FRIENDSTHAT
Episode 8
“Happy to share many things with lo.”
July 2005
This new school year is a new school year that Ayu passed again with Ditto. Ayu recalls, three years ago she met Ditto in one class and then actually became a best friend for three years. At the moment, they are like repeating the same time even though many things are different.
Like seniors who look more mature than they are. Or SMA activities that impressed ‘baru’ for those who have just graduated SMP.
Lucky for them because they can do one school. Of the three SMA options that since the beginning of the third class they have chosen, they finally both managed to enter SMA 82 Jakarta.
If they met in Junior High because of one group in MOS, when MOS this time they were different groups. So they only really met again at school. Because when they go to school they are already dizzy with the sometimes annoying MOS activities.
“Finally, the MOS was done,” grumbled Ayu when they finally ate together on the last day of MOS. “Official Udah now we are a High School boy.”
“Finally yes, I'm not groomed again the same senior-senior.” Ditto grumbled. “Eh, you saw the class division, right?”
“Udah. I'm in grade 1-3. Lo?”
“Yes, not class,” says Ditto. “Gue on 1-5.”
“Hopefully I do not meet again children as hard as elo,” said Ayu made as serious as possible. “Gue want to treat ah at this SMA. Don't want to be as stubborn as you first.”
“Oh, according to lo, I make you be stubborn?”
“Lha, who often ngajakin truant who?” Ayu tuding. “Heh, Ugly, who used to chat right in class until reprimanded by whose teacher? Yes elo.”
“Lo also want to be invited to skip.”
“Ya, invited,” kilah Ayu do not want to lose.
“Asem lo, Cha!”
After accusing each other and it was unclear who was wrong, the two of them just laughed. Reminds me of how their friendship has been in the last three years.
Sitting with Ditto for three years made Ayu have become accustomed to his presence. He was always with Ditto in class, on the futsal court, in the band's studio, on the tournament stage…. All of that has made him get used to the presence of the rancid guy.
When they find out that they are in High School, Ayu and Ditto are happy not to be trapped. Ditto was already planning on trying to skip Ayu. Ayu had planned to always watch Ditto's performance if the guy entered the school band.
But when the two knew they were in different classes, there was a hint of disappointment in the corner of Ayu's heart. But he managed to hide it well. Ditto's the only one who doesn't know that.

SMA is very different from SMP. Just first class, the subjects are already more dizzy. Not to mention with the majors ahead of the second grade later. This automatically makes Ayu and Ditto more seized time for academic affairs.
Obviously, if there was a break time they did not confiscate to do the task, the two must have walked together immediately. Either play basketball on the court or just eat chicken noodles in the cafeteria.
“Lo already know what to enter?” Ditto asked while stirring up her new-coming chicken noodles.
“No idea, now just every time you go home from school immediately unplug.”
Ditto nodded in understanding. Ayu's schedule is getting denser every day. Almost every time I go home from school, Ayu always goes straight away. Either for filming or shooting.
“Lo definitely want to enter the school band?” guess Ayu.
“Iya, dong. I'm cool, so they instantly accept me.”
“Narsis abis,” ledek Ayu while throwing used tissue to Ditto. “Padal is not necessarily accepted. School band kids here are all seniors.”
“That's a fact, Cha.”
“So much, Jeleeek.”
“Later if I play you have to watch yes,” babble Ditto. “During this time you keep the same stage I, have never seen my charm if you are in the audience position, right?”
Ayu immediately pretended to vomit and Ditto laughed out loud. Invite the attention of most of the other girls in the cafeteria. When he realized that someone was really looking at him, Ditto threw a smile. Make the girls immediately return his smile with enthusiasm. Some even waved to him.
“Ampun deh, Ditto. Not even a semester, has spread the charm to three classes at once,” mock Ayu when he saw the behavior of his best friend.
“Gue will try friendly,” bela Ditto. He scrambled his long ram-but, almost about ear— the limits set by the school.
If Ditto keep growing his hair, of course the teachers will race to cut his hair on the basis of discipline.
“That's your hair cut, gih,” told Ayu when he realized that Ditto's hair was almost past the limit set by the school. “Cutted teacher BP mampus lo.”
Ditto glares. Usually, BP teachers will cut the hair of students with untidy and tend to fall apart that can make shame all day. “Have, my hair is one of the factors that make girls have a crush on me.”
“Pala lo.”
Ditto laughed with Ayu. “Totally. You can't see how cool I am for other girls.”
Ayu just shook her head while muttering, “Basic sableng lo, To.”
