Chapter 3: ODDITY
A classroom like a market with sellers and buyers talking to each other. They discuss various topics of conversation with their respective gangs or groups.
"Fa, don't you want to participate in the push rank pubg? You are usually the most excited?" said Dika — a friend who often plays with Alfa.
"I'm not in my mood" replied Alfa flatly. Alfa's mood is now bored.
Alfa had been waiting for Tata's arrival after leaving. He thought that Tata would get a permission in the first lesson class. Tata has business with the organization that he will leave this first semester, considering that they are already in class XII. The bell rang 10 minutes ago. However, Tata hasn't arrived yet.
"You know, it's better if I not attending lessons" said Alfa while standing up and stepping out. However, when he was about to turn left. Suddenly, Tata came and tweaked Alfa's ear. Then dragged him into the classroom. Alfa was silent and followed Tata's steps.
"In the morning, did you want to not attending lessons? we are having a test in the first hour? Did you forget?" Asked Tata. Alfa just nodded her head and is now sitting in its original place.
Five minutes later Bu Rina entered the classroom with a man Alfa knew. The man who last night met Alfa and gave Alfa a wound on the tip of Alfa's lips. Yep, that man is Bagaskara.
Alfa did not expect why Bagas had changed so much since junior high school, which incidentally was a poor boy and a bookworm. Last night, with the courage to face Alfa's face. Well even with a little fear that still enveloped him. But Alfa appreciates Bagas' courage now.
"let me introduce myself, my name is Bagaskara. You can call me Bagas. I moved from SMA XXX" said Bagas introducing himself after being welcomed by Mrs. Rina.
"Wow, I didn't expect it. Bagas is a friend who used to be bullied when he was in junior high school. Now, he is in our same class. he is also cool," said Tata.
"Hm" replied Alfa indifferently. Bagas walks to an empty bench next to Alfa and is blocked by Dika (Bagas sits next to Dika).
"okay all, Our agenda for this morning is a test! For you, Bagas, you can follow this test first, right. So, I know how much you studied physics in high school back then," said Mrs. Rina and Bagas answered it.
Now, the classroom was silent. There were no loud voices but whispers from one student to another. Bagas and Alfa are quite calm in doing it. Dika asked Alfa for answers several times, but in that way, Alfa lightly mentioned the answer. Bagas who saw it felt uncomfortable with Dika who disturbed his concentration.
Tata, who had been feeling restless with several times scratching her head, made Alfa glance at her occasionally. However, over time Alfa got quite annoyed.
"What are you doing Ta, you always move from earlier," said Alfa. Alfa who had been holding back his protests now easily slid out of his mouth.
"Hehe, I didn't study last night. Well, I opened the formula on this morning. So I forgot one last formula. Even though I'm sure this morning I read the formula." Replied Tata irritated.
Without saying much, Alfa handed the answer sheet to Tata. There is no need to doubt the truth because Alfa is smart enough in science, let alone physics. Alfa has been finished since earlier. Now, Alfa put her head on top of her hand which was on the table. It didn't take long for Alfa to leave her real world.
"Smart people don't need to learn anymore," thought Tata. Even though Alfa offered her answer sheet, Tata never copied Alfa's answer. For her, if this test gets a bad score it is because of his fault. So, fuck off with high score.
After seeing Alfa asleep, Tata watched Bagas walk forward giving an answer sheet and a question to Mrs. Rina, which indicated that Bagas had finished his question.
In the past, since junior high school, Tata has liked Bagas because he has a good boy character and is always get first parallel except for the 9th grade. But for some reason, now Tata sees him as normal, even though Bagas' face looks cooler now. However, when he looked closely, Bagas now looked more different.
This morning, Tata met Bagas in the corridor. Tata feels that the present Bagas is not the old Bagas. The atmosphere around Bagas feels stronger, almost the same as when Tata was next to Alfa. Tata can't stop wondering why the atmosphere between Bagas and Alfa is so different from that of their male peers. Well, maybe because Bagas and Alfa stand out in this school the most. What's more, Bagas, just the first day of entry, other girls in the class admirer to him, while Alfa was already from the prefix MOS. Ckckck.
"My friends are cool," Inner Tata
***
It has been almost a week since Bagas has been at the same school as Alfa and Tata. However, there are many irregularities that Tata feels about Bagas' existence. This is very disturbing in Tata's mind.
After school Alfa and Tata join basketball extracurricular activities. Sheila is waiting for them in the cafeteria with her friend who intends to stay at school until late afternoon. From earlier, Tata has not focused on thinking about why Bagas also takes part in this extra basketball. In fact, since Junior High School, Tata has known Bagas who is anti-basketball.
"But why is he here now way!" Tata shouted inwardly while thinking.
For some reason, Tata today always sees Bagas, wherever and whenever. Like the canteen, classrooms, library, even today Bagas is an extracurricular member with Tata. Bagas' skill for basketball is quite captivating and capable.
"But can Bagas do that? eh, come to think of it, all day I have seen his face. when in the student council room also. If Alfa, he helps me! while Bagas?" Tata thought always wondered
"Oh, really good. why is it so I think about him, please? Who am I?" Tata continued in thought
"throw here, Fan," asked Alfa to Fani, who is her junior. Hearing his name mentioned, Fani then threw the ball in his hand to switch to Alfa. Due to Alfa's distance, it is possible to enter the ball without waiting for Alfa to jump slightly and direct the ball to the basketball basket
SRANG!
The basketball quickly enters the basketball ring and makes the opposing team take it.
Basketball practice is enough for today. Alfa slightly ran over to Tata and Sheila who sat on the edge of the field remembering that Tata had finished training first.
"Hua, is very tired, but it's fun too," said Alfa, wiping her sweat using a small towel wrapped around her neck.
"Alfa, you don't realize that Bagas has always followed you from a week ago. Starting from extra, but sometimes I also see him, suddenly watching you," said Tata to Alfa, Sheila didn't pay attention to what they were saying because Sheila was busy seeing her idol do a live Instagram again.
Hearing this, Alfa turned to Bagas, who happened to be glancing at him. Alfa then turned her gaze back to look at Tata in front of her.
"It's very stupid and not important either" said Alfa indifferently.
"How? You have permission with your mother, don't you want to come with Sheila for the inauguration of the restaurant Uncle Rehan?" Asked Alfa to make sure
"Just calm down. Let's go home," said Tata. Alfa summoned Sheila, who was engrossed in watching her idol, making Sheila chuckle irritably. Sheila continues to watch the live Ig of her idol by walking which makes Alfa embrace her younger sister so she doesn't hit or fall on the rocks. So sweet, right?
