Gravel Life Aluna

Aluna New School

Aluna rushed towards Baim who was still busy cleaning the car glass.

"Sir Baim, Anter Aluna to school ya"

"So Mr Andre Non?"

"Udah asked Dad, he said let me bring my own car today"

"Oh good Non, please" driver Andre smiled and immediately opened the door for Aluna. Aluna was sitting comfortably while looking at the nurse who was guarding Zeus just down the stairs to the front yard.

"Hello Zeus"

"Son't go to school first"

"Suster waved Zeus's hand to respond to Aluna"

Until finally the white Innova's antelope car left the yard, and headed towards the school. The road began to fill with vehicles. And this is the first time Aluna has traveled without her father or mother beside her.

Not long after passing through the streets are quite crowded vehicles and queues in the Pettarani flyover which is quite long. Finally, Aluna arrived in front of the gate of Seventeen Jakarta High School, a solid and tall black gate standing upright in front of him.

This Monday is the first day all new students get together and go through the school orientation period.

Alunapun put his feet in doubt, there is a sense of anxiety about the fear of not being accepted in his new environment. He became insecure, and could only look down on the shoes his own father had chosen for him.

Baim observed Aluna from the opposite side and he felt sorry for the doubt of the young Miss of his host, but he could not do anything either.

Amidst Aluna's doubts, there came a girl with a double braid on the side of her hair. He without warning immediately embraced Aluna and invited himself in.

"Why are you standing here, my friend" said the woman of Aluna's age

"Byok buruan enter, later late and I can come late because of you, hahhha" ledek the girl

"Umm, yes" replied Aluna with a soft tone of voice

Apparently what he has learned on YouTube and other internet sites how to socialize so as not to stiff still not able to apply in his daily life.

In the middle of the journey to the corridor the girl beside Aluna did not stop talking Aluna she could only faithfully listen to how she recited many words.

"Why this guy, can be this easy to tell a very comfortable story to the person he just knew"

"Ohiya, I forgot we haven't met yet"

"My name is Aluna Margaretha Andreomos"

"I call?"

"You can call me Aluna or Aluna"

"Okay Aluna, I know Rachel Weisz"

"I call?" Aluna said, copying Rachel's words

"Just rachel"

Aluna gives a very good impression of Rachel because her personality is very sociable and sociable, involved also how she greets others she does not know along the way to the corridor.

"You know what class?"

"Not yet"

"I haven't either, hehe"

"So?"

"Looky, there's the most information on the bulletin board there" Rachel pointed out

"Why do you know the location here?" Ask Aluna wonder

"I'm not here, so I'm invited here sometimes"

"Oh your sister's a teacher here"

"Umm, math teacher of death"

"What's that?"

"Because the math is stressful plus my sister is fierce too" Rachel added, defining her older brother to Aluna.

Soon there were two girls in front of the notice board bounded by large glass, and floral ornaments in various corners.

Rachel looked excitedly scrolling name by name to ascertain which name she was in which class.

"Rachel, Rachel, Rachel, Rachel"

"Ohhh here, can"

"We're not Aluna's class"

"What class are you in?"

Aluna was still busy looking for her own name so as not to respond to all questions from Rachel. Until his hand stopped at Class 10 D. Rachelia Andrelios lined up neatly with 21 other student names.

"Even if we are not in class, we must remain friends" said Aluna staring at Rachel.

"Yes definitely dong, added Rachel embracing Aluna away"

"We met just after lunch" said Rachel while waving her hands after delivering Aluna to the front of class 10 D.

Aluna entered the classroom awkwardly, looking around trying to find an empty stool. Then two other girls waved their hands, to send a code that next to the two was empty.

Aluna tried to pull a smile on her lips trying to be as natural as possible even though it still looked so stiff.

"Think about it"

"It's the same with me"

"Ga there, you're the same I am"

The two girls in front of Aluna were busy fighting for the place where Aluna would be sitting. While they were arguing another girl grabbed an empty chair in front of Aluna's eyes and laughed gleefully.

Aluna immediately grabbed the chair and sat down to try to calm her mind and heart rate that was increasingly crying out.

"Hahaha, I won" said Tiku meredek other friends.

"Ohiya hello, know my name Tiku" said the girl who Aluna will accompany my neighbor in the future.

"Aluna" he also extended his hand politely to Tiku.

Tiku kindly shook Aluna's hand quickly.

"Hello, know me Farah" said the girl who had just arrived earlier

"Aluna" Aluna replied smiling kindly

"I also dong, know me Galuh" explained the girl Tiku had previously argued.

"Do you know each other?" Tanya Aluna tried to find a topic of conversation

"Oh yes, we were first Junior High School friends even though the class is finally here one class as well"

"Ohh so"

"Where are you Junior High?" Ask Farah casually

"I homeschooled" replied Aluna again

"I also used to homeschool but the tutor is handsome, even I make it uncomfortable every day. I watched on, hahhaha" Tiku told his story and made the four of them laugh together.

Not long after, there was an announcement from the field. All students begin to move from their seats. Aluna looked straight ahead.

“Yaampun, why Still dumbfounded Aluna?” Tegur Farah's.

“What's wrong?”

“Udah stand alone, ayok” Tiku without receiving any approval from Aluna immediately pulled his body to stand, followed by Galuh who helped support Aluna's body to quickly go to the field.

"Assalamualaikum, greetings to all of us"

"Welcome to the new students of the 2023/2024 school year at SMA 57 Jakarta. May all children feel at home as long as the learning process in this school is good"

Mr. Hartono's welcome in the middle of the wide field echoed through the speakers in front of him.

"Why not in the hall anyway, it is more cool" complained Farah.

"I thought we were going to have a ceremony, at this hour" said Tiku with a small grin

"Which handsome grandfather yes" said Galuh

"Heeeee's eyes"

"You didn't want Kevin's brother first"

"That was never Tiku"

"Hahahahahah" Galuh and Farah could only laugh reminiscing about their coloured school days.

The three of them ignored Aluna who was not in their conversation. Aluna could only look straight ahead. Just a minute ago, they were so friendly to him now that they ignored him.

"They don't see me here" said Aluna lirih

"You said something, Aluna? Tiku asked me to make sure because he felt he heard Aluna say something followed by Galuh and Farah's gaze towards Aluna.

"Emm, nothing"

"Ohhh, okay" said tiku and continued the conversation of the three of them.

Aluna chose to listen to the headmaster's welcome and the new students were directed to the hall room of the school to gather there.

Aluna was held in her hand by Galuh towards the Hall room excitedly.

"Why are you, Aluna, so moody?"

"Emm, it's nothing"

"Don't you get sick huh, asked Farah who nimbly stuck her hand on Aluna's forehead"

"Where's Farah?

"Blu, ish... Sorry ma'am we did our best"

"Hahaha, shit" hit Tiku

Aluna dissolved with the laughter of the three girls beside her.

"It seems like I was too overthinking it, and felt that you didn't care about me" Aluna let go of Galuh's grasp and Aluna began to tell the truth about how she felt. Aluna's words managed to hold the footsteps of his three peers.

"I'm sorry Aluna, we were too engrossed to ignore you" Galuh said again

"Sorry Aluna, we didn't mean anything"

The three of them hugged Aluna together, until finally .....

"Woii you guys in the middle of the field, why are you thereuuu!!!!" Shouted one of the seniors holding the loudspeaker

"Buruan!!!" Senior orders from the other direction

The three of them immediately ran towards the school hall, because in a hurry Aluna accidentally hit someone.

"Bruck..."

"Astgaaa, sorry brother"

"That road wears eyes" snapped the man who was 180 in front of him at the moment

"Pake legs too sis" Tiku chirped. But a moment later the man stared intently at Tiku.

The male student continued to scold Aluna, and Aluna could only hold back her tears through the white mask she was still wearing and clasped her hands tightly.
