Moon & Stars (Revised)

Part 3. Familiar

Today is the first day a Purnamasari Moon set foot in Mahardika High School. Yes, the cheerful and smiling girl is a transfer student from Kencana High School.

After facing the Headmaster, Moon was finally declared officially attended Mahardika High School and placed in the 11th grade IPA 2.

Moon enters her new classroom with a teacher. At first mediocre, it seems that he is timid perhaps because the influence has not been accustomed. But when his eyes accidentally caught an object in the second row of the leftmost row, he was surprised instead of playing.

That's right, the guy who almost hit him at the intersection earlier! The mind in the heart.

So, they're a class?

And even more unfortunate, they are also my friends.

However, it cannot be denied that there is a feeling of liking when he knows that he is in class with the guy. I don't know, the Moon doesn't know what it's feeling!

Clearly, his heart warmed up every time the guy smiled at him as well as his heart pounded.

Is this what people say fall in love at first sight?

***

Not felt, time continued to roll until the break sign bell rang. All the students of Mahardika High School also scattered out of the classroom and ran to the cafeteria to fight for seats. Hours like this many students visit there. So, in anticipation of not being able to ration a place there, mending unplug first.

“Lan, to the canteen yuk!”

The moon was busy packing her writing utensils on the table and was moved into her backpack, looking up when she found an invitation from her side.

A little frown on the girl's forehead when she found the Star was the perpetrator. The man was already standing in front of him with both hands crossed over his chest.

“Umm... do not deh,” subtly reject Moon.

That guy's a mangosteen. “Ya already, I first ya!” pamit Bintang who immediately got a nod from the Moon.

After that, the star passed from the class with Surya, the guy who sat on the bench behind him.

The moon resumed its activities that had paused. After that, he got up from his seat and tidied up for a moment his slightly shabby uniform. Moon to the library to read a book. Yes, rather than just staying in a class like this, mending his break time he spent reading.

When he was about to move his legs out, suddenly a hand from behind perched on his shoulder and made the scale stop.

Moon frowning in wonder and wonder in heart, “who?”

Slowly, Moon turned her back and found a girl standing in front of her with a smile that was expanding on her lips.

“Hai, Month!” The girl greeted with a wave of her hand.

The moon was not surprised at all when the girl found out her name. Yes, because of course he knew at the time of his introduction. The moon just returned her greeting with a smile.

“Ohya knowsin .. I am Renata Anastasyah. Call Tata or Rena!” said the girl introduced herself with her arms outstretched to the face of the Moon.

Moon smiled then returned Renata's hand, so now they shake hands. “Month Purnamasari. Call the Month!”

“Lo where to go?” tanya Tata probing.

“Oh, this—”

“Ke canteen, yuk!” invite Tata to interrupt her speech.

“Umm, how are ya?” The moon seemed to be falling.

“Duh, I'm a laper already. Please, my friend, yes!” tata Memelas full of requests. His hands are seen holding his stomach and squeezing it slowly.

“Ya, deh!” Because of pity, the Moon also agreed. The girl gave a rough breath. It is very different from Tata who is now jumping for joy.

Both rushed to the cafeteria. It didn't take long, they had already gotten there because Tata dragged her along. There's nothing the Moon can do but surrender. It's only the first day of school, but I've met students like Renata. Although the girl was a little bit of a bitch, but Moon was grateful and felt happy because she met a fun person like Renata.

The second step of the girl halted in the doorway of the canteen saw the overcrowding that was engulfing the canteen at this time. Thousands of heads filled the place. There are also those who pass deliberately looking for attention. Do not forget how the collapse of children who are waiting in line at the sales stand.

“Where do we sit?” ask the Moon with eyes looking here and there to see a place that is still empty.

Tata who was standing next to him did the same. Until his eyes sparkled when he found an empty table in the left corner. His hands raised upwards pointed at the place.

“There, yuk!” bring Tata.

The moon follows the direction of Tata. Then in the next second, the girl nodded.

The two of them walked over to the empty table. More precisely towards the front desk where the Star and Surya sit.

After arriving there, Moon directly sat his butt on one of the benches and Renata sat beside him. Their current sitting position is to accompany the Stars.

“Lan, you want to order what let me pesenin?” Renata got up from his seat and looked at the Moon questioningly.

Moon looked up to return the girl's gaze. “What aja. Same with lo!” the answer.

Renata nodded and stepped into one of the sales stands. Along with the departure of Renata, the Moon turned his face to the right of— to glance at the star who was eating greedily. Beyond the moon's expectations, the man was staring at her as well. Their eyeballs met and locked in one deep gaze.

The deg!

The moon jolted when it felt its heart again beating twice as fast and irregular.  Unknowingly, the Moon's right hand was raised upwards holding her left chest which was now pounding hard. Why is my heart?

The star, who apparently realized that, smiled. The stars feel the same way.

“Lan, woyyy Month!”

Until Renata came and fucked it all up. The eyes of both were cut off. The moon changed its position as before.

“Eh, Tata! Back then?” ask the Moon for pleasantries.

“Liatin what, anyway?” asked Renata with a frown, ignoring the girl's pleasantry question. A tray containing two bowls of soto and two glasses of sweet iced tea was placed on the table.

“Nih!” One bowl of soto and one glass of iced tea were thrust towards the Moon and the rest were his.

“Thanks!” said the Moon who was reciprocated with a nod of the head by Renata. “Eng-do not see anything,” he continued to answer Renata's question earlier.

Renata sat on his stool. One of his eyebrows shot upwards staring at the Moon in disbelief. Then, his gaze fell on the Moon's right hand which was now perched on his left chest. “Keep, your right hand what is tuh, hold-hold left chest lo?” tanya Tata interrogates.

Moon ignored. The girl bit her lower lip by occasionally stealing glances towards the Stars. At first, Renata was confused by the girl's movements. Until when he followed the direction of the Moon, then he must-be understood. Do not forget the dirty smile on the lips.

“Love same as Bintang?”

“Hah?”

The moon that heard that instantly turned its gaze towards Renata. He looked at the confused girl. “No, who says!” answer later.

“Terus, why do you see that?” ask again and managed to make the Moon silenced for a while. The moon lowered her head in shame.

Renata smiled faintly looking at him. Then his attention switches to soto who starts to cool. Then, Renata scooped the soto and put it in her mouth. Chewed it fast then his gaze fell back on the Moon who was still lowered.

“Lo want to know about Stars?!” haggard Tata that sounds like a question.

The smile on Renata's lips burst because after that the Moon raised her face quickly. Before starting her remarks that would probably be along that memory lane, Renata first grabbed her sweet iced tea glass and sipped it. Ah, fresh!

“Bintang—dia it's actually a good boy. I know him how he is. Yes, because in the past our Junior High was also in class, anyway. As far as I know, the stars are handsome, kind, polite, keep sintering again. You know, he was the pride of the teachers first. But—” Raut face Renata who was cheerful when telling about the Star turned grim. That certainly makes the Moon shrivel inward.

“... But, since entering High School and knowing Mentari his life changed completely. He turned into a wayward student and dissident. The achievement also decreased,” said Renata continued the story.

“Kok, so?” tanya Moon with both eyebrows swooping down on each other.

Renata did not answer. The girl was silent with a smile on her lips. Then, silence. No more conversations between the two. Both the Moon and Renata were silent.

Until a knock from the side, made the two girls turn their heads.

“Hai, Star!” greet a disciple with light brown hair and a skirt that was above the knee came to the Star and was struggling spoiled on the boy's stocky arm.

It was not the Star that answered, but the human figure that sat before the Star. Solar. From here you can conclude that Surya is obsessed with the weight of the same girl whose name is Mentari.

Mentari looked at the disdain of the man. “Ih, what the hell lo, Sur?”

“Gue would love to, Tar?” Surya sniffed his eyes intending to tease the girl.

It feels like Mentari wants to vomit right then and there. Perhaps, if the Star said that, he would feel happy and jump for joy. Don't think longsung nyahut, “Gue also like kok same lo.”

“Dih, really girl! Surya is also a very big basket, anyway!” Renata was upset to see that.

“Why lo?” asked Moon when she saw Renata's change in face that suddenly turned irritated.

No answer from the girl made speculation in Moon's mind telling the truth.

“Lo likes the same Surya?” guess the Moon who managed to make the girl turn her head, then nodded weakly.

“Udah, erah! Don't be jealous!” The moon giggled amusedly at Renata's expression. Then the Moon's gaze shifted to the three people who were on his right side.

“Ta, whose girl is it?” ask the Moon again. ‘Itu’ which Month is referring to is Mentari.

“Chick matre,” replied Renata is short, solid, and clear. The girl was still upset with Surya. Could be, the guy dared to fight Mentari—the girl he hated the most—in front of his own eyes. Her feelings feel unappreciated know no!

“Hah?” The moon looked at him curiously, making Renata turn lazy eyeballs.

“Name Mentari. Cunning plus matre girl in school. It's just morotin money doang guy. You know, there are a lot of victims. One of them was a Star," Renata explained with her half-jutek expression. He was most lazy to discuss the girl, but want how else this time he had to tell a story. Huh, annoying!

While the Moon is only a sign of understanding. The girl did not ask much more to see the unhappy look on Renata's face. His gaze then turned to the side again. More precisely in the direction of the stars. Somehow there is jealousy in the heart of the Moon to see the stars close to other girls.

The guy only kept quiet as Mentari was writhing spoiled on his arm. It does not do evasion. However, it can not be denied also if his face shows a look of dislike. Perhaps, he felt uneasy with the presence of the ex beside him.

“Star!” call Mentari, but ignored by the guy.

“BINTANGGGG!!!” The girl's call turned into a screech that managed to make the Star aware of her daydream.

The star stared at the girl's annoyance. “WHAT THE HELL?!” wrathful snapping.

“Lo listen no, I call?” Mentari asked back. No less upset.

“ENOUGH!!!” The star jerked the girl's hand as she got up from her seat. He's fed up. Tired of everything. Including the fact that Mentari approached him just because he wanted to memorize his treasure. Goddamnit!

With his chest huddling violently and his face flushed red, he looked at Mentari full of hostility. “LO MENTARI ... I REMEMBER ONCE AGAIN LO, NEVER DEKET-DEKETIN ME AGAIN, UNDERSTAND?!” he yelled at the girl.

Emotions that were being held back just gushed out.

He pointed at Mentari's face and said, “lo is nothing more than trash tau enggak!” Screeched, then waltzed away from the canteen.

The mentor who was still sitting on the bench looked down with a dead red face. Embarrassed? Sure oes. Stars are really too much. That damned fellow has already humiliated himself in public in this way. Damnit damnit!

Secretly, both of his hands clenched down there.

“STARS, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?” shouted Surya but ignored by the man.

Secretly, the Moon rose from her seat and followed where the man was going.

***

The Star Steps stopped at the school garden. The guy was silent in his place for a while before he decided to sit on one of the park benches.

“Damn it! Arghhhh!!” The guy ruffled his hair in frustration. Apparently, red coals still lit up in both of his eyeballs. Anger still rules over him now.

Faintly, the Star heard the sound of someone's footsteps from behind that was getting closer towards it. Until, he felt the bench next to him as if occupied by someone.

Without even looking, the Star already knew who that person was.

“Who told you to sit?” ask the Star of Sewot.

The girl looked up and looked at him confused. “Indeed, I have to permit first yes can just sit?” ask the Moon back.

The star turned his face to the side. Found a confused face that looked funny in his vision, making the Stars laugh crisply.

“Cock laughing?” ask the Moon wonder.

“Funny,” replied Brief star with narrowed eyes laughing effect.

“What's funny?” ask the Moon again.

The star stopped his laughter. He's back in silence. Don't know what to answer.

Then, silence.

Completely silent. Both are busy with their own world. The Moon turned her brain to how this conversation would go on and the Star with its blank look forward.

“Oh yes, you why here alone?” tanya Moon turned towards the conversation, trying to find another topic of conversation.

“Lo itself ... why follow me?” The star asked back. He turned his face to the side.

The moon shrugged both of her shoulders upwards and answered innocently. “Tau know.”

“Kok is?” Frown on the forehead The star pokes.

“Yes, I don't know either. Suddenly I was pulled here,” Moon said trying to be honest. Yes, the truth is like that. The moon is like a metal pulled by a star that acts as a magnet here.

“Btw, strong lo yes, ngadepin chick kayak him.” The moon smiled and turned to gently caress the boy's shoulder.

“Lo know my problem?”

Moon nodded. “Gue knows from Tata,” answers.

“Oh.”

Secretly, the stars stare a smile. Again, he gained the comfort of being near this girl. Unable to suppress his feelings, he hugged her from the side.

Of course it makes the moon be surprised. His heart was beating again erratically. My God, why does this have to be felt every time the Moon is near the Star? Is it his job to make his heart beat abnormally?

Without realizing it, they had already become the center of attention of his friends.

“Ahhh, cieeeee...,” led his friends in unison.

The Moon and the stars are flinched. The two men only realized that they had become a free spectacle by now. Since when did the atmosphere of the canteen become crowded?

With a timid smile, they broke his embrace.

“Bang, good yes, his embrace?” ledek someone whose voice is quite familiar in the ears of the Star. Who else if not the Benevolent Surya?

“Cieee.... Moon, my best friend I whose status is a new student already got a boyfriend. Um, so sweet! So envious, me!" Renata remained silent. The girl co-opted both. More precisely, it's a baper.

Until without realizing it, now his head has been tendered on the shoulders of Surya. His friends who are mingling the Moon and Stars, now switch to the System and Solar.

“Cieee... There's something new, guys!” chirps a girl student who happens to see the System and the Sun. Then, all pairs of eyes glanced towards the two.

The loud cheers of cieee are back audible. Surya who had just realized that, quickly removed the girl's head from her shoulders with a look of disdain.

“What the hell lo, Ta? A chance at narrowness! Mode know no!”  The guy shuddered in horror.

Renata who slightly fell to the side because of Surya's encouragement took a piss. He looked at the guy.

“Do not be shy cat, deh. In the mouth he said no, but in the heart he said yes. Anjay, shy cat!” The star laughed wryly which was immediately followed by his friends.
