4. IT'S EXCITING TO BE THE FIRST MIDLLE SCHOOL CHILD

 

Monday morning, Oops, I almost went to school late, I woke up late even though mom and dad were busy waking me up, but yes, I always enjoy sleeping, they often tease me when I sleep like a buffalo or just dead people. I ran when the school entrance bell rang. Yes today I picket to be a flag raising officer. I took the flag, I trimmed it with Vina and Maria, and we got ready. From a distance, Iwan looks ready as the leader of the ceremony, he smiles at me. I didn't forget to smile back. Nervous, it's the first day I fly the flag at my Middle School. There are many seniors of course as well as my class 1 friends. A total of 21 classes, it was time for me to raise the flag. I'm in charge of giving the signal. I also have to monitor the movement of the flag so that it flies stable in accordance with the beat of the Indonesia Raya song when sung simultaneously. Alhamdulillah, everything went well. I got back on my feet to continue my Monday ceremony until it was all over.

During the break.

After buying snacks from the school canteen, we returned to talking in class, me, Vina, Maria and Catur. We are having fun taking turns filling in the bio data on each other's diaries, especially if we don't know each other's home address and telephone. Today's English lesson, the teacher is quite famous for being strict and fierce. Damn, because I didn't focus. The teacher called me to do the assignment on the blackboard, Iwan gave me the book, glad I got help, without reading it, without studying, I just wrote down all the answers from the book. Just a few seconds I wrote it on the blackboard, the teacher and my classmates laughed at me.

"Sin What did you write that?", The teacher asked me. "

"The answer, right ma'am?"

"Yes, but it's all wrong."

Gosh, I'm so white, I'm embarrassed, and I see Iwan and Rio laughing in their seats, I just realized that Iwan was teasing me. I sit back in my chair, and Iwan, who was hit by the stone, now comes to the front of the class working on his problems. Unfortunately he is good at English, ok, I accept the challenge, next time I'll embarrass him in front of my friends.

 Friends are friends, but don't go on fad, I'm embarrassed to be mocked in front of the class, I don't think so, I'm really angry. He kept smiling at me, teasing me in every way so that I would not be angry with his prank which is enough to irritate me.

Vina also approached me, I think she will comfort me.

"Sin, ignored it, you fad, Iwan."

"Yes, Vina, am I angry or not, it's just that I'm embarrassed because of her prank, too much, I'm annoyed."

"Relax, forget about all that later."

"Yes Fina, but I'm really pissed off."

When I got home, after lunch I sat relaxed in the middle of my house. Especially if you don't listen to my favorite music program on ANTV Planet Adolescents, which is becoming a hit and idol of teenager. I really like Agnes, Potret, Stinky, Jamrud, RIP, Gigi and Dewa 19. For me, music is a friend when lonely. Especially if mom and dad are not at home like now.

Kring .... Kring .... Kring ...

The landline also rang loudly. I hurriedly picked it up, who knows it's important.

"Hello, good afternoon.."

"Yes, hello can you talk to Sintia?"

"Yes, this is Sintia, who is this?"

"Why don't you memorize Sin's voice?"

"Sorry, who is this?"

"This is Iwan .."

"Ehmmm, why Wan?"

“Ok, she's still angry, I'm sorry if I'm joking. I'm too much."

"Yes I don't like it, don't repeat it?"

"Deck, you can see your math book that I borrowed earlier."

"What is the matter?"

"Okay, you check it first, in five minutes I'll call you back, okay?"

Tut .... tut ... tut .... my phone was suddenly turned off by him. Ehmmm, what else is Iwan doing, not satisfied with the pranks at school the last few days to me.

I rushed to find a Math book in my school bag, afraid that there was some kind of gum stuck on it or some other ridiculous act. I flipped through my book if there was nothing, I checked one by one there was nothing. Too much Iwan, still mischievous this time to me.

Kring ... Kring ...

"Yes, hello Wan!"

"Have you found what you're looking for?"

"Yes, nothing."

"Ehmmm, you are never careful, Sin."

"Isn't there anything?"

"Miss, try bending the book, you close it, from the sides of your book, you will see a writing."

I also bent my book according to Iwan's request, oh my god, it says "Sintia I Love You."

"Hello Sin, found you? Sin"

"Yes, found Wan."

"What is the reading?"

"Yes, I've read."

"Yes, what? Read it again. I want to hear it right away?"

"Yes, Sintia knows."

"Sin, read, if you don't read the phone I won't hang up!"

"Sintia I Love You."

"What? Try again louder?"

"Sintia I Love You."

"Now that's clear, so what is the answer?"

"I don't know."

"Tomorrow there must be an answer, See you Sin."

Tut .... tut ... tut ... the phone dropped again.

"This is crazy, Iwan."

Ten minutes later.

Mom  and daddy came home from work and college. They brought me Ciki and various other favorite snacks. And those who are never absent they bring, yes Ciki and tea boxes of Sosro, my favorite snacks since the age of about 3 years, all have become a tradition and rations for me almost every day my mom and dad buy them for me as wages to wait for a house well. Ah, forget it, just pretend nothing happened. Maybe he was prankster as was his habit. I took my homework, today I have homework in Indonesian and Mathematics, I am always disciplined and never procrastinate so that tomorrow when there is a lesson schedule, I will not be in a hurry, let alone forget to do homework, I can be punished by the teacher later. But there are some questions that I can't work on, I'm forced to ask Catur or Iwan tomorrow, I think they understand the answer better.

"Sin, Iwan called me from the next bench. How about yesterday? Answer yes Sin, I beg you please."

I've never been in love, this is the first feeling of love I got, what should I do? Ervina also urged me to answer the love letter from Iwan, oh, when you were dating? what if mom and dad know. Surely later I will go all out at their teasing because Iwan is my little friend, and the son of my daddy's best friend. There was an upheaval in my heart, confused what should I answer, answer yes or no? I'll just answer the love statement from Iwan, I'd better avoid it first, as long as I can dodge and postpone answering it.

Surely this is due to Rio and his friends asking for my home phone number a few days ago, without suspicion I just gave my phone number 072544604. The school bell rang a sign that we were going home from school. I packed all my school supplies, surely daddy has been waiting for me in front of the school fence. Yes, it's true that dad's car is right in front of the school, daddy is very punctual, because daddy is worried about me. I rushed to run in front of the school fence, but Iwan took my hand for a moment.

"Sin, what's the answer, yes or no?"

"Tomorrow I will answer it Wan, sorry Daddy has been waiting for you, look at the car already perched in front of the fence."

"Ehmmm, always avoid it."

For a while I'm safe, I don't have to answer it yet, that's right Wan I'm avoiding.

While relaxing in the room, the phone rings. Not long after, Ms. Sri, my household assistant called.

"Miss Sin, this is a call, Miss."

"Whose call is Ms. Sri?"

"This call from Mrs. Iwan is Miss."

I rushed to take the receiver in my room.

"Yes Ma'am, just hang up, Ma'am, the phone, I've already picked it up in the room."

"Hello Wan"

"Yes, hello, this is Iwan."

"Yes Wan, what's wrong? You called me again, but by the way, how come you know my home phone number? You got it from Erfina, huh. Really that kid can't keep my secret!"

"Sin, I got your phone number not from Vina, but from Rio, a few days ago she asked you, I told her to ask you."

"Ehmmm, that's just right."

"Don't be angry, I just want to ask you earlier, about my statement yesterday, what's the answer? You will definitely reject me, Sin, surely you are not interested in me?"

"Actually, Wan, I have been staring at you for a long time, it feels like if we are looking at each other, how come there is something strange, is it because we are little friends or is this what is called love, I'm sorry Wan I'm so embarrassed here. express it. "

"Yes, it's Sin's feeling of love. That means you accept me, right, Sin?"

"Yes, Wan, I accept that you are my boyfriend. The phone was already there, Daddy and Mom, I was afraid that they would call them for a long time."

"Yes, see you tomorrow at school, Sin, thank you."

"Ok Wan, see you tomorrow at school."

"See you .... say please .."

"Say what?

"I Love You so."

"Ehmmm I don't want to, bye Wan, see you tomorrow."

I was lying in my room, how come it feels like this huh, duh it's weird, this is how my heart feels now after Iwan answered his love, is he thinking about me again? As I thought about it? I want to leave the room, how come I get scared and nervous like this, it turns out this is how it feels to fall in love, if the proverb says it's millions. Then I helped Mom to cook in the kitchen for our dinner later.

After dinner, I said goodbye to the room, because I had to do my homework and sleep. I haven't been so nervous like this before, I feel chills, and what Iwan always imagines is Iwan's face again. How about tomorrow to meet with him my new girlfriend. It can get hot and cold, as if it is going wrong. I want to meet you, but shame is the feeling I feel right now, I'm shy but I want to.
