The Winter Promise

Chapter 31: The First Steps to a New Life.

The opening ceremony was over and the three of us wanted to go to our class. I still can't believe what happened at the closing. It turns out that Rina and Miyuki are in the same school

with me. At first, I thought that Rina and Miyuki would go to Cibubur High School.

Just as we went out of the hall, Rina and Miyuki were already there and were waiting for us. When he saw us coming out of the hall, Miyuki and Rina immediately approached us.

“Hi all of you..”

Lina greeted us as if there was nothing she needed to explain to me. I know very well that he enjoys seeing me confused like this.

“Oi... Looks like there's something you should explain to me here.”

“Hehehehe..”.

Lina just laughed a little when I asked that.

“Why are you here, shouldn't you be in Cibubur High School?”

“No Ar, now I've entered in this school.”

“Then your recommendation?”

“Actually from the beginning I did intend to enter SMK majoring in Pharmacy. But the SMK I got is different from your choice.”

“Why don't you just take it, isn't it a pity to throw away your recommendation like that.”

I still can't accept that Rina is in the same school as me.

“Didn't I tell you Ar... That I'm gonna tear down your idealism. Where might I be able to tear down your idealism if our school is different.”

Is he serious about it? I did tell him to tear down my idealism as much as possible, but I didn't expect it to make him throw away his recommendation. Cibubur High School is included in

in a favorite school, deck out with the house again.

“What do your parents think of this? I'd be bad if you came in here just because of that.”

“Just relax, my parents always allow me to enter any school as long as I am happy to live it.”

Woahs... I just found out that Rina's parents belong to the parents who released her child. I guess they're more strict and strict in educating their children.

“In addition Miyuki!... Why did you come in here too?”

“Why are you Mar, tumben once you noisy like this.”

Riki rebuked me because I was not calm as usual.

“Of course, somehow I feel that I have just been betrayed by someone.”

“Didn't I tell you that Ar, that Miyuki went to the same school as me.”

Then I remembered the words of Rina while on Mount Prau. At that time I asked him about the school Miyuki entered and he said that Miyuki went to the same school. Long before that I asked him about the completeness of the file for a re-list, and I finally realized something of the conversation. During the conversation, Rina never said that the file she completed was a re-list file at Cibubur High School.

Ah shit, why can't I realize that so quickly. Where is my deductive ability that I once was proud of.

When it comes to deduction skills, I haven't gotten anything that makes me think harder than usual. Maybe because all this time I didn't get too much trouble so I never used it again.

“From your face, it looks like you already know where your fault lies.”

Lina smiled a little at me.

“Oh Yes Fuyumi! Why are you with the two of them?”

Miyuki also asked Kichida who was still silent to my conversation with Rina.

“We met in the front mading, and also we were in the same class, so I could be with them both.”

“What! You're in class with both of them?”

Lina was surprised after hearing that.

“Next..”.

Miyuki looked envious of the circumstances Kichida had. Fortunately, the one in my class is Kichida instead of Miyuki. At least when viewed from the attitude of him all this time, he is not the type of person who can make me become a hassle.

“Which class are you in?”

“We entered in the Multimedia D class, why Rina?”

“No, I I'm just curious.”

“Hmmm..”

“Oi friends, we better go to class right now. I think the class will be starting soon.”

Kichida remembers us talking in front of the hall.

“Oh you're right..”

I also saw my watch.

“But where is Maul? I guess he'll be hanging out with us here too. I'm sure she must have been surprised to learn that Miyuki and Rina attended the same school.”

Riki was still looking inside the hall to look for Maul.

“Now, maybe he has found a new friend and has now gone to class with her.”

Yes, because Maul is very different from me. He is the kind of person who gets along easily with anyone.

We immediately went to our class and parted ways with Rina and Miyuki. There were some members of OSIS standing guard around the field to tell the students about their classes.

“Sorry my sister would like to ask, Multimedia D class where ya?”

Riki asked very politely.

“You go to that building in the middle, second floor.”

The OSIS brother answered Riki's question with great care. I'm sure he's just competing like that.

It is like that the behavior of members of the OSIS when the orientation period. Many of them showed cold, fierce, and assorted attitudes to get sympathy from new students so that they could be known. I want to laugh seeing someone like that.

“Thank you Kak.”

We went straight to the place we just called.

“Apaan it's his attitude, arrogant once.”

It turns out I'm not the only one who thinks like that. Kichida agrees with me.

“It's already Kichida's usual, you should familiarize him for the next three days. Because there will be more troublesome people than him.”

I also gave Kichida advice.

“Is it really like that? I didn't know it.”

Heeee...

We finally arrived at our class. When I entered the classroom, I felt a chill stinging my body. At that time my eyes were immediately fixed on the air conditioner in my class. I did not know that this class had air conditioning, because in my Junior High School there was no such thing as air conditioning. Let alone air conditioning, we have no fan, but fortunately the air in my school was not hot, but,

so it's not too much of a problem.

I also noticed every empty stool in the class. The empty bench I want is a bench that is in one row before the back row, but the average bench that is in the back is already full occupied by other students. The remaining empty stool is only the bench on the front.

“We want to sit where Mar?”

Riki asked me who was looking for the best bench for us to sit on.

“Shortly, let me think first.”

“Good.”

Then Kichida walked to one of the empty benches in the front row and sat there.

“We sit on an empty bench that is behind Kichida only Rik.”

“Why should it be there?”

“How else, the bench I want to occupy already has someone occupy it first, and now only the bench behind Kichida alone that I think is very suitable for us to sit.”

“Alright then.”

And we started walking to the bench we chose and sitting there. Since no member of OSIS has yet entered the class, I also plan to take a short nap.

“Oi Rik, I'm going to take a nap... If anyone comes to class, please wake me up.”

I folded my hands on the table and started trying to sleep.

“You are Mar... This is the first day you enter SMK loh, you should be a little more excited.”

Riki also reprimanded after seeing me trying to sleep.

“Nothing can get me excited besides the bedtime to replace my reduced sleep this morning.”

The noise in the classroom made me unable to fall asleep. I would love to clog my ears with earphones but during the orientation period we are not allowed to carry a cell phone.

Then from Kichida's desk I heard a female voice coming up to him and asking Kichida to speak. Out of curiosity, I woke up and saw who it was.

“Is this seat empty?”

I don't know him... Wait, what book did Kichida read!? It uses all Japanese letters.

My attention was distracted by the book Kichida was reading.

“Iya, this seat is empty.”

“Can I sit here?”

“Of course, please.”

Kichida also moved his bag that was previously placed in an empty chair beside him and the woman immediately sat there.

“My name is Natasha, what's your name?”

So that woman's name is Natasha.

“My name is Kichida, greetings know.”

Hmmmm... I guess Kichida's the kind of person who can't get along with new people. He was quite friendly too.

“By the way what book did you read that? Looks exciting.”

Natasha immediately used the book Kichida was reading as the topic of her conversation. It was a wise decision to extend the conversation. If you succeed you will get along with him.

Be excited!

“Ohh... This is a light novel that is being talked about in my country. Do you want to read it too? I have several series before.”

Kichida immediately offered the novel he was reading.

Light novels?I don't know why I just heard something like that.

“Are you from Japan?”

“Yes, I went to school there until I graduated elementary school. When SMP I moved here because my father was transferred.”

“Create that!? It must be so cool that Japan is. One day I aspired to go there.”

Natasha seemed very interested and wanted to ask Kichida a lot

Then Natasha also realized that from earlier I was watching the conversation of the two of them. He immediately looked at me.

“Include, my name is Natasha.”

Natasha introduced herself to me and Riki.

Looks like he's a good kid.

“I Riki, greetings know.”

Riki introduced himself excitedly.

“I Amar, greetings know..”

Not long after we got acquainted, I also heard a commotion coming from the front of the class. Suddenly all the students in front of the class went straight into the classroom. I think the lesson will begin soon.

When all students are in class, two members of the OSIS enter our class. The two members of OSIS were Kak Fauzi and a woman who at the opening ceremony hosted the event together with Kak Fauzi.

“Good morning everyone... How does it feel to first day in SMK?”

Brother Fauzi immediately greeted us all kindly. All students answered this question with a variety of answers.

“Before starting, I want to introduce myself first. Brother's name, Fauzi Alfiansyah. You can call brother Fauzi.”

Brother Fauzi also introduced himself, and at that time I only knew the long name of Kak Fauzi. Although he used to serve as the head of OSIS at my Junior High School, I don't really care about him.

“If sister's name, Ayu Kartika. Commoner brother called Ayu.”

Ayu introduced herself very sweetly. I even heard some men sitting in the back whispering about Ayu.

“Starting today, Ayu and I will be mentors of your class during this orientation time. Oh yes, sister wants to read the rules during the orientation period first.”

Mr. Fauzi also read out the rules during orientation. We also shared a guidebook that will be used during student orientation.

“Now you all go forward one by one to introduce yourself. I'm sure there are still many classmates who do not know the same you guys. Please introduce yourself in front of the class

brother call one by one at random... Muhammad Akbar Dhiaurrahman.”

Why did he tell us to introduce ourselves when he mentioned our names. It's strange!

A man stood up and then immediately came forward confidently. I'm sure he's the type of man whose nature is not much different from Riki's.

“Include name, school origin, hobbies, same reasons for entering multimedia.”

I saw the man preparing himself.

“My name is Muhammad Akbar Dhiaurrahman, from the school of Tanah Abang Junior High School, the reason for entering multimedia because he wants to be an animator.”

“It's great to be an animator. Yes, please sit down. Now Riki Ryandi.”

When mentioning that name, Brother Fauzi slightly smiled. Looks like he already knows that Riki and I are in this class. Riki also came forward gallantly. The aura he emitted was not much different from Amar.

“My name is Riki Ryandi, from Cibubur Junior High School, the reason for entering multimedia because I think a little interesting.”

“Interesting? What's interesting tuh?”

Ayu's sister was curious about the reason for Riki.

“Entai, just pull.”

Riki's answer also made all the students in the class laugh including Kak Fauzi and Kak Ayu.

“Good... Alrighty.. Please sit back. Now Natasha Adelia.”

Natasha went ahead.

“My name is Natasha Adelia, from Gambir Middle School, the reason for entering multimedia because I want to become a designer.”

“Enjoy yes to achieve that, please sit back. This seems like a special person... Kichida Fuyumi.”

Kichida came forward with the gazes of the students who were very focused on him. This is because only Kichida comes from Japan in this class, while the others are Indonesian.

“My name is Kichida Fuyumi, from the school from Jakarta International Japanese School, the reason for getting into multimedia because I want to become a mangaka.”

“Although from Japanese School, but your Indonesian language is fluent huh?”

Kak Fauzi praised Kichida for speaking fluent Indonesian.

“That's because I've lived here for three years and my Indonesian friend is also a lot.”

“Hei Rik, what is mangaka?”

I asked Riki about it.

“I also don't know, maybe the person who likes to eat mango.”

"It has something to do with multimedia."

“That's why in Indonesia it is called komikus aka the person who makes comics.”

Brother Fauzi who heard my question immediately answered him.

“Alright Kichida, please sit down. Amar, you go forward now!”

Huh...! Finally my turn came.

I also went to the front of the class. Now all the students' eyes are on me. To be honest, I'm not very comfortable with this kind of situation. If I could I would like to finish it quickly.

“My name is Amarul Ihsan, from Cibubur Junior High School, the reason for entering multimedia because my recommendation letter recommends this school and major, so I took it.”

Again all the students laughed with his introduction. I don't know what makes them laugh, I don't think there's anything funny about my introduction.

“It turns out you're the one who resigned as well huh... Have seat. Next..”

The introductions continued until all the students were.

“Alright, because everyone is acquainted. I hope you're all good friends because you'll all be together for three more years. And as you said before, since you are the mentor here, you along with Kak Ayu will guide you during this orientation period. Your class name during orientation is after effect. So who here wants to be squad leader?”

The atmosphere became silent, not a single student was willing to take on such a troublesome burden. I don't know if they find it troublesome or if they're just embarrassed.

“OK if no one wants to be squad leader, big brother will choose it randomly.”

Then Fauzi looked at me and Riki.

Ahhar... I felt something troublesome was going to happen.

Brother Fauzi smiled a little.

“Kakak has decided, who will be the chairman and representative of this squad are Riki and Amar. Give her claps all.”

The students also applauded us. I heard there are some students who are grateful for not being elected as squad leaders.

I also breathed quite a long breath. I've guessed this before, but still... Trouble is still troublesome.
