Red Box
School Box's



The bell rings loudly. The hour of rest that lasted only half an hour, felt like an oasis in the barren desert. Want to cool the already almost boiling head.


Because of the complicated thought of algebra and phytagoras, soon my hair will surely fall out, like a photo of the person who found the formula.


I know, he must be very smart people. But sometimes I think, why do they have to find all this? I mean, if only no one had ever found it, I would definitely not have been told to do these difficult matters. Despite having to suffer a significant setback, I think it's worth it.


Unfortunately, everyone wants a smart child. So did my parents. As a result, send me to this shitty place. Out of annoyance, I just scribbled this package book and gave him glasses.


I was fully aware that this activity was a form of vandalism and probably did not appreciate the author of the book. But today it seems like glare. To make it cool, I added more mohawk hair to look like a punk.


Actually I don't really understand western music, let alone the background. All I know is that people think it's cool, so even that suggestion, I take it raw. While showing me the artwork, I laughed.


Apparently, I got my one-frequency countryman. In fact, he also added a few more graffiti, which made the image even more ridiculous. Unfortunately because it is too attention-grabbing, the activity also, makes the maple teacher angry.


While throwing the eraser, he asked in an annoyed tone, “is there anything funny?”


Nervously, my friend replied, “t-no, sir!”


The maple master who was still angry walked over. I immediately turned the page of the task, so that our ignorant actions were not discovered.


He kept scolding us for the rest of the lesson. My ears feel hot. But a silly scene suddenly happened, when my friend was advised by the maple teacher.


......................


“Do not repeat again!” reprove him.


Unexpectedly my friend replied, “I do not promise!”


Instantly, even a prized gift, landed on his head.


“What if you, sir? Cook should laugh?” clippiness.


“Indeed, what school do you go to?” ask the maple teacher.


“Ngaby pocket money,” answer.


Steady, honest people have no cure.


As a friend of mine, I was amazed by his head. I think, as a child he fell out of a sling, or his umbilical cord was cut too late. That's why sometimes error.


His name was Ahmad, so I gave him the nickname, Mat Eror. Because of Mat, sometimes I doubt my own choices.


I chose this place, because my grades are pretty good. They say, only people with superior nem are accepted. In fact, these irregular creatures are still scattered everywhere. But that's what makes it interesting.


Being a diligent student later felt boring, so it made me choose to join the badung children. For starters, we carry our bags to the old library.


The walls there are not very high, nor are there many students, hero teachers. The last hour is biology lessons, while teachers teaching are on leave, due to gulali poisoning. That means, there is no point in lingering in this place. Honestly, I don't really care.


Empty lessons aren't that thick. Besides, there's nothing else I want to do. It's just that they promised something more interesting, rather than staying in the classroom.


Why not? As long as it's interesting, why not?


Beyond a doubt, the place they were showing was apparently really fun. In fact, I started to get addicted to the online game genre ¹FPS. Yeah, they took me to a cafe.


From that day on, I rarely went back home, after school. Even if I have more pocket money, I also start to like to truant.


Online games are done by individuals with other individuals, so it makes this one genre game so interesting. Unfortunately, some people start to think too pragmatically, so cheat pops that end up ruining the balance of the game. My interest in computers also grew from there.


Cheating makes me want to do the same. In fact, I also started learning to code just to satisfy the desire to be a master without effort. But at the end of the day, the fun of playing is actually reduced, because it does the same thing. Finally, I switched to the ²MOBA genre.


......................


“Lu smoking, Mat?” I asked, looking at the biling next door.


I wear the number 9, while Mat uses the number 8. It was loading the game, so I saw it to pass the time.


“Why?” sahut Mat's.


“That's good, huh?” ask again.


“Lu rasain by yourself, nih!”


Mat handed me a pack of cigarettes.


The wrapper is white with the famous two initials. But when it was opened, apparently the contents of the brand cigarettes are not clear, plagiarized Gudang Suram. It was, there were only two sticks. If not wrong, the price is only 500 rupiah per trunk.


“What cigarette, this is illegal, yes?” my many.


“You illegal cake, intellectual cake, irregular cake, origin bulging I don't care!” Mat.


“Nevent need to make it hard too, I just call it!”


I took one stick, and borrowed a match. Slow down, Iemut filter parts. It tastes sweet like free candy, but it makes me feel like I'm gonna throw up.


I feel like I just committed a big sin. If I get caught, I'll be beaten up. All my life, I never smoked. So did my parents. They all have a high self-awareness of health.


I pulled the cigarette, sniffed it a few times. The smell of tobacco is very suspicious. It makes me a little doubtful. But I still burn the tip of the cigarette.


“Mana, do not exit asep, Mat?”


“Lu isep no?” ask Mat.


“Emang should be creeped out, yes?” my answer.


“Lu guess Aladin lamp, rubbed doang nongol asep? Exhaust tuh, stay squeezed out asep!” Mat.


“Kan, I'm just his name!”


“So soon you tanyain, napa not all you tanyain ae, duren kudu peeled what kaga?!”


“Emang if not peeled first, can be eaten?”


“Can, lu telen already, ama his skin!”


“Ye, so!”


“Udah spout isep, most cough!” said Mat.


Chalenge!


While smoking, I burned the cigarette full of confidence.


“Uhuk, uhuk!”


“Kan?”


Mat laughed satisfied.


“Anj*r actually out asep!” myrag.


“Yes yes, cook out stock!” sahut Mat's.


“Buset, cake know ae lo!” my reply.


I tried to suck it again. But again coughing.


"Check, uhuk!"


"Cupu lu!" ledek Mat Eror, just keep laughing out loud.


......................


The day after that, I bought two packs of cigarettes, just to learn how to smoke them. Abstinence to me running away from something I started.


A week later, I was getting used to it. Mat also began to show other tricks that make me think, smoking it turns out there is art too. Even if it's pointless.


Exhaling through the nose, suck again after exhaling, making a round-shaped smoke, until the smoke comes out through the buttocks. Hm, this one seems like an exaggeration.


Personally, I don't really enjoy it. It can also be a bit freestyle. Salto while smoking and out late. i'm sorry, it's a joke.


But the fact was, healthy oxygen is free, why should buy smoke?


But they always make fun of me if I don't smoke.


......................


The morning before going to school, we were always hanging out at a stall near the terminal. There, they will relax, until the bell enters. While spending a few cigarettes of course. I'm really embarrassed, because I once thought this was cool.


That day is Friday. I'll never forget it, because that was the first fight of my life.
