I Want A Normal Life: No Romance
#19 - Being Real
The next day at recess, it was already Monday, and I was just standing in front of my empty suggestion box.
“Why is it still empty till now, huh???”
“Hm?” I looked the other way.
People looked to the same point, when I saw what people saw, I saw Lulu, she was walking towards me.
“Eh?”
He was seen walking clumsily for being the center of attention.
He came up to me and immediately grabbed my hand and pulled it.
“Cute me.”
I just follow him.
...
He pulled me into the canteen.
Arriving at the cafeteria, we sat down and Lulu immediately gave me the money.
“Please, buy me chicken porridge.” Said while bowing.
I boughtit...
“Thank you, oh yes, please buy me orange juice as well.”
I boughtit...
“Thank you, oh yeah, please buy me a snack too, crackers maybe.”
I boughtit...
“Thank you, oh yes, please buy ak-“
“Wait! The money is up.” As long as it shows my hand is empty.
“...” He saw my empty hand.
TAP
And give me another wad of money.
“Razox, this money is for you, you have helped a lot.” His words remain bowed.
“...”
“Good..”.
I went to buy me food too, I was hungry too.
...
“So, why did you bring me here???”
“I want to tell you something.”
“Yes, I know that, what is ‘something’?”
“This.”
Lulu showed me her phone.
“What?”
Suddenly Lulu showed her face.
“I have a social media account!” Said with a happy tone.
“Eh?”
I looked at his phone again, it showed that the phone was opening an onstagram app, a photo-sharing social media app.
“Wait a minute.”
I focused on the photos on the phone.
“It ‘kan Ivi.”
A picture of Ivi in the car shows her taking a picture with me and Tino while we were asleep at the time, the caption of the photo shows that she is on vacation.
“Hah?!”
“Since when?”
I was surprised to see the photo again, the photo has been liked by more than 500 people.
“I did not know that Ivi turned out to have an onstagram account..” My words immediately felt empty.
“Hey, Razox, do you have an onstagram account too? What's name?”
“Ah, I don't have,”
“i also don't have any social media accounts, any.”
“Why?”
“I think social media is very disturbing my privacy, after all I only use the internet to do tasks, find entertainment, buy and sell.”.
“When you can change your privacy from public to private, so only certain people can see your posts.”
“No, I still don't want.”
“Alright... oh yeah, what others also have onstagram accounts? Let me-follow.”
“Where am I going? I've never seen anyone use their phone to open social media like that.”
“So since when did Ivi have that account and have many followers???” I ask myself.
“I don't know.” Answer Lulu.
“Uhh... I did not ask you.”
“Alright, Razox, I just wanted to tell you that.” Said Lulu while wiping her mouth.
“...”
“Only that? I think it's more important.” I was disappointed and dropped my head on the table.
“Have been, yes.” Lulu stood up straight from her chair.
BEEPS
My phone suddenly rang, there was an incoming message, I immediately saw it, hopefully it was the person who wanted to consult.
“Eh?”
I just realized, people should have made a pact with me from my number on the banner, so they didn't have to bother coming to my class anymore. So that's the phone number function that's on the banner.
“...”
But it turns out that the message wasn't from my patient, it was just a message from the operator reminding me that this week my pulse will be up.
“...”
Since my food is up, I better go back to class.
BEEPS
My phone rang again, it was an incoming message.
Razox, where are you? Please come to your class, I have something to talk about
Greetings, OSIS chairman
“Hah?”
“Lulu! Take me to class for a minute, yuk!” I shouted as I approached Lulu who had walked out of the canteen.
Lulu did not answer him, she just nodded.
...
We walked to class. It was seen a man standing in my suggestion box while watching around. I seem to have seen it before.
“Oh, Razox!” He's aware of my existence, strange.
“Include, my name is Eesa Bima, I am from class XII-IPS-2 and I am the chairman of OSIS during this school year period.”
“...”
Ah, yes, I saw her during the first day of school.
“Razox, actually I want to remove this banner.” Eesa.
“Eh?”
No, my nightmare has finally arrived, the activity will be considered illegal and there should be no such consulting activities anymore in this school.
“I want you to move to the building next door.” Eesa.
“...”
“’Sidebuildings’ said..???”
“Yes, I support this activity of yours, but I do not want you to do this activity in school, because this place is indeed for teaching and learning activities.”
“Heee...”.
“Later after school, go to the next building and give this letter to the receptionist there, you will be shown your room.” Eesa gave me a letter.
“...”
“Oh yes, and also, I will give you a budget to make a promotional brochure, later I will send a message about the procedure.”
“...”
I don't believe what I got.
“Ah, I just remembered,”
“actually you can put up a banner in front of your class, but please reduce the size.”
“Ba-okay.”
“...”
“I go first.” Eesa left us, and I still couldn't believe what I was getting.
“Ya, thank you..”
“...”
---
After school, after we lowered the gaids to the 1st floor, we gathered at the stop. I immediately pulled Lulu's hand and left the others first.
“Shortly! I have business, please accompany me to the next building!”
Lulu and I went to the building next door that Eesa said, the building is right next to the school.
I just found out that this building belongs to the school as well.
We entered the building.
“Woww..”
I was immediately amazed to see the contents of the building, when entering, the air inside the building immediately turned cool, the color was dominated by yellow gold.
It's like a five-star hotel.
“Welcome.”
Greet the woman who greeted us with her friendly voice.
“There can I help?” Ask the woman who was behind the wide table that seemed to be the receptionist.
We walked up to the reception desk admiring this place.
“Wow, what is this place?”
“Master, this is the secretariat building of every excrement provided by SMA Platinum which is open to the public, so anyone can enter. Are you a new student at Platinum High School? Because your clothes show that you are students here, and you do not know about this building next to the school that has existed for a long time.”
“...”
“Oiya, and also, this.”
I gave a letter from Eesa earlier to the receptionist.
“...”
I waited for the receptionist to read the letter and I just looked around.
“Razox, I'm home, yes.” Said Lulu while pulling my clothes slowly.
“A minute, accompany me, yes.”
“Alright, sir, based on this letter, your space is on the 4th floor, I have already marked for you when on the 4th floor, the elevator is there, thank you.” Say that woman.
“This building has an elevator? Why is there no school?” I ketus.
“This school builder wants his students to move a lot in school..” Reply to the woman.
“Umm... fine... can I request the letter again?”
“Oh, of course, this.”
“Thank you.”
We walked up to the elevator and went up to the 4th floor.
“This building is great too, yes, even though it is outside school hours, this building still operates.”
“Great..”.
TING
We reached the 4th floor, there were 6 rooms and I immediately searched the room for me.
“So, which one is the space?”
“Maybe it.” Lulu pointed to the space at the end with a green light on top of her door.
“Wait a minute, it looks like it's the only active room,” I thought.
“because the other room has a red light on top of its door, whereas only that room has a green light.”
“Hee.. maybe that means the state of the door is locked or not.” Lulu.
“Eh?”
“...”
“You're right! It's not in vain that I take you! Hahaha!”
We walked into that room.
And open that door.
GREKS
That door is not open.
“Locked.”
At the door was also seen a bell, Lulu directly pressed him.
GREKS
There was a sound from that door.
“What is it?”
“That's the sound of the door.”
“I know, I mean, what does that sound mean?”
“Entah.”
Lulu held the doorknob and turned it around.
The door was immediately open.
We went straight in, and I was amazed by the content.
“Wahh..”.
“This is my office??”
Inside the room were tables and chairs, as well as bookshelves that already had many books. There is also a window that shows the outside view.
“Wah..”
“Lulu, you are now officially my secretary!” I said while pointing at Lulu.
“Eh? Me?”
“Ti-no, I can't!”
“Why? You can be my secretary! You know a lot of people! Expanding your connection!”
“It is precisely because of that that I do not want to, I am afraid of many such people.”
“Hmm... You don't have to keep communicating with people, just help me with the files I'm going to do.”
“Uh..”.
“And maybe you'll tell me if anyone wants to contact me.”
“Ba-alright, I agree, I'll try it..”.
---
The next day, in front of the class, I stood holding my suggestion box,
in front of the trash.
“Hasta la vista.”
I threw away my suggestion box.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Tino asked who suddenly appeared, she came with Ivi.
“Tino? I just threw away my suggestion box, people can give their suggestions to my personal phone number that I have listed on the banner.”
“You should have done that long ago.”.
“Oiya, Tino, you know what? I now have my own office, you know!”
“Iya, I know, your office next door?”
“What?! You know?!”
“Ya.. I know, yesterday you whispered with Lulu too loud, I accidentally heard her.”
“Huhu..”.
“Yaa.. good luck with your business..” Ivi.
“Alright, I want to go first, yes, dah~” I go straight away to leave them.
I went to Lulu's class, X-1.
BEEPING
“Lulu!!”I saw Lulu reading a book on her desk, she didn't have any friends, but as usual, she was the center of attention.
It's in class hours like this, too, huh? Ah, it's not important.
“A-what's up, Razox?”
“How? Has anyone contacted you to make a deal with me?” I suddenly approached him.
“Ti-no, yesterday no one sent a message, no one.”
“Hmm..”
“Maybe I have less promotion..”
“...”
“Ah! Right, yesterday the chairman of OSIS told me to make a brochure, it must be for promotion. I forgot about it, I'll make it.”
I ran out of that room again.
---
Later that night, I immediately made a brochure design, went to the printing press to print it in large quantities, paid for it, and thought to share it with the students tomorrow.
---
And the next day, I stood at the school gate alone and handed out the brochure to the students passing by.
I saw Ivi, Tino, Lulu, and the girl coming towards me.
“Hei, you guys.” Sapaku with happiness.
“Razox! We are waiting for you daritadi at the stop!” Said Ivi with her eyebrows curved down.
“What is it?” Tino asked pointing at the paper I was holding.
“Ah, this? This promotional brochure paper my consultation, please see.” I answered him casually and shared it with them.
“...”
“How can you pay for all this?” Ivi asked as she fumbled the brochure.
“Yes, where did you get the money? It must be expensive, the quality of the paper and ink is too good.” Tino.
“Use my money first, later replaced by OSIS.”
“...”
“Alright, good luck with your business.” Ivi.
They immediately left me, including Lulu.
“Hey, Lulu, if anyone wants to consult me say, yes!” I shouted at those who were far away.
...
...
...
TING
“Razox, let's go home.” Take Tino.
“...”
“Why...??”
“Razox??”
“Why doesn't anyone want to consult me today???”
“Huhuhu.. whereas I have done promotion..”.
“Hueeee!!”
“Already, already, let's go home.” Tino.
And carrying.
“Let's be there, kok, just relax.”
