The White Ash Scandal

New day, new semester

Morning mentari has been pushing on the horizon, thousands of students are now filling the school area to attend a routine ceremony every Monday.

Atlanthea Rafaella, Dita Hanindia, and Annette Kiel stood at the very front of the line. Even though their bodies are tall, they still want to be at the front. This is not Atlanthea's desire, but Dita's. He said, "Let's see the cogan from the front".

The ceremony was solemn, the end of the event was closed with the inauguration of OSIS members. Anne encouraged Dita who is now taking pictures after the inauguration.

"Ciee.. Her name has been changed to red" Anne poked Dita's chin. They walked down the corridor towards his class while occasionally laughing.

But in the middle of the joke, they saw a crowd of people who were huddled while whispering.

Dita, the gossipmonger, his ears itchy at the passing of the whisper. "What the hell is that?" Dita shifted the person in front of her to see what was happening there.

"That's the golden boy, who said he had this school!" Answer one of the students.

"They're really cute"

"Emang pantes on said golden boy, sparkling man!"

"The girl is cute too, just looks like a real judes"

"Which Arnold is it?"

"I'm wrapping one"

"Bang, lyrics me dong"

An uninterested Anne immediately leaves the crowd, leaving Dita and forcing Thea to pull her arm. The girl was a little curious, but Anne had already taken her away.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Classes were crowded, the first and second lesson hours went well. Now everyone is gathered in the canteen for lunch.

Announcement sounds interrupted from the broadcast room, notice delivered by OSIS chairman, Diego Lennard Yang.

"Announcement for all 10th grade students of Saint Miller High School, is required after school to gather for an exculpation. Place and time will be announced via Saint Miller's website"

Those who had interrupted resumed their activities again.

"Eh! The golden boy, eating in the cafeteria too no?" Another student started a conversation.

"That maybe they want to be like us-we, continue to stick to buy food" replied another student.

"Do they have their own canteen?" Dita followed the conversation.

"They have their own room, rich basecamp. They usually spend time there"

"Lo know where the room is?" Thea spoke up.

"In deket sports hall if not wrong"

"Lo ever been there?" Dita pulled out her kepengku.

"That's it, only ever seen from outside the doang"

Thea and Dita looked at each other, they had the same thoughts. Anne focused on her food.

"Don't tell me you're going there?!" Anne stopped the chew and kept the empty plate away.

No one answered, Thea and Dita went back to eating the food that was almost cold.

"Udahlah! You guys don't need to take care of that unimportant golden boy. Bita! You mending focus on finding out how to dapetin Kak Diego aja! And you Thea, focus on the game!" Anne commemorated her two friends.

"An Anne said the golden boy doesn't matter?" We don't believe what Anne said.

Anne put her shoulder out, "Emang doesn't have anything to do with you guys, right? So no need to urinate"

"But I'm Anne's kepo, what do they think they're doing?" Thea admitted, she was very curious.

"They did not participate in the exculpation" The sudden presence of a man named Airlangga Dwi Hariz sitting between their tables.

All three were surprised by the arrival of his upperclassman, he was a member of OSIS who had guided them when MPLS.

"Well, where do you know from?" Dita asked.

"That's it, I know them. I met a few times and went into their basecamp" he said casually.

"Huh? Seriously? How's it going?"

"Gue their outer manager, take care of their needs and problems the same as all the students here"

"Well! Can't we know them?"

"Gue wasn't sure" Angga glanced at Anne and they clashed. Angga smiled, while Anne just silently did not respond.

Anne seemed to know the meaning of that gaze. He didn't like Angga, he wasn't comfortable, Anne left the cafeteria.

"Eh Anne, where are you going?" Thea half-screamed at Anne's sudden and selfless departure.

"Eh Brother Angga, we go first! Bye" Pamit Dita to her upperclassman.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

After school, they were required to gather with the exkul club. 3 friends separated because they chose different excursions.

Thea, forced to play basketball, Anne joins a music club and Dita chooses a swimming club.

Atlanthea walked gontai towards the basketball division sports building. When entering the GOR area, he saw that many had gathered, not only basketball but there were other clubs as well. Volleyball, badminton, takraw and tennis.

They're sitting with nothing on the GOR floor. Atlanthea approached the basketball court and sat in the back row.

But the delay Atlanthea realized by the head of the basketball team as well as his coach.

"The first time I've been together is late!" The heavy voice commemorates Atlanthea, a sharp gaze, he was wearing a sleeveless basketball sports uniform, looks sturdy muscles shiny because of his white skin color.

"Sorry, you went to the toilet first" Sesal Atlanthea.

"Gue doesn't accept any alesan! Once again you're late, you'll be my law!" Threatened him.

The sixpack man was an 11th grader, the head of the men's basketball team and basketball coach, Samudrian Nathaniel Philia.

Handsome, cool, good basketball, dream of women as SMA Saint Miller.

Atlanthea just looked down unwilling to answer, he was a little upset because his first day of training he had a bad impression. He better go home and play games with his friends.

Because of that, he remembered yesterday Atlanthea had a fight with his 4 friends about slot tournaments and calls to join in VVV esport. Clearly, they initially rejected and defended their idealism. But there are some things that make them want to not accept the offer.

Need money? Yep! They need money, especially the twins Gio and Dio.

The flashback

They connected a group video call on a discord, as usual.

After Atlanthea explained the offer, they finally argued.

"Gue gamau, want whatever the reason" Leon remains clumsy on his idealism.

"Gue ngikut Leon aja deh" Abi did not want to argue Leon.

"Lumayan money, our team will also be famous" persuaded Atlanthea.

"When what about Yo?" Abi asked the twins, they seemed silent and did not respond.

Dio and Gio had only been listening to the debate.

"Gue actually need money again, but if you do not want and can not ya gapapa, I do not want maksa. Especially since Leon did not want to join any esports" said Dio.

"What do you need money for?"

"For this semester's fee, I diphk nyokap, so I have to earn my own money" his mother is a single fighter, he takes care of both twins alone.

"Gue already dapet part time anyway, I had the same interview that had a cafe in Blok M" said Gio.

"Part time?"

Gio just nodded.

Atlanthea sighed, not expecting her friend to be in economic crisis.

"Gue can help, but can't do much, I'll transfer it for more". To be honest, Atlanthea could not bear to hear the news.

"Yes, I don't want you guys, it's my problem with Dio"

Leon is seen removing the earphones and leaving his gaming chair. The 20-year-old was apparently disappointed by the conflict between his teammates.

"Sorry, I'm not supposed to discuss my personal issues" Dio said.

"You should have told the same story as us"

"Gue help transfer, make your school fees on. I have savings, use it first" Abi also pity.

"Gausah woi, we gapapa, don't need our kisses"

"Pake first, change later but. Any time, gapapa"

Shortly, Leon returns.

"okay! We join Triple V" break up Leon.

The four friends looked at Leon's face from the monitor with shocked and incredulous looks. Huh huh? Leon's? Agreed?

Did they not hear wrong?
