Moon & Stars (Revised)
Section 49. Living in Two Dimensional?
“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!” his fate immediately got a nod from the Moon.
The moon opened its eyes. The roar of hunting breaths filled the silence that night. Raut pias can not be avoided decorate the face.
The moon glanced at the alarm clock above the nightstand. The exact time shows at 01:00 in the morning. Again and again, the Moon awoke from a late night sleep. Strange dreams that felt real came back and disrupted his deep sleep.
A scene that feels familiar again rotates in the memory as if reminding that the scene never happened. The moon forgets when and where. The moon is like someone forgetting a memory that is collecting the remnants of his lost memory.
It's freaky. Not once every month has experienced this. Almost every night dreaming of something similar, or continued delayed scenes in previous dreams.
And, one thing that's bugging the Moon's mind right now. The blur faces of the characters in his dream began to be seen clearly. The thing that managed to make the Moon silenced in place with a thousand questions filled its head.
Why is the figure of the man who became the main character and became his partner in the strange dream is Bintang Prawijaya, a classmate who was only known by Moon a week ago?
Then, there are Renata, Surya, Sky, and also ... Mentari.
Actually, what does that dream mean?
“How could I have lived in another dimension? And ... This dream is part of the scene I did there?” the Moon murmured to itself.
The girl frowned thinking hard while biting the tip of her index finger. Then the head-scalks.
“No! This is insane. How can my mind get there?” The moon tried to brute all the presumptions because they seemed unreasonable.
“That dream is just sleeping flowers, right?” ask the girl to yourself.
Continue to nod your head. “Yes, flowers sleep.”
After her heart and common sense had been at war for a long time due to incompetence, the girl went back to sleep. Although in reality the eyes are very difficult to close.

A bright morning welcomes a cheerful Moon day. The radiant face came out of the house and approached someone who had been waiting since before in front of the house.
As soon as the gate of the house opened, the smile on the lips of the Moon grew even more. A guy in a gray white school uniform wrapped behind a white hoodie was riding a sports bike. His cool style seemed to endlessly make the Moon fall for him.
“Halo pretty,” greet the guy with his brazen combing.
“Hai.” Moon blushed in shame when replying to the man's greeting. She tucked her hair behind her earlobe.
“Yok, go. Before I cosplay as an online motorcycle taxi smitten by the love of the son of the sultan,” said the guy again as if relentless to fight the lover.
The moon that had gone up in the back seat patted the guy's shoulder slowly. “Ish! It's not clear, anyway!” gerutu sok sebal's.
The boy chuckled with the bashful behavior of the Moon. Ignoring her girl's grunts, she drew both hands of the Moon and wrapped them around her waist perfectly.
The surprised moon could only hide the face behind the boy's shoulders. Then hold the chin there when the motorbike has gone through splitting the highway.
A smile can't be separated from that face. The crazy heartbeat no less accompanied the unusual journey for them.
A year ago it was over. In the end, Bintang Prawijaya the school badboy managed to melt the heart of Purnamasari the outstanding student. The star managed to melt the already petrified ice inside the girl.
Since a week ago, they have formalized their relationship as lovers. The horrendous thing about Mahardika High School all over school.
“Tumben, you picked her up earlier than usual,” Moon great-grandchildren on the way, revealing a little oddity this morning.
“I want to show you that I can be better than before. I want you to see me as a good girlfriend,” said Bintang while glancing back. The Moon's hands were coiled around the waist, the Star rubbed gently.
The moon was flabbergasted by the gentle treatment full of affection that made her hair goosebumps. You need to know that this is the first experience of the Moon in dating. The Moon has never been close to a man before other than the Stars. Only the man was able to change the Moon's perspective that the Moon would never fall in love while sitting on a white bench of ash.
“Thank you, Star. You have done your best.”
The moon tightened her embrace on the stars.
After a dozen minutes of travel, the couple finally arrived at school. The arrival of the two in the school parking lot became the center of attention of students.
School suddenly became a scene. A sigh rang out filling the school hallway as the two passed through the corridor while holding hands. Some were excited to yell at the couple, some were blatantly berating the Moon because they felt unworthy to be with the Stars. However, both the Moon and the Star ignore the booty.
The two continued walking until his steps stuck in front of a class. A further glance threw a smile, then the two gender-different students stepped into the classroom.
“Good morning, gess! I and my princess is coming!” stars in front of the class.
The attention of the students was immediately drawn to the two of them. Cheers accompanied by teasing whistles filled the classroom. Moon could only smile shyly in response to the joke of her classmates.
Amongst the cheers, there was one flat gaze that implied dislike towards him. Only that person was silently pecking while having his chest closed on his stool as all the disciples cheered the Moon and the Stars. Jealous. A word that defines his condition.
Until when the eyeballs of the Moon accidentally met with the dark net belongs to the person. The moon is full in place. Instantly silenced in the place of a display statue tub.
After the first and second subjects of the day were finished, it was time for a break. All students pass out of class and race to take their place in the cafeteria. Not much different from the Moon and Stars who are now in a hurry to the cafeteria before they run out of place. But in the middle of the journey, suddenly the Moon wants to urinate.
“What's up?” The stars turned as the Moon's steps came to a halt.
“Bi, I went to the restroom, yeah. Kebelet wants to pee,” he said to take off the hands of the Star he held.
Stars nodded. Continue the ignorant smile rising on the lips before the Moon passes. “You want me to accompany?” he was intentionally flailing.
Moon glared sharply. “Star!” mewanti-wanti.
And damn it, that guy just grinned without sin.
Months later passed leaving the Star who is also now walking first to the cafeteria to take place.
Meanwhile, the Moon who had just come out of the toilet sighed as it felt more relieved than before.
“Renata?” call it with kernyit wonder on the forehead.
The girl's step was immediately stopped when in front of her was already blocked by a girl while having her chest closed.
The girl called Renata snorted. Lips incessantly singed a cynical smile. He raised one eyebrow and asked, “Why? Shocked you?!”
The Moon's reflexes shook. Renata who took a step forward made the Moon rewind step. Heart's pounding. Fear is clearly visible in both eyes of the Moon. His body stuck on the white wall behind.
The opponent smiled triumphantly at the look of the pias. “Oh, scared?” inquiringly.
The face slowly turned sinister as the raised hand gripped the Moon's chin. The cynical smile had faded to change a fierce face that could make anyone reluctant to look at him.
“Start brave, yes, lo now. Spanning already dating the Star.” The girl snorted. While the Moon was already squeaking in fear.
Jerking the chin of the Moon and again said firmly, “Gue perematin yes, equally do not have much behavior! After grabbing my popularity in school, now you snatch mine too?! Damn it!”
“Awas lo!” his memory is full of threats.
After giving a sharp look and banging the Moon's head against the wall of the toilet, Renata passed from there. Leaving the Moon now shriveled in fear under the front floor of the toilet.
“Lo why change, Ta?” weakling.
