In the morning when Amy had just arrived at Class, Debbie was already sitting sweetly in her chair. For a moment the expression on Amy's face looked tense to find Debbie's presence that morning. Slowly she walked to the seat, Amy's mood that morning foggy sense of anxiety. "Morning...” greeting her to Debbie. “Morning too.” Amy placed the bag on the table, sat on the bench while glancing at Debbie who, as usual, was wrestling with her comic, reading it intensely. “Hey, do you want to play at my house?” Invite Amy. “Your house? Sure!” Without thinking, Debbie accepted the invitation. “Hmm..." Shyly Amy said, “but it was a little far, how?” Debbie raised her face looking at Amy's nervous face. With a smile Debbie said, “no problem, I also want to know your house.” "Okay... I also have something to say.” Amy turns moody when talking. But Debbie was not attentive enough to catch Amy's behavior. “What is it?” "Erm, I will tell you later, after school.” Amy forced a smile covering
On the day of departure Debbie missed the group bus because she came late. Again because her dad drove 30 minutes late from the gathering time. Debbie almost cried because she could not join the camp. The teacher looked for a way for her to leave, catch up and join others. “I went there too, sir. so Debbie can come with me.” One of the mentores gave advice. “That Right, Sir." said the teacher who handled the event. "Yes, but is it really okay?” staring at his daughter who looked anxious about the continuity of her fate. “Of course,” he put a smile then faced the young one among them. “Debbie, will you go with me in this car?" Asked the mentor this time. Debbie saw the car that would transport her to the location of camp. She was silent for a moment before finally deciding to accept the offer, nodding her head slowly. saw his daughter's made decision and give approval. no other way he must entrust Debbie in the care of the mentor teacher. “I'm sorry, sir, for causing such troubl
Pressure test in the sense of the word abbreviated from the word mental mentoring or mental guidance, is not a foreign thing even in the world of education in schools. This can be found in school organizations, one of which is extracurricular activities. Back on the purpose of this camper is to build familiarity, train mental and independence of participants, especially first graders. in the middle of night events are entertainment that can not be separated in school events. Marching troop plans to gather at 02.00 A.M at a predetermined place. In the main event tonight the new members are shaken both physically and mentally. They were awakened at midnight by force, gathered in a queue. After that, it was divided into several groups and then told to walk around the camper location area. In the middle of a silent, desolate, cold and dark night they are gathered on their own. In that state they could only rely on each other's group mates no matter what. Reportedly, the seniors have pre
No one thinks she had a chance to see Alfred during this camp from close distance. Due to the fact that the location of red-cross and marching troop activities are always far apart. In addition to the campfire last night which took place briefly because of the rain to disperse the event. Then who would have thought that this morning Alfred came by himself when Ivy no longer hoped. The way of life is indeed strange, can not be guessed or planned once it can change. “Man, hold on, we've arrived at the health unit.” Harry was carrying Alfred whose face looked pale and his body limp. “Why is it? Is there a problem?” No, it was not Ivy who asked and handled Alfred but a senior. Ivy there only plays the role as a helpful extra. But actually the extra task is not just dumb but must be observed carefully. And learn from the way seniors handle or help people who need help. “He vomited after eating. May still feel nauseous or dizzy.” It is clear that Harry is in a state of panic. "Eat wha
A heavy separation Debbie went through, not entirely sadness because she and Amy made many good memories during camp last time. After Amy's departure, there is Sarah as her next best friend. They always go to extracurricular activities together from Ciremai to Malabar if there is a training schedule. Even if they go to different extracurriculars. Debbie joined Marching and Sarah joined red-cross. In the days of extracurricular exercises. They will depart together from Ciremai to Malabar using their special public transport. Once they were also forced to walk up to the highway passed by City public transport because there was no more public transport running anymore which had returned to the terminal that afternoon. Although the walk is quite long and tiring, they enjoy it. Along the way they chat alot about anything or joking so exciting until the trip is not felt. Quiet streets, tall shady trees lined that shade pedestrians, Debbie loves it all. Sometimes she deliberately goes home
Entering the second semester, Debbie has become part of the big family of this school. The days change with this and that, filled with trivia and all kinds of stories. Through Sarah, Debbie got to know Ivy, a red-cross member in class 10-3. Sarah introduced her to Debbie as a close friend during extracurricular activities. While Debbie after Amy's departure has not had close friends in extracurricular until now. Therefore, she is always alone when participating in extracurricular activities. As per her glasses-wearing appearance and reputation at school, Ivy is the smartest of the three. If Sarah excelled in English, Ivy excelled in math. Ivy is obsessed with grades, assertive in expressing opinions and competitive. Like Debbie who can't be ignored when reading comics. Likewise Ivy cannot be interrupted when solving mathematical formulas. Once Ivy said to Debbie. “I want to be the best in mathematics because I want to get someone's recognition me so that he is aware of my existence
The more sought after and observed, Debbie increasingly feels Ivy's taste is beyond the ordinary or normal word. Alfred does have tremendous advantages academically but in other aspects he also has many shortcomings, the conclusion Alfred is just an ordinary person is not as perfect as Ivy describes. “He was weak physically, also very easy to tease." Now that Debbie remembers Alfred's figure “he vomited badly when eating green bean porridge, just because the upperclassman said the porridge was mixed with flies.” Ivy, who heard Debbie's every word carefully since she started telling the story, only smiled even though the minus about her idol was explained clearly. Especially considering that day, when Ivy gave a package of rice porridge to Alfred. There was no chance or possibility for Ivy to feelslightest implied on her facial expression. Then it's true what Debbie's initial opinion was about Ivy's one-sided feeling that already left her blind to anything. “Then, what else?" Ivy as
Grace was surprised when she saw the list of participants in the Math Olympiad, Alfred's name was not there. She thought he would also participate in the Olympics because the ambitious boy like Alfred, who she knew only cares about accumulated achievements, would not let this opportunity pass by. “Why don't you go to the Math Olympiad?" Asked Grace astonished. Alfred was sitting alone at his desk solving some math problem when Grace came to him. “I want to. But the teacher advised me to focus on one, let the other kid have a chance too.” “Anyway... Poor thing." Grace teased that there was no hint of a concerned expression on her face at all. “What about you?" Grace asked Harry, who was sitting not far from Alfred. Harry did not fully understand the meaning of the question, since he was also busy himself observing a thing that he was staring at carefully. “Me? Why me?" Harry was distracted by what was in his hand when heard his name being called. Grace's face turned sour, achin
