Trapped in 2001

The Strange Adrian

"Ad."

Mario calls and greets Adrian when the break arrives. But unlike usual, Adril just smiled thinly and seemed not excited.

He also did not approach Mario, Brian, and Cavin who are currently standing in front of the class. He went somewhere after that.

Usually, Adril is a friendly person who is always around Mario, Brian, and Cavin. They also often go to the cafeteria together. But after being sick the other day, somehow Adrian so changed. This morning alone, the teenager chose to go alone and did not pick up Cavin or Brian.

"Rat, Ratna."

Cavin called Ratna, as the girl was just about to head for the library room.

"Well, what's the matter, Cav?" ask Ratna then.

"Si Adrian why is it?" ask Cavin in wonder.

"Mmm, Adrian. Why mother?" Ratna asked back.

But Cavin caught no other tone in the question the girl was asking. Here they can be of the same age. But in the future Cavin is a high school boy, who is not easily lied to by Junior High like Ratna.

"Don't lie to me, Adril why?. Did I, Mario, and Brian have the same fault?" ask Cavin again.

"Yes, you ask directly to the person" said Ratna with a face like harboring fear.

"Udah, and he said it's okay."

"Yes, it means nothing dong." said Ratna later.

"Lo don't follow a lie like Adril. I know that Adrian lied and I know that you, you know about what Adrian now keeps."

Cavin scoffed at Ratna, so the girl did not dare to twitch and even looked into Cavin's eyes.

"Gue can't tell you the same story, I don't feel good with Adrian" he said later.

"But Rat."

"Can't Cav, sorry."

Ratna passed, but Cavin was still trying.

"Rats."

"Don't force me, Cav." said Ratna to stop Cavin.

The teenager was no longer chasing Ratna. He turned around to find out where Mario and Brian were.

"Where are you from, bro?" mario asked when Cavin finally visited the two children in the cafeteria.

"Gue from the same name Ratna" said Cavin while sipping sweet iced tea owned by Mario.

"What's that?" ask Brian.

"On Adril."

"Adril why?" ask Mario

"No idea, you just felt weird?"

Mario and Brian were silent as if thinking and remembering.

"Yes, he's like a malesan that's our country." Brian said.

"There's still trouble at home" said Mario.

"Yes, I hope he's all right. I asked him, he replied it was okay."

"Yes, hopefully." said Mario and Brian at the same time.

During the day, Mario walks first to the school gate. Cavin and Brian were urinating in the toilet. He walked with his eyes fixed forward, before long Adrian passed in front of him. But the young man only glared, even though his eyes met Mario's eyes.

"Degh."

Mario's heart rumbled.

From that day on, Adril's attitude became strange. When he gathered, he was more silent. Even if he had to speak, he spoke more to Ratna and Heru. Instead of interacting with Mario, Brian and Cavin.

Mario and his two friends suspect, there must be a problem with Adrian. Most likely due to his abusive parents, or other problems.

The next day was the same, Adril again acted not so friendly. He even disappeared in the break. When he came home, he did not show the nose on the face of his friends. He had already rushed out of the school when the bells rang.

As the months passed, Mario grew more and more insane with his ambition. Every day, hour, minute, second is a learning time for him. He was even very difficult to play with, both by Cavin and Brian though.

On the first and second screening tests, he got away. His name even perched in the first place, followed by two other f4 members and Martin.

Currently there are only a few candidates left, who will be screened again in the near future. Because crazy Mario learned, he sometimes forgot to eat. Deddy was often angry, because of his bad habits.

Just like today, he shut himself up while studying in the room. He did not even participate in extracurricular activities as usual. Deddy tried knocking on the door many times, but there was no answer.

Mario installed the earphones and connected them to a portable CD player that Michael had given him. When she went on a study tour last year.

"Mario, eat."

"Tok, tock, tock."

Deddy tried again.

"Mario."

"Braaac."

Mario opens the door to the room. Deddy breathed a sigh of relief, thinking Mario had become a fossil.

"Why, dad?" tanyanya.

"Eat." said Deddy while looking at his son.

"Oh, yes dad. Mario's coming down."

"Daddy wait."

"OK."

Deddy passed by and headed to the dining room. Moments later Mario arrives in the room, but this time he brings a book. He continued to focus on the book, even until the meal began.

He ate his food while reading a book. Deddy watched his son's behavior.

"Yes."

"Haaah, pedeees." shouted Mario mebahana. Now Deddy is laughing.

"Daddy deliberately yes, narok a lot of sampled on Mario's plate?" said Mario sewot, while drinking water. Deddy was still laughing.

"Eat him eat focus, eat first just learn." said Deddy increasingly laughing.

Mario took a glass and some spare change that was on the television.

"Where are you going?" ask Deddy later

"You're buying lemonade in the front shop, pedes."

Mario moved, again and again Deddy chuckled.

"You are a useless child. It's just that you exist, you know. Just his job."

"Youth."

A blow Adril received, it happened in front of his house. Just when Cavin and Brian just arrived from the main place dingdong. Mario just got back from buying lemonade.

Adril was glued in front of his parents, the teenager's head bowed. His face hurt from being hit, but there was more pain in his heart.

Shortly thereafter, the teenager left on his bicycle. He passed in front of Cavin, Mario, and Brian at high speed. Mario stared at Adrian, as did Cavin and Brian. Shortly after Adril passed, the three of them met each other. They were very sorry for Adrian.
