Leticia Caroline Dascha's.

“ Ralin. ” greet Celine in the morning of the rain.

With her blue umbrella, she equalled Ralin's steps. Not greeting back, Ralin just smiled knot. They continued to walk towards the main building of the school. The rain followed their steps. The breezes clash each time they step from one tile to the next.

“ Brother Celine.. ” greet another student behind the silence.

A schoolgirl with a look like Celine in her Osis black suit greeted from behind them. He approached Celine quickly. Real quick. Even so fast, Ralin did not realize that now the student was under the same blue umbrella that Celine brought. A girl with a cute face with curly hair that decomposes along her elbow, skin that is as white as Celine's, who is, his large black eyeballs and sharp nose imply the true beauty he possesses.His full and deep gaze reminds us of the graceful, haughty figure of Cassandra Lee. The student stuck beside Celine who seemed not too happy with the presence of her figure. Celine glanced questioningly.

“ Leticia Caroline Dascha. ” said the student while smiling sweetly. Hands out as a sign of introduction to Ralin.

Not yet had time to return the handshake of the student who according to Ralin is the transfer student, Andra who had somehow come from which direction immediately grabbed Leticia's handshake from behind the back of Ralin. Meanwhile, Andra's other hand was immediately coiled on Ralin's shoulder as if Andra was now guarding Ralin from the figure of Leticia who came and entered Kenanga High School unexpectedly.

“ How are you, Leticia? ” That tone of voice sounded cold enough for a person he already knew.

“ Good. ” answer is centil.

“ Why are you here? ” Celine chiming. His gaze looked like he was deeply troubled half-dead faced with the behavior that Leticia showed.

“ Why? ” Leticia emphasizes her sentence and draws closer to Andra's jutek face. “ I went to school here, what's wrong?  ”

“ Should you be at home?! ”

“ No! ” assertively. “ Atlas can enter, I'm also in. ” Leticia threaten.

" Atlas? " ralin's turn to look at Leticia fixedly after hearing the name of her most mysterious friend mentioned. Especially after seeing the incident in the UKS room, where Atlas out shot as fast as the wind through the rear window in the UKS room.

" Yes... You know him, right? " answered Leticia. “ I think, it is better if I am here kok. ” he glanced at Andra with sparkling eyes. Implying so many challenges addressed to Andra. Andra responded annoyed with Leticia's stubbornness. He continued to try to keep Leticia's reach away from Ralin without caring about the figure of Ralin who was looking at him with annoyance.

“ But I'm not good at all. ” Ralin took off Andra's hand that was coiled around her shoulder. “ It feels stifling. ” For a moment staring rancidly, Ralin left the officials of the Osis.

“ Ooww... ” response Leticia patted Andra's shoulder. “ Kasian... ” She stared.

Not only Leticia, Andra's strange gaze also accompanied Ralin's steps towards the school's main building. Celine leaned on Nathan's shoulder who knew it was already standing with a black umbrella beside her.

“ So? She’s Alin? ” Leticia smiles happily.

Ever since their first meeting on the school's main street, Leticia had always tried to get close to Ralin. At first, their classes were different. Leticia is in class with Atlas who is in the opposite building. Even Leticia sat down with Atlas. Several times when Ralin looked towards the opposite class, Leticia always stared and sometimes threw a smile like Atlas used to when their gazes met. Whether it's a coincidence or not. And Atlas, whether since when he joined the management of Osis. In fact, he immediately became the core of Osis without a general election. Likewise with Leticia, the transfer student had even worn the official clothes of the Osis administrator on his first day of school.

Oddity after strangeness slowly occurs every day at Kenanga High School. Starting from the files in his class containing the names Atlas and Leticia from the beginning of the new school year. The change in the order of some classes and some students in certain classes that for all other students was like that from the beginning, but not with Ralin. His instincts are strong enough with the strange thing that recently happened to his school.

Ralin was sitting quietly on a long bench in the east corner of the school's main courtyard. He watched every traffic that happened around him. Paying attention to some corner of the school where the gathering of some students who suddenly formed a group and watching his existence. Making sure that nothing else has changed for him, Ralin tries to adjust to the existence of Leticia and Atlas who become one class with him.

As he remembered yesterday, Ralin still saw Atlas taking lessons in the opposite class with Leticia. But now, Atlas was sitting casually in front of the bench that was occupied by Ralin. Leticia herself was taking lessons beside Ralin as she was already used to the lessons given in this class. The management of Osis also listed the names of Leticia and Atlas who have been since the beginning of the new school year as official members. Though Leticia's transfer student who entered in the middle of this semester. One more thing that was realized by the change by Ralin was who the figure who was now in the opposite class.

Ralin. Yesterday's class was still an IPA-X class, now an IPA-XII class. On the bench where Ralin should have met face to face with Atlas, now on the bench sat Andra, the vice chairman of Osis. The figure that currently looks fixated towards the front, but not so with his mind. His eyes looked as if they were not in the classroom. Seen occasionally he plays a ballpoint pen in his hand. Ralin was still looking across.

“ One... two. ” Ralin counting slowly. “ Gets. ” and points towards Andra across there.

Right on the count of three, Andra turned slowly towards Ralin. He stared meaningfully as his gaze with Ralin's eyes met. Seconds pass. Time stopped rotating around Ralin. The clockwork moment stopped at eleven, boisterous friends in class seemed to disappear and petrified. The eraser board that stopped and seemed to float in front right in front of Atlas. A wind that seemed to disappear from life.

Ralin's gaze was fixed on Andra's figure. There was a smile on Andra's face as a deep longing ambushed and brought the air around Ralin turned cold and foggy. There was only Ralin and Andra among the fog. Slowly standing up from his chair, Andra's figure seemed to move away. Over time the young man's figure disappeared along with the desiring wail and the silence that perched in Ralin's heart. Alone in the darkness, Ralin remained standing looking forward, until the smog slowly disappeared.

Seconds, Ralin returned to his world. Sitting on the same bench. Staring in the same direction where Andra's figure was still glued to his front. He still plays the ball in his hand.

“ It. ” smile Leticia welcomed by thrusting one note at the direction of Ralin's gaze.

Tacit. Ralin realized something after looking at his blank notebook. He turned to Leticia who had caught a blackboard eraser floating right at him.

“ Need this right? ” Leticia smiles with the book she still holds with the intention of Ralin taking himself out of her hands.

Smiling stiffly, Ralin took the note from Leticia's hand half-heartedly. In addition to feeling strange, for Ralin the presence of Leticia in the class made her completely unfamiliar with the thing that happened. Especially with the habit of Leticia who likes to stick to him. Loves holding Ralin's hand in class for no apparent reason. Sometimes the shadow of the little girl always flashed past Ralin as Leticia embraced her hand spoiled.

Like this time. The figure of the little girl in black dress on her knees was smiling like Leticia's smile. Another shadow followed. Pine forest, twilight light, shrubbery, blood-colored ice crystals and a mysterious figure that seemed to begin to show his identity.

Ralin wailing.
