ME, YOU, And The Light Novel Book
Episode 3: The First Sentence is Not Everything



That morning I was shocked by Manda who was sitting in my chair when I entered the classroom. He then threw his smile at me and said :


"For Ray today we talked to each other again, huh, how ? "


Hearing Manda's words to me, all my classmates who were present immediately gave a cynical look at me. Realizing that made me immediately say to Manda :


"Yes.iya later we talk again fitting rest yes, now quickly get up from my chair yes I want to sit as soon as possible. "my words while showing an annoyed face towards Manda.


"Has Ray this, in a hurry to sit you again nahan BAB huh ? "


"Though BAB also times Manda, I just want to immediately eliminate the cynical gaze that sees me. " said in a rather slow voice so that only Manda heard it.


"Well, where did Ray look from ? "You looked at the whole class and finally realized it.


"Have you seen, right?, how's Manda. "


"Oh yes Ray, please sit down sorry ya bother you early in the morning. "Manda immediately said that while getting up from my chair and walking back to his chair.


During the first break like before Manda suddenly approached my desk and hit him with both hands.I who was reading the climax of the novel I brought then gasped in shock and said :


"Now what do you want to say to me? "


"Ih Ray is very cold talk, so this is Ray I already have a picture of the story for a light novel that I want to make so later we will discuss it in the library yes during the second break. "


"Ok, I'll come after you from the cafeteria first but. "


"Yes Ray later I also want to eat in the cafeteria first. "


Seeing us talking about my class, my dear class began to second-guess the relationship between me and Manda, it was natural because Manda was a smart girl, athletic, beautiful, beautiful, and popular.While I am a guy whose intelligence is average, not athletic, not handsome-looking very but not ugly as well, and not popular. But I didn't think much of my classmates' thoughts, but there was actually no special connection between me and Manda. When the second break bell rang I then went to the cafeteria and filled my stomach with fried shrimp rice that I often ordered at lunch.


It didn't take long for me to finish the meal, most I only need about 7 minutes.After my lunch is over I buy a glass drink and drink it in a chair near the library.I went straight into the library after I finished the drink. There I did not find Manda's whereabouts some time about five minutes Manda came to the library with Sherly.Manda then immediately sat on the chair next to me and said :


"Sorry Ray I'm late, this was Sherly maksa ask to come anyway so I wait for him to finish eating deh."


"So Sherly wanted to come along because of what ?"


"You also know Ray, because I've finished eating and keep saying I want to see you in the library he wants to come along."


"Well, you keep talking, why did you meet me ?"


"You're not about that yet Ray."


In my heart I said: "Oh, pantes he wants to come."


"Oh that's it, continue to say you want to discuss about the development of your light novel writing?"


"So this is Ray I already have the same viewpoint that I think is suitable for me to write a light novel, then I want to ask for the next tips from you to write it."


"Can you tell me first about the same viewpoint of the story you want to write."


"So this is how Ray wants me to make a detective-genre light novel, well after I read some detective genre reference books continue I finally got the idea to make a rich story gini so there is a detective who was suddenly fired from the police while solving a murder case , continue the detective wanted to solve the case with his own efforts to our point of view as the detective. "


"For the plot of the murder case itself you already have the picture."


"If it's because it's the core of the story so I already have the picture anyway Just confused about how to start writing?"


"So here's Manda the next writing tips I want to tell you that the first sentence is easy, language style is a habit, and getting it done is even easier."


"That means rich how Ray can you explain in more detail."


So Manda the first sentence is easy because the first sentence does not have to be in accordance with the story so that it is easy so you can write the first sentence according to your mind then if it is a sentence that may not be deleted after the story you wrote so."


"Yes you are right, so in order to make it easier for you to start writing a story then write the first sentence according to what you thought at that time to get into the core story."


I just finished saying that, Sherly, who was alone, looked at our conversation and said :


"Wait a moment you two!, actually from earlier you were saying what the hell ?"


"Sherly, we're talking about tips for writing a light novel."Manda then said so in response to Sherly's question.


"Oh, I thought you guys went to the library because you wanted to mojok or talk about something secret because here it would be quiet right after the break. "


In my heart I said, "It turns out that Sherly's purpose in joining Manda is very different from what I thought was suspicious of a relationship between me and Manda. "


After Sherly said that, the entrance bell rang and as soon as we heard it, we prepared to return to class. But before we got up Manda said to me:


"Ray can get you to give an example of the tips to me. "


So while walking to class I responded to his words :


"Oh, if so anyway ok-ok aja tomorrow I bring an example of a light novel that I wrote myself the last two weeks. "


"So you try to write Ray too, so be curious to read."


"Yes, be patient and please be understood if the story is crisp because I was also the first time trying to write. "


"Papa Ray I just want to see how good the story you make with light novel references that have been a lot so far. "


Finally we got to the front of the class and like that time, I let Manda and Sherly in first and I went in after them. The next day on the second break after lunch in the cafeteria I went to the library. There Manda was waiting for me while reading a book about EYD he then smiled to welcome my arrival who immediately sat in the chair opposite him. Then I said:


"You're so cool to come to the library, what's lunch yet? "


"I was here before Ray's lunch, because today I was made with my mother. "


"Oh that's it, my pantes just saw you go to the cafeteria. "


"Yes Ray I didn't stop by the cafeteria because the break bell rang I immediately ate my lunch in class. "


"So how's your novel written?"


"I've tried to write a few paragraphs anyway this is on my HP, try reading. "


I then took the HP that Manda had thrust towards me and read some of the paragraphs. The result is quite good for a novice writer even though the first sentence is rather long. Manda then looked at me with sparkling eyes and said :


"So what do you think of the story I've written? "


"Oh yes Manda, this is the beginning of the story has been conveyed well, only later the first sentence that ngawur was deleted was the same for the continuation of the story still use the initial perspective yes. "


"Ok Ray, oh yes he said you want to show me a light novel that you have written to me."


"Oh you really also yes, this I've brought the file on the flash you can read using HP if there is OTG."


"Ok Ray, we'll discuss the third break, yes I want to borrow OTG to Sherly first. "


"So we're on our third break here again. "


"Yes dong Ray later we will discuss about the story that you have written. "


After saying that, Manda rushed out of the library and headed to class, while I did not move out of my chair and think about my school life now.
