BLACKER

***

"Noah! I'm hungry!"

A few hours ago, I was convicted of disposing of the garbage in the Office, by the Chairman of the OSIS for my delay.

I have finished doing it, including finished participating in learning activities as well.

Now it's time to rest, I have to eat the provisions I brought from home.

I was in Class 11 IPA, sitting at the left-most front, close to the window.

I looked around, there were only 4 schoolgirls and 2 students, including me who were still in the classroom.

My lunchbox is now on the study table.

"Noah! I'm hungry!"

I opened the blue lunchbox, and immediately took one small piece of Sandwich bread (1 medium-sized sandwich I had for 4 small pieces) that I brought from Home.

"Good meal!"

I haven't had the time to eat it yet, I was suddenly called by a female voice that sounded very excited.

She is Syila, my classmate.

"Eh, Rei. Request dong! I'm hungry .. I haven't had breakfast yet, and I also forgot to bring some pocket money."

I don't know why she forgot to bring her pocket money. But most importantly, I had to share this sandwich with him.

"Here, just take it if Syila wants to."

"Well, thank you!"

Syila approached, took 2 small pieces of Sandwich bread, and sat down beside my table.

"Well, have a good meal!"

"Good meal!"

But again and again, someone called me when I was going to eat this sandwich.

This time, Indri called me.

"Hey! Rey!"

"here! I have a need!"

Indri called me near the classroom door, with a serious face.

All right, I'll have to postpone my meal time.

"Syila, put the rest of my provisions under the table."

"I'm called Indri's sister."

Syila nodded at my orders. Then I approached her and asked her what kind of help she wanted from me.

"What's the matter Indri?"

"The Library bookstock just came. I'm asking you to help him."

"Help who?"

"Have you forgotten?"

"Of course Beni and Rosid! He's gonna have a library guard job this week."

Ah, he's right. Beni and Rosid are the Library Guards (representatives from 11th grade) and this week replace those who are guarding.

"In that case, what should I do, brother?"

"Take the book from the front of the Office, and bring it to the Library."

"Then a rarely used book from the Library you just bring it and put it in front of the Office. The book will be donated."

"You understand, right?"

"Dad, I understand. By the way, you wanna come with me?"

"E-Eh, no need. I-I have another assignment."

"alright. Then I'll go first!"

Now, I walked towards the Office, as my upperclassman had said.

I don't really care why Indri even answered her in a stammer.

I have to pass Class 10 (IPA and IPS) and the Library building first, then I can get to the Office.

As I walked, I thought about the architecture of this school.

Try to imagine. The architecture in my school is shaped like an inverted "U.

To the left is the Office, Library, and Class 10. In the middle is Class 11 and Class 12. Then on the right there is the OSIS room, Club, Warehouse, and so on.

Because of its shape, the field became very wide, and I had to walk far enough to reach my destination.

But even so, I am very grateful, all because of the Donors who have donated everything, until our school became a rather advanced school than the previous one.

Especially Athletics Club, which this Club contributes a lot of wins (when participating in the competition) than other Clubs. Donors are willing to help this school.

All right, now I'm in front of the library.

I better tell Beni and Rosid about me helping him. Besides, the office is also on the left side of this building.

"Excuse me ...."

I opened the door, entered, and stood by the door.

I see, Beni and Rosid are very busy in arranging books into shelves, and separating some books into boxes.

"Anu .. said Indri, I must help you."

"Ah sorry. I didn't realize you were standing there."

"Eng ... The book is in front of the Office, please get it. Let us just arrange it."

Beni answered my question without seeing me at all and stayed focused on her work.

They kept the book very busy. All right, I think I should help him.

I immediately left the Library, and walked towards the office.

The distance from the Library to the Office is not too far away. So, not waiting long, I arrived.

"Well, there are a lot of books."

I saw 17 cartons the size of a 20-inch TV tube, with books inside, that were just tied up with plastic straps.

I tried to lift it, and it was pretty heavy. It probably weighed the same as the 3 Kg Elpiji Gas when it was still full.

All right, time to help him.

But wait, I think I'll cut it short.

The point is I helped them. When I finished, the bell that marked the time of the third lesson was ringing, and I was following all the learning activities.

***

"Ah .. tiring ...."

I felt tired after helping out at the Library, and following the study this time.

"Good job, Rei."

"You were helping out at the library, weren't you?"

"Ah yes."

I answered Fia's question briefly, while holding my right shoulder with my left hand.

"Do you want me to get a pijitin?"

"No, Fia."

"Mending Fia change clothes first."

"E-Eh? G-Change clothes? Now?"

Hey, is he nervous? Why would he answer my question like that?

Ah, I think Fia misunderstood me.

When I glanced around me, it turned out that all the students had already come out and left us both in the classroom.

"Wait for Fia, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to."

"I mean .. You have to go to the toilet and change clothes there. We have club activities?"

"A-Ah, you're right. Sorry, I'll stay."

Fia then ran while carrying her green bag, leaving me alone.

All right, I'll have to change clothes, too.

I started taking off the uniform I was wearing, and replacing it with a gym shirt. Then I put the uniform in the bag and put it under the table.

All right, I'm ready. I have to go to the field now.

***

"Good everyone. Today we're training for the Relay relay."

"Before that, we ran around the field a little 3 times."

"I'm also with you, watching from behind."

"Do you understand!"

"Ready! Understood!"

"All right, ahead, let's start!"

Me and the Athletics Club members started running around the field.

The number of Athletic Club members is quite a lot compared to other Clubs.

At the Athletics Club there are about 25 members, with 15 Students and 10 Schoolgirls.

It is quite profitable if the Athletics competition is held again.

***

"Priitts!!"

I blew the whistle because we had all run small 3 times round.

"You don't sit down, and listen to my explanation of the Estafet Running Rules."

"Ready!!"

With the reply of my spirited members, I stood in front of them, and began to explain.

"Running the relay takes four people per team and also a stick."

"This stick is not just any stick—"

"Widdih, the magic wand," said Syila, who then all the members laughed at.

"It's not so Syila ... I mean the stick is indeed a 'Special' stick, with a length of 30 cm, and a diameter of 4 cm with a weight of about 88 grams for adults."

"If it is a small child, the stick is 30 cm long as well, but the diameter is only 2 cm with a weight of 50 grams."

"Well, long yeah ..," said Syila the second time, and made the students sound great.

"St! Enough already! I'll explain again."

"In giving and receiving the rod, it must be opposite to each other. I mean ... The first runner carries the stick with his right hand, then the second runner receives it with his left hand."

"There are two techniques in receiving a stick. The first is Visual and Non Visual."

"Visual way is to accept the stick by looking or looking back. For this type of relay running technique has a distance of 4 x 400 meters."

"Then the Non-Visual way, is how to accept the baton without looking or looking back. For short distance relay running technique has a distance of 4 x 100 meters."

"Do you understand?!"

"Don't understand!"

"Well that's it, let's try now. We use the Vision technique first."

I went to the field to break it. Then I chose the other 3 Students as the first, second, and third runners.

I chose the fourth runner position because this position is the most decisive in the race, in addition to the first position.

The four of us were already in the field, and I started screaming.

"The first runner used Start Squat!"

"The Start Stand!"

All right, looks like they're ready. It's time for the Relay training to start.

***

17.00 Hours

"Rei, here's the wand, let me help you."

"Oh, I can."

I gave him some sticks.

Since today's training was done, I had to take care of the tools that had been used, such as several sticks, whistles, stopwatches, and stationery to record time.

I am grateful that Fia would help me, where other members chose to rush home.

"Yuk, Fia. Everyone take it to the Athletics Club room."

Fia nodded, agreeing.

We both started walking, to the right, and headed straight for the Athletic Club Room.

This is enough to cut the time, if running directly from the field.

I feel like today's training is really tired.

I do not understand, but usually my stamina is not tired like this.

My bones feel loose all from my body .. limp .. tired ... tired ....

Then, I arrived at the door of the Athletics Club room.

"Fia, you wait outside yeah."

"I put the stick I brought, I'll come back and get the stick from you."

"All right."

I opened the door, and immediately put the stick to the far right corner, where there were several boxes of various colors arranged neatly.

I put the stationery, whistle and stopwatch that I had been counting and 2 sticks into the black cardboard, then went out to pick up the rest of the stick that Fia was carrying.

"Here Fia, the stick."

I approached him, holding out my hand.

"Now!"

I received his wand .. but accidentally fell just like that.

"Oh, Fia .. I'm dizzy."

"Eh? You kenap—"

I bowed while holding my head with my right hand.

Argha! As it rotated around it felt .. My body began to feel more limp .. and my view grew longer and more blurry.

Then, my view now everything looks blackened ....
