The Foreign Taste

The Foreign Taste
High School Entrance Exam



And the day of SMAN 2 entrance exam Y city also arrived.


Ranum and Kania set off together on foot for about fifteen minutes. Once there, the two found that there were already many students who would take the test.


When we got there, the new clock showed seven hours, less than a quarter. There was still about half an hour more before the entrance examination began.


Kania and Ranum then searched the room and the table with their exam takers' numbers.


After knowing where each would sit later, the two chose to sit waiting in front of one of the classes.


While waiting, the two reopen some theoretical notes or memorization that they thought would come out in the exam.


It didn't feel like half an hour had passed. Now it seems that more and more students are attending and participating in the exam that time.


About 5 minutes before the exam began, Kania invited Ranum into the class.


"Sister, get in the yuk. Five minutes to go" said Kania, waking up from his seat.


"Yeah!" Sahut Ranum's.


Ranum then collected the notes and papers he had used for Physics training. After that he immediately woke up to catch up with Kania who had already entered the class.


Gabruk!


"Dude!" Ranum.


He accidentally hit someone when he was about to turn around. Some of his notes and pencils fell off.


"sorry. Excuse me. I didn't intentionally!" Ranum.


"Okay. no problem," answered the voice that sounded a bit barito. Male voice.


Ranum did not raise his face to look at the man he hit. He focused on gathering his things as soon as possible.


When he looked for his 2B pencil, he found another 2B pencil. The 2B pencil was definitely not his. Because there is a red rubber winding on the top of the pencil. While his pencil was plain, there was nothing.


After searching for some time, Ranum did not find his pencil. 'What was the taper and the pencil?' Ranum.


'yes, yes, yes. Ah ah ah ah. Just use the one that was there first.'


And then Ranum rushed into the classroom.

The SMAN 2 Y city entrance exam takes place in an orderly manner. At half-time the exam begins.


There are 60 multiple choice questions that are composed of theories or calculation problems from Seven lessons (Mathematics, Indonesian, English, Physics, Biology, History and Geography). The time allotted to complete all sixty of those matters was 120 minutes.


So when the bell rang at half ten, all the examinees gathered their test papers to the supervisory table.


And before leaving the class, each supervisor provides information on the date of announcement of students who passed the entrance selection. After that, all the students left the class.


There's a sour face. There are some with confident faces. There are some who have ordinary faces. It was the expression of all those students.


When Ranum and Kania were already outside the classroom, Ranum found his sister was grinning indistinctly.


"Why the hell, Nia?" Ask Ranum.


"I'm sure I can pass, brother!" Say Kania with so much confidence.


"Hush. Istighfar you, Dek. Can't be arrogant!" Tegur Ranum's.


"Hehe. because it looks like a passing exam yesterday anyway. Isn't it sister?" Kania Seru.


"Yes anyway. There are only a few things I don't understand. It's about building space. I don't think there's a suitable answer in his abc. I've counted many times still not in the choice of answers," said Ranum.


Both of them walked to the school exit. With them there are also many who want to go home immediately after the test. Although there are also those who are seen sitting relaxed on the edge of the field or in front of the class.


"The hell, brother? Seinget Nia fitting count the matter of building the space there is a choice of the answer," said Kania.


"Don't know either. Already ah. Now where is this. It's still early morning. What if we go to the City? Last week I saw a new collection of books!" Take Ranum.


"Novel is there, too?" Ask Kania.


"I think there is. Mystery novels but. Writings of who yes. Mm. if not wrong most of his new novels by Samantha Christie deh."


Kania pitched for a moment. And suddenly they heard a strange coughing sound. Like the person who is holding back laughter.


Ranum didn't know which teenage boy was coughing. But Ranum felt the teenager's cough was like it was intended for his words.


'what's wrong with my words?' Ranum.


It was only when he found Kania who suddenly laughed, that he finally knew what was wrong.


"Aahaha! Big brother sucked really. As far as Nia is concerned, the author of a mystery novel in the library is Agatha Christie. Not Samantha Christie!"


Ranum blinked his eyes feeling confused.


"Ehh? Is it yes? Know too. Brother forgot. You don't like to read novels very much" Kilah Ranum.


"And Brother also sucks if asked to name. At that time, his son Bu Dar who wanted to pedekate in Brother even Brother changed his name as well as he used to. From Mas Gilang to Mas Alang. How does the person not directly ill feel am I brother try?"


Reminded of his memory in remembering names, Ranum became embarrassed.


Kania's words have a point. Ranum is terrible at remembering names. Therefore he was worried that this deficiency would adversely affect his ideals later, becoming a teacher of Mathematics.


"Yahaha!!"


Ranum and Kania looked back again. Seen a skinny teenage boy with a height was holding back laughter.The teenage friends of the man were astonished to see it.


"Why, lu? Suddenly laughing was unclear," asked a teenager in thick glasses.


"Hahaha.nothing. Suddenly a funny thing," replied the teenager.


Whether true or not, but Ranum's hunch says that the teenage boy behind him had eavesdropped on his conversation with Kania and


then laugh.


Ranum narrowed his eyes towards the teenage boy. Before long the teenage boy seemed to realize that he was being noticed by Ranum.


The young man then turned a wide smile towards Ranum. Seen by Ranum, the tooth is shuffled to the right of the row of teeth of the man. Makes the guy look pretty sweet.


"Sir Ranum! If the road looks ahead. Later look back can make-watch out, sister!"


Kania's warning to Ranum seems a little late. Ranum would have fallen into the edge of the gutter if no strong hand had pulled him from behind.


Ranum also hit the shoulder of the arm that pulled his hand earlier. When he turned his head, it turned out that the one who had just helped him was a teenage boy who Ranum said laughed at him.


After being stunned for a moment, Ranum immediately removed his arm from the teenager and thanked him.


"Thank you."


The young man replied with a big smile and replied.


"Okay. Take care of ya!" And the group of teenage boys passed through Kania and Ranum who were still still glued.


"Luckily, there was someone who pulled Big Brother's hand. Try it not. Along the way home Brother can bring the smell of the gutter where. By the way, did you know that guy?"


Ranum who was still in a daze answered what he was.


"No. Don't know."


"Ooh. kirain knows. If you know you want to know that. His face was sweet."


Noticing the direction of Kania's chat, Ranum immediately reprimanded him.


"Just finished the entrance exam, the time is already willing to find a bustle. Get to the perpus now. At 1 we're home."


Gaining Ranum's reprimand, Kania pursed her lips.


"Hu uh. Ranum's brother is not cool ah. What's wrong with having a lot of money. Having a lot of scuffles is also not a problem. I have so many options for a girlfriend."


"Makin ngawur aja nih. The road is paved. It's getting hot."


And the two girls went away. Along with many other entrance examination participants.


Someone headed to his friend's house to play. To the traditional market for shopping. To the local library located at the crossroads of the road. Or put their feet back into their homes.


Head home.
