I woke up from my sleep hearing the sound of windows opening and curtains waving in the wind. I stood up and moved towards the window to close it, before I closed I saw nothing around, maybe just a strong wind that then opened the window that I had not closed before.

After I closed my window, I fell asleep again because the clock was 00:05 in the morning or midnight. I lay comfortably in my bed and went back to sleep so that when I woke up I did not miss going to school.

Almost every midnight I wake up to close my window somehow I don't know, but now I'm used to sleeping, waking up, closing the window and then sleeping again.

Sometimes I think that someone might sneak into my room, but since my room is on the second floor and every time I look out the window, I never find anything. I gave up on finding out and let it go, making it my routine.

I thought they had come. They were the ones Grandpa said a year ago before his departure and said they came to take 'my life'

I don't know what life means, because the word implied the meaning.But so far I'm fine and there's nothing strange in my life.

In the morning I say goodbye to my parents to go to school. I tightened my shoelaces and then shouted.

"I'm leaving."

"Wait a minute Rani, this is all you love to the new neighbors," said mamah then gave me a box of cakes that must be delicious.

"New neighbors?since when?" I stared at confused Mom.

"Semalem they moved, mamah baru sepet nyapa aja not give what," said mamah explained that mamah greeted them while watering flowers and happened to mamah meet the new neighbor.

"Salem?" ask me again, were they really moving out last night? when I woke up last night to close the window I didn't see anyone moving, or maybe it was mamah in the morning?

"Yes do not know last night do not know the early morning, you ask all while loving the cake," said mamah then told me to immediately give the cake as well as ask their arrival. I think mom already knows.

I also walked towards the neighboring house that stood firmly right beside my house. A house that has been uninhabited for a long time, until I thought this house might be haunted because it has been sold for a long time but no one wants to buy it. But now I throw away the thought, anyway now the house is inhabited, maybe yesterday has not been the windfall of the seller.

"Excuse me!" I shouted while looking around the house, it was still a mess of large cardboard boxes everywhere. His name is also a transfer person especially his transfer last night must be messy.

"Excuse me!"I yelled again, "are they still busy" I thought.

I went to get out of the house and give this box of cookies back to mamah, and anytime I come here again because it looks like they are busy to clean up the house.

A second after I turned around, a middle-aged woman called out to me, "Hey where are you going?"

I turned back and saw a middle-aged woman smiling at me.

"This is a aunt cake from mamah," I said then give a box of the cake and the aunt gladly received it.

"Ohh ngerepotin so his, Oh yes sorry yes a little long ago understand the new person moved," said the Aunt again smiling kindly. Looks like this new neighbor is a good person.

"That's okay Auntie," I said with a smile.

The aunt looked at me from top to bottom, is there something wrong with my uniform?

"You went to first-star High School?" ask the aunt after seeing my alma mater logo.

"I-iya aunty," I replied doubtful how this aunt knows my alma mater logo when she just moved.

"What class are you in?" ask her again.

"Class..12 Aunt," I replied again.

"Whose name?"

"Rani," I replied.

He smiled at me again and rubbed my hair and said, "Oh yes call him don't Aunty doang call me a Aunt Hera."

I also nodded in a sign of understanding.

"Oh yes Auntie's child also went to school there in the 12th grade and he was a new student" he explained a little about his son. And I don't know his son's boy or girl. I hope she's a girl because I haven't had a female neighbor my age for a long time.

"You want to go with him, he doesn't know the way to his new school yet."

"May my aunt also bring a motorcycle to school, together," I replied while hoping that the child of Aunt Hera was a girl.

"Ehhh no need for you to be with him, just a minute Auntie call him first," said Aunt Hera then entered her house and she shouted calling her son's name.

"RANGGA," she shouted. If her name was Rangga she would not be a woman but it could have been Ranggaeni and that was a woman's name. I keep hoping so.

Then Aunt Hera came out with a tall man carrying a carry-on bag with the loss of hope I had a female neighbor of my age.

He said he was a new student but why did he wear the same uniform with the same logo as me, and his school vest was the same. I looked at him confused.

"This ladder Rani you go with him yes," asked Aunt Hera to Rangga. Rangga kissed Aunt Hera's hand and I followed her. Aunt Hera went back into the house and left us both

"Yes mah," answered Rangga then looking at me who was still staring at him in confusion.

"Why do you see me so much?" she asked, I realized that I was looking at her excessively.

"The variety....have you got?" I asked while pointing at the uniform Rangga was wearing.

"Older, just now just go to school all the new school year," he said looking at me coldly.

"Oh okay."

***

I sat comfortably on my stool after driving Rangga to the headmaster's room to ask which class he would stay in but I hurried to class because my business to take him was done without having to know which class he will be in.

Arriving from outside the classroom someone ran up to me, and with a confused look I kept watching.

"RANIIIIIII," Nina shouted as she ran up to me, yes she is my best friend Nina and she is my closest person in the class.

"What's the matter" I asked confusedly, why did he have to run to class and why did his face look so shocked?.

"So that new kid's Lo's girlfriend huh?" suddenly Nina said senselessly, what does Nina mean by Rangga?

"No, I don't have a boyfriend" I answered frankly, I didn't have a girlfriend before.

"Lo lied, Lo said that Lo's boyfriend would be the new kid here" Nina told me.

"When?"

"Yesterday via Chat."
