"I saw yesterday a list of KRI registration forms, how is your name?"

"Yes, brother, I went into KRI."

"Why? I told you that I wanted to get you into OSIS on an independent path." Yes, at my school there was OSIS who entered because of the recommendation of members, so he only followed the selection of talent to determine the position. For a position usually determined by the talent possessed, it is determined by written and oral tests. And the decisive one is the board of teachers of OSIS.

"But I have no interest in joining OSIS, fearing that my soul will not be able to unite so as to make me do something with force and produce something unsatisfactory." I saw Brother Hasan just nodding his head.

"Yes, I'm going to class first." He said when we have a crossroads, if to class, Hasan must take the left lane and to my class take the right lane.

"Yes, brother."

"Be careful and have a good time learning" he said with a smile and I just moved my head up and down.

----------------

Right now I am in front of the KRI secretary in there there is only Bagas and Abi brother who argue with each other seriously, I vaguely heard that Brother Bagas told Abi to behave like a gantelman and to look him in the face. Abi's feeling never hid his face, his face still looks so. Being transparent isn't that scary?

I was astonished, completely astonished by what the two of them were talking about, just waiting for your brain to be unable to digest the intent behind it. So, instead of me being caught eavesdropping, I immediately went or knocked on the door and made my presence known to the two people.

Tok.dok....

"Assalamualaikum," my greeting made the two men turn towards me.

"Waalaikumsalam Warohmatullah," answered the two of them.

"Son't my girlfriend?" askaku.

"Yes, come in" said Bagas kindly.

"Lo purposely did this?" abi's asking confused me. And I saw Abi pass from before us without waiting for an answer from Bagas.

"Sister, where are you going?" yelled at the bagasel but ignored by Abi.

"So unhappy with me that he behaves like that" I said slowly.

"Sorry yes Mut" said Bagas,

"Why apologize?" many confused.

"You can go to class first, I'll say. It's not good that we're just two," said Bagas, I understand the meaning so I say goodbye to move to class.

"Perpus yuk!" take Madina when I enter the classroom.

"Yep, I happen to want to return a book." I quickly replied, I also intend to go to the library.

We also walked to the perpus, already two days we are free from lessons, it is because there is an OSIS election and there is a celebration of the August race.

When I entered the library I was still ordinary, but when I was waiting in line to return the book I felt something strange. It felt uncomfortable, somehow I was surprised myself.

"I went there first huh," said Madina pointing towards the novel rack. I just nodded my head and then went back in line.

"Loh Bi, don't borrow it?" asked the perpus officer, it turned out that the person in front of me was Abi, ah I was not aware of his presence. But why should I realize it?

"Later, someone's missing." Abi was about to move towards the shelf on my right but slightly behind.

"You go first." I'm nodding.

After the process of returning the book I wondered various things to bu Lyli–– perpus keeper.

I was not aware of Abi standing beside me. If he doesn't put a thick enough book on the table. After realizing I immediately apologized and was about to leave, but stopped when I heard a voice,

"Sometimes friends can be opponents, so be more selective in making friends. It's not that we're picky but we should be able to judge the people we trust."

I turned around and saw Abi who was looking and smiling thinly at me, while Ms. Lyli smiled very sweetly.

"Thank you." He did not answer and just left.

"I just saw Abi cuek the same girl" said Ms. Lyli.

"Maybe because he doesn't like me that much." Ms. Lyli just raised her eyebrows and smiled I immediately went to look for Madina. But my mind is still flogging with what Abi said.

Why would he say that? This was actually the second time he said and advised me.

You must be wondering why I'm not polite to call him by name without frills. I don't know why my tongue feels comfortable by calling Abi without frills kak, mas or bang. I don't know if I feel close enough to call him 'Abi'.

--------- Happy Reading----------------------

It has been a week I always come home late because of the preparation of the race, starting from the class race, mading race, declamation race and many more races.

Although I was not included in the class device, but I had triggered some of my ideas. And I represent the class to take the race of declamation or to read poetry with a certain movement according to the content of the poem. In addition, I also became a creative in the mading race.

Today there are sports competitions and calligraphy, so today the activities will be outside the classroom.

"Mut, aren't you going to the back court?" asked Mirza who was sitting on the bench Mira, while the children were finishing mading by putting up articles and coloring some parts.

"Why indeed?" I wondered and looked towards Mirza.

"Our class will want to fight XII-IPA 2 children in the final." Mirza said she looked strangely at me. I am indeed an insensitive person, but I am not too stupid to interpret body movements and facial expressions.

"Owh, it's the fourth row, this continues it's still two."

"Who's backing?" asked Mirza in a seductive tone.

"meaning?" the bodo time.

"Oh, I don't understand." I folded the paper back on the table.

"What the hell," I said as I hit her on the shoulder, because my origami was finished. This origami will be used to decorate the mading.

"Udah deh ngaku, yesterday I saw you menenin kak Hasan at the bus stop," said Mirza up and down his eyebrows.

"Continue?" tanyaku relax. I'm just surprised there's something wrong with that. But I hid my astonishment by pretending to respond casually to his words.

"Well, honestly, what's the relationship?" ask him seriously.

"You if I honestly believe me, don't you?" tanyaku relax.

"If honestly how?"

"There's no relationship."

"If lying?" ask Mirza astonished.

"There's no connection" I said, then moved from my seat and joined the others. I gave my origami to Husain to be installed.

Actually, my mouth was eager to ask about the problem yesterday but I paused because I did not want to force, I thought if indeed he wanted to share would definitely tell the story by itself.

"Temenin I take print out yuk," asked Shinta without waiting for a response, he had put his brush and pulled my hand out of class to the school cooperative that is near the building of class XII IPS.

"Aren't they all taken?" I walk beside him. Because as far as I was concerned some articles have been installed.

"Less than two sheets, it was still borrowed and read by Bimbim." This is Shinta, she rarely speaks. He only answered as necessary and we fell silent because no one had the talking material.

"Shin," call someone from the right side, I see Lisa's sister and Bimbim's brother approaching.

"Yes, brother," replied Shinta softly.

"This is your article, cool." Brother Bimbim gave the paper to Shinta then he looked at me with a meaningful smile that I could not guess.

"Lo Mutia right?" ask Lisa in a relaxed tone, it seems like my senior this one is included in the friendly senior category.

"Yes, brother" I replied slowly.

"Lo know, I'm really curious about you," said Lisa enthusiastically. I frowned.

"Why brother?" shinta asked, already representing myself to ask. And it looks like I've been exposed to a virus called acute wonder.

"Lo don't know?" ask Lisa full of puzzles. Me and Shinta compactly shook their heads.

"Gue also does not know," said Lisa's sister relaxed and immediately got the news from Bimbim's sister.

"Damn you, I was curious. Eh lo instead just play the word," said brother Bimbim sewot and say goodbye to us followed by sister Lisa who immediately scuttled away.

"I think there's something that Lisa's sister has kept a secret" Shinta said as I watched Lisa and Bimbim's brother's silly interactions. They looked so familiar, there was a whisper in the heart cavity to feel envious.

"What?"

"Where do I know," said Shinta to leave me and I soon caught up with her.

Arriving at the class the article was immediately installed despite making a little fuss due to Husain and Tiara's frown. I'm happy to see this compactness, it feels like I have a lot of brothers.

---------------------

"To the back court yuk," asked Shinta when we just returned from the bathroom washing hands exposed to watercolor used to dye mading.

"Come," I replied briefly. Today the children who are members of the OSIS, PMR, Scouts and other large organizations become the race committee, so because I am not included in the committee makes me able to breathe a little relieved not to participate in the busyness.

"Mutia," Erly cried and immediately hugged me.

"Kangen knows," said the spoiled Erly tightening his embrace.

"Woe, Mutia can't breathe if you dekep like that." Madina's voice breaks Erly's embrace.

Then in a big way he apologized and saw my whole body reassuring me that my body was fine.

After we joked for a while, Madina and Erly decided to go to the sausage room to pick up her bag and promised to follow soon. We rushed to the back field.

But when we walked through the IPS corridor by accident my feet nudged the legs of one of the senior hordes who was sitting and joking, when I had avoided, ah maybe I was less focused. It turned out that God loved me, because I was not allowed to fall I just squandered a little. The incident made my friends hysterically unclear.

"Lo not papa?" tiara asked with an anxious look on her face.

"No papa." Then I looked towards the group of seniors who were crowding one senior whose legs might hurt, as Shinta was about to step with her flat face I prevented her from pulling her uniform and shaking her head.

"Sorry sis, I didn't accidentally," I said softly and crouched down in front of the senior.

"Is anyone hurt?" I asked again, I saw a grimacing expression on his face, it seemed that the senior was enduring the pain.

"Lo doesn't have eyes, the way is clear." A senior in a ponytail said harshly and helped the senior to stand up.

"I'm sorry I didn't accidentally." I bow my head. I felt my shoulders being pulled to stand.

"Lo shouldn't be apologizing, I saw that Desi mang accidentally lakukin' it so you fall." Shinta said flatly.

"Lo don't be rude and where's your manners towards seniors?"

"Gue will be polite to people I consider worthy and you don't seem worthy." Shinta answered out loud and had the support of the others.

"Udah Shin, don't extend it." I whispered to Shinta hoping she understood, she just looked flat and pulled my hand while saying."Today, I think you failed. Sorry I don't seem to put your expression on."

I only gawked when I heard it and immediately balanced my body that was pulled by Shinta. And faintly I saw Shinta pull the corner of her lips, making her look cruel and cold making me shudder in horror.

"Thank you Shin," I said softly and it seemed that he heard.

"Not a problem." He returned to being the Shinta I knew was calm and not talking much, he suddenly stopped and looked at me, because we both walked on the front making everything stop.

"Why?" ask Tiara.

"You guys go first." Shinta said casually and was told by all the evidence of mereia walking first.

"What's wrong?" I was surprised to see the waves.

"Corridor XII-IPA" he whispered quietly.

"What's in there?" ask me to whisper following Shinta's way of speaking.

"Look, but don't be too obvious!"

"Let's go," I said casually, making a frown on Shinta's forehead. I know he seems to be thinking hard, maybe he's wondering why I'm not trying to steal a glance towards the IPA corridor. But he didn't seem to know that by walking so easily he could see there without anyone suspecting.

How surprised I was when I looked towards the corridor I saw Brother Dilan who looked at me cynically as if saying 'lo just for trouble' made me glare and stomp my feet.

"Lo why?" tanya Shinta caught up with me who suddenly walked faster.

"No papa, another sprain with brother Dilan."

"Why indeed?"

"She was very cute, every time she met the innate goiter deh."

"Well, you know Dilan?" tanya Shinta seems suspicious that I'm not feeling well.

"That we seem to come together and often Mr. Hasan includes him in such talks and often we always debate because of our different opinions." I saw Shinta nod, it meant that she understood what I said.

Arriving on the field we immediately joined the others, there were already many students who wanted to see, because this match was my class against the class of the basketball captain.

I sat on the front bench, while Shinta took a seat on the back bench, she said she didn't like sports too much. We joked together and gave each other support for the players.

Mirza sat down next to me saying, "guys losing win is not our goal, but a strong effort and build strength together is our goal."

"Again," they said.

"Tumben sage, abis eat what the hell?" manyu tease.

"Gue abis burn the book quote keeps his ashes I love water and I drink." Mirza answered seriously to make us all speechless and then immediately railed Mirza because of the words that really upset it.

The boisterous sound seems to make our class look so compact, we throw each other jokes that sometimes feel crisp, but do not reduce cheerfulness and happiness.

Until a moment of sudden silence approached, and it made me wonder as I looked towards Tiara he looked at a point that was towards Mirza, and then he looked at her, although Mirza was sitting next to me but I tilted my seat to the right so it seemed to be behind her. I confirmed my seat with the intention of seeing what was keeping them quiet, and it turned out that what made the silence was a tall, strapping figure and wearing a basketball uniform that was standing in front of Mirza. I wonder what brought him here.
