he stood up to check the truth of Haikal's words, because indeed his class was right in front of the basketball court. His feet stepped towards the doorway of the classroom. From behind the door, he peeked at a group of students scrambling for basketballs under the hot sun.
As Haikal said, Danis took off her hat. His face looked fresh with sweat pouring out, thick black hair drenched in sweat. As well as the black combination red basketball costume worn, making it even more dazzling for Arin.
"Who's geliat?"
Arin was shocked when Nita patted him on the shoulder from behind. He stood up straight, looking for an excuse for his friend's question.
"Nyari Kiki with Risa. He was ready to go to the bathroom. Where are the boy duo?"
Nita pointed to the horde of students who were shouting the name 'Ezra' from the sidelines. "No, sono."
"I called them first, that brother to the cafeteria. You go first with Jihan, and I'm with the others" said Arin.
Nita nodded, then returned to her stool to take the wallet from her bag. While Arin walked up to his two friends.
"Duh, wrestling. Very handsome yo mas Ezra." Kiki Seru.
"TAKE ME TO THE APPLICANT MAS, TAKE ME!" Risa's cry was much more frenzied than Kiki's.
Arin shook his head, looking at the purity of the two friends. Since he was not strong with the hot weather, he dragged his two friends away from the field until in front of his shady class.
"What the hell is Rin, disturb ae. I'm going to watch the priest play basketball" Ketus Risa.
"So go to the cafeteria, go to the bathroom. Ngebucin. Let's go to the canteen. Indira same Jihan wait there."
"What's new soon? Ezra's sister is cool, Rin," Kiki refused.
"Yes, that's me first. Later," said Arin.
Risa and Kiki nodded, then ran towards the female line on the sidelines. Arin again shook his head in wonder, seeing his two friends who were so fond of Ezra. He is handsome, but during the first meeting in extracurricular journalism, Arin did not feel the excitement like the two friends. Maybe because he was doctored to admire one man only.

The bell rang, and all the disciples rushed home. Most of Class X was empty, as they had already walked towards the gate. Arin's first class was empty, because there was no teacher at the last hour. So as soon as the bell rang, the whole class of Arin rushed out while exclaiming with pleasure.
All of Arin's friends say goodbye one by one to go home first. However, Arin stepped towards the backmost class which was located quite far away. Well, so lately she decided she would always go home with her cousin's sister, Lia. By foot, or by public transport.
"Rin's old brother?" Ask Lia who just came out with a pink floral backpack, with a patrick star-shaped toy hanging from her bag.
"No, Ma'am. Just now" replied Arin.
Lia flank Arin's arm and walked together away from the classroom. Today they decided to just walk, because he said it was a pity that the rest of his pocket money was made for freight. They are willing to walk until the house is located quite far away, collect the remaining allowance to buy patrick star and spongebob merchandise.
Yes, so Arin is a spongebob lover. Every episode aired on television he never missed. Until he memorized several sentences that were spoken sepongebob in each episode. Lia likes the patrick star character. They sometimes watch together in the morning before leaving for school, because their homes are facing each other.
The sweat soaked Arin's white-gray uniform as soon as she reached her home. He put his bag on the sofa in the middle room after taking off his shoes outside the house and gave greetings and kissed his mother's hand. He immediately turned on the television as the clock showed spongebob airtime.
"Change clothes first, Ma'am. Dateng-dateng live tv." Said the mother, who was sweeping the middle room.
"But, wait for the hehe ad." Answer Arin.
"What time are you going to be excused, Mother?"
"Oh yes, now exkul. Good thing Ibuk ngingetin. It's still half four, why?"
"Gapapa, I'll come out. You bring the key too, I'm afraid I'll come home from the mallem."
"Where are you going, Buk? Adek's coming too?"
"Condition, Ma'am Same Dad. Yes come along."
"Oh, yes it's Buk." Replied Arin who continued watching his favorite show.
Time passed, because of the fun of watching spongebob Arin jump from the sofa to immediately clean up because the clock has shown at 15:10. With lightning fast, he was getting ready to rush to school again.
Finished preparing, he stepped towards Lia's house after saying goodbye to his mother. Lia also rushed over, turning on her brother's motorbike which she had borrowed to go to school.
As it was almost too late, Lia accelerated the pace of her vehicle. Within 10 minutes, they arrived at the motorcycle parking lot near the basketball court.
Arin's eyes caught the figure of the man who always dominated his heart. Danists. He was seen laughing with his basketball friends, the man was sitting on a spoonful, with a glass of a drink bottle he held in the middle of the court. Arin's smile was engraved as if his laughter was contagious to him.
"Rin let's go down" Tell Lia.
"O-oh, Yes, Ma'am." Arinpun got off the motorbike and went straight to the private room belonging to journalistic members. While Lia went to the cafeteria because she would meet her friend first.
Just as Arin was about to enter the room, someone seemed to run up to him. "Arin," Call her as she approaches.
Arin stopped, waiting for my man to approach her. The man was holding both knees, his breathing was also slightly stinged. "Rin," Call him, one more time.
"Yes?"
"May I have the phone number?"
