Four Strands: The State Children

03. SOMEBODY

My second day as a High School student, I hope to blend in with the others, I don't want my precious High School days to be spent alone. Today I have to do my best.

It seems I came too early, my classroom door is still locked. I don't care if I have to wait until the school guard opens the class, but the biggest problem right now is next to me. There are women who are also waiting.

I know him, if his name is Azahra, he is our class treasurer. I was really surprised, I guess, I will be the first student to come, apparently there are still other students who are more diligent than me.

Although I can't guess the purpose he came for early, whether it's the same as me to create territory, or well another reason that I never thought of.

To be sure, the atmosphere I was feeling right now was really awkward. You guys must understand how I feel right now. I knew his name but I did not recognize him, which made me decide to refrain from greeting him and prefer to remain silent pretending not to be aware of anything.

Me and him who was silent wrapped in a quiet atmosphere in the morning, made me remember my past when Junior High, precisely when I was in 8th grade. Every morning while sitting in front of the class waiting for the school guard to open the lock, I waited for him along with the same girl.

At first we were silent, without saying a word, but at the end of semester one, we started chatting with each other. The morning time we spent waiting for the school guard was only about 15 minutes, but for me, 15 minutes was the time I was most looking forward to each morning.

Deep in my thoughts, I was immediately awakened by the voice of someone quite loud, apparently a woman who greeted Azahra from a considerable distance. The woman then approached Azahra and talked about something.

Since our position was quite close perhaps between me and them about three meters away, I tried to heed their conversation which I could very clearly hear.

At least that woman who did not seem to be from my class, managed to save me from this awkward situation, I thanked in my heart even in addition I thanked in various languages.

I don't know how long I've been immersed in the memories of the past, which is clear I've seen school guards come to open first class one by one. Not to forget I also thanked the school guard for opening the classroom door and also for ending this awkward atmosphere.

I still chose to sit in the same position as yesterday, even though I don't know if Ali will still sit next to me, well at least I should prepare myself to sit down by myself.

...

Approaching 7 o'clock the class atmosphere was getting ramay, Before long the sound of the bell was heard, then I saw Ali coming and it was very surprising that he remained sitting next to me, thank goodness I didn't end up sitting alone in class.

After waiting for some time, not a single teacher has entered the class yet, well plus we have not received the lesson and book schedule, so I think for one week this will end with free class.

I really like the free class but if there is not a single friend chatting what is enjoyed.

...

Farel yelled "Bro here we gather, everyone here, we chat in the back."

Farel then pointed to two men who were in the right row of the "Bro male class, right? here get together."

The two men followed and approached our company.

Right now all the men in my class are gathered together in the same place, with santay farrel saying "Bro we are already one class well, so we have to forget we are from Junior High where, uh, we have to compact and rame."

Kemal then replied to Farel's words "Again, let's meet again gini how if we talk santay."

In the end we all started getting closer bit by bit. The thing I always thought about from the beginning was very appropriate, it was easy for men to make friends with others.

To make a friendship, men do not collect similar pieces to make them one and ignore different pieces, but what men do is collect a variety of different pieces and make it one thing that makes friendship between men interesting and have a variety of types.

The group managed to get us all to spend some time off together, a great start to a newly made friendship.

Another result I got was that I could get closer to my friend Ali, this way we wouldn't be too awkward anymore.

On my second day, this gathering of men in class was the best thing that happened. After that unwittingly everything went so fast, even the sound of the second of the hour yesterday was heard so clearly this time it was not heard, until a bell and the same announcement as yesterday destroyed our togetherness.

...

While on the way home I remembered our chat earlier, a small talk, only telling a funny story that we had experienced first. Even though we're finally talking about "the nation-unifying video" I'm sure you know what I mean, if you don't know I suggest you keep looking.

This is a tip from me, if you are friends with men and you do not have a topic to chat use this universal topic that is to talk about "the unifying video of the nation". Based on my experience, it works well.

Speaking of my house, the distance between my house and school is not so far only about 30 minutes when you walk and when using the vehicle about 10 minutes.

Today I had good memories, so I wanted to enjoy it a little longer, so I decided to go home on foot.

Well. and when you experience something good, the feeling of wanting to tell it to someone churns within you. like I just finished watching an anime yesterday with an amazing ending, after that I talked about it in my Junior High group, but ended up with a monologue.

At a time like this, I needed someone to hear my story, while I thought that he would still be able to call.
