Trapped in 2001

The Champion

Two days later...

"Mario, wake...!"

Deddy yells at Mario, and the boy is shocked and wakes up.

"Why dad?" tanyanya panic.

"You took the test today. What time is it?"

"Huh?. Omaigad."

Mario looked at the clock that was already showing at half-seven in the morning. While the school set the entrance exam at exactly 07:00.

In a hurry he took a towel, took a bath and immediately got dressed.

"Why don't you wake up Mario anyway, dad?"

Mario grumbled while pacing back and forth preparing bags, stationery, along with shoes. While Deddy was busy preparing his work needs.

"Daddy is bad, too. You know the test, not sleep. Who told Semalem you played until the mallem at Cavin's house."

"Yes but as a parent daddy should wake up earlier, so can wake up the child. Mario's dady's responsibility."

"School is purely your responsibility, not daddy's."

"Oh, it's almost seven more. How's this?" Mario panic.

"Buruan, Mario...!"

Deddy yelled again, this time from the yard. Mario rush out, it turns out Deddy is ready with a motorcycle. Mario was silent for a moment, no doubt Deddy cared so much about him.

This is a simple thing, only a father takes his son to school. But at a time like this, this is the biggest gift for Mario. Which even in his own time was not so cared for by Michael or Marcell. He will be late or not to school.

"Ngapain bengong anyway?. The...!" deddy said again.

"I, yes dad."

Mario hastily got on top of Deddy's bike. Shortly after, the motorbike moved out of the yard.

"Mario game..!"

Cavin was driven by Davin, presumably the boy also woke up late. Passing through Brian's residence, Mario is surprised by the presence of Brian who was piggybacked by Mbak Luna. The woman is half-stealth, the leader of the household assistant at home.

"Yesaaaaa."

Luna screamed while stinking gas, the three of them were competing to get there quickly. Fortunately, Luna's behavior is very barbaric, so Mario, Brian, and Cavin can quickly get to school.

Luna snapped at the other riders who were trying to block them. Or else, he would scream in their ears until they all stepped aside and gave way.

"the...!"

Deddy, Davin, and Luna send the three children in, when they finally arrive at school on time. Not long after, the entrance bell rang. Mario, Brian, and Cavin run to class.

"Ad, you didn't call me?" mario asked Adrian when he was in class.

"Gue same Heru already yelling like anything tau in front of your house on. Nobody answered. We thought you were all gone first."

"Somewhat, my bad luck. I studied semalem, even thought staying up is not clear with my father."

"Yes, the important thing is to be on time."

"Well, what's the test today?"

"Mathematics."

"Haha?"

Mario, Brian and Cavin stared at Adrian with the same mouth open. They don't think math is the first test they'll ever have to face.

"Anjrit." grumbled Mario. While Brian and Cavin compact patted the jidat.

***

Sometimes they cheat each other, by throwing papers containing answers. Sometimes they make their own cheats, which are written on handkerchiefs or tissue. They finished it all like normal students in general.

Then came the day their report was shared. Because of this class increase, then the pick-up is required to bring a parent or guardian.

Mario, Brian, and Cavin were all worried. They are afraid of being third from the end. Because of the exam this time, they were very unprepared.

If in the future, they could always rank a class. It was because they had already prepared for the exam from far away. They learn and make a complete cheat sheet so it is not so difficult to fill out the answer sheet.

One by one the general champions are mentioned. Starting from their most senior generation, which is class 3, then class 2 and now first class.

"Third general voice, Christopher Robin Hoult."

The whole student cheered. F4 fans are no exception, they welcome the news with great joy. Especially Martin the gang leader. He is very confident that the general champion this time will again be controlled by its members.

After two consecutive wulan chess, the general champion is held by his group. With it as the main.

"New to me, his name is Christopher Robin." Brian chirped, followed by the laughter of Mario and Cavin.

They imagine the Christopher Robbin film they watched in their time, while imagining Christopher who is in this era has rabbit ears.

"Haha." They laugh amusedly.

"Second general voice, Ratna Diandra Kirana."

The entire student was shocked even speechless for a moment. In the previous two seasons, the second consecutive general champion was held by Glenn Marvino. Glen is a member of F4. Glen was flabbergasted, the rest of the F4 members looked shocked. The whole school is silent.

"Wooouu."

Mario, Brian, and Cavin clapped. Soon, all the students cheered. Adding to the annoyance on the faces of Martin and his friends. The problem is that their gang's reputation is at stake. But they are still confident that Martin remains the main one. Because Martin has an insider who can boost his value.

"Ratna is bad." said Mario proudly.

"Lo didn't look at Martin's face." whispered Cavin.

"Oil boiled shrimp." Brian chirps.

The three of them returned giggling.

"So it doesn't fit in front of the gate. He really care to say that the general champion will be controlled by their gang." said Mario again.

"Gue was hoping this first one wasn't him, Adril kek or anyone. Let the shrimp boil." said Cavin.

Again, again, and again they giggled.

"First general voice,..."

The teacher who read the announcement was silent for a moment. Suddenly he became like a contest host who wanted to announce the winner. The students waited tensely, though some seemed unconcerned. Because they already know for sure Martin is the champion, as in the previous two periods.

"Andrew Andreas Mario Cahyadi."

"Haha?"

Time seems to stop. Mario, Brian, Cavin and everyone there were flabbergasted in disbelief. Brian and Cavin then laughed while hitting Mario on the shoulder. They did not expect in this era Mario was able to win the general champion. While in his era most rank two, or rank one with the lowest value among the other rankers. Once he was a general champion, but that seems to be due to the khilaf teacher. Or Mario who makes the cheat sheet too perfect.

A big applause finally Mario received. From a distance, Deddy seemed to be smiling with pride. Martin looks very angry.

When entering class and reporting division, it turns out Martin only reached rank 3. Because the 2nd rank was achieved by Adrian. Cavin and Brian are ranked 4th and 5th, Heru is ranked 7th. But they are happy enough.

"Mario."

Deddy hugs and kisses Mario on the forehead. Shortly after the report split ended and they prepared to go home. Davin himself expressed his praise for Cavin's hard work. Brian's cross-age parents did not matter his son was only in fifth.

That day they came home happy, but not with Martin. He now looks angry while punching the back wall of the school with his hand.

"Suckhead."

"Argh."

"Why is that cockroach the general champion."

"Argh."
