The Winter Promise

Chapter 32: Whatever I Will Do For My New Peaceful Life.

Right now I am in a very troublesome situation for me. Though this was my first day in this school, why did they not allow me to live my usual quiet life.

Previously, Kak Fauzi had asked all the students in this class to apply to become the squad leader of this class, but none of them would be willing to do so. Finally, Kak Fauzi chose randomly the students who were in this class. I don't think this was done randomly. Ever since Brother Fauzi got into this class and became our mentor, I'm sure he's been talking to both of us about doing this.

“Sorry, but I can't accept that decision.”

I also strongly rejected this decision.

I dare to do this not because I already know Mr. Fauzi, but because I want to protect my new peaceful life. Even if someone else makes this decision, I will oppose him, even if it's the head of OSIS or the principal.

“Do you know them Zi?”

Ayu asked Fauzi who wanted to serve me.

“I've known them from SMP. They're the underclassmen I told you about and Alvin.”

What did he tell them about me? Did he tell you anything about me.

“Do you have any reason why you should resign?”

He must be testing me.

“I think it's better if the other manager is a woman. After all, in this class, the female students are almost half of them, there must be some students who are awkward when it comes to talking to men. What else they don't know the man well.”

That should be my reason it makes sense.

“Hmm... You're right too, we can't allow that.”

Brother Fauzi thought a little about his decision again.

Yes... It seems that soon I will be free from this troublesome task.

“Well then, who is the student in this class who wants to replace Amar to become the class manager for a while?”

Brother Fauzi asked back to all the students, but again they fell silent not to answer questions from Kak Fauzi.

You all are fucking! Are you doing this intentionally.

“Anu... For example, no one wants to replace Amar. I can replace him.”

My goddess of salvation has arrived!

Natasha points at his hand and intends to replace Amar as the class manager.

“Oke, it's decided yes. The temporary class managers for this class are Riki and Natasha. You two please come forward.”

Brother Fauzi also told the two of them to come forward.

“Thank you Natasha, thanks to you my peaceful life has been saved. I will always remember your service.”

“Tenlah Mar... I didn't do anything that valuable kok.”

“No! I think it's something very valuable. I'm so grateful.”

Natasha and Riki also advanced to the front of the class to be appointed as caretakers of the temporary class by Kak Fauzi and Kak Ayu.

“Why do you clean hard not want to be a hard manager? I think it's the fastest way to class this class, besides maybe you will also be known by other classes as well.”

Kichida asked me about my decision earlier.

“Do you think that I am someone that many people want to know?”

“Seems not.”

“That you already know it yourself.”

Because I don't really like being known to so many people at times like this.

You all must have known. The beginning of school is a time when all classroom management is chosen, and at that time also becoming famous is something that is very dangerous for you. You see, if you are famous, then more and more people will appoint you to be the class manager. That's a very troublesome thing for me.

What else if the teacher is a person who does not want to take a fuss and immediately choose arbitrarily. For sure he will follow the decisions of the most people and choose that person. I really don't want to do that.

I have been quite satisfied to undergo my duties as vice-chairman of the class when in Junior High then because of the actions of my homeroom teacher who matches absent numbers with dates.

I really want to debut my peaceful life.

“From now on they are the two who will be the administrators of this class when this orientation time event takes place. Please applaud him first.”

Kak Fauzi also made an unofficial inauguration to Riki and Natasha. All the students in the class applauded the two of them. I saw the happy faces of all of them.

Then Kak Fauzi also gave to Riki and Natasha a pile of books that will be distributed to us later. It looks like the book was a playbook during this orientation period.

“You two, for now your task is to make a yel-yel for this class. Discuss it with all your classmates.”

Fauzi's brother gave orders to Riki and Natasha.

Fortunately, I got away with this.

“Yel-yel? What is it for?”

“Yel-yel it will be used during the mos event only. Make sure you make it very festive yes!”

Brother Fauzi gave advice to the two of them.

Riki and Natasha started sharing the book with all the students there.

What is the content of this book?

When I received the book, I opened it and saw what was inside. It turns out that what is in it is the arrangement of events during the orientation period, items that need to be brought during the orientation period, SMK Sawah Besar march, and the current list of OSIS members.

After sharing the book, Riki immediately tried to familiarize himself with other friends, of course Natasha did the same thing with Riki. They also discussed together about the yel-yel that they will make.

While discussing I was a little surprised by the attitude of my classmates. At first I thought they were just people who didn't care about their circumstances and tried to play in their comfort zone. But it turns out they're more active than I thought. It can be seen from the often they give input to Riki and Natasha about the yel-yel to be made. As I expected from the high school. Surely the children who enter here are not just any children.

Huahh... My eyes are so heavy, I better go to the toilet first to wash my face.

I also stood up from my chair, then I approached Kak Ayu who was near me to ask for permission.

“My brother permission to go to the toilet.”

“Please.”

After getting permission, I rushed to the toilet.

While walking in the hallway, I occasionally looked at the other classes through the glass. I just saw people talking about something. It seems like every class does the same thing.

I continued walking until I was almost at the tolilet, but from a distance I saw a woman who was being teased by an upperclassman.

I tried to ignore it and kept walking into the male toilet. But as I approached, the woman ran up to me and took cover behind me. It turned out that the woman I saw was none other than Miyuki.

Why Miyuki could be in front of the second floor female toilet. Isn't his class he's on the third floor and there's a toilet too.

Since Miyuki was now behind me, the attention of the upperclassman was now on me. They walked up to me with their eyes.

Isn't that the upperclassman that Riki asked when in the field to ask about the class. Looks like I'll deal with a troublesome person.

“What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in class?”

The brother asked me with his ferocious tone.

“I just want to go to the toilet Kak.”

For now I better try to be friendly to him.

“Then so quickly go the toilet and return to class.”

It was his plan that I wanted to do that.

When I wanted to step away from Miyuki, somehow Miyuki didn't speak. He just kept quiet and pulled my alma mater very strongly. He seems very scared right now. It is also difficult to be a person who has a beautiful face.

“Again what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in class as well to guide the class you are mentoring?”

“What's your business asking like that?”

Now that upperclassman started intimidating me.

“No, I was just curious. Because when I was walking here I saw all the members of OSIS were busy with their respective classes.”

“Cih! I was just keeping no students from going to the cafeteria. Why?”

Ahah! I can finish quickly and go back to my class.

“Create that? I think it's weird... There was no way any new kid would dare to do such a thing, considering this was still their first day of entry. Besides of... If we want to go to the cafeteria, we have to pass the picket table on the first floor. Shouldn't it be that children who go to the cafeteria can be stopped by the picket teacher on duty.”

After hearing my words, suddenly the emotions of the upperclassman rose and he looked even more sinister.

“What do you mean you say that, you challenge me? You think, you can just act here new boy!”

“I didn't enter anything, I just asked. Besides, maybe a new kid like me would dare to challenge an upperclassman like you.”

I smiled at him a little.

Hearing that, the emotions of the upperclassman increased and more intimidated me more deeply. But somehow since the last incident in Junior High, my emotions became calmer and my mentality became stronger than before.

Does this have anything to do with me telling my past to Miyuki huh?

“What's the fuss?”

From a distance a man appeared who stopped the quarrel. The upperclassman who had previously intimidated me instantly fell silent and did not dare to say anything more. As the man approached it turned out he was the head of OSIS.

His name is Alvin Guinandra. His good looks and good academic grades make him have a good reputation in front of the students as well as the teachers in this school. Even he was able to occupy the position of chairman of OSIS while in the eleventh grade.

“What happened something?”

The upperclassman who previously looked ferocious, now just speechless rigidly could not say anything in front of Kak Alvin. It turns out that the power of the OSIS chairman can be this great.

“Nothing happened Kak, we were just asking about this school.”

“But I saw that you guys were fighting earlier.”

“That's probably right, I can't possibly have that much courage to fight with an upperclassman. What's more this is my first day, I just want to live a peaceful school life... So take it easy brother, no problem kok.”

May he believe in my code.

“That's the woman behind you why? He looks like a frightened person.”

Damn you Miyuki, you should have seen the situation at the moment.

“She is indeed a slightly shy person Sis, and she is also not used to men who are foreign to her.”

“Is it really like that?”

Alvin doesn't just believe what I say.

I moved my elbow to give Miyuki a sign so she could say something.

“..I-Yes Kak, I am not used to foreign men.”

Fortunately, he followed my directions.

“Alright if it is like that... Deni, you better get back to your tutoring class. I think they've finished the yel-yelnya.”

So the name of the upperclassman was Deni.

“...Fine.”

And Deni went back to his class. But judging from his face, it seems like he still harbors a sense of annoyance at me.

This is why I hate dealing with Miyuki. Just now that I made my peaceful SMK debut, now a new problem has arisen.

“You should also go back to your class.”

Miyuki went to her class without saying anything to me. It's actually better that way, if Miyuki were to thank me, then surely Brother Alvin would be suspicious of what we just did.

“By which class are you from?”

“I from ten multimedia D Kak.”

“Oh so, then we go there together. Coincidentally I also want to go there.”

Shit, what am I supposed to do now.

Finally, inevitably, I went back to class with Kak Alvin.

By the time I got to class, all the students in the class were surprised to see me coming with Kak Alvin, even Kak Fauzi and Kak Ayu looked confused about it.

“Alvin! What the hell's going on? Did he do anything?”

Brother Fauzi looked at me worriedly.

“No, we only met in front of the toilet. I'm here because there's something I want to talk to the two of you about tomorrow's event.”

Then Brother Alvin chatted with Kak Fauzi and Kak Ayu in front of the class, while I went straight back to my seat.

“Do you do something Mar?”

Riki was also worried about my situation.

“Didn't you hear what Brother Alvin said. We only met in front of the toilet.”

“I thought you were troublemaking on your first day.”

“That's where possible.”

Yep... I did do something troublesome earlier.

A break came and all the students rushed to the cafeteria for a break.

“Ayo Mar us to the canteen.”

Riki who had finished cleaning her desk took me to the cafeteria.

“Ok.”

“You two also want to come?”

Riki invited Kichida and Natasha as well.

“I'm coming with you, I already promised Miyuki to rest together.”

Kichida's coming with us.

“I didn't first, there's something I have to do.”

It seems like the job of being a class manager has burdened him on the first day.

“Alright then, but don't force yourself yes. Later after the break let's finish together again.”

Riki gave a little advice to Natasha.

“Siap.”

We went to the cafeteria. While in the hallway, we met Maul who had just walked out of her class.

“Oi Mul, do you want a bag too?”

Riki immediately greeted Maul.

“Iya.”

“Yes already, we go together.”

“Ok.”

After buying food in the cafeteria, we looked for an empty place to eat. But because the number of seats in the canteen is not proportional to the number of students who come there to make all the seats are already full occupied by people.

“We want to eat where?”

I asked Riki who was still looking for an empty place there.”

“Entaihah, I did not find an empty place.”

While we were looking for an empty place, Rina and Miyuki came to us.

“Are you two looking for a place too?”

Lina asked us.

“That's.”

“Hei Miyuki!... Lina!.... You are also Fuyumi, hurry up here, we get a vacant spot.”

Takeshi shouted from where he was sitting.

Hmh! There he is here.

“Come Rik, we better eat under the trees in the field only.”

I also invited Riki to get out of the canteen immediately. I don't want to stay near Takeshi for long.

“Whatever can?”

“So I saw a lot of people eating there too. Of course it can be.”

“What do you think you guys are?”

Riki asked the others.

“I'm following you guys.”

“Alright then we find another place only.”

The three of us went to the field to find a place to eat there. Rina, Miyuki, and Kichida also ended up coming with us. They rejected Takeshi's offer. I'm being pity

to him.

Finally we found a place not far from the musala. There was a tree that was not too big but shady.

“It looks like this place is good.”

I suggested the place to them.

“Yes this place is great to gather. Its many branches make this place very cool to gather.”

Maul agrees with me.

We sat down and started eating our food.

“Before I want to thank you for the incident earlier.”

Miyuki finally thanked me, but I didn't expect that anymore.

“What happened?”

Lina looks curious.

“Actually..”.

Miyuki told them everything that happened to them.

“Hah!? I didn't know you could be that brave Mar.”

“It was a stupid thing Mar.”

“I'm so worried about you Ar.”

Everyone was surprised and worried about what I was doing.

“I was forced to do that, after all why did you get to be in the second floor toilet? What happened to the third floor toilet?”

“The third floor toilet is being repaired so I was forced to go down to the second floor to use the toilet. But it turns out that when I finished using it, in front of the toilet there was already that upperclassman waiting for me.”

What the fuck, it's spooky.

“I suggest you not to make too much trouble with OSIS at this time Mar. They could have replied to you later.”

Riki gave me advice.

Hearing that made my body goosebumps a little out of fear. I was afraid that my peaceful life at SMK would never happen.

“But take it easy Rik, I'm sure Amar can handle it.”

Maul doesn't seem to care what happens to me.

“By the way do you know something about the food clue that will be brought tomorrow?”

Lina asked us and showed us her guidebook. I just realized that Rina was carrying the playbook.

“He was right, I was also confused when I saw him earlier. Independence rice, soy sauce, ceremonial milk, tool water, green bullet nutrition. I don't understand all.”

Miyuki said because she did not understand the clue-clue listed.

That's one of the hallmarks of orientation time. We are told to think about what food is behind the clue-clue.

“I finished it. I'll tell you later.”

“Really it! Thank you Riki.”

Even though I looked calm and enjoyed my meal, my mind was still thinking about the incident I did with Kak Deni.

Hopefully something troublesome doesn't happen for now.
