The sun was still hiding behind the clouds, the cloudy morning atmosphere looked very cheerful by the footsteps of the disciples towards the Basketball court. Ayu is making a poster bearing the name Dimas while Aura is making it for Abas, Diah who had been standing at the door of the class kept calling us to rush to the basketball court while I was not feeling the taste of joining the crowd.
The sound of the crowd echoing the signs the match had begun, Diah seemed increasingly impatient to head for the field. After the poster so they immediately ran towards the field, I who initially wanted to stay silent in class was forced to come along because my friends forced me.
Both Abas and Dimas looked cool that morning, in heavy sweat they ran to and fro passing the ball. I saw Abas and Dimas looking compact, actually I was happy to see him but I felt it was unfair. I mean, why would Abas be cold to me but still be nice to Dimas. Is he really jealous of me or Dimas? What he likes is Dimas. I don't know what I was thinking at the time, I always imagined the no-no. While being cool daydreaming suddenly Aura hugged me and said
“Ciee loved same Dimas.”
Apparently Dimas formed the hearts of both of his palms as his celebrity after scoring three points. Dimas does like it that way, making a heart shape from the palm of his hand and as if directing it to his fans. That day while winning the exemplary student he was also like that.
That morning Dimas' team won the game and went into the final round. Once again I am proud of Dimas, he scored the most among the other players in his team. Ayu and Diah kept pushing me to approach Dimas to congratulate him. But I saw that there was Abas who had been watching me and started walking towards me. But I hesitated as Aura grabbed my arm and whispered
“Eka, look at that Abas is walking towards me, well how is this?”.
At that time I felt better if I just left that field. I mean there are two possibilities, Abas coming to get to me or Aura. If he comes to Aaura then it would be best if I don't see Abas with Aura, and if Abas comes for me then it would be better to leave first so that Aura isn't disappointed. I could feel Aura being attracted to Abas.

The school parade had begun, all the pupils lined up according to his class. The people around the school welcomed the parade with great joy. They lined up along the shoulder of the road to see our parade. Young children seem happy to see the various forms of class mascots that run in every front row.
After walking far enough away came the announcement of the winner of the cleanliness competition and class neatness and costumes and class mascots. That day our class won first place in the cleanliness and neatness class and third place in the costume and mascot class. I'm so proud of my own work, I didn't expect that my costume and mascot would be champion three.
Dimas and Abas came up to me to congratulate me. Abas looked friendly that day, maybe he was not angry but we were still awkward. While we were chatting Ayu came to ask Dimas for a photo with our class mascot and so did the other classes who were participating to take a picture with Dimas. Imagine there are so many mascots there but it is as if the real mascot is there because everyone wants to take pictures with him, when in fact he does not have any interest to take pictures with anyone.
It was not like now who could take pictures anytime and anywhere using a mobile phone. There are already pocket and digital cameras but only owned by certain circles and used in certain events only. I think Dimas wants to please everyone while he has the chance to take a picture together. Dimas is so, narcissistic and show-off but he's actually good.
“What person is that cool?” abas meant that man was Dimas
“Maybe I need to show you her SD photo here,” I replied while laughing to make Abas laugh too
“Hahaha,” I'm glad to see Abas laughing it's been a long time
“Abas, I want to apologize,” I said to Abas making the atmosphere serious
“I should be sorry, should not I behave like that, I do not understand my feelings, it feels like I want to be angry but do not know what because,”
“You can be angry with me but do not be long,” said I hope to calm Abas
“I will not be angry anymore, I will always believe in you,” Abas said reassuring me
It feels like my heart has stopped beating, is this a statement of love? Is my love reciprocated? Does he feel the same as me? Can we be called a being? Whatever it is, we're better. I feel so happy, I can't hide my happiness. I kept smiling and maybe my face was no longer red but purple or black.

“Ka how if later Dimas print score we make a movement like gini?” Ayu practiced hand movements like a mermaid jumping into a basketball hoop.
“Keep if he prints three points we make a movement like this,” Diah practice hand movements like catching butterflies and putting them in the chest.
“Keep if his team wins we make a kayak movement what?” ask Aura
“We just lift Dimas we keep throwing him up let him fly and disappear hahahaha,” I replied as if I wanted to say 'what is the same Dimas? I'm on a date with Abas to let Dimas disappear'.
“Eh do not pity Dimas, we shouted Dimas We Love You aja,” invite Diah
“Norak ah, we make yel yel aja” said Ayu
“Begin only, Diah whose voice was the loudest shouted the name Dimas! we continue to greet with the shout Champion Champion!” said Aura while practicing the yel yel he proposed
“Agree agree!” yell Ayu
“Keren tuh!” Diah was supportive
“If you lose?” I asked and then made my friends quiet for a moment
“Definitely won hahaha,” cried Diah made us all laugh
“OK we invite all Dimas supporters!” Ayu was very excited
“What the hell bother is there already a cheerleading team?” ask me later
“Liar exciting Ekaaaa!” yell Diah to me
We laughed together, that day I wasn't upset even though my friends kept talking about Dimas. I was very happy and because Abas said he would trust me then I thought it would be fine if I did the celebration with friends just to have fun and enliven the atmosphere.
The basketball game is about to start, we are looking for the right place to do the celebration movement for Dimas. Diah and Ayu were very excited to give an example of celebration for Dimas to the supporters of Dimas.
From a distance I saw Abas looking at me and smiling. I tried to encourage him by clenching his hands, then he returned my fist by clenching his hands but in front of him suddenly there was Dimas who also did the same. I don't know when he's been standing there. I don't know how other people judge it but I felt at the time I was like someone cheating on me. I mean, of course I'm not the girlfriend of the two and I'm free to hang out with anyone, but secretly talking to Abas and feeling guilty to Dimas or otherwise makes me feel like I'm having an affair.
The game went very well, the value of both teams chasing each other. The spectators were very enthusiastic about the match. My friends and I got excited about our celebration dance. I saw both Abas and Dimas both laughing at our celebration. That day was so much fun. The match closed with a very thin score difference and the Dimas team was the winner. This time I did not hesitate to approach Dimas and Abas to give a congratulatory greeting and ask for a photo together. I'm very happy and I think so are my other friends.
